The Future Mr. and Mrs. Fleming

The first time I ever met Jen Schnizler, or "Schniz" as we lovingly call her, was at Burger King with a group of friends junior year of high school (do you remember this, Schniz?).  I was completely intimidated by her, since she was in the grade above me, but five seconds after getting to know her, I realized she really wasn't intimidating at all. ;)  We became good friends and "bahmerahs," which she is definitely credited with creating. 

I'll never forget when a few of the girls went to her parent's house during Winter Break of my junior year/her senior year of college and her telling us about this great guy she had just started dating.  We spent a while talking about him and when she showed us a picture of him, I remember saying, "Oh my gosh, that's exactly what I thought he would look like!" Needless to say, I could tell before even meeting him that Schniz was head-over-heels and one night of hanging out with Chris proved they were perfect for each other.  We even dubbed him "bromerah."

 

Chris proposed to Schniz on their six-year dating anniversary in the middle of December and the picture that was captured is honestly the cutest picture I have ever seen.

Congratulations to the future Mr. and Mrs. Fleming!!  And you can follow Jen and all of her wedding plans over on her blog. :)

The Future Mr. and Mrs. Lettre

Congratulations to one of my best friends since sixth grade Elisabeth on her engagement to Mike!!

 

 

He proposed at Oyster Bar in Columbia last Thursday night (look at that rock!), almost three years after their first date.  Congratulations to the future Lettres, and I can't wait for the celebrations to begin!!

The Future Mr. and Mrs. Meyer

Wedding season is underway, which means lots of showers and chances to celebrate with friends!  Yesterday, I drove to Atlanta for the day to celebrate Lindsay's upcoming wedding and to "shower" the future Mrs. Meyer with gifts and love.

 

Love you twinny and can't wait to watch you say "I do" in less than four months!

The Future Mr. and Mrs. Gorgeous Borges

This past weekend Dems got ENGAGED!!!

picture circa 2004, bahaha

Matt proposed at the "Love the Run You're With" 5k in DC and every incredibly sweet moment was caught on camera by a professional photographer (way to snag her, Schniz!).  You can check out all of the pictures here.  Seriously, they are uh-maz-ing. :)

And not only is the happy couple engaged, but they are EXPECTING!!!

We lovingly call him/her "Baby Bahmerah" or "Goregous Borges" (or sometimes "Carlos"....)

and I think I can speak for all the Bah's when I say that I am so happy for Matt and Demetria (aka "Demattria")....

and all of the excitement and joy that 2012 will bring for them!!!

The Future Mr. and Mrs. Smith

I knew Lauren, or "Flanz" as a lot of people call her, from high school and was so excited when she called to tell me she was coming down to Gerogia to be a Bulldog.  I was even more excited when she became an AXO and then my "little sister."  She is honestly the sweetest person I know, and she's just got engaged to her college sweetheart Shepard!!!!

I am so happy for them. And I mean, seriously, how cute are they!? :)

Weddings of 2012

Know what all of these people have in common?

1.  They are all wonderful friends.

2.  They all look like they could be in a magazine. 

3.  They are all getting married this year!

I love how Linds highlighted her year of weddings last year.  So I'm stealing your idea, twinny. ;)

Amy McGoff [& Nate Cherof]

May 26th

Atlanta, Georgia

Ames and I were AXOs together, lived next door to each other senior year, and then lived right down the street from each other in Augusta for two years.  She is always so much fun to be around, and she and Nate are perfect for each other (including their medical background-- a soon-to-be doctor & dentist!).  I've loved spending time with them post-colledge and can't wait to celebrate their big day over Memorial Day weekend.  

Lindsay Hamilton [& Travis Meyer]

June 23rd

Athens, Georgia

Linds and I like to say we went from orientation to graduation together and thankfully the journey didn't stop there (not that I thought it would....we are twinnys after all). I remember hearing about Travis freshman year walking back to the dorms and thinking how great they seemed for each other.  Now, eight years later she's one of my very best friends and they are getting married! I cannot wait to stand by them on a day I know they've both been waiting for for a long time.

 

Maggie Yates [& John Sorrenti]

June 23rd

Atlanta, Georgia

 Mags and I were also in the same pledge class and lived on the same hall at AXO for two years.  She moved to D.C. for law school where she met John, and I would definitely describe them as adventurous (they've been Costa Rica, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam......).  Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to be two places at once, but I'll definitely be at their wedding in spirit!

Windsor Curry [& Chris Lineback]

June 30th

Warrenton, North Carolina

Winds and I have been bff's (or bah's as we like to say) since high school, where we enjoyed dancing, late-nighting, and AIM stalking together. She lives in Raleigh now, where she met her sweet fiance Chris (he made her a table with a wine rack one year-- how awesome!).  I am so happy for them and can't wait to celebrate their special day in June.

Stephanie Tuerk [& Danny Brown]

July 28th

Atlanta, Georgia

Tuerky and I met freshman year when we were standing in line next to each other during rush (yay for last names that start with "Tu").  We ended up prefing the three exact same sororities, but inevitably chose the best one. We lived at AXO for two years and then were roomies senior year.  We always have so much fun together, and I cannot wait to stand next to her as she marries her perfect match.  

   

Stephanie Greene [& Kyle Martin]

October 20th

Charlottesville, Virginia

Steph and I have also been bff's since high school and even though we really haven't lived in the same city since graduating, we've always been really close.  She's such a perfect friend (and an awesome cook!) and my favorite memories together are always our trips, like our journey to Greece.  She's marrying her high school sweetheart, and I feel so lucky to stand by two great friends on their big day.  

They'll be here before we know it, loves!!  

The Future Mr. and Mrs. Cherof

I am heading to Atlanta tomorrow and can't wait to "shower" my good friend Amy with gifts at her first bridal shower.  She and her fiance Nate are such a perfect couple, and I can't wait to watch them become husband and wife at the end of May!!

P.S. Ames just matched at her FIRST CHOICE at UC Colorado in the Ophthalmology residency....she was one of four people in the entire COUNTRY!!!  Thankfully, though, that program doesn't start until 2013 and she gets to stay closer to me in Augusta until then.  Very selfish, I know. :)

The Future Mr. and Mrs. Lineback

Congratulations to one of my bahmerahs Windsor and her new fiance Chris!!!!

They got engaged on Friday, and I could not be more excited for them. Love y'all!

The Future Mr. and Mrs. Brown

I am so excited to head to Atlanta in a couple of hours for Steph and Danny's engagement party! Gaines is staying in Waynesboro for a friend's wedding...during wedding season, we have to "divide and conquer" like he says. But not only do I get to spend time celebrating the wonderful couple tonight...

 but I get to spend time with my college best friends, too.

See you soon siiiiiisters!

The Future Mr. and Mrs. Martin

One of my favorite things about weddings is going to all of the fun events that lead up to the actual wedding. It's a perfect reason to reunite with my favorite people, and I am beyond excited to spend the weekend in Virginia with my high school best friends to celebrate these two lovebirds.

Kyle and Steph were good friends in high school, starting dating (long-distance!) freshman year of college, and have been dating for the past seven years!  They are not only amazing people, but make an absolutely perfect couple.  They will say "I do" on October 20, 2012, and I am so excited and honored to stand by them when they do.

Let the celebrations begin. :)
