Hello all!! This is my first PTR so bare with me! This December my DF and I will be traveling to the World for our Honeymoon! Our travel dates are 12/1-12/6. Soooo excited. It has been a long ride getting to the point where we would be planning our honeymoon, and that may be an understatement! I will give you a little background into our lives! I will post pics later 
We met back in 2004, in high school ceramics class. It was very "Ghost" like. We were engaged Dec. 25th, 2007. My ring was in my stocking. Well ever since then, things have gotten, interesting. We have had no less then 10, yes 10 different wedding plans. Everything from traditional church ceremony, to getting married on a cruise ship. We have had ideas that we absolutely love, then once it comes time to tell the families, our excitement bubble is promptly burst. This has happened probably 6 times. Oh how I love in-laws.
Our original wedding plan was an outdoor ceremony in my in-laws backyard. Nope, too risky to do it outdoors, and the logistics are nuts. Then it was the cruise ship. Nope. Hocking Hills. Nope. Carribbean beach. Nope. Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. Nope. Courthouse. Nope (?). Traditional church ceremony. Nope (more on why later). Vegas. Nope. FINALLY. Orlando, honeymoon at Disney. YAY!
Now the reason we didnt do the church ceremony. Its a good one. I have a philosophy on weddings. I believe that either you do it up good, we're talking a $50,000 wedding, or you go very simple. There is no in between. So I, not being rich, was planning a very, very simple ceremony. Under $5,000. I went and bought my dress, got some plans ironed out, booked the church, researched caterers, picked out invites, all the details, well most. THEN, my Future MIL decided that she was going to plan the wedding. Yep, her and my DF aunt were going to plan it. And no, they did not want my help or input. That would be silly, considering its our wedding, to ask out input, right?!. MIL was planning the rehersal dinner, planned to serve chicken cordon bleu. I do not, nor does my DF, like chicken cordon bleu. Didnt matter. Its what we were having. UGH! This went on for about 3 months. I completely stopped caring, stopped my plans, and didnt think about the wedding for weeks on end because it upset me so much. Our day was completely hi-jacked. Then came the Vegas plan. Get married and honeymoon in vegas for a few days. Done deal. Dont care if you like it or not.
We thought we were done changing out minds, but the whole time The Mouse was in the back of my mind. So we switched, again, to getting married in orlando, or at the courthouse in our county, havent decided yet really haha, then staying at Disney for a week. We still havent told my in-laws and the honeymoon is booked and paid for haha! It's a shame that our wedding turned me more bitter and spiteful then it should have. I love our plans. love them!
Finally on to Disney. Sorry that was so off topic, but you needed background! We are staying at ASMovies for our honeymooon. We could have gone delux, but decided to save the money and not have to worry about having enough spending money. We are also signed up for the Honeymoon registry thru Disney. Havent registered yet, but we will probably in october or so. Heck who am I kidding, I will probably do it next week! Can you tell I am a planning freak.
I have read my Unofficial Guide probably 3 times, cover to cover. I Looooove that Book!
Ok so in ending this post, I will leave you wanting more!!! The next post will have more details about our trip!! Thanks!!!

So I will shell out the extra cash and MAYBE surprise DF with this. AHHH!!! who honestly thinks I can pull that one off! HEHE! But I will try, because I know I get annoyed very easily by ppl, but DF, being a police officer, raised by a police officer father and grandfather, and allllll police officer friends, now HE gets beyond annoyed. And I would rather not hear all about it the whole time the PW crowd swarms upon us. Ok thats all for now, hope to have more soon!!!!
