A little about me and my Prince Charming:
I am 25 (just turned 26 yesterday) :cake: and currently am teaching English at a local high school. I have always dreamed of a Disney Wedding, you could say I have had it planned for years, just needed the right guy to put in the spot... :o)
My Charming is 28 (will be 29 in March) and is working at a local call center here in Tampa, Florida. Before meeting my DF had only been to Disney once, and actually was not a big fan of the whole Eisner industry. But through my persistent nagging and our many trips, you could say I molded him into the ways of Disney.
We are both huge theme park people, of course living in Florida, you almost have to be. With Busch Gardens up the street, and Disney, SeaWorld and Universal about a 45 minute drive away – one could say a destination wedding the only choice for me.

How we met:
It all began when I was in high school. My DF is was/still is in a local band that used to play a lot at the church I attended. You could say I was a groupie. Hehehe!!! I followed the band religiously all through my high school years (DF is 3 years old then I am.) Once I hit college I lost touch with the band and forgot all about my Prince Charming. We both had our ups and downs in relationships and then about 2 years ago the Lord had our paths cross again.
Forced by a friend to attend a new local youth/young adult group at his church, I finally gave in and thank goodness I did. When I arrived I saw my DF’s brother and started hanging out with him and his friends and ultimately going to a party at his house. Well I let slip that I always have had a crush on my DF and the moment I said that – wheels were put into actions and next thing I knew, my DF showed at the party with the Silverchair live DVD (have also liked this band – fate.) I like to say that from that night I knew we were supposed be together. Although we had not had our first date, so we made plans for the next day to go to Busch Gardens since both of us had seasonal passes (again another perk of living in Florida.)
The next morning he showed up at my door and we headed off to Busch. We were not even there an hour when he received a phone call and had to rush off to pick up his friend (our videographer for the wedding) from the airport. I was crushed. Only getting to spend and hour with him – I just thought it was over and I was not going to get another chance.
Well fate smiled on me and him that night, because low and behold my DF’s brother threw another party and again I was invited and my DF was there. We got to spend the night talking and getting to know one another and were inseparable from that moment. The rest you can say is history.

The dress pics are beautiful..... they will look amazing with the flower colors you have chosen. congrats on HM booking too.
 
Congrats on your engagement and upcoming wedding! You look absolutely beautiful in your dress! It is so pretty!! That sounds like a great honeymoon!
 
Wow, that dress is perfect for you!!! Absolutely gorgeous. Congrats on all you have already gotten accomplished! :thumbsup2
 
I was looking at another thread, and you said you were going to have a candy bar. I am a HUGE candy fan (and I have the dental bills to prove it). Are you providing your own, or are you going through Disney Floral?
 
Good Evening..

We were going to buy our own candy -- but after our site visit last weekend, I was told that Disney Florist could provide the candy and that they totally do it up, Disney style of course... :goodvibes

She told me that they just did one that was pirate themed, and they had the chests and everything.....

I think after I get the BEO I will see how much Disney is charging for something like this and make my decision after that..

My finace and I love candy also (DF has had 5 root canals to prove it..) and we are not real big drinkers so we decided a Candy Bar instead of a real Bar.. :lmao:

Also one more thing DFTW told us -- they can stage the candy so that it is a presentation towards the end of the Reception since we are also using this as our favors along with some really yummy cookies from a bakery where my DF grew up.... Or they said you can just set it up and let people munch throughout the night... (I think this depends on your location.... We are in the Grand Floridian Ballrooms, so we inside I would think this option would not be available for outdoor locations....)

Hope this helps....


*** 1 month and 13 days tilll we sign the contract...) :cool1: :cool1: :banana:
 
Gorgeous Dress!!!Love it!!!!! Can't wait to read more of your plans!! I love Dec weddings!!
 
Well....

It is time to add what has been happening lately in the planning area....


** Randy Chapman is booked :cool1: **

** Went for the site visit and was totally taken away -- I can't wait to sign the contract **

** Got email quote today from Shelly from Impressions **

** Spoke with Kristi Davis today and confirmed that we have more room then I thought -- I have been stressed with the 90 people maximum === now we are at a 150 people maximum **

I do a have questions for you wonderfully talented ladies..

Question one.. We are struggling with table names... Our theme is Castles (Sleeping Beauty Castle in on our Invite.. -- key is it can not be Characters -- DF wants NO Characters).

Question two: Does anyone know the exact price of the Wedding Discount for Hotels and Tickets in Dec.-- family and friends have been asking and not sure what to tell them.. We have chosen Value (ALL STAR MUSIC), Moderate (POFrenchQuarter) and Deluxe (GRAND FLORIDIAN)

and last Question
My aunt is coming down from new york to florida in May for my sister's high school graduation and she also wants to help celebrate in the wedding fun -- she orginally wanted a bridal shower but we talked her into an engagment party -- since I am not getting married till dec and we thought bridal shower was too early.. ! My question is what is an engagement party and what takes place, who do we invite, what kind of food, and what kind of entertainment is offered?

** Things left to accomplish **
* In two weeks meet with Kristi to sign the contract and Disney save the dates...
* Find someone to do hair
* Plan a Engagement Party

Thanks for listening to me.. have a wonderful week! :cheer2:
