HOW WE MET:
Well we met at a bar, I know what you are thinking, but he and I had some mutual friends and didn't even know it. So we started talking and becoming better friends. One of the first things he did was at 12:01 am the day after my birthday he threw me in the snow outside a bar we were at. It all started because we were joking around and I told him he had to me nice to me because it was my birthday. Well at 12:01 he said It is no longer your birthday lets go... I found out later he wanted to kiss me that night when he "rescued me from the snow" but instead some of our friends followed us out to actually rescuse me. After that, well the rest as they say is history.

ABOUT US AND DISNEY
I am a huge Disney freak, I worked at Blizzard Beach on the college program in the spring of 2000. DF didn't really know much about Disney, so I made sure to plan a vacation for us to go. He is a huge Nascar fan, so for a surprise and special gift for humoring me and going to Disney I bought him the Rookie experience. I actually was able to keep it a secret. I told him we were going to the track for a tour, then while waiting for the van to get us at the TTC I asked if he wanted to drive. He was so excited just like a little kid on Christmas morning. He had so much fun, when we got home he decided to get into go kart racing. Now he and I both race karts at two local dirt tracks.

THE PROPOSAL:
I had been getting anxious about getting engaged and he kept playing it off. So one night he suggested we go to dinner with my parents since we hadn't seen them in a while. I agreed it was a great idea, he also suggested we go eat at Buffalo Wild Wings, that was where we went on one of our first dates.

Apparently while we were at my parents house getting ready to go to dinner, he and my dad had a talk. He asked my dad for his blessing and showed him the ring.

Then after dinner he asked to see the ring I wear on my right hand. I said Why? He said just let me see it. So I did, then a while later I said, Can I have it back, to which he said No not yet. A little more time passed and he says Oh no I dropped your ring, to which I OF COURSE said you jerk why did you do that. So immediately began looking for it on the floor under the booth. He asked me to sit up, but I was concerned with finding it, then my mom says just sit up a minute. Well when I did he was down on his knee holding out my engagement ring. And then I was not to nice and said "What are you doing?" Then he proceed to say some very nice thing and ask me to marry him to which I said YES!

No more than 5 minutes after, mom started asking about weddings. I said I wanted a destination wedding, then mom said well here is your budget where do you want to go? I said Disney and that started the whole process.

LOCATION:
We both agreed we would get married at SBP, it looks so beautiful.

DATE:
Well neither of us wants to wait to long (as I joked I waited long enough LOL)

He joked and said what about on his birthday (April 18th) Then I said why don't we try for the 16th it was his grandfather's birthday who passed before I met DF but they were very close. So it was settled. We would try for the 16th.

His idea is to drive at the Richard Petty Expirence on Saturday April 17th, he has been talking about driving there again ever since we left the first time.

Then we can celebrate his birthday on the 18th.
 
Well first I went to Alfred Angelos and the girl working was so rude, when I told her our wedding date she said and I quote "Boy you are behind" I found a few potential dresses but because of her attitude I want to look elsewhere.

We then went to David's bridal, and I actually liked so may dresses there is was hard to choose.

Here is what I decided on:

Thanks to stalking on these boards I decided to put my two bridesmaids in shades of blue, Here are the stock pictures of their dresses:

Oh I guess I should have shown this sooner, here is my ring. He picked it out all by himself (well with a little help from my best friend) She had a list of what I have liked about other rings and what I wasn't a fan of he put that knowledge together and came up with this ring. I LOVE IT. I don't think I could have picked out one this nice!
 
Aww yay a new PJ! I love your story. I really love the dress though the back of it is very pretty, plus you look great in it. Can't wait to read more!
 

Thanks Rebecca I have been meaning to start one for a while, just haven't had time to sit down and type it up.
 
Yay! You started a PJ!! I am getting married just one day before you...and since I am staying at BCV, you know that I am totally going to stalk your ceremony :lmao:

The dress looks beautiful, and thing ring too!!!
 
That is awesome, I look forward to your stalking ;)

I can't wait to see your pictures from your wedding!
 
Yay Cari! You started a PJ! As you already know I love the colors! ;) Your ring is so pretty too. Enjoy the planning- it goes by all too quickly. :goodvibes

Thanks! Yes you and BoardwalkBride were my inspriation. :worship:

Glad you like my ring too. Right now it is being resized, so I am sad without it hope to get it back tomorrow or Tuesday.
 
Here is my florial inspiration thanks to all you great Dis Brides.

I want Fuschia Roses with White Stephanotis and instead of pearls in them I am thinking about having rinestones. I am still deciding if I want all the same color roses or if I will do something like this other DisBride did and have two different shades.

For my girls I am looking into the Rose Wands, I love the look of them and am thinking about making them with silk. One of my bridesmaids works as an event planner at a local floral shop so we may make that a project for us to make their flowers.
 
Yay for finding your gown!! I love it! I went to DB and unfortunately was not as successful in finding "the one". I love yours though! I just faxed my contract to them last week and got confirmation that they received it..so now I'm just waiting to hear back from my consultant :) I look forward to reading your updates :) Congrats again!!
 
Well my contract is faxed in and confirmed they recieved it. Now I wait for the call...

Our guests are starting to work with the travel agent I picked to book their vacations.

I am trying to decide how and how to plan our time with our guests. DF and I are staying Wednesday - Tuesday and most of our guests are arriving Thursday and leaving Monday. (Wedding is Friday)

Do I schedule ADR's and pick people to join us, do I try to book some for large groups, do we decide to go off on our own?

Any ideas out there for me? We will probably have between 15 and 18 guests.

Thanks!
 
Yeah for your PJ! I never seem to get around to getting one started! Love the gown and your ideas!
 
Just got the call my dress is in! Just a week ago I found it and it is in already. Also my girls's dresses are in too. I am completely shocked, yet excited. Now I will just have to wait to make my appointment to get it altered, but at least it will be at home with me.

Now I want to go see the Alfred Angelo's girl and say :-P (I wish they had a smiley with their tounge out)
 
YAY another April Disbride!! :cool1: I'm getting married on Monday April 19, 2010! I love your dress. you look so beautiful. Also, I love the bridesmaid dresses. I can't wait to hear more of your plans! :goodvibes
 
I agree, lets start an April Brides Club LOL :cool1:

Congrats DisneyGal922 I just finished reading your trip report. I get more and more excited as I read other brides reports :-)
