Weddingbee bios

I was born and raised in West Dundee, IL.  I went to Harrington College of Design for Interior Design.  I love design and very artistic and couldn't think of anything else I would want to do...but maybe become a wedding planner because I am having soo...much fun planning my wedding...I consider my wedding as my design project!

My hobbies consist of hanging out with friends, shopping (I work at Gap on weekends...just for the discount! ), golf (but still in training), furniture shopping and anything design related.

Ryan was born in Texas and moved up to Illinois when he was eight years old due to his fathers job relocation and to be closer to family.  Ryan went to school out in Tennesse on a baseball scholarship.  Ryan's hobbies are eating and breathing sports (his favs are Atlanta Braves and Dallas Cowboys), hiking specially in the Smoky Mountains, bowling, golfing (he is my awesome coach!) but mainly any sport he can play and does it well.

   

I met Ryan in high school.  It was sort of a set up by two friends but we did not really have a clue.  My friend in high school, Christine, was dating Josh, who went to a different high school and was friends with Ryan.  It was Josh's birthday and where did Josh decide to go out for his birthday but only to go to Hooters!  Christine had called me up to come out to celebrate, I was hesitant because..Hooters?...really? so she finally convinced me to come out. 

When I had got to Hooters it was Christine, Josh, and two other people I had never met.  I was introduced to Ryan and Andrea.  Ryan and Andrea were sitting next to each other so I initally thought they were a couple.  It was a fun time hanging out just the five of us.  I had only stayed for an hour and left before everyone else. On my way home I called up Christine on my way home, and she asked "what did you think of Ryan?", and my response was "he's cute!", the first thing out of Christine's mouth was "I didn't think he was your type?."  He was definitely my type, so of course I told her to do her magic of playing matchmaker...and here we are today together and marrying my best friend

Adorae from Sottero and Midley...I loved the way the fabric layed and the modern look of the dress.
