  • 1. We met in the 10th grade. He was my first boyfriend and we quickly fell in love and have been together ever since. This December we will celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary! 

    2. We got married on December 18, 2010. Our ceremony was held in a historic barn and we had the reception in a cute house on the property. Our colors were silver and dark teal. As for unique, we threw fake snow down along with our rose petals as we walked down the aisle. It was beautiful!

    3. What is your favorite TV show? I love M*A*S*H! 

    4. Where do you shop for clothes? Hmm... Old Navy, New York and Company, and Target? lol I'm cheap. 

    5. Favorite holiday? Pascha or Christmas. It's a close tie. :P

  • 1.  We met through mutual friends.  We actually "met" at a superbowl party two years earlier, but neither of us remembered the other being there.  Oops!

    2. We got married in the spring at a loft-style event space.  It was in an urban area but had a beautiful courtyard with trees behind it where we had the ceremony and cocktail hour.  I was so afraid it would rain, but it held off until the very end of cocktail hour!  The inside of the venue was a rustic loft space, very cool and non-traditional (although quite popular around here).  Our colors were just neutral (blush, beige, gray, white) and metallics (silver and gold).  It was amazing, but I wouldn't do all of the planning again for a million dollars!   

    3. Hard to pick one favorite TV show, I have a few that I could (and do) watch over and over ... The Office, Parks & Rec, Arrested Development, 30 Rock

    4.  Lately I have been shopping with Stitch Fix, and I'm loving it so far! I usually shop at TJ Maxx or Nordstrom Rack... but I'm incredibly indecisive so that makes it tough lol.  I also loooove J. Crew Factory.

    5. Christmas is definitely my favorite holiday.  I love all of the traditions, getting to see family, and decorating the house is my favorite thing ever!   This will be our first year living in the house just the two of us, so I'm excited to go crazy with the xmas decor!

    Also.... I used to work at Borders too!  I was a barista in the coffee shop.  I miss that place!

  • 1. How did you meet your SO? We met in kindgergarten. We started dating our senior year after being best friends through school.
    2. If you're married, tell us about your wedding. Season, colors, venue? Anything unique? We got married December 27, 2014. Our colors were blush pink and navy with gold accents. We ended up having beautiful weather that day. One of the most special moments to me was my brothers giving me away.
    3. What is your favorite TV show? I watch too much TV, lol. I love Law and Order: SVU and Criminal Minds, Scandal, Walking Dead. I'm sure there are more.
    4. Where do you shop for clothes? I try to always hit TJMaxx first to see if I can find something cheaper first. My favorite is LOFT and Dillards.
    5. Favorite holiday? I love everything about Christmas! I love decorating and the smells and seeing family and really just the over all good feeling everyone has!

  • 1. We met at work. He was my manager and it was all very scandalous because we both could have gotten fired if the head honchos had found out.

    2. Not married yet, but I want a spring wedding, and a non flower bouquet, like making it out of paper, buttons or the like.

    3. Doctor Who and Hogans Heroes.

    4. Target, Kohles and Old Navy.

    5. Another Christmas girl. I'm about to put a Christmas CD in the player to listen to.....

  • 1. How did you meet your SO? We met at a bar between mutual friends. Hit it off instantly. Went on our first real "date" a couple days later, which was a hike

    2. If you're married, tell us about your wedding. Season, colors, venue? Anything unique? Just got married last week! It was in a barn. Ceremony was outside. Colors were primarily Navy and gold with a few fall accents here and there

    3. What is your favorite TV show? Friends! Also, departures. Great travel show on Netflix

    4. Where do you shop for clothes? Kind of everywhere... looking for new shops.. I'm in that in between age where I feel too old for some shops and too young for others

    5. Favorite holiday? Christmas all the way!
  • I love reading this post. It's great getting to know everyone. 

    1. How did you meet your SO?
     We had mutual friends and were at several events before we actually met each other. My husband and another guy asked me to date them at the same time. I turned down my husband! We remained friends, and after we both went through failed relationships, we decided that we should give it a go! (He claims he waited the whole time, knowing I would change my mind.) 
    2. If you're married, tell us about your wedding. Season, colors, venue? Anything unique? We got married in March in Wisconsin, so it was VERY wintery. In fact, we had a snowstorm the night before. Our colors were dark grey and hot pink. We didn't really have a theme, but went for things we love and very DIY - Dum Dum ball center pieces, paper bouquets made out of etiquette books, and birds everywhere as I have always been obsessed with them. 

    One unique thing is that I proposed to my husband. I made him an adventure book, like the move UP and gave it to him by the river. The last page was a proposal.  
    3. What is your favorite TV show?  I'm torn on this one because I am a Netflix Addict. Right now it's Downton, Call the Midwife, and Once Upon a Time
    4. Where do you shop for clothes?  Old Navy, Maurices, and H&M
    5. Favorite holiday?  Easter - I love that it's a holiday about new life.

