Wedding Plans So Far
Date: Saturday January 24, 2009.
Locations: We’re doing the ceremony at 5:00 PM at the Wedding Pavilion. Cocktail hour in Whitehall room and its patio, with a part of one of the ballrooms. Reception at Grand Floridian ballrooms.
Colors: Pink and orange, mine and Val’s favorite colors, respectively. And SCORE!-- these colors match the GF ballrooms PERFECTLY.
Gown: probably this Mary’s Bridal dress that I tried that I really loved. My mom and I went to a bridal gown shop, and it was the first dress I tried on and we both knew that it would be the one.
Photography: Christopher Patrick.
www.cpoweddings.com The photographer and his wife got married at Disney World, so they know all about it. Val and I loved their pictures, and we met up with them formally during a Disney visit earlier this year and clicked well with them. We actually haven’t signed our contract yet--wanted to wait until we sign wedding contract first, but we’re decided on the photographer.
Rehearsal dinner / Farewell Brunch: No formal plans yet. I’d love to do a breakfast/brunch the morning after, but not sure yet. If I could do it for little $, then that would be perfect.
Room block: GF, Polynesian, Caribbean Beach and Disney All Star Music. We wanted Contemporary but there was nothing available. Even a year out!! Grr!!
Bridal Party
Bride: Liz
Groom: Val
Maids of Honor: my 2 sisters, Farah and Yamilee
Bridesmaids:
My cousin Patricia
Best friend/pseudo-sister Liz
Best friends since high school: Elena, Maria Alejandra, Isabel (also a Disney bride, yay!)
Best friend since college: Monica
Have I asked them all to be my bridesmaids yet? Nope. But hopefully they’ll accept! Well, I already asked half of them, actually--my cousin and 2 of my friends. I had ordered these adorable “Will you be my bridesmaid? I promise not to make you wear an ugly dress” cards last year, which I haven’t sent out yet. I wrote them all yesterday, and will send them out this week.
Junior Bridesmaid: My Aneta J who is Val’s only first cousin. She’s 11 and we’re very close, and I want her to stand out at the wedding, and to have a very special place of honor.
Best Men: Val’s 2 brothers Cris and Georgel
Groomsmen:
Val’s best friends Marinel and Dinu
And we don’t know who else just yet, but that’ll come.
Ringbearers: We’ll have our 3 little boy nephews walk up together; at the time of the wedding, they will be 3, 4 and 5.
Flower girl: our little Emma, Val’s 5-year old niece.
I joined the DisBoards at the beginning of the year, and have been lurking for a while, rearing my pretty little head every now and then…SO much good info, and I love reading the Pjs and questions, so I’m starting my own now 
for your dream Disney wedding!
how fun!! 
and the minor bodily improvements are in the form of a deflated balance ball and hand weights my 2 yo likes to throw at his brothers! I am in desperate need of some motivation!! 
and for DF to stop buying oreo cookies-you have to eat the cookie to get to the double 
stuff filling!
