Well I guess I have lurked and randomly posted enough!!! My name is Stacy and I am a huge Disney fan. I may not be having a Disney Wedding but I am having a DisneyMoon! hehehe This past Sunday I hit my 2 month mark for my wedding. I will be marring my now Fiancé and boyfriend of 4 1/2 years.
Background on myself and my FH!
I am originally from the East Coast, More importantly from Massachusetts! Go Sox!!! (Had to throw that in
) I was born and raised on the Southshore of MA and eventually ended up attending College in Boston. During the end of my Sophmore year I ended up meeting my FH. We met randomly as we were both out for a walk enjoying a nice fall day in Boston and just started talking. We exchanged phone numbers and talked every day! I thought it was all a little weird, but hey God gives you people when you need them and least expect it! He was from Iowa (Which at the time I had to look up on the Map where that was, I knew it was in the midwest but where I had no clue! ) On December 18th, 2001 we had our first date and it was great. We went to a great italian place by Faneuil Hall and then played UNO with my roommates and friends most of the night. We became really good friends and enjoyed hanging out. On Feb 4th he asked me to be his girl* (This will come to be important later). I said "Are you asking me to be your GF?" He said Yes I am! So of course I said yes. On July 4th 2002 I took my first trip to Iowa and met the whole family. Everyone was so caring and Nice and I had a blast in Iowa! From then on it was great, minus the long distance relationship for quite a while. We were able to work passed the 1400 mile seperation and grow to love each other very much.
The Engagement!
On April 30th of this year the FH asked me if I wanted to take a half day on the 4th of May and go to Minnesota to watch his favorite baseball team the Twins take on my First place team the Red Sox... I was unsure if I wanted to use my vacation time for something like this, especially since the weather forcast was not looking good. I asked him if he thought it would be worth it, me taking a half day of work off for a baseball game. To which he responded "Well I think so, but I will leave it up to you." I am a die hard Red Sox fan, so who am I to turn down a chance to see the Sox play in another field. So I left work at 11:30 am and headed up to MN to meet my then BF. We met up and headed to lunch at Famous Dave's BBQ and I asked him why on earth he was brining his camera and camera case into the restaraunt. He was like you never know when you may need it. (I thought this was a little odd but I just went with it. ) We took some goofy pictures and had a fun time over lunch/early dinner. **Little did I know that the ring was at the bottom of the camera case and he was not letting that case leave his side LOL **
Once we got up to MN we checked into our hotel and headed over to the game. By this time it was raining and I was very glad that the Twins played in a Dome! We got to our seats and I was shocked to see how close we were to the field!
During the 7th inning we were both getting hungry but ballpark food was not sounding good. He asked if I wanted to take a walk after and find a place to eat. I told him since it was raining why don't we just get food delivered to our room. He said no, we can find a place right around here that would be good. So I said Okay! After the game **Which the Sox WON** We started to walk and my FH asked a police officer how we could get to the Mississippi River. Amazingly the sky had cleared up, the stars were out, Temperature was perfect and we found a great spot along the Mississippi River. As I was trying to take pictures of the great bridge that we were near the FH put his arm around me and said "Stacy will you be my Lady **Note the referance from when he asked me to be his girl**.. Well me being a little clueless and trying to figure out why my camera could not take a decent picture I said " Honey you know I am your girl and I love you very much. He then said, "Well I know you are my girl, but will you be my Lady" As I started to turn towards him I said I do not understand, what do... And before I could finish the sentence I was facing him and he was down on one knee with the open ring box
in hand and said "Stacy (Insert full name here) I love you with all my heart, Will you Marry Me?" After the initial shock I must of said YES about 100 times and started to Cry. I could not of pictured it a more perfect way!
We were still hungry after this whole ordeal and really lucked out by finding a great Irish pub and grill and not only did we have great food, some great Irish beer but there was also a Live band playing great Irish music and Irish Drinking songs. Their name is Legacy and it was awesome! They sang a great Irish drinking song to us in celebration of our Engagement. Here is a picture of me with the band:
Well after he proposed it was time to call my family. I woke everyone up on the East Coast to tell them our Good News.. Well I completely forgot about the time difference and did not care. My family was very happy but already knew! LOL He had called and asked for my Mothers permission back in March (Which is when he first wanted to propose on our trip to AZ, but could not get the ring here on time from Ireland so he had to wait) Here is a shot of the Ring:
Well, we picked a date that seemed to be so far away but yet it was right around the Corner. October of this year! I am soo happy! As of this recently I was 2 Months Out from being a Mrs!!
And where we are both Catholic, we will be having a Catholic Mass Wedding and since he has never been to Disney 
scared1: ) And I have been 13 times 
I convinced him that it would be a great place to celebrate our wedding and Honeymoon!! We leave for our Disneymoon Shortly after I am sooooooo Happy! 
I picked out my dress after trying on about 20 different ones and I just knew when I put it on it was the one.. Here are some shots of the dress:
I had some issues with my BM dresses that I never saw coming. Apparently if you want to order a dress you need to do it 6 months in advance. Well the bridal store Never told me that so when I went to go order them I was told NO. I said well if I am paying for them how can you tell me no, so she explained how I needed to do it 6 months in advance and was very rude about it. So I decided that I would go elsewhere for my BM dresses. I never would of thought I would say this but I ordered them through Target *Who knew they had a whole Bridal Line?
* SO All of my BM got their dresses within 7 days and they all fit!!
Here is a shot of the dress on the Model. We are going with the Black Dress, Probably Pink sashes that my FMIL is going to make for all of them.
Here is the back detail that matches my Button detail on my dress:
Phew, this Post is getting pretty long. I think I will stop here for now and continue on another one. Thanks for listening... Well I guess Reading!!
Cheers: Stacy

Can't wait to go back! The dress is beautiful, and I love the ring!!
That is the most beautiful design on it. Everything else is looking wonderful too! I especially like your wildflower bouquets and your cake. Can't beat the price on the bouquets! Good luck with the rest of your planning!
