jw 4 au 526 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 45 Male ‘95 grad in Civil Engineering (walked with Bo Jackson!!!) Fayetteville, GA Born and raised an Auburn Tiger, 3rd generation AU alum, married an AU Grad, hope at least one of my kids can go to Auburn but with the Hope Scholarship and possibly Zell Miller, something in Georgia is hard to pass up. Really struggling to stomach this national championship game. Those of us that live here in Georgia will understand, but I may, and I stress may, pull for bama for the first time ever in my entire life!!!

I gave up and started a new account over there after months of getting nowhere with tech support, but really don't care to expend the effort to post on two boards. After something like 18 years on that site, guess I am all but done. I like the posters here better, just wish there was a little more activity.

I preferred a small college atmosphere. It worked well for me. I met my wife there, helped work in the Casting dept. when Big Fish filmed there, got a trip to London through the school where I proposed to my wife at Stonehenge, and got to see several "Broadway" productions in London. My dad is a 1981 alumnus from Auburn in Aerospace Engineering. That is where my love for Auburn originated. First game was against Akron in 89 or 90. Stonehenge! AUB!! That's AUsome! Here is the most ridiculous thing...we have been blessed, I do mean BLESSED, to visit England four times. On time #4, I was bound and determined to see Stonehenge, never managed yet. Lots of tourist sights closed due to "foot and mouth" outbreak around 2001....long time ago. We were trying to outrace the sunset covering country territory swiftly from Glastonbury, when I saw the sign for Stonehenge and freaked out because I couldn't see IT! Where was it! I gazed for miles out the right side of the car...alas, it was just across the road on the left. IDIOT! We laughed all the way home. The Big Fish set is in our backyard. Some happy little goats interrupted a nice romantic evening picnic a few months ago, as they live in the "chapel" where we had spread out blanket. Small world!!

ToraGirl 5,498 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 51...Born at 8:20 on 8/20...Nashville, TN before Daddy was hired at Auburn. "Ovviously" female (huge fan of "Esqueleto"--Nacho Libre) Grew up in Auburn, daughter of prof dad and Auburn High biology teacher mom. Wanted to attend college anywhere BUT Auburn...BUT... AU class of 1988, Magna grace of God...AUM, class of 1998 Masters, Summa, more grace of God. Met husband at the Wesley Foundation, married at home church Auburn United Methodist in 1989, and have been happily loving and serving wherever possible together and with our two children (now 18 and 21) since. Formerly taught K in Elmore County...now 2nd in Pike Road. I have a passion for multicultural kids and travel, and lead worship where my husband pastors...our planted church turns 12 on September 17 this year. (www.welcometowellspring.com) Love this board, in all its craziness. You guys...and girls...are wonderful. And to paraphrase Psalm 84, better is one day in the house of AUBURN than 1,000 elsewhere!

Being with a school trip, we were allowed in the inner circle. They don't allow a lot of visitors to that section to preserve the grass etc. Once the guide realized we just got engaged, we took a picture on the marriage stone within the inner circle. Pretty cool how it all turned out. For those looking to propose soon, I would recommend letting the person know about it before asking to take a pic. He was too busy getting his girlfriend attention, we had to re-enact the proposal. Lol Our tour guide gave us our first wedding present. A chopping board. We have it still wrapped and hanging in our kitchen today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the reasons they used Huntingdon instead of Auburn: small college with less people giving them better control of the scenes, Auburn has gotten a lot bigger than the film setting, and everything else was being filmed in the same general area of Montgomery. Another fun fact: the scene with all the flowers actually is a lot smaller than it looks. They filmed one direction, cut, then moved the flowers into the shot from the other direction. Pretty cool.
