Hello All!
I've been reading these since we decided to have a wedding at Disney in January! But now that I have been switching pretty much everything, I thought I could make a planning journal to not only watch the progress for myself, but get suggestions from you guys!
A little about us-- My name is Avery, I'm 25 and live in Winnipeg, MB. My DF's name is Andy (obviously by the title of the thread ha-ha), he's 25 and lives in Grand Forks, ND. So not only are we planning a big dream wedding, we are also dealing with immigration which is more stressful than the wedding!! My dad married a woman who is American and Andy is my stepbrother's best friend! He introduced us about 3 years ago and we started dating about 2 years ago.
Here we are at a jazz festival!
Me, Andy and my brother...very serious, as you can tell
There was no real big proposal. I knew I wanted to marry him very shortly after we started dating and I would always joke around saying "Baby, let's get married" and he would make some silly joke. Well one night, his answer was "yes, yes we should" and it proceeded from there. It was just perfect, on the couch at his place, very low key and beautiful. And the best Sunday night ever! With the best rock ever...can't quite find a picture that does it justice so here's the picture from the Kay website...
So with the fiancée visa that I am coming down to the states with, we were required to have our wedding there. So we started looking at different places we could do it, never ever imagining that Disney would be an option! But once we started really pricing things out, it made sense to spend the extra money and have our dream wedding! The cutest thing about Andy is he's this big scruffy man and yet you go to his house and he has every Disney movie ever made. So it wasn't too hard to come to the decision!
We originally booked the wedding for January 29th, 2011. We had a planner, locations, custom menu, everything. And then, we scrapped it all! We decided for financial reasons to push the wedding back a bit to March 26, 2011. Thankfully, we had one shot to postpone the wedding and Disney has been so good about it! Kristi, my coordinator, laughed at me that I had such a good time planning the first one, I had to do it a second time. It's kinda true though. I had booked everything and then found this site and the passporter's book and was extremely frustrated because I felt that my money could be maximized so much more and so here we go again........
