~He didn't drink the Kool Aid.. He bathed in it!August TR~12/13 PG45 The End

YAY! Congratulations on your engagement!!! That is so exciting and I'm really happy for you!!

That must be one of the most perfect ways to be asked; in WDW IN the castle!! Pure magic, I'm sure!!

Well I definately wish every blessing and happiness to you both!!
God Bless you guys!:hug:
 
I knew what the surprise was from seeing your facebook updates-I can't believe you kept it a secret so long. ;) What a great story and I love the penguin story too. How cute (I also love penguins!). A Disney wedding sounds awesome. :goodvibes
 
:cool1::cool1::banana::banana::yay::yay::yay::yay:
I knew it! I knew it! Congratulations!! so beautiful!!!! now its a real fairytale story... love it!
 
Congratulations!! I was sitting here in tears reading and viewing the pics! I've already subbed to your wedding pretrippie.

Take it from someone married 31 years, the amount of thought and planning that Josh put into the proposal is a true sign of his character. He knows you, understands you and values what you like. You two are darling together.

Also, please thank him for his service for me.:goodvibes
 

Congratulations!!!

Dawn - how did you and Dale keep that a secret!?!?
You must have been dying!!!
 
Also coming out of lurkdom

Congratulations, what a great surprise. The ring an slipper are so beautiful.

My son is also in the Airforce, btw. I'll try to follow along on the wedding plans as well.

Looking forward to hearing about the flag ceremony.

That was just such a beautiful and amazing story. It doesn't get any better than that. Very happy for you guys, congratulations. No worries that you have not been together for that long. When you know, you know. :cloud9:
 
Congratulations on your engagement! How amazing to be able to say that you got engaged inside Cinderella's castle!!

As for how long you guys have known each other....getting married is a commitment that you make out of love, not out of time. My husband and I were only dating a week when he started talking about getting married. Course, he made me wait three months to actually propose, the jerk. :rotfl: ;)
 
Congratulations Caitlin!!! Wow, you could not have had a more fitting proposal. What wonderful memories you will have. Your ring is beautiful!! I got tears in my eyes as I read this, especially after seeing the picture of your Mom and Dad watching and holding hands - so sweet! I will definitely be following along all of the wedding plans. And welcome to being an October bride. We will be celebrating our 26th anniversary this month (we honeymooned at Poly).
 
Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! That's sooooo exciting!! I'm so jealous too!! That's so amazingly awesome, congratulations!! Eeeeeeeee!!
 
Thank you! Dress shopping is the most fun. There is a great store in Plymouth called "I Do Too Bridal" inside Plymouth Manor. You should check it out. I was pleasantly surprised and that is where I ended up buying my dress from.

Thanks for the tip!

I have an appointment at David's Bridal next week so if I don't find something there I will definitely check it out!


I got to give you one of these in real life and tell you how happy I was for you but seeing the pictures of the actual event taking place.....priceless hon! We are so happy for the two of you and extra happy that we got to celebrate it with you while we were all there!!! I'll be popping over to check out the plans!!!

:hug: I was so excited to tell you and Jasmine! I remember saying to my mom they will be the first people I get to tell and show the ring to in person!

Thank you! I know you have been thinking of a girls only trip 2012 might be a good time for it :rolleyes1

Thank you! He and my parents worked very hard to make sure it was perfect! I really couldn't have asked for a better proposal!

I will! I always beam when someone thanks him for his service I am just so proud of him!

Thank you! It was a wonderful surprise!

I am so excited to share the wedding plans!

Thank your son for his service and next time he is in WDW you should look into the flag ceremony it was amazing!



That was just such a beautiful and amazing story. It doesn't get any better than that. Very happy for you guys, congratulations. No worries that you have not been together for that long. When you know, you know.
Thank you!

I agree! It is amazing and I never thought it would happen but it has and I feel so lucky!

Thank you!

It was amazing!

Thank you! I love the ring!

That picture chokes me up every time I see it!

