I wanted to take a moment to post here some pictures of the stuff we've been working on. We leave in the morning for wdw. I really wanted to do a PJ all along, throughout the planning..but things got all kinds of crazy and I just didn't have the time or energy to do it. I've been very happy reading everyone else's and I am glad the mods are letting us have them.
On with the show!
Five years ago on 12/17 we got engaged in the Rose Garden @ MK, right before fireworks, back when DFTW still did engagements. It's been a long crazy five years, but we're finally getting hitched! Our wedding is on Sunday (12/17/06) at the wedding pavilion. We are having the reception at the California Grill in the room that faces MK. On saturday night we are having a rehearsal dinner at Ohana and then a Fireworks dessert party at the French Terrace. We are also going to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Friday night 12/15 with my family and a few friends.
We are having about 35 guests. We started out with about 50 invited. Most of our friends and family are in MD, NY, and NJ. It's a week before Christmas and in FL so most folks would have to travel.
We started planning in January. We had a few bumps along the way. We had the wedding planner from hell.. who said no to everything we asked for. We were reassigned to Tim Blunk in September, who quit DFTW a month later. We didn't hear anything from DFTW for a month, and in November we got our current planner ... who is incredibly wonderful and is making just about everything we asked for happen. I guess third time's a charm!
