I guess with only a month and two weeks to go I should start a planning journal!!!!:banana: :banana: Most of the details of my big day are done.

I guess I will start with how my DF and I met. We went to high school together but we did not meet till my senior year. We were both at a beach party and were introduced by a mutual friend. We got to know each other and started hanging out and before I knew it we were dating:love:. We dated all through college and then in April of 2005 we got engaged.

HOW HE PROPOSED:
My DF was working at a vet clinic at the time and we had just got a new puppy (Cody), so one day my DF calls me and says that he was looking at Codys shot records and noticed he was due for one and asked me if I could bring Cody in b/c they were not very busy at the clinic. So I grabbed Cody, hopped in my car, and headed to the clinic. When I got there, everything was normal, one of the techs let me in a exam room and my DF took Cody to get his weight, etc. Then my DF and the Dr. come back to the room and they have all the needles and meds on the counter and the Dr. looks at them and turns to my DF and says I think you forgot something and my DF turns to the cabinet and instead of grabbing medicine he pulls out a bouquet of my favorite flowers and a ring and gets on one knee....at this point I notice that everyone that works at the clinic is in the room with us and all the girls are teary (of course I was totally oblivious to this before...lol) I started crying and we all know what the answer was!!!

Deciding where to get married was easy. Disney always had a special place between my father and I. It is a tradition for my father and I to see any disney movie that came out together. I love alladin b/c my father always called me his little Jasmine! My father loved WDW and it will always have a special place in my heart! Ever since I was a little girl my dad told me he wanted to see me get married in WDW and even though he wont be there in person I know he will be there in spirit.

We set the date for thursday july 26, 2007. The ceremony will an intimate and it will be held at the wedding pavillion at 2:30 pm followed by the reception (cake and champagne) We are having dinner at Ohanas and then finishing the night with a wishes cruise on the grand 1. The rehearsal dinner will be at Jikos in the AKL on july 25.

We have hired randy chapman for photography and stan for videography. I am still debating on who to have for hair and make up (debating b/w beaute speciale and on site beauty)

My dress is from davids bridal:

Well thats my plans in a nutshell so far! Hope yall enjoy! And any ideas or opinions are always welcomed!!
 
I love your dress, and completely adore the wording of your invitation. I'm so done with trying to find disney invitations because they are all cheesy looking, so I was looking into different ways to word it so it would still make people think of Disney. Everything sounds great!
We were thinking about either doing an illuminations cruise or a wishes cruise after our reception, do they both hold the same number of people? We're having a hard time trying to decide which 6 people should come with us on the cruise?
 

I've really enjoyed reading your planning journal so far! Your DF's proposal was sooo sweet!!!! :love: And I find it touching that your dad and your family were so fond of Disney... the same thing goes with mine, so I think when I first mentioned a Disney wedding DF knew that it was meant to be!

I also really love the hair style you picked out... I think it will look fantastic on you!

Where did you ever find that really cute Mickey & Minnie ring bearer pillow? I've never seen anything like it before!! I love the embrodery!

But... dang girl! How are you going to walk in those heels!? ;) They are gorgeous and I have to give you props. I don't think I could manage to pull those off!!!! Well I suppose I could if I just stood still and let the wedding come to me! :rotfl:

Good luck with everything and I can't wait to hear more!
 
Everything looks great so far! Your wedding is so close, I bet you are sooo excited!:)
 
love those invites, where are they from?

love the hair as well, if i had long hair I would go for that as well
 
stichfan18-for the wishes cruise i was told that the pontoon boats can hold up to 10 guests. we rented the grand 1 yatch b/c it can hold 13 and then we rented one pontoon boat tht holds 10 so that we could have all 18 guest go on the boats. They also have a boat that holds about 8 ppl if i remember correctly. Try calling the recreation line at disney the # is 1-407-WDW-PLAY. They will be able to tell you a litte more....hope this helps

Kashmir104-I found the pillow at www.invitationsbydawn.com. I wont lie...the shoes are not the most comfortable....but the thing we girld do in the name of fashon and beauty!!;)

orangetiggs-I got the invitations from mygatsby.com. They are awsome and work very quickly to have your invitations done!

Thanks on all the great feedback you guys!! I will definately be posting more soon.
 
Loving your PJ popcorn::

And your DF's proposal was amazing! :goodvibes
 
I love everything so far. You have a beautiful story :) I love the dress and the hair. I wish I could pull that off with my hair but I think mine is too long.

Good luck with everything!
 
I thought I would add pictures of my furbabies just for fun (including the one who inspired my engagement;) )

Thanks...the rehearsal dinner dress is from nordstroms...the favors were made with a kit from wal mart and the little tins have pink and brown m&ms and the littel box has those litte ghiradelli chocolates (which i love---esp the caramel ones!!!!!!!!!Its been taunting me to open one and eat them but i must resist the temptation!!lol)The programs are from a kit I got at hobby lobby.

Awww thanks....I really appreciate that;) Yeah the shoes are my fav but im probably going to regret those later:rotfl: My DF cracked up when I showed him my shoes and said...you now im not going to carry you around all day (an inside joke b/w us b/c when we were in undergrad we went to a football game and I wore some stilleto heels--I love to dress up...by the end of the game he was carrying me across campus b/c my feet were hurting so badly I couldnt walk and I refused to go bearfoot and I started walking really slow(which he cant stand...he walks so fast!) so he just carried me to his car:rotfl2:)Im glad you said classy b/c thats exactly what im going for!!
