Hey everyone so now that I kind of know what Im doing with this thing I thought I would start a PJ! YAY!!I guess Ill start with our engagement

Well, Brian told me we were going to disney for a few days and I was all "why?" I know Im going to disney why would I ask that, but we are both college students who have no money! So I was like how can we afford to go to disney for 5 days!!! He kept saying dont worry. Now Im a planner so I was like where do you want to eat on this night and blah blah blah and he told me to stop planning bc he had it all under control! He said Thursday was a big suprise!! So about 2 weeks went by and we are finally on our way to disney on Oct. 30 2008. We check in to Pop, and hes like what park should we go to i was all EPCOT! fireworks! But no we couldnt go there he says. He took me to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party! Which was awsome! I had never been to it!!! So we went and had a great time! We went back to the hotel went to sleep and got up went to the park friday and saturday. Now Saturday I knew we were having dinner at Le'Cellier, my absoloute favorite restaurant in Disney!!!! So yummy! Well, after he was like what do you want to do I was like lets go to MK and gets some fudge, not that I didnt have enough candy from THursday at MNSSHP! But he was like well we have to go somewhere at six, I was like uh why? As he is dragging me through epcot through the international gateway, im screaming where are we going, and all I hear is " SHUT UP DANIELLE JUST FOLLOW!" Im like uh ok, well we get to sea breeze point and Brian goes up to this random girl with a camera and hes like Hi Im Brian, and im just like what is going on, Shes like im from photo pass were just taking a few pics im like no your not, and she proceeds to tell me that " Photopass is taking over the world" I cracked up laughing and the next thing I knew Brians family was walking towards me when they were supposed to be visiting Brians brother at Flagler college in St. Augustine! O yeah thats not all, My family, mom,dad,brother and grandma were there too! I was flipping out! The next thing I knew Brian was on his knee and said "will you marry me" I was freaking out for about 5 min. Poor guy I left him on his knee so long! But I said YES!!! But after the photographer walked around with us and took a bunch of pictures! It was beautiful and I cried for like an hour! Sometimes I still cant believe it! It was perfect!!!

Now we are planning out disney wedding! We are hoping for Dec. 18, 2010! Its a really special day for me because it will also be my brothers 18th bday! We are going to have aprox. 150 people! I know! HUGE!!! So far my wedding consultant is Dianne Malloney, I think thats how you spell it. I cant really dont anything till next year so Im just trying to wait patiently, any advice for someone who is so anxious. My mom and I did order some sample stuff to do for place card holders. Does Disney print out the place cards for you?

Also, Im planning on using Randy Chapman photography, Im not sure about videography yet. Any suggestions? :love:
 
Hi :welcome: and Congratulations. Really like your engagement story, really sweet of your DF to organise that, you're really lucky! You'll get loads of advice and tips from here.

To answer your questions, no I don't think Disney does print out place cards for you, but there's plenty of people who can, I'm sure some one will be able to recommened someone. AS for a videographer, I'm not having one but I believe Randy and someoen (I can't remember his name) do a package and you get a discount for using both. There is info on Randy' website :thumbsup2
 
STVS, yeah I had gotten a really weird vibe from him when I spoketo him. He wasn't the nicest. :confused: It made me so sad. I want to have good quaility and my DF is all about Raw Footage! O well!
 
welcome and congrats on beginning your PJ. Looking forward to hearing more of your plans.....:goodvibes
 

Alright so now that I am almost at the year mark I figure I should really get back into this. Although, Im still not totally sure how to use this thing. Well Im pretty sure I found my dress! It is beautiful! I actually found it on a trip to NJ to try on my bridesmaids dress for my cousins wedding. So when I came home to FL there were no stores that carried my dress, but I FINALLY found one!!! Its in Orlando go figure!!! I am going there this weekend for the EPCOT food and wine festival and to celebrate our 1 year annivarsary of being engaged, with friends! It is going to be so much fun. So two of my bridesmaids, who havent seen the dress, are going to go with me to try it on one more time to make sure Im making the right decision. I am just so excited. I am also really excited to find out that Disney lowered the min. for 2010!! Things are getting ready to start rolling and I am so ready to get it going! Hope all is well with everyone!!

