Miss Turkey's Picture
Miss Turkey, Philadelphia Age and Occupation: 29, Brand Management Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Consultant Engagement Date: February 2011 Wedding Date: May 2012 Venue: The Rittenhouse Hotel About Me: I'm a marketer who loves a good glass of wine, anything pumpkin-flavored, every crime drama on TV and, of course, Mr. Turkey. It's funny to say out loud, but we're former coworkers turned betrothed---now planning a wedding in the city of Brotherly Love. For three years, we've been eating our way through Philadelphia, playing tourist at home, and cheering for every sports team in the 215. Although we've hit some unplanned snags along the way, we're determined to have a rocking party this spring with our loud, fun families and friends.

How Do You Do?

November 30th, 2011 @ 9:52 am by Miss Turkey

*waves hello*

Hi there! I can’t believe that I’m writing this post…it feels so surreal, and I am just so SO honored. In the course of a couple of hours, I went from emailing Mrs. Penguin about whether my auto response (you know, for rejection) had gone to my email doppleganger* to receiving an invitation to join the hive. WOW.

So, who are the Turkeys?

Celebrating Thanksgiving in Disney this past weekend—that’s as recent as you’re gonna get.

You’ll learn a lot about us over these next five-plus months, so I’ll keep it short. We’re (now resident) Philadelphians planning a black tie (optional) party in the City of Brotherly Love. We’re going fancy-pants because we clean up pretty nice!

All dressed up—not bad, eh?

Now, why Turkey, you ask?

1. We found out about the acceptance just before Thanksgiving (arguably our favorite holiday).

Photo from our first Thanksgiving (and holiday) spent together—more on that later.

2. Our favorite character on Splash Mountain is Br’er Turkey, and we had a chance to visit him this past weekend. (He survived another year.)

Now do you understand my post title?

3. We thought it was funny!

Despite keeping this brief, I suppose you learned a couple things about the Turkeys—we like Disney and…I like lists. A LOT. You’ve been warned.

So, thank you again for having us here, hive. So excited to share with you the details of the Turkey wedding—with all the twists and turns that have come along the way!

*Long story, but there’s someone out there who shares my name, and our email addresses are very similar. I know this because I often receive personal messages intended for her (awwwwwkward).

Welcome! And may I say that I think that you fiancé looks a bit like the actor Patrick Labyorteaux (who played Bud on J.A.G.)?

Welcome Miss Turkey! Buckle up! This is a fun ride!

BTW, I’m sad that there is absolutely no Hokie connection. I believe any future turkey characters must go to a Hokie. ;)

Wow, talk about coincidences, we were at Disney this past weekend too for Thanksgiving! Gotta love Splash Mountain, even if you do end up soaked.

I have an email doppelganger too! But I don’t think she’s ever gotten my mail. My email is first.last@gmail.com and anything that is sent to firstlast@gmail.com comes to me, too. Hers is firstMlast@gmail.com and a lot of people miss the middle initial. I’ve gotten acceptances/rejections for graduate programs meant for her, job interview requests, all kinds of things. I finally figured out who she was and now I forward anything that wasn’t meant for me. :)
