I'm pretty new to these boards and I've really enjoyed browsing through everybody's planning journals and figured it was about time I started my own!!
My DF and I are both horse trainers and we met online almost 2 years ago on a dating site for horse people! He lived in Chicago and I lived in Texas. After we had been emailing back and forth and talking on the phone a few times, I flew up to Chicago for a week to meet him!! Soon after we met in person, I knew he was the one. Last September he made the big move to Texas and we have been busy getting our horse business started ever since.
We were engaged June 17, 2011. Martin recreated our first "date" in downtown Chicago. We were going up there to visit his family and he surprised me by saying we were going to take the train downtown first. We stayed at the same hotel, ate at the same fabulous pizza place
and went to the same piano bar. It was really magical and was a great reminder where it all started! The next morning he took me to a nature preserve in his hometown and we hiked up a hill and he proposed there. It was so exciting!
I grew up with Disney. My family would go on vacations there about every other year since the time I was 4 years old! I've seen every animated Disney movie and have always dreamed of having my wedding at Disney. However, I was so afraid the costs were going to be way too high but after doing a little research on the cost of doing a wedding in my hometown, I looked into Disney and realized it was doable!
My DF, little sister (also maid of honor), mom and I are going for a site visit in a few weeks. We will be staying at Wilderness Lodge (a first for us!) and I'm so thrilled to get started planning everything!
