The Wedding Survey

I found this online, and decided to give it a shot!

How old are you both? 22, we'll be 23 when we get married
Do you have any pets? 1 dog - 1/2 Springer Spaniel, 1/2 Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, named Cody; 2 cats - 1 Maine Coon named Halo, 1 Orange Tabby (1/2 Maine Coon, 1/4 Siamese, 1/4 American Shorthair... not sure how the orange tabby happened) named Apollo, 1 turtle - Common Musk Turtle named Noodle.
Was the proposal a complete surprise? Sort of... but I saw it coming.
Will the wedding guests be "balanced?" Sort of, but not really. I have a bigger family, but our "categories" matched - we cut the list along the same generational lines.
What are some traditions you're keeping at your wedding? Basically a traditional Catholic Mass, cake cutting, spotlight dances, bouquet toss, garter toss...
Are you buying his wedding band for him? Yes! Already have it, we were talking about options for mine this morning.
What is one thing about your FI that drives you nuts? He's messy. And he doesn't put the cordless phone back on the hook... which is probably related to him not keeping his cell phone charged.
What are you most looking forward to about being married? Everything! Living together, getting a house, starting a family, going on scuba diving trips, starting a family...
Inside or outside? Inside, I don't like Plan Bs.
List anything you dislike. When the cordless phone is next to the hook instead of on it (pet peeve), messy cords and/or cables (another pet peeve), how wind is a lot colder when it's coming off the lake because there was nothing to break it.
How many people will be there? 250 Max.
Time of day? 2:00 pm Ceremony, 4:00 pm cocktail hour, 5:30 or 6:00pm dinner
Any kind of theme? Swans
How many bridesmaids? 5 bridesmaids, 5 groomsmen... probably 2 ushers.
What kind of cake/what will it look like? Not sure yet - but it'll probably be mostly white with some purple and orange highlights.
What kind of dress will you have/color/material? Mori Lee style #4608, white taffeta
What kind of flowers in your bouquet? Not sure yet - I was thinking white calla lilies, white orchids, and white roses.
Kind of engagement ring? White gold, prong setting. Beautiful!
How will you wear your hair? In a bunnish thing... not sure how to describe it..
Who will be important to be there? Everyone!
How long will you be engaged before you get married? 1 week shy of a year.
Live together before or wait till married? Ideally, we would wait, but it depends on where we would live and what makes financial sense.
Take a long time to plan the wedding or will it be simple? It’s not taking us a hugely long time to plan, but it’s going to be pretty fancy!
Will you write your own vows or use something pre-made? We’ll probably use the standard Catholic mass vows.
