So here it goes! I, like many others, have been a long time lurker and feel I am finally ready to start my PJ! Been planning for quite some time now and I think I have quite a bit done so far!

I am new to this blogging thing all together so bear with me! But hopefully this will help me stay sane through the planning process!

So my planner emailed me today! She is working on my Loa and will have it to me this week! Just got excited! Been a super busy few days! Will be posting pics and stuff tomorrow!
 
OK So now that I have a day off to catch up on what I started! :goodvibes:

My name is Bryttany and DF is Dave. Both grew up in Northern Virginia, just outside DC. I am 26 and he is 30. I was born in Pennsylvania outside of Pittsburgh in a tiny little country valley. Moved when I was 12 to VA. Dave has been in VA all his life.

My folks have made the disney vacation a tradition every year in february since I was 6! Talk about obsessed! I always dreamed of being married there when my Prince would someday come! I did do a few seasonal summer internships at Disney my junior and senior summers of high school. That was when I first witnessed a Disney wedding! I was hooked and determined since then!

Well my Prince finally did come! He'll laugh and tell you that yes on our first date I dropped that I wanted to get married at Disney World! :princess:

We met about 2 years ago and instantly fell in love and knew that this was it. We had been together for just shy of a year when Dave organized a big group dinner with friends. This was pretty normal as my group of friends already knew each other. We were going to Osaka, a Japanese hibachi grill and sushi house. Dave and I also had gone to this same restaurant for our first dinner date :idea:

Apparently everyone else knew this was going to happen but me. Now I would have remembered the camera but DF did not... :laughing:

We all ordered sushi and dinner and were enjoying and chatting and laughing and while we were thinking of ordering dessert, Dave stands up and awkwardly announces his need to use the restroom..... :confused3 I naturally was like "ok- go ahead. No need for publication..." and I kept talking with my girls! You know that feeling when someone is still standing behind you....??? Yeah! Only I turn around to watch him lower down to one knee! He said a few sweet things, all of which are a blur! And I said yes! He picked out exactly what I wanted, a yellow gold solitaire!

Ok so since I am in VA, my mom lives in Florida about an hour from Disney, I made her go over to a DFTW Open House at Francks back in march right after I got engaged! She was able to meet a wedding planner and actually get her info and a planning packet a few months before my 16-18 month period where I couldnt even talk to anyone. Sneaky I know! :rolleyes1:
So once a little closer we were able to have her pencil us in! I knew what I wanted and since DF has never been to Disney- CRAZY, I know- He trusted my decisions after showing him every picture imaginable online. I wanted the Wedding Pavilion and the ballroom space at Yacht/Beach club. With shades of blues and white/silver as my colors!

my photobucket page is being stupid... pics to come later!
 
I'm so excited you are having a Yacht Club wedding :goodvibes
YC holds a special place in my heart--it was the first place we stayed on my first Disney trip!!! :earsboy:
 
So now that photobucket is done being stupid! Us, The wedding pavilion & Beach Club resort! :hug:

OK.... so I have said before I am in VA outside DC and my mom is all the way down south near Disney... she was up visiting in April/May-ish for a routine visit. Her first time seeing the ring in person (not a crappy pic not doing the diamond justice!). We had made plans to go look at dresses. Would be my first time. My two best friends had just gotten married in the last 5 months so I was reluctant to be back in a bridal salon sooo quickly! But my mom isnt up here much and I wanted her to be able to enjoy that first trip so that in hopes when I went back later with my girlfriends and actually found one- neither of us would feel guilty. So with no intent of finding the dress 1 year and 8 months out from the not even pencilled in wedding date..... We find a dress. Of course. :) It is perfect. It was from davids bridal. I had my mom, a family friend, her two daughters who are like 14 and 12 who I have grown up with like little sisters, and my best friend and future mother in law. Yes, too many people! haha!
So I tried on one style that was ok. Then the second dress was awesome! it was a long chiffony hides all the bad spots feel good dress. Then I tried on only a thousand more. I had liked the idea of a ball gown- um hi disney wedding... slight princess moment- but I am short waisted and they were all somewhat of train wrecks on me. out of like 15 dresses only one was really good but not worth buying yet. then my mother asks me to try one on that she saw on a mannequin, another ball gown style. I didnt think it came in pluz sizes as with my ****s and butt I am right over the XL to the 1X hump... :rotfl: Sure enough it does and sure enough they have a sample in my size..... I try it on. Perfect. I twirled around. I felt like Cinderella! My rock hard, emotionless mother cried! It was perfect. I said "yes to the dress"!!!!