  • This is fun! 

    1. How did you meet your SO? University; in a class of 650 1st year psych students. We were put in the same room for our final exam. 


    2. If you're married, tell us about your wedding. Season, colors, venue? Anything unique? We were married in January in the dead of winter. We had a perfect, snowy day. Big chunky flakes fell during our photos and it was about -15. Perfect. Our colors were neutrals: ivories, grays, mostly.  We intended to use some eggplant purples too but it just disappeared halfway through planning. Our venue was an eco-resort in the forest, with little guest cabins and a gorgeous lodge feel to it. We had a small wedding (about 60 people) and it was an absolutely beautiful day. 

    3. What is your favorite TV show? I don't know that I have an absolute favorite, but here are some of my go-to series: Friends, Sex and the City, Scandal, Grey's Anatomy, Suits, Breaking Bad, etc. I love a good series! 

    4. Where do you shop for clothes? I don't clothes shop often as we live in a small town and have to drive out to do it or do it online. I'll pretty much go into any store and check things out. I don't have a go to place. I do like getting my jeans at the Gap as I get a good fit there. 

    5. Favorite holiday? Christmas and thanksgiving!
  • 1) We grew up in the same small town our whole lives, but never met. Somehow became friends on Facebook, started chatting, met for a movie, and the rest is history.

    2) We were married in May 2014 in my husband's small country church and then had our reception at a historic community home in our town. Our colors were coral and navy.

    3.) I watch too much TV. I love Grey's Anatomy, How To Get Away With Murder, Criminal Minds. I am also into some new tv shows Blood and Oil, Quantico, and Scream Queens. Scream Queens is cheesy, but it is funny at the same time. Also love The Vampire Diaries on The CW and The Walking Dead.

    4.)  I love to shop at local boutiques. 

    5.) I love Christmas.
  • 1. Blind date set up by his mom and a college friend's mom.

    2. We had a totally nontraditional traditional wedding. Urban church that had been converted from a bar. One bridesmaid and three groomsmen. Reception in a brewery. No grand entrance, first dances, tosses, toasts, cake cutting, etc. We just basically had a really expensive kick ass party.

    3. We don't have cable so I mostly stick with what I can find on Netflix/Amazon Prime. Lots of PBS Masterpiece and BBC stuff, plus Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Orange is the New Black, Narcos, etc.

    4. I have to wear business professional to work so mostly Nordstrom and J. Crew during the week and Old Navy on the weekends.

    5. Christmas
  • 1. At a bar

    2. We got married in June 2011 in downtown Philadelphia. Colors were black, white and light pink. We had a grand entrance with sparklers going off next to us. I wish I could do it all over again!  

    3. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Breaking Bad, Parks & Recreation

    4. Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic

    5. Christmas

  • Hi all! I haven't seen a GTKY in a couple days so here goes nothing.

    1. How did you meet your SO?
    I met my DH at a house party my sister threw behind my parents back. He was invited by a friend and flirted with me the whole night. Gosh, we were so young then.

    2. If you're married, tell us about your wedding. Season, colors, venue? Anything unique?
    We will be married 5 years in November. We married on black friday right after thanks giving. Our colors were red to match DH's dress blues (marines). My husband and I had a small wedding, 22 people including us. I was 21 and he was 23 at the time. We had found out he was deploying for afghanistan and would be gone for our original wedding date. So we rushed to get married because we were tired of waiting.

    3. What is your favorite TV show?
    Walking Dead
    American Horror Story
    Once Upon a Time

    4. Where do you shop for clothes?
    TJmax mostly( or thrifting). I want to go to Target more.. but they are always packed and I hate that.

    Xmas is my favorite, and thanksgiving is DH's favorite. Although it has become very stressful with the traveling.

  • Hi! I'm new here. Have been posting a bit on TTGP and decided to join in here as well. It's nice to get to know a bit about all of you :)

    1. How did you meet your SO?

    We met when we were 20. I had a summer job working in a lab and he came from France to do an internship in the same lab.

    2. If you're married, tell us about your wedding. Season, colors, venue? Anything unique? 

    We got married in four years ago in France during the summer. We rented a beautiful chateau and had a ceremony on the lawn, hors d'oeuvres on the terrace, and dinner/dancing inside. We didn't have colours exactly, but we had tons of floral arrangements in various shades of pink, orange, yellow, some red. Lots of candles and fairy lights in the evening. The best part about our wedding was the food (it was delicious) and the fireworks show (I love fireworks so much lol)! It was amazing, and the party lasted until 6am haha

    3. What is your favorite TV show? 

    I think Downton Abbey might be my favourite! Also love American Horror Story and the documentary series Mayday.

