Knot Name: Codi-Bailey
Wedding Date: To be determined, but we're hoping for spring/fall 2010.
Knot Annie: Tell me about the Knotties on your board that you post on. Have you ever joined them for a GTG?
Codi-Bailey: I mainly post on the Getting in Shape board, and all of the Knotties that board are wonderful. Everyone is so supportive of each other and is very willing to help other Knotties meet their goals. I’ve met one fellow Knottie when I made a trip out to Massachusetts for a friend's wedding.
KA: Describe your wedding.
Codi-Bailey: My fiance and I have always talked about getting married on the beach, but since we live in a landlocked state, that may be a little difficult. However, we decided that this is important to us, so we're going to have a destination wedding. We want something simple yet beautiful. The ceremony will be held on a beach near a lighthouse, and we’ll have our reception at a nearby reception hall or something similar.
KA: How have the Knotties on your board helped you plan?
Codi-Bailey: Since the GIS board is mainly to talk about fitness, I haven't really spoken to them too much about my wedding. However, I get a lot of ideas and tips from P&E. They’re very helpful, and if it weren't for them, I’d be pretty much clueless about a lot of this wedding planning. I’ve also become fairly close with the Knottie I was able to meet in person, and we talk pretty much all day every day while "working" via instant messaging. We help each other out and give each other ideas and opinions about all aspects of our weddings.
KA: Favorite bio on The Knot and why?
Codi-Bailey: My favorite bio on The Knot is probably Sarah and Steve's. I love how many pictures she added and all of the descriptions that she gave. It's actually her bio that really let me see how the plum color would look on a beach, and I absolutely loved it. I’ll be using that color for one of my wedding colors.
KA: Best vendor that you’ve worked with and why?
Codi-Bailey: The best vendor that I’ve worked with so far is Amanda's Bridal. They’ve been so helpful to me and have put up with me coming in to try on multiple dresses, multiple times. All of the staff there is so friendly and very eager to help in any way possible.
KA: What will make your wedding stand out to your guests, and where did you find the inspiration?
Codi-Bailey: Our wedding is going to stand out merely because of the location. All of my family and my fiance's family live in states where the ocean isn't very accessible. Everyone will be able to enjoy a beautiful beach ceremony as well as a few extra days being beach bums. Our inspiration came just from knowing what we want. My fiance went to college in a beach town and absolutely loved it, and I’ve always thought a beach wedding would be a lot of fun.
KA: What are you looking forward to most on your wedding day?
Codi-Bailey: I’m most looking forward to seeing my fiance waiting for me to meet him to become husband and wife. We’ve been waiting for this for so long, and I truly can’t wait for this to happen.
