My Bridal Shower!
My Bachelorette Party!
Hi everyone! My name is Marissa and I just turned 24, and my wonderful fiance is Chris and he is 27. We have been together for 6 years and engaged for almost a year now! Well first of all I have learned so much from all of you brides here, so thank you so much!
How we met!
Chris and I met in February 2004 when I was 17 (still in high school!) and he was 20, we were working at the Roadhouse Grill, I was a hostess and he was a server, and we had our first kiss in the freezer haha about a month after I started working there! A month later we were officially dating, and have been crazy in love ever since! He is most defintiely the best thing to ever happen to me : )
Our Engagement!
We got engaged almost a year ago on March 28th, 2009 then we left the next morning for a week long Caribbean cruise to celebrate! It was all beyond amazing. So heres the story: I was getting ready to start packing for our trip on Saturday morning and Chris told me I would have to pack later, because he had a suprise for me. He is very romantic and surprises me a lot, so I was not suspicious at all the entire day. First he took me out to lunch, and then for ice cream (my favorite!) at this cute little ice cream parlor, and then to a very nice swimwear store (where I have never been before bc it is very expensive lol) to buy me a new suit for our trip. It was an amazing day already. Then he told me that he had one more suprise for me but I had to be blindfolded. He drove around with me blindfolded (and scared haha) for a while and then we got out and he leaded me somewhere. When he told me to take off the blindfold we were in front of the waterfall in a local park where we had taken our pictures before my senior prom 5 years earlier and he was down on one knee! He was crying and I was in complete shock, but it was so beautiful and incredible. I hadnt noticed at first but there was a whole crowd of people in the park watching and clapping, and Chris's Dad was taking pictures of the whole thing! It was absolutely the best day of my life! The ring was his mothers which she is passing down to us, and it is 3 round diamonds, 2.5 carats all together, with white gold and is just beautiful! So now I am engaged to my best friend and the love of my life, and I am so happy!
Here's my Ring!
Here's some photos from our engagement!
And our cruise too!
General Wedding Plans!
We are planning on getting married in February of 2012, although not sure on the exact date yet, so a bit less than 2 years from now. I wish we didnt have to wait so long, but I am a medical student, almost done with my second year, and dont have any vacation time until my fourth year! Chris is a massage therapist (score for me! lol) but is in school now to be an RN, so he will be done next year and working in time to save for the wedding! I want to get married at the Wedding Pavilion, and have our reception at the GF- Whitehall Room and Patio with possibly the cocktail hour at the GF Marina. I have wanted to get married at the WP since I was about 12! My family are DVC members and a bunch of Disney freaks so we have gone every year since I was like 2! Chris hasnt been since he was young, but just wants what will make me happy (Bless his heart) so has agreed to make my dreams come true! We are going to Disney together for the first time over our Spring Break in April, and I cant wait to show him everything! I am thinking Hot Pink, a lighter Pink, and Silver for the colors with a subtle "Happily Ever After" theme with touches of sparkle (I am a Pink and Sparkle Girl haha), so I have also made an inspiration board with my ideas.
Here it is:
I feel like I have got way too much planned already for being so far away still, but I am pretty Type A and have dreamed about my wedding my entire life! But it is also good because next year I am going to be insanely busy with school! I cant wait to share the rest of our plans over the next two years and read along with everyone elses as well! Thanks again for all your inspiration!

When I started my PJ we were a little less then 2 yrs out and about 3 months ago decided not wait for our "Marriage Celebration" anymore and moved it up.