    4. Where do you shop for clothes? 

    Usually J. Crew, Banana Republic, Aritzia, sometimes Top Shop.

    5. Favorite holiday? 

    Christmas!!! I'm obsessed with it.
  • 1. We met at work. We were both first year teachers fresh out of college.

    2. We had a summer wedding, and were married at 10 AM because the church lacked air conditioning. After the reception, we went to a sporting event in wedding attire. His vest matched a team color!

    3. My favorite show is Walking Dead. I'm bummed that we cancelled cable, the gym doesn't have AMC, and Hulu doesn't seem to carry it.

    4. Most of my clothes come from Target.

    5. Halloween is my favorite. No pressure, just fun.

  • 1- Long story. But ultimately we had been friends for 4 1/2 years, both toying with the idea of pursuing something with the other, but never at the same time. Until I just went up to him and asked him to ask me on a date! I also was roommates with his sister at the time, and friends with his other sister. So basically, we only needed about three dates before we knew we were getting married.

    2- We got married 8 months after we started dating in March. Colors were navy blue and pink. It was threatening to snow all day, but never really did. But a lot of our guests left the reception earlier because of the impending storm. DH's brother in law did the best man speech and relived the moment I told him to ask me out to the Fresh Prince rap.

    3- We cancelled cable, so it's Netflix only. I love Doctor Who. And right now we are rewatching The Office.

    4- I love The Loft for dresses and Banana Republic for work clothes. But outlets only!

    5- I wish I could be original here, but I'm going with Christmas. It's the only thing that makes winter worth it! Thanksgiving is a close second, though.
  • 1. How did you meet your SO? We met at the farmers market in town. We were both at the flower vendor, and we picked out the same flower. He introduced himself, and I brought him home and made him soup! He was so nervous he squished his flowers. 

    2. If you're married, tell us about your wedding. Season, colors, venue? Anything unique? We were married this past summer. We had a garden wedding, and the reception in the carriage barn. The flower vendor we met at did all of our flowers at the wedding and they were amazing! 


    3. What is your favorite TV show? We're just starting "once upon a time" - otherwise we watch a lot of HGTV

    4. Where do you shop for clothes? Thredup! It's an awesome resale site, with a ton of designer labels. Other wise, usually Loft, or Gap.

    5. Favorite holiday? New Years! I love the chance to think about the past year, and now we're all grown up, it's usually the one night a year we go out and dance the night away. 

    And, random wedding picture for good measure!




  • i know I post irregularly but I guess I don't have that much to say. :-)

    Love reading how you all met!!



    1. How did you meet your SO?
    Through mutual friends. He saw my profile pic on Facebook and wanted to meet me. I said no but a couple years later we started talking on the phone lol

    2. If you're married, tell us about your wedding. Season, colors, venue? Anything unique?
    Married 5 years as of July. Colors were orchid, apple green, pear green, chocolate brown and ivory. It was pear themed. The idea came from an invitation I loved.

    3. What is your favorite TV show?
    It changes. We dropped cable (ATT and their price gouging!) so I hardly watch TV but Friends is always a favorite.

    4. Where do you shop for clothes?
    I rarely do but I own a lot from Gap. I like simplicity.

    5. Favorite holiday?
    CHRISTMAS!!!!

  • 1. How did you meet your SO?
    We met at band camp. He was the section leader at the time.

    2. Tell us about your wedding. Season, colors, venue? Anything unique?
    4th of July! Colors: blue (turquoise) and gold (not yellow). Venue: his church, then an all inclusive reception venue. Nothing too unique besides us! Lol we're different races, and different denominations too. From different states as well.

    3. What is your favorite TV show?
    FRIENDS!!

    4. Where do you shop for clothes?
    All over. Wherever there's a good sale. Hopefully Motherhood Maternity someday soon!

  • @KASG Glad to know I'm not the only one for #1....

    1. How did you meet your SO? We met at band camp, we were in the same section (baritone) in college.

    2. If you're married, tell us about your wedding. Season, colors, venue? Anything unique? This past July, colors were purple & lime green with leaves (bright green ones) as our theme. Big guest list, lots of good food & drinks. We did a handfasting, as well as a unity cocktail in lieu of candle.

    3. What is your favorite TV show? We haven't ever had live TV to watch, but we love ER, Firefly, and Stargate on DVD.

    4. Where do you shop for clothes? If I have money & an important quest for the perfect item: athleta.com. More often: TJMax or thrift shop. I am very hard to fit for pants, so I'll usually invest in a few really nice pairs at once, plus the thrift store for some icky cheapies for dirty work.

    5. Favorite holiday? Halloween. I love giving gifts (xmas & birthdays) but I love the dual purpose of creating costumes (I sew), seeing others costumes whether store-bought or homemade, and STILL getting to give out candy as a little gift.
