HI Everyone! 
I've posted here and there but never really introduced myself so I figured I would do so now.
My name is Brandy and I am 27. My DB (I won't call him my DF yet, I'll explain why in a minute) is Brian and he is 30. We are both from good ole' New Jersey.
DB and I met through a mutual friend. He was living with his ex girlfriend at the time and I had just come out of a 4 year relationship myself and was kinda just having fun and meeting new people. We all worked at the same company just in two different locations and never even saw each other at work before. I went out to a bar with my friends and he was at the same bar with his friends - including out mutual friend! We started talking, I even met his then GF! A few months later they broke up and we got together....five years later and here we are!
Now...why I call him my DB and NOT my DF......after my dad passed away when I was 19 my grandmother got very ill. She basically gave up, I can only imagine what it is like to lose a child...anywho, when her health started to get bad she told both DB and I that she wanted us to use her wedding rings for our wedding and we agreed and started looking into wedding venues and all. After she passed, the family turned on each other! It's really a shame what happened. Now no one talks to each other and my uncle refuses to give us her rings even though he knew that's what she wanted. She didn't have a will. SO DB and I have decided to make it a joint expense and have been looking into rings for a few months now. After I finally gave up on my uncle changing his mind. He still wants to do a proposal so I told him I wouldn't call him my DF until he did that.
With all that said....we have decided on a Disney wedding and our ideal date is September of 2008. We chose Disney for a few reasons but mainly it was DB's idea! Who am I to argue! No way! My mom and her entire family lives in Florida so they have no problems with it, less traveling for them. The only family I want there from NJ is my brother, his wife and my adorable chunky monkey nephew.
I was thinking about SBP for the ceremony and can't make up my mind for the reception. I LOVE AA Rotunda but I know that I won't be able to get 100 people there so that's out. The Living Seas looks gorgeous from what I've seen in pictures so I think that is what I am leaning towards at the moment. I am really glad I found this site. Disneyweddings.com and the wishbook are OK but not really helpful to me.
Wow...this post turned out longer that I anticipted, sorry! Just wanted to say HI so everyone knows who I am now

Where in NJ are you? I'm from NJ, and even though I moved away 6 1/2 years ago, it's still my home
