Re: NOTW: Ask me anything!
Also loved all the PIP's!
What would you sell in your etsy shop?
How did you and M meet?
How was it not living with M before the wedding? Was it tough? Did you encounter a lot of judgement?
How long did you date before getting married? How did he propose?
I'm not 100% sure... otherwise, I'd have probably opened one by now! My overall idea is to sell personalized creations. It spawned from these decorative plate I made for a couple friends getting married with their new last initial on them. They turned out so good that I wanted to sell them... but I feel like it's not enough...like I need more stuff to fill out a "store"
M and I met at church. His family was looking for a new church to attend at came to mine. They ended up staying and we ended up dating!
I really didn't even think twice about not living or sleeping together before getting married. To us, that was never even an option on the table. It was challenging at times to say good night and go our separate ways, but we knew it was the right thing to do. I never felt judged for this until I went on the Knot actually. In the circles I travel, it's not normal to live together... it's wrong in fact. None of my close friends live or have ever lived with or slept with their current SO. Now, I have friends who have slept with other people, but as a one time thing. I know it's not the "norm" any more to be this way, but it's normal for me and my little bubble
We dated for 2 years and 8 months before he proposed and were engaged for 9 months. My proposal story is kinda long... the short version is that he left notes for me to find throughout my day, had flowers delivered, and showed up at my work. He whisked me away (scaring the bejebbers out of me) and took me to the park where my dad proposed to my mom. There's an suuuuper old church there that he took me into where he had his Bible, guitar, and flowers set up. He read and played for me, then FINALLY asked
haha, thanks! I have all my old little pet shop stuff too... and my polly pockets. And can I just say that they were so much better when we were kids... even if they were a choking hazard!
