Future Mrs. Webb!
Master October 2017

Just realized I haven't introduced myself!

Future Mrs. Webb!, on February 8, 2016 at 1:13 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 21

Hey y'all! I'm Monica. I met my now-fiance on a dating website called OKCupid. We messaged there for a while, texted for a while, then FINALLY our schedules aligned and we set up a first date. We were supposed to just grab coffee one afternoon, but our first date ended up lasting EIGHT HOURS! (That's when I knew he was special!)

We're getting married on Oct 6 in Mobile, Alabama, at an absolutely beautiful venue called Azalea Manor. We have a dachshund mix puppy named Rocky (which is short for Rocketman) and a tabby cat named Sunny (after Sunny Baudelaire). We're both nerds; he's a computer tech and I have an encyclopedic knowledge of Harry Potter.

So, hello! Smiley smile

    @Maritza: Thank you!

    @DJ and Adore: It's more and more common these days! Used to be that if you said you met online, people wrinkled their noses at you.

    Welcome to WW! There are a couple other brides who are from Mobile, though I believe they are now in Birmingham (not 100% sure). Congratulations on your engagement!

    Welcome, Monica! FH and I also met on okcupid and have a very similar first date story. Apparently there are a lot of OKC couples here! Congrats and happy planning!

    Congrats, Monica! My fiance and I couldn't stop talking on our first date, too! We met for dinner, and then drove to a nearby park so we could talk more since we weren't ready to say goodnight. Spent a couple hours walking around the park, and then he drove me back to my car, where we stood in the restaurant parking lot for a while longer saying everything but goodnight. Didn't last 8 hours, though! Impressive!
