Hi Guys,

Me and my FIANCE got engaged in NEW YORK central Park July 28th 2010! I had no idea!!! (I thought we were going straight to Orlando on holiday!) After my last year at University! Little did I know that there was going to be a diversion to NYC!

Checking in to Heathrow was an experience on its own! Greg had organised everything! All I had to do was follow instructions. Until I clocked the JFK stickers on the bags! I asked Greg what they were for and he replied ‘Sometimes they change the codes’ I actually believed him! Sitting in the Lounge at Heathrow after passing all the clues! We were tucking into breakfast rolls filming each other on our new camera! When the camera was rolling he told me we were going to New York and Happy Graduation!

Day one in NY we were up early because of the jet lag. Fed and dressed ready to be tourists by about 7:30am! Greg was on a mission! We got a yellow cab to Central Park armed with the new video camera! We took a leisurely walk; while I recorded everything we went passed; Strawberry Fields, The Zoo, then lastly the Lake and the Boat House. Where he took the little black box out of his pocket, placed it on his knee and looked at me! we both giggled and he asked me to marry him! This was the happiest moment ever! I couldnt believe it! The rest of the holiday was amazing as my parents and gregs then met us in Florida to enjoy our celebrations!

As you can see we have always had a love affair with Orlando! The weather, the parks, disney... etc etc the list is endless!!!!

So... Its about time I started our PJ, we are planning to get married in Orlando Florida at (www . lakenona . com) it is a really beautiful venue and we both love it! Sometime in May... Does anyone know what the weather is like this time of year? I think May is the only time of year we havent been!

So now for the pretty part! I have managed to convince Greg that he looks fab in pink!!! well.. blush really... So that is the colour theme we are going for!

Flowers... Any suggestions who to go for?


Bridesmaids dresses... DESSY ALL THE WAY!


So let me know what you think!? (I couldnt attach any photos as I am still a newbee!!!!) and please can you let me know of any other inportant things we might need... like officants?! and photographers?! ETC ETC

Thanks all, I shall keep you updated!!!

Yay another UK bride, what made you want to get married in Florida? Are we mad planning abroad... can everyone come to your event?

XXX thanks for kind comments XXX
 
OH my gosh I love your updates!!!

Those flowers are gorgeous!! :)

I love that bridesmaid dress!! Is that the color?

Also- your dress.... WOW!! Amazing!! You will truly look like a Disney Princess!! lol.. I like your disclaimer for Greg :rotfl:

AND totally didn't know you could customize a Yankee Candle.... might be doing that for my MOM! :)
 
Thanks! The bridesmaid dresses are not that colour... they are a 'rose' colour from the dessy collection! Really beautiful dresses!

And the Yankee candle idea we got while in Orlando last year when we got engaged... we always visit the shop at the Mall at Millenea because they always have better fragrances in the US than the UK. Anyway... we were talking to the assistant and she showed us the leaflet on the personalisation of the candles... well the couple they had used were 'believe it or not' called 'Debbie and Greg' lol we found this hilarious! :rotfl2: And with that and our love for all things Yankee we made our decision. (all be it quite early too) :banana: You can put photos on them and everything!!! really cute idea!

:thumbsup2
 
I love your bridesmaid dresses! So pretty! And I love Yankee Candles too... we were going to do the personalized candle route, but I got cheap and didn't want to spend the money. :) :)

Looking forward to more!

DF and I got engaged at Disney and it was the first place we went on holiday together so its special to us as a couple now aswell as it being my all time favourite place, so that's why we picked it! :)

We have 19 people coming to the wedding and most of the people we asked will be there so we've been pretty lucky!

I dont think we're mad at all!! I've found the whole planning process really easy and I've throughly enjoyed myself! Disney have been amazing and so has our officiant (we're using Jack Day) I dread to think what it would of been like planning a wedding back home! A wedding abroad is a much better idea! :goodvibes
 
A simalar reason to us then! Thats where our first holiday was too! We both love everything about Orlando! and at the moment I am finding it easy planning... However, closer to the time I may say different! :rotfl:

When we got back from our engagement holiday, we emailed our family and friends and asked them if we were to get married abroad would they be interested in coming along to support us... and also using this time to have a holiday for themselves! So far... just from email responses we have around 50 ppl!?! This was not expected at all... They have time to plan, save money for flights etc... so we shall see. Were thinking we'll be lucky if we have 45ish!?

We shall see... :hippie:
 
Ohhhhh... Forgot to say... for all those orlando brides, have a look at this website for a list of vendors in the area...

www.mywedding.com REALLY GOOD! :thumbsup2

We are currently working with a number of different stationeers looking for something exciting to invite our guests!!!!

http://www.dogwoodblossomstationery.com/ working with Denise at the moment in the US...

and Garden Studio Crafts in the UK...

Looking for something REALLY special... Greg likes a boarding pass Idea from http://www.sproulliedesigns.com/index2.php#/home/

All are really good suggestions for destination weddings! When is everyone else sending out invites, We were thinking May this year for May next year... were not doing save the dates you see!!! I dont think you forget the date of a wedding if you have to attend via plane!
