Saying Our Vows: Meet the Bride and Groom

On the advice of one of my favorite bloggers, Bessie (check out her blog Bravoe Runway), I thought I'd do a recurring feature once a week to provide myself with something to look forward to each week- and hopefully you too.  And what better feature than to detail my wedding, and wedding inspirations?  This will help keep my mind organized, keep me on track, and maybe even be able to share inspiration with those of you that are also in the wedding planning stages.

As most of you have seen, I got engaged a few weeks ago (see my engagement post here) to an amazing guy named Brandon.  Since I'm going to be sharing with you planning details I thought maybe I should do a better job of introducing us, the Bride and Groom, to you all.  So here goes, a few details about us!



Sarah & Brandon
Wedding Date: November 10, 2012

Brandon's birthday in Pittsburgh- the city we'd start our
life together a couple years later.

Bride
Age: 28
Hometown: Toledo, OH
Occupation: Claims representative for health insurance company
Football Team: Cleveland Browns
Style: Classic, mixed with bohemian
Brandon's Favorite Quality in Sarah: "Your honesty.  I really like that about you.  Sometimes you suck for it, but I really like it."



July 4, 2011 on a dinner cruise along the Pittsburgh rivers.









Groom
Age: 34
Hometown: Genoa, OH (our hometowns are about 40 minutes apart)
Occupation: Supervisor of meter reading for electric company
Football Team: Pittsburgh Steelers (Our teams hate each other, it causes issues every Sunday)
Style: Classic, mixed with preppy
Sarah's Favorite Quality in Brandon: His humor.  He is one of the funniest people I've ever met.  (Don't tell him that though!)


Our first date, December 31, 2008

Brandon and I met a few years ago and I knew this was something special fairly quickly.  Brandon made me laugh like no one else, he is incredibly intelligent (he might even be too smart for his own good), and one of the most caring men I've ever met.  From the moment I met him, he has treated me like a Princess and it hasn't stopped.  He is supportive and wants me to have everything I desire in this world.  We have the same sense of humor and just really "get" each other.  I feel like the luckiest girl in the world when I'm with him, and luckily he feels the same way with me.

Celebrating our engagement.
So, that's a little bit about us.  Now tell me, is the Saying Our Vows feature something that you'll be looking forward to each week?  Are you excited to see how our wedding progresses?  Are any of you getting married too?
