I know.
Hi there!! I saw your PJ appear right before we left and now I finally have caught up! I can't get over how many things I've read that have made me go "OH MY GOD, you're me!!" I also discovered this side of the boards ages and ages ago (while also dating a less-than-charming ex ) so it's so funny to me to see other people who came across DFTW the same way - and CP alums to boot! Your engagement story is so cute and I know exactly what you mean - when the right one falls into your life you just know it, instantly
I caught up through your chapter links and I didn't read the mid-bits, so I'm sorry if someone already said this but you won't need any legal documentation with the state of Florida for a ULC minister. We ordained my brother that way for our ceremony and it was fine!
You look stunning in your dress. I know people say this all the time but it really is crazy how different you look in YOUR dress vs the other dress pictures - you seriously light up and it just seems meant to be. I remember that dress from when I was hunting - that was one of my top 3! It's gorgeous.
CONGRATS on returning to Disney!!! I'm confident you guys will handle the 4 months no problem, especially if DF visits in between. Again I'm sorry if I missed it in a reply or something, but where did you work before?
I'm really going to enjoy following your planning
Hi! I've been following along on your TR, so thanks for reading! It is funny how often people have that feeling of "Wow, we're very similar". I have that sometimes reading other people's posts That's good to know about the documentation. I didn't think we would need any, but I wasn't entirely sure. In all honesty, I saw the sneak peek of your wedding video and it's pretty much the only thing that's making me reconsider my "I'm too cheap to pay for a videographer, it's not really necessary" stance Seeing your brother get so emotional during your ceremony was wonderful. And thank you I really love that dress. I hope it comes in before I have to leave for Orlando so I can try it on again. They'd said it should be in by late March, so... Hopefully? I totally agree, though. It's bizarre how it goes from "girl in pretty, possibly poofy, dress" to "omg I'm getting married" just because of the dress. Thanks for the congrats, as well! I so can't wait. I've been dying to go back since the day I left. I did the program twice, Boardwalk housekeeping in 2004 and MK custodial in 2008. I stayed on seasonal after the second one, living in Orlando, but the economy tanked and I got super sick and... Yeah. One point too many and wound up back in Chicago. I found out today that I could get my work location assignment from career services at my school, since I haven't paid my program fee yet, so I went to ask. I'm going to be somewhere at the Polynesian this time around. The only other pastry student at my school who got in this time around is going to be in a production kitchen at Epcot. DF and I are both a little worried about the 4 months apart, but we'll make it work. There's Skype and webcams and he's thinking about replacing his (absolutely awful) Android with a used iPhone so we can facetime. We're hoping he'll be able to visit sometime in June, but it really depends on finances and all that. I'd really like for him to come down because, aside from just missing the heck out of him, I'm going to be looking for apartments once I get down there and will want to show any potentials to him. There's one I quite like the sound of that's in Kissimmee, so I want to see it in person. But, yeah, we'll figure it out. We're in this for the long haul Thanks for reading!
Awwww, you are so so sweet it makes me so happy to know people are reading.
I wanted videography because for some reason I've been super forgetful as of late, and my short term memory is so scatterbrained I just knew from day one I'd want it. That, and I'm a home video junkie! I have heard that not getting video is at the top of many brides Wish I Did lists, and there are a lot of very affordable videographers in the area (like STVS or PD Videography) so I hope you can swing it
I did my program in Tomorrowland Attractions in 2011, so we definitely missed each other. When I did the program we had only been dating for 8 months, but DH had an annual pass so that made things a little easier for the first couple months. I had a droid at the time so we really liked the HeyTell app for voice texting (you don't realize how 10 seconds of your SO saying 'how's your day going' instead of just texting it lifts your day until it happens) but this was 2011 of course, and phones have changed so much since then.
I'm sorry I've been such a slacker! Just so much busy! I just caught up!
BEAUTIFUL DRESS!!!
And, especially--congrats on the internship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like you had a nice Thanksgiving and have your travel plans set for FL.
Happy Thanksgiving.
If I were you, I'd look for a tree branch with lots of arms. You could paint it silver and hang your ornaments off it. That way, you have a tree that you don't mind getting rid of after Christmas and you don't have to spend a fortune on it. We had something similar when I was a child and it worked really well. I remember putting some cotton wool on it to make it look like snow.
Yay Eddie Izzard and Jurassic Park theme!
I'm assuming you've heard this version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-f9bpMpddA I'm definitely considering it for my wedding..
or maybe this one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w-58hQ9dLk
(I just got engaged last week but am a huge Disnerd and have been daydreaming about Disney weddings for years)
Anyways, just wanted to say hellooo and you seem cool and that I'm subscribing to your thread!

Just got all caught up! I am super excited to follow along. We aren't wedding twins but I think we could be wedding sisters. I am getting married at EPCOT Germany on 10-26-15, so we are only a year apart! Maybe you will be decorating cakes by then and get to work on ours. I am super jealous that you are going to work for Disney, that sounds awesome. Out of curiosity we were thinking of giving the wedding planner paint swatches to pass on to the bakery for the cake colors. Does that seem reasonable to get the colors across to them or is there a better way? I can't wait to read more!
OMG! You took a picture of those Christmas decorations! Cool.
Love your tree. It looks perfect....for now. I have no doubt that you will be collecting many many more Disney decorations in the future.
Merry Christmas!
(And I hope the meeting of the parents goes well.)
