Congrats!!

Welcome to The Knot & The CT board!

We are so excited to have more and more Knotties join us as well as hear from our MARRIED KNOTTIES!!

Please do not be shy, we were once newbies here as well and would love to hear about your recent engagement, planning thus far as well as any questions or concerns. And when all the planning is over.....vendor reviews & of course pictures of your special day!! 

CT Knotties LOVE:

1. An Detailed Intro.- Who doesn't love details? Whether you're a newbie or a lurker on our board, please post & tell us a little about yourself. We'd love to know about you & your FI, your date, your wedding colors, how many people in your BP, where you're from and anything else you'd like to add!!

2. A Bio.- All Knotties love bios! We love to check out each others venues, attire, DIY ideas & accomplishments and so on. Plus, we even get some ideas from your ideas.  Bios are one of the best ways to share in each others wedding plans. Please, take the time to create one if you like. Over time we've discovered the following websites are free & very user-friendly: http://www.mywedding.com/ http://www.weebly.com/ If you need any help at all, please don't hesitate to ask.

Other than that, enjoy every moment of your wedding planning! We hope that we are as much help to you as other Knotties have been to us! CT Knotties are beyond helpful & knowledgeable!! We are here for your questions (believe me, there are plenty of them) or concerns!

Happy Planning!

I signed up for the KNOT info last October after becoming engaged but have only begun to play on it.  Love your bio, congrats!  And too funny but Cascades was my first choice, it is beautiful.  We also loved The Society Room in Hartford for its style and for location/hotels.  I will have to play on my profile so I can share all my details:)
I am getting married 05-29-11 and have my venue, photographer, dj, photobooth and just need to find my florist and of course Honeymoon location:))))
Good Luck!

Hi,,

I'm not technically new.. I've been on the knot.com for a while.. but my other signon would never let me update my profile or do any of the fun RSVP's and wedding ticker on the end of my signature.. so I opted for a new name..

~waving~ hello...

We are not from CT, but are getting legally married in Stamford because same-sex marriage has yet to become legal in of all places New York City. So much for us being the place for everyone! lol

At any rate, I'm enjoying what I've read so far and came here because we thought it best to use all CT vendors since this is where we will be wed. So I just wanted to drop by and say .... "hey".

Hi all,

Well you can see my KOTW post here http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/local-wedding-boards_connecticut_kotw-mrmrsrobbins for extensive details.  The long and short of it is...

I signed up for the knot when I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding for last July, but obviously became more involved when I got engaged myself this past October :) 

FI and I have been together for almost 9 years, even with a little bit of an "off" time period.  We live together in Madison, and both grew up in neighboring towns.  We started dating June 22, 2001 and I would have loved if we could have gotten married on that date in 2011, but alas we didn't want our wedding in the middle of the week and the 22nd doesn't fall on a Saturday until 2013 and that was just too long for us to wait to be husband and wife at last.  We are paying for the wedding ourselves, so we needed some time to save so June 2011 wasn't too close or too far away (well it seems forever away, I want to be married NOW lol).  We initially settled with getting as close to the 22nd as possible (June 18th), but when we selected our venue, the bridal suite was booked so we chose the week before (June 11th).  I'm actually excited about this date because it is 11 days before our 10 year anniversary of being together.  Our venue is going to be Latitude 41* at Mystic Seaport so it will be an evening wedding (I'm so excited for sunset by the water pictures) and since it's up to me, as the FI says, the colors are going to be lilac dresses for the BMs and light pink/white/lilac colored flower scheme. 

His groomsmen include his best friend as the best man and 2 or 3 of his other friends as his groomsmen (he hasn't asked all of them yet or officially decided).  My attendants include my best friend from high school as my MOH, my 2 friends from college and Bill's/my friend (also wife of the best man) as my bridesmaids, and Bill's younger half-sister who will be 12 at the time of the wedding as a junior bridesmaid.

Hi All,

I am newly engaged but signed up for the knot awhile ago.  I was told by my friends who are married going on here is a MUST as they all call me clueless when it comes to the wedding planning. 

We have the Waterview in Monroe booked for April 16, 2011.  That is the only thing we have so far.  We are currently meeting with photographers and are looking for DJs.

What else should I be doing???

Hello!

So my Mark & I got engaged last June, and we're getting married Sept. 9 in Ivoryton. So very excited. We've been together for two and a half years. Planning has been semi-stressful, Mark is from & lives in Britain. I live & got to school in New York. I just thought i'd finally join the conversation now that the big day is looming closer!

I have been a member since less than 12 hours after I got engaged last August, but I really haven't done much in terms of connecting with other Knotties...so I figured I'd put myself out there.  We are getting married on Feb. 19, 2011 at Saint Clements.  A beautiful winter wedding at a gorgeous venue.  We are having hard time with photographer and ceremony musicians.  Things are so expensive!! :)  I am so excited to get married!  Id love to talk with other brides who are going through what we are! :)

-Sarah


Congrats to you all!!!

Hi All!  Newly engaged here (5/11) and can't even begin to think of what I should be doing!  :)  St. Augustine, Florida is a very special place for FI and I...and we've tossed around ideas of getting married there with a small group - but I'm a bit torn...having a CT wedding would mean having everyone with us that day.  Sure we could have a "reception" when we get back from Florida, but all I see is $$$!!!  Hard to believe that I'm at the point in my life where I'm going to be a BRIDE, but very very excited about it.  :)

Greetings! Just got engaged this past weekend and am very excited to get married to the best guy I've ever met. We've been together just over 2 years, lasted through a long-distance relationship for a year, and finally after a year together we're making it official.

I am clueless about wedding planning and my goal is to have a low-key smallish wedding. That is proving to be a challenge based on the number of family members we have to invite. I don't have a wedding color or a BP (not sure I'm even going to have one - thoughts welcome). Our date would be whenever the venue we want is available (not sure wgere the venue is yet, but we want outdoors and a vineyard would be ideal).  Basically as soon as possible in a warm weather month.

That's it for now. Looking forward to sharing ideas with this group and so glad this site exists for novices like myself!

I have been engaged for a few months (4/17), but haven't really done much on the boards.  I live in NY, but wanted a beach wedding, so we are getting married at Anthony's in New Haven next August.  So far we have booked the venue, photo and videographer and DJ.  On of my bridemaids is also my hairdresser so I am lucky to have her doing my hair!  Congratuations to everyone:)
