  1. I lived in TX for a little while...maybe it rubbed off on me. BettyAnn Getting married? Check out my website!
  2. Hmm...no wonder I haven't seen you at the DZ lately! There are a few others I post on. Some work related, a knife forum, a gun forum...you know, fun stuff!
  3. I just got my butt in the air again Sunday after about 8 months of working two jobs and barely even seeing the DZ. Got my recurrency training from Glen Bangs (Who better to do it?!) and it took about a half hour of going over gear, procedure, malfunctions, etc. Had I scheduled it through manifest I would have had to pay. I got lucky that Glen happened to be there while I was whining about getting current again and said he had time and would do it right then.
  4. Actually Steve is THE person to talk to about RW jumps here at CK. You know those old guys...nothing better to do all day than sit at the DZ. Really though, he's a great guy to jump with I turn 30 in a few days so I guess this will be my b'day weekend. I'll probably stop by even if the weather isn't jumpable, just to hang out and drown my twenties. And if that doesn't happen I always have next weekend...there's gotta be something good about having a b'day mid week! There are always people at CK and I don't know about other DZs but here you don't need to know anyone. Its a great place and no doubt you'll have a blast. BettyAnn Getting married?

  5. Hey! It was great seeing all of you again and meeting you Amanda & Jason! Maybe next time we can jump together. Wait...are we allowed to actually jump during a CK boogie?? I guess it does occasionally happen! Great pics Chris! Looks like you guys kinds had some fun! Big mistake not coming out Skolls! Crappy weather just means that the party starts early! You better get your butt out for Memorial Day weekend if not sooner! Oh and Liz...if you had started that "preference" thread before this weekend...there's no way I would have had the guts to wear that outfit!! BettyAnn Getting married? Check out my website!
  6. Hey Dave...you mean one of these? I love my HAK and its on me all the time. I can go one better than a neck knife that swings around though...I keep this baby "close to my heart" its clipped to my bra. Always right where I want it and it gets used for everything. Its made to fit your hand and they make really small sizes too. They actually already had a bunch in my size ready to go and I have some SMALL fingers. (Ring finger isn't even a 5) Good one for Morgan to have on her too! This is the Hybrid model there are others to choose from like the straight that are pretty simple to keep sharpened.

  7. Hey, did you ever find one of these? I bought a few of them as gifts and ended up with a couple extras. I have them listed on Ebay right now. One is grey-blue & navy and the other is black & white. The black & white one even has a matching scarf. I have a navy & white set and people ask me about them all the time. BettyAnn Getting married?

  8. Thank you everyone! Dave - The movies were great and gave me a few ideas, thanks! Jim - If you do weddings for free, as I started out doing, that's great but I'm assuming you have other sources of income. (It sounds like you only marry skydivers anyway) This is my job/business first and a fun service I can do for skydivers second. I'm sure the guy who runs our loft does a few reserves as favors but even he charges for his services. As do the video guys, coaches and so on. I don't have much info about my skydiving services on my site at all. It simply says that it is something that I offer. It also says to contact me for any services other than those listed. I'm at Cross Keys and pretty much any skydiver who knows me here knows that its free (they cover my slot) but for any other weddings, this is my business. Hence the skydivers are just paying for my jump but couples who contact me through my business will be paying for my services. All I asked for was a few tips to help create a great ceremony for a couple of friends…I didn’t realize I would get the added bonus of having both myself and my business insulted. Thank you for the tips but please try not to be so quick to judge. Tami - Thanks for all of the info & Great Photo! I'll keep the attire tips in mind. If they decide to get something special made I know Bev made suits for some friends a while back and she's local so that's always an option. Mike & Carolyn I'll probably do something the way you guys did, (Start/jump/finish) if that works for the bride & groom of course! BettyAnn Getting married? Check out my website!
  9. Thanks for so much info, that helps a LOT! You've actually answered most of my concerns. (plane noise, nervous jitters) Oh and CONGRATULATIONS!!! BettyAnn Getting married? Check out my website!
  10. Have you ever seen or been in one? I need details! I'm marrying a couple this spring (licensed skydivers) and just had another couple ask me. (First time & doing tandems) Ceremony on the ground before? In the plane? In the air? Any suggestions?? Its not really a "do again" thing so I don't want to be thinking, "Hmm...maybe this will work."

  11. Suit yourself. If I wasn't stuck on Philly working I'd be there! BettyAnn Getting married? Check out my website!

  13. I just married a couple this weekend. She's 32, he's 63. They were one of the happiest couples I've seen yet! Go for it! At bare minimum, have fun while it lasts! If it doesn't work, its not because of age, its because of maturity or skydiving or money or a million other things. Age doesn't mean a thing. BettyAnn Getting married? Check out my website!
