That sounds amazing!

I'd love more than anything to go to Scotland.


How did you end up getting that internship?

 

[FlatpickingJD]

Uh, I applied and interviewed for it?

What is the one song you'd like to learn how to play for your wedding?

I applied here:

http://www.careers.state.gov/student/programs/index.html

It's best not to apply with one's heart set on a certain country, though. You can choose two different regions, and a preferred country in each, but the odds of getting the country you picked for first choice are only slightly better than that of winning the lottery.
Otherwise I'd be in Ireland.

Ah well, I'm looking forward to seeing Paraguay!

 

[Jenster]

Uh, I applied and interviewed for it?

LOL. I was wondering how to respond to that one...

What is the one song you'd like to learn how to play for your wedding?

Actually I've played at enough people's weddings. For my own wedding, I would like someone else to do the music.

What is the one song you'd like to learn how to play for your wedding?

 

[covenantwmn]

Never Ending Song of Love, Delaney and Bonnie

What season would you like to get married in?

 

[FlatpickingJD]

Spring - it's a time of rebirth and that seems the best time for a marriage: rebirth as a couple. 'kay, so I'm odd.


Do you want to be married in a church or outside (assuming you don't want a winter wedding)?

 

[Jenster]

Church, probably. Outside would be lovely, but then there are so many variables to contend with.

Would you want to get married in the morning, afternoon or evening?

 

[Babymine]

the afternoon or evening

What is a "must have" wedding song of yours?

 

[Jenster]

I'm a sucker for "I Will Be Here," sung by two guys with a guitar. Sooo romantic!

What kind of reception would you hold?

 

[PaperMoon]

hmm. well since I don't know what the last question was I'll just have to ask one


what brought you to CF

I wasn't appreciate on a different Religon Board. There were a mixture of liberal Christians, Buddhists, Mormons, and they pegged me a "Fundy," and just weren't very nice. Most were polite, but one was downright nasty. No matter what I posted, it was dubbed "inappropriate." Finally she told me I should try to remember I was on a Religion board, NOT a Christian board. Then I started thinking that she was probably right. I needed a CF! Tah-Dah....and here I am.

 

[Babymine]

Id want my reception to be fun. I really want my wedding (if ever I have one) to be a celebration.
I dont really know how I would attempt that though hehe.

Do you have anything actually written down in terms of plans for your wedding?

And we're glad you're here and welcome.

Do you have anything actually written down in terms of plans for your wedding?

No, b/c I'm a guy and I figure that the woman I marry will have her own thoughts on the matter, planned for a very long time. My role is to get there, be dressed appropriately and not trip on the way down the aisle, and say 'I do' when prompted.

Do you have a church picked where you'd like to get married?

 

[Mskedi]

I'm thinking more along the lines of justice of the peace... I'd much rather elope than have a wedding.

Do you feel it is important to have several witnesses to a wedding?

 

[Jenster]

Yes, I want to share the happiness with our friends and family.

Do you know where you'd like to honeymoon?

 

[FlatpickingJD]

Now THAT I have some thoughts on. I'd like to go someplace warm, say Hawaii or the Bahamas or Jamaica.

Would you like live music at the reception or a really good DJ?

 

[Babymine]

Live music would be amazing, but a DJ would be cheaper

How many people would you like to have at your wedding Maximun?

 

[Jenster]

Maybe 150? It's hard to get around to talk with everyone if there's too many people. But, otoh, you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by leaving anyone out.

How much do you think is reasonable to spend on a wedding?

 

[FlatpickingJD]

I can't really put a dollar figure on reasonable, b/c I'm not in the planning stages and don't know what things cost. However, I know people who've spent a literal fortune on their wedding and wound up living for a few years in a 400 sq ft studio, even after a kid b/c of the cost - they'd spent all they had. That's too much.

Would you like to write your own vows or use traditional ones?