I have found October to be a very popular month! I am happy because it is a little less than a month before my birthday so I found it to be a fitting date :)



What a fairytale! Congratulations!
Thank you!


Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! That's sooooo exciting!! I'm so jealous too!! That's so amazingly awesome, congratulations!! Eeeeeeeee!!

Thank you!!!
 
Congrats to you both! That is a fantastic story and so cool that Josh proposed at the Castle. Didn't take him long to figure it out.


Congrats again!
 
What a great trip report! I love the introduction, and of course the proposal. The picture of your parents looking on is so sweet. Congratulations to you and Josh. I can't wait to hear the rest!
 
I already commented on the other thread, but I wanted to also say that the proposal was ADORABLE! I loved reading it. What a surprise!!! How did you know he was going to propose that day? :laughing:
 
Wow, so far behind already... "time to do the m-" Uhh, I mean catch-up! ;)

Oh wow, so early for a trip that truly doesn't begin until 7 hours away, but I can totally relate. Though my last two trips, I've had to get up early for long drives off to the airports with flights just at the crack of dawn, but I'm pretty sure I stayed up all night. The things that Disney does to you, so very magical :goodvibes

Oh gosh, definitely doesn't look like a great start to the trip. I can't believe that dress had been broken at the seams, not torn, but broken, cheap! More reason to throw it away. And I can't believe your flight got delayed two hours and then the flight was just as awful. :sad2: I guess that's why people dub it as air-sucky-tran. :/ But at least you got an extra night in Disney in return! :thumbsup2 Love the pictures of the magical gates and the lovely ME buses :teeth:

Oh wow... BIG update! I love all your pictures, you really do get pictures of everything. I'm sorry you didn't find your Penguin Vinylmation, well, always next trip! :thumbsup2 And yeah, Josh does have a "Situation" look, in that pose. And I can't believe you can't take pictures of the paintings and portraits and stuff inside Art of Disney :sad2: I was so hoping to show off the first few additions to the gallery in the mansion I would soon own :p Definitely got to make note of the hands in World of Disney (btw, where is Mickey and Minnie on their little flying machine, I'm a hundred percent sure they were there in February!) and the Mashed Potatoes at Wolfgang Puck's ::yes::

On to the next time...

That's awesome you got ADRs at CRT, such a great place then to add in Josh's first monorail ride (<3333 MONORAIL!) and then to see the train preparing for Rope Drop with all the characters waving at you, so sweet :goodvibes It definitely looks like a great start to a great day. Love the Photopass! :teeth:

Oh, that's awesome to hear Caitlin got to do the flag ceremony with Josh. Coolness! I can't wait to see pictures of them doing that. Love the castle pictures, by the way (:

Sorry to hear you didn't get to do the immediate Cinderella picture, hopefully at the end. Oooo... the food looks great. I'm really eyeing those sausages and the stuffed french toast, heard a lot of good things about that (: And then the princesses come along! Poor rudely-awoken-by-true-love's-first-kiss Aurora :sad2: Haha @ the comment on Josh's flounder-y hair :confused3 Oh, I wonder what was inside the covered tray...

Oh. My. Gosh! He proposed! I was so clueless then, probably because this is the first time reading your TRs, but wow, what a creative way to propose. And if you had said no, I'm pretty sure I'd be leaving this TR right now and I love how the whole moment was captured on camera. Such a magical way to get proposed. The ring is beautiful, by the way. I had a feeling by your mom's update, there was something VERY suspicious going on haha And that was awesome you got more pictures with Belle and got to keep the Wine flutes. Oh, what an update, what. an. UPDATE! Congratulations you two! (: Totally following your PTR now...

Can't wait to read more! :mickeyjum
 
I've been lurking for this trip report, but I had to come out of lurkdome after your last update.

Congratulations! Everything about your proposal story looked picture perfect and straight out of a fairytale. Josh did such an amazing job. I read your update while at work yesterday and it made me a bit teary eyed while working.

I can't wait to hear all about your wedding plans on your other pretrip report.
