The lead roles

For ease, i'm going to call myself bride1 and the fiancee, bride2. (It should be noted here, that Bride2 is second only because she is not writing this in first person, and I am. It should in no way be interpreted to mean that she has lesser influence in the plans or decisions of our wedding. I know she was worried about this, so i'm just making sure i don't get in trouble when she reads this. ) I can protect my privacy this way, though the friends and loved ones reading this will guess who is who. :)

I am a college graduate, and grew up here in the lovely State of Washington. I enjoy my life here in a relatively liberal city, Seattle, and find myself thinking in long term, which is good, because Bride2 agrees with me!

Bride2 grew up on the southern east coast, and so, since her transplant has decided to love Seattle as well.

Bride2 and I met through (of all things) craigslist. How I love craigslist. It scares me to think we might not have gone out ever if craigslist hadn't existed. We agree that neither of us felt a great pull toward the other at first, but after our second date (mandated by a policy i had made with a friend, that first dates were useless, and apart from personal safety concerns, everyone deserves a second date) we were both beginning to be hooked. It wasn't until our kiss on our fourth (yes, fourth! In those days we were moving slow) did we realize we wanted to be together for awhile, and it was nearly a month later before we started calling ourselves girlfriends!