Disney lowered minimums for 2010? Is this really true?!
 
For Wishes minimums, they eliminated all the different seasons for 2010. Now the prices are the same no matter what time of year it is and only determined by day of the week.

The new minimums are all based on the lowest of the 2009 season-specific pricing, so certain dates, like Saturdays in October, actually went down.

I checked out my Passporter's Guide this morning and saw that. I was reaaaally hoping it meant that Mon-Thur went down to 10k! But alas, it's still 12k. :(
 
Congrats on your December 2010 wedding. I can't wait to read about all of your plans.
 
Hey everyone!

So since the holiday season is rolling around my mom and I thought a nice trip to Michaels would be fun! We went to michaels with a 20% off coupon and had so much fun! I will post pictures eventually(I just have to figure out how to do that :) ) I bought so much stuff, I have been making doorhangers which came out absoloutly fantastic! Plus I started buying little things for the welcome bags, some of the kids, and my flowergirls! I bought these adorable holiday candles for 99 cents each. Then bought everything for the doorhangers. I bought about 30 everything. I am inviting approx. 160 people, so I am hoping that will be enough. I figure for a disney wedding there will be more than 10% that dont show up.

I just wanted to give a little heads up on what was going on.

I am also thinking of using Al from Al Dee Productions fpr a dj. Has anyone heard of him?

hope everyone is well!!
 
Hey everyone,

So today I recieved my tentative hold email today :). As of now there are no other "conflicts" on the day of our choice. We have the Wedding pavillion from 4:30-6 , the white hall patio and room from 6-7 and then reception from 7-11. I am really getting excited. I was told that they can not give my ceremony time away the only thing that could change is where the reception will be held bc of the convention centers. My thing is who books a convention only a year in advance or shorter! People who have conventions plan them years and years in advance! But o well! Thats the rules!!! Well I hope everyone has a happy Holiday!!!
 
Congrats on getting your ceremony! You're halfway there now. I know the reception thing is really frustrating, but don't worry it normally works out. Plus there are so many rooms there that they are bound to have something for you. We just got confirmation for our reception locations in the GF, so I know it seems like forever away but it'll be here before you know it.
 
So a few weeks ago I got an email from Diane( our WC) she has been the most wonderful thing so far! She has helped us out so much! Some how some way she got Disney to let us book at the 1 year mark for the Grand Floridian! I was floored I couldnt believe it!!! I started flipping out and my parents were like "NO MY CHECK BOOK" but things are getting really excited!! So Diane sent me the contract and I mailed it back a few days later! I was just getting so excited! So today, I was studying for a quiz in my parents office trying to stay quiet and I got a "Hello Danielle" Yes... " This is Maxine, I will be your planner" OMG!!!!!!!!! I couldnt believe she was telling me she was my wedding planner! Never in my wildest dreams would I ever think I would say I have a wedding planner!! I called my fiance after my quiz today bc I really did need to focus on that, but I was like WE HAVE A PLANNER!!!! Now truthfully I wasnt expecting that since Diane had mentioned it being about 10 days till I found out who my planner was. Surprise once again!!! Disney is really making all of my dreams come true!!! I cant wait to get my planning packet tomorrow!!!

If anyone has used Maxine please let me know what you thought of her! I really like her already! I told her Im a huge gator fan and she said Im not the first Bride thats told her that haha.

On top of everything today, it was a great football day!! Florida got the top recruiting class in the country and a good family friend of ours got a full ride to MARSHALL!! We are so proud of him!!

Can you tell today was a good day! O and I got and A on my quiz!!!!

If Disney is involved they make your day magical :)
