Hi everyone!!
I am a long time lurker on these boards and occasional poster. However, now that DF and I are in full wedding planning mode, I am super excited to start a planning journal as we lead up to the big day!
First I would like to share the story of how DF and I first met and came to the decision to have a DFTW.
Once Upon A Time
My fiancé, Matthew and I first met in college back in 2007. Matt was a senior at the time, and I was a freshman. We instantly became really good friends, and we were practically inseparable after that.
We started dating on February 25th, 2008. Matt initially wanted to ask me out earlier that week, but he held off for various reasons My birthday is on February 23rd, and one of my closest cousins and her boyfriend celebrate their anniversary on the 24th. So, Matt waited until midnight on the 25th to ask me to go steady with him. (Thats right..That is how he asked me.) He wanted us to have our own special day to celebrate.
While I was finishing school, Matthew remained in our college town working a full time job so we could be together. (He is originally from St. Louis.) Upon graduation in 2010, Matt and I moved into an apartment just outside of Chicago, where I am from. Matt and I, plus our dog Mowgli have been living here ever since!
Our Engagment & Wedding Plans
On April 25th, 2011 (at midnight), Matthew proposed!! He asked me to marry him just like how he asked me to go steady with him.
We will be getting married on February 25, 2013, which will mark our 5 year anniversary together. Matt and I LOVE Disney...me more so than him. And we couldnt think of a better place to bring both of our families together than the happiest place on earth, Walt Disney World!
A photo of Matt and I during our engagement party that Matt's parents threw for us.

This is Mowgli, our two year old Catahoula/Labrador mix. We adopted Mowgli from a local humane society. We always knew we wanted our very first dog to be a rescue. Plus, Mowgli and Matt share the same birthday; so we knew it was fate!
Next up, more details about our wedding plans and what we have completed so far!
