Hello friends! I enjoy reading everyones PJ so I figured I would start my own!
Meet & Greet:
My name is Jennifer, I am 23 years old. My fiances name is Todd and he is 30 years old. I am from Chicago, Illinois and Todd is from Cleveland, OH. He moved to Chicago for work back in 2004. We met through my best friend Jen in 2006. We went out on our first date to TGIFridays and we just clicked I knew that would we would be together forever. I absolutely love when Todd gives me a hard time about being on the boards all day. He says I should be working!! LOL I can't help it, it's so addicting!

Engagement weekend, trying to show off my bling LOL
The Proposal:
Todd and I were visiting his family in September 2008 and he had the best proposal planned but the weather ruined it. He was going to take me to Cedar Point and ask me as soon as we walked in so he could get a photographer to capture the moment. Unfortunately, that didnt work out. He asked me the morning of 9/17/08, and believe me it was a total shock! He went outside to check the weather and when he came back inside he must have had the ring behind his back because he got to the edge of the bed and he was kneeling there and I said what are you doing get up here. And he managed to get some words out about our relationship, which I cant really seem to remember right now. I was just so surprised and I dont even think I said yes and first, he just put on the ring and we hugged for a long time and I teared up. Then, he said, Is that a yes? And I said, Yes, did I not say that? LOL Silly me all caught up in the moment forget to say yes, classic! So I called my mom right away and she couldnt believe it either. Later that day we decided to have lunch with Todds brother and wife. We have a barbeque later that night to celebrate and of course his whole family knew what he had planned from the start.
Why Disney World:
I absolutely love Disney World; Ive been there more times than I can remember! Todd on the other hand has only been there 1 time, and he cant remember anything about it. I am so excited to have our wedding there because its going to be so new for him. I have never stayed at the Swan & Dolphin, but Ive heard all wonderful things about it.
Ceremony & Reception:
We booked our wedding at the S&D for 9/16/2010. The ladies at Just Marry! Susan and Karen are wonderful! At this time we are not sure where we would like to have our reception. The reception package at the S&D is definitely out. I believe it comes out to be $125-145 a person. I have checked into Blue Zoo, Il Mulio, Portobello, Ohana, & Big River Grille. We are keeping our options open because we have so much time to decide. We chose Randy as our photographer and asked that he stay with us for 4.5 hours. Hopefully that will be enough. As you notice, I am quite the picture person!
Disneymoon & At Home Reception:
We are planning a 4 night cruise on the DCL for our honeymoon. We are hoping to have a huge reception when we get back from our Disneymoon in October 2010.
Do-it-Yourself Projects:
I am hoping to make my own save-the-dates, newsletter, invitations, and ceremony programs. I was tossing around the idea of welcome bags, but I just think it will be a hassle because who knows which family/friends will stay on Disney grounds and who will stay off grounds. The last thing I want to worry about is if they received our welcome bags. But, believe me I love the idea!!
