The Bride and Groom

Hello everyone! So I decided to start blogging the ups and the downs of our wedding planning so that we can always remember this time in our lives. Of course, the groom's perspective might be left out of this because the Mr. could really care less if our colors are elegant grey and cobalt blue with pops of plum (pretty huh?) or if they were puke green and mustard yellow. The first wonderful thing about my man, he gives me complete creative control on this wedding because he trusts me not to dress him in pink paisley or anything else too girly or bridal.

So I should probably introduce the important characters in this story. First (and clearly, the most important) me, the bride-to-be. I am 24 and  I am a graduate student pursuing my Master's degree in Environmental Science. I basically want to be Captain Planet!

The Mr. is 27 and works in the business world (he is sensitive about keeping work private so I will leave this out) Don't worry he doesn't work for the mob or anything!

We met back in 2006 in college. I was 19 and he was 21. We both worked at an off campus dorm, I was an RA (you know that annoying uperclassman that told you that you couldn't do keg stands at 3am when you were 18- yup that's me, spoiler of all fun!) He was the night staff guy that sat at the front desk to inspect the bags of students coming into the dorm at 1am on a Friday night with an entire hamper of laundry (aka a case of beer hidden under laundry). Together we ruined the freshman experience of the students in our dorm all because we were also broke college students. I got free housing and meal plan- that sold me!

Well we spent a lot of time together, except he had a girlfriend at the time, dislike! I learned a lot about his character during this time because even though I was shamelessly flirting with him, he never once reciprocated  There were also female dorm residents constantly throwing themselves at him to get out of trouble and he never once paid them any attention.

A few months later he told me that he and his girlfriend had broken up!

Did you and your Mr. start off as friends? Was it love at first sight? Was one of you already in a relationship? What did you learn about each other prior to going on your first date?
