FINISHED 3/28 My Happily Ever After & "Treating" around the world

[PrincessNewsie]

Cute update! I would like to eat at CP one day. The picture of you guys in front of the castle is very cute even though it's a little hard to see the castle, you can still tell where you are!

For making it permanent... I always type my installments in Word because it's easier to save in case something happens. You could put them in Word and then save them and print them out. Or, you could make a photobook! A lot of them have places where you can add text and pictures. I made one from our trip in February and I love how it turned out!

Great idea What kind of storybook? A photopass one, or you made your own? I'd love to make my own.

I figured out how to resize images. You go to Disney, very soon. Aren't you so excited?

I like your new pictures. Those shoes look uncomfy. I hope you're going to add some more.

I made my own book. I didn't have any Photopass pictures from last trip, so I didn't even bother to look there.

There's a lot of services. I looked into them and decided www.blurb.com was the cheapest for a longer book. But, shutterfly and walmart and others have them, also.

Here's some examples done through shutterfly: http://community.shutterfly.com/gallery/home/start.sfly
(I hope that works!)

I am very excited!

OK, I was really bored so I took some pictures of my book so you could see how it turned out and the different layouts and stuff. If you want to give it to your DBF I think it would make a good present.

Everyone I've showed it to has been really impressed with it.

That is the coolest thing I've seen in so long. I think I will do one like that. You're amazing, thanks for the idea!

Monday was a blur. I have a highly crossed off itinerary, so I know that we hit a lot of rides. I didn’t take any notes, so all I have is my camera.
We went to Splash Mountain first. All Josh asked was that I didn’t take him on a wet ride first. I tell him not to be silly. That we won’t get that wet. He rolls his eyes and asks for a poncho. I tell him to stop being a wimp.
We go on Splash Mountain. Here’s our picture:

What I told Josh? About not getting wet. Oops. Can you see how soaked my hair is 20 minutes later on Tom Sawyer’s Island.

The reason I’m holding a flower is because Josh and I decided, when we get married, this would be a really pretty accent in a bouquet. That’s completely random.

We take the raft over to Tom’s island.
Here’s me playing on the bridge:

Around here I got super crabby and over tired. I demanded that we leave. Josh, being the amazing boyfriend, says “Whatever you want sweetie. I just want you to be happy.”

I decide to compromise and do a couple more rides. Looking back, I was in full on brat mode. I suck! We decide to do Jungle Cruise and Haunted Mansion, and come back later.

We went in the Haunted Mansion:

We get back to SOG around 1 and lay out. We come back in around 4 to get ready for our ADRs at the Grand Floridian Café. DBF asks if we can walk over to the Grand Floridian. I am slightly less crabby after dozing by the pool and eating a bratwurst. I agree to it. I love to look at the Poly and the GF and the Wedding Pavillion.

I see my DBF is dressed nicely. He LOVES the Grand Floridian like I love the Polynesian. I put on a sundress and we walk.

Will my miserable mood continue and ruin my DBF’s experiences?

I PROMISE THAT YOU WONT WANT TO MISS THE REST OF THIS TR!

Love the new pictures. Your Mickey waffle makes me want one right now so badly!

MY DBF would kill me if I told him he wouldn't get wet on Splash Mountain! (Actually, it did happen...I didn't know they added the jet in in the beginning, so when he got soaked after being told he'd only get a sprinkle, he was pretty angry for the rest of the day. Oops.)

I can't wait for your next update. I have a feeling I know where it's going!

Love the TR! I think it's great that WDW takes that extra step to make the occasion nice as evidenced in the decorated table for your graduation! Those little moments of pixie dust

BTW, the photobook that irky posted ... I want to go back to WDW with friends and make a whole bunch of those!

You get to have a Mickey Waffle in THREE DAYS.
I thought you didn't get too wet on Splash Mountain. I didn't know there was a jet either. LOL I remember getting mildly wet, but not drenched. Hence the not telling DBF at all.

This left off with us all ready to walk over to our dinner ADRs at the Grand Floridian Café. We wander, holding hands, and he tells me how much he loves Disney. That we can come back next May. I like that. He tells me all kinds of lovely things and I am in a much better mood.

I forgot my sunglasses in the hotel, but I make do with squinty eyes.

Now, we are walking through the beautiful Polynesian resort. We walk down the beach to go to the Grand Floridian, and I run over to the white sand and wiggle my toes in it. It feels so perfect to be in Disney World with the most incredible man in the warm sandy beach, looking out over Cinderella's Castle. I look to the Right and there's the Polynesian.

I look to the left, and in front of the gorgeous GF hotel spilling over the background, is a wedding going on in front of the wedding pavillion.

Josh grabs my elbow and stops me. He turns me to face the lake and holds me steady for a second. He blindfolds me. I'm standing on the beach in shock. Oh my gosh, Josh is about to do some incredibly romantic gesture. He tells me to hold out my hand and I do. I feel him putting what feels like sand in it.

He removes the blindfold. There's a big pile of gold glitter in my hand. That's pixie dust, he tells me. Your Tinkerbell's fairy dust. I love you. Very much. And it's like that quote you're always saying. Go on, say it.

If you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true?

Yes that one. Now make a wish with all of your heart and blow the pixie dust.

SO I do. And there's the most beautiful 3/4 carat nearly flawless PERFECTLY colorless Princess Cut diamond underneath. The most beautiful diamond that I have ever seen. I look down and Josh is on one knee.

Will you marry me?

Did I say Yes? Um...

YES!

 

[RachelNinja]

WOW! That's the kind of pixie dust I want YAYYY for you guys!

 

[KatGarcia]

I am totally tearing up!!!!!!!!! That was awesome! You couldn't ask for a better story!

 

[tink1957]

Congratulations to you both. That's about the sweetest proposal I ever heard. Are you getting married at WDW?

Thanks. If I loved the idea of Tinkerbell and pixie dust before, I am completely in love with it now.

I am totally tearing up!!!!!!!!! That was awesome! You couldn't ask for a better story!

I know, I have such a keeper. What a story to tell our grandkids!

Congratulations to you both. That's about the sweetest proposal I ever heard. Are you getting married at WDW?

Nope, Josh wants a huge church/military wedding with all of our famly and friends since he'll be commissioning, training, and then most likely deploying.
