Miss Kettle, Chicago, IL Age and Occupation: 26, Non-Profit Donor Resource Coordinator Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Musician & Teacher Engagement Date: May 29, 2011 Wedding Date: February 2012 Venue: Patrick C. Haley Mansion, Joliet, IL About Me: I'm a city girl who loves a good escape, so I'm planning a Chicago wedding outside of the city. I've been described as a quirky yet down-to-earth drama queen who loves fiercely. I used to be a scientist, but now I'm learning to navigate the world of non-profit organizations. I love cooking, blogging, shopping, and music, and movies (Hans Zimmer is my favorite movie composer). Mr. Kettle and I had a short courtship and now we have a happy home with our cat-who-thinks-she's-people, Belle. We spend our days and nights with good food, live music, video games, family, and friends. Our wedding has become this wonderful excuse to bring together hundreds of people we can't bear to be without.

A small handful of us Chicagoans met this past Sunday. I only took one picture, and that was on my Blackberry. I’m still trying to find my camera.

We went to Panera. I walked in, late as I always seem to be, and looked around with no idea of how to find the other women. Luckily, they spotted me. I’m so glad I have my picture up on Weddingbee because I’m not very comfortable approaching people I don’t know.

We had lunch and chatted about Ms. Snax’s honeymoon. She already had her wedding photos up. While we were looking at them, we noticed the next pictures right after hers were the engagement photos for Anne, who was also at the meet!

I must admit that, most days, I feel incredibly jaded about this whole wedding-planning thing. I just want it to be over. I want the big decisions finally hammered out so I can spend all my time on my DIY projects. I will get it together, hive, I promise.

Personal image: Yay for Chicago!

Hopefully at our next meet, more people can show up. We figure because it was such an unexpectedly nice day, things came up. It happens.

Have you been to a meet in your area? If not, you should set one up!

Good luck with the rest of your planning Miss Kettle! I’ve started reminding myself that as long as at the end of the day, the paper is signed and the Raccoons are officially married, it’s been everything it needs to be!
