Just like a majority of people on this board, i've been lurking around at other people's PJ, TR, and random forums. I've gained so much help from this board alone. So now is the time for me to start our planning journal.
Our Story
We've been together for 6 years now. We first meet the summer after I graduated my sr year of high school. It was at the carnival, DF came to the carnival with my bestfriend's group of friends. I thought he was cute, and thought nothing of it. Then when I got to college, around November, my friend invited me to a youth group meeting, and my DF happened to be there. DF introduced himself again. I told him that I knew who he was and that we meet at the carnival, BUT he didnt remember me... sad huh? but that was the story of my life, nothing too new with that. Then I started spending more time with the youth group and going out with them to dinners and what not. DF brought me to my apartment after one of the many times we all went out to dinner. After that night we talked on the phone, went shopping, watched movies, you know did little things here and there, nothing to big i guess. But it wasn't until an formal dance that brought us together jan. We've been together ever since.
The Proposal
So for this it was on Sept 10, 2006. We were in california for our second southern california trip. We were there with my brother, sister, sister's boyfriend, cousin, bestfriend, and bestfriend's now exboyfriend. We were in Disneyland, taking a break from riding all the rides. So we all thought it would be the best time to take our pictures in front of the castle. My bestfriend and her now exboyfriend took their pictures, and then my DF and I headed up to take our pictures. My brother took the picture, I was about to start walking away, when he grabbed my hand and i turned to look to see him knee on the ground with a ring box in his other hand. I honestly dont remember what was said i was so in shock, but i can say i remember crying, and shaking my head yes. he put the ring on my finger. but i do remember him saying right after we kissed, "So this does mean yes right?" I guess i never actually said the words yes, but i swear i did. i turned to look at everyone with us, and i remember saying "YOU GUYS ALL KNEW?!?" i mean my bestfriend and i have been planning this trip for so long, i thought i knew everything that was going to happen on this vacation. well anyways, we hugged everyone we were with and made all the phone calls to parents and everyone. it was a truely magical day at disneyland ^_^
Well i just received our Room Block, Value Season - Contract Information - Website Design - Guest List Information. So the ball is rolling. It took us a long time to decide on a date and location, due to us wanting to please our families, it was hard for us to finally choose anything. So my DF and i finally got to the point where we just needed to follow what we know we wanted for our wedding. So we made the call to the disney wedding planners. However since getting engaged i did get my dress, my girls have their dress, and with the help of this board, i've got so many great ideas and have moved along with planning little details.
I would post picture, but i dont know how... what website are you guys loading your pictures on to post up here?
Ceremony: EPCOT - Japan at 9 am
Reception: Atlantic Dance Hall 10am to 2pm (is this time slot long enough?)
