Hello Everyone,
Im quite sure how this all works but I'm going to give it a go.
How we met: In Spring of 2009 I graduated from Meredith College and still had no idea what I wanted to do so I decided to apply to the Disney College Program! Fall 2009 I moved into Patterson Court with 5 other girls (3 of which turned out to be my best friends!). Fast-forward to the following March, I was still living in Disney with Caitlin and Emily, when Caitlin's brother Curtis came to visit. And thanks to certain situations involving Emily's dog and Caitlin's broken iphone, Curtis and I began talking to each other and thus began our life together. March of 2011 I decided to leave my job at Disney World to move to Cape Cod to be with Curtis
The Proposal: Memorial day weekend of 2012 we went to Walt Disney so that I could stay in the new Royal Suites at Port Orleans Riverside! For the long story, read the next paragraph...for the short version, skip the next paragraph!
While that morning he decided we were going to the parks (because I worked there for so long, Im not a fan of parks during peak seasons and would like to avoid them). We started at Animal Kingdom at 7am doing the extra magic hours and taking full advantage of the morning feedings on Kilimanjaro Safaris! We then made our way to Hollywood Studios for Star Wars Weekend (Curtis loveees Star Wars)...if you have never been to a Star Wars, it slightly terrifying. There are SO many people!! However it turned out to be amazing and super fun! We got pictures with Luke Skywalker, Chewbaca and Princess Leia...in addition to doing all of our favorite HS rides! Around 4:30 I wanted head over to Epcot just to walk around and do our annual photo...so we hopped on the boat to Epcot mostly so we could do the Disney Visa photo at character spot. It was during the boat ride when I started to suspect something. Curtis is EXTREMELY laid back and go with the flow kind of guy, so when we started telling me we had to get over to the Magic Kingdom by 5...it made me wonder what was up. We finished our pictures and got on the monorail, when Curtis suggested we stop at the Poly to see if they had any availability.
Curtis had secretly made a reservation to Kona Cafe at the Polynesian Hotel (where we had our first date (!)). It was fantastic and really sweet of him. At this point I wasn't sure if he was going to propose or just doing a late anniversary dinner. Anyway, we went to the Magic Kingdom for some rides and to watch the stage show! Just before 9 pm Curtis asked where I wanted to watch the water pageant from (The water pageant is one of my all time favorite things at Disney!) and I told him Polynesian because you can see it the best from there so back to the Poly we went. After some strategic seat grabbing we got seats and the fantastic starting music came on. Just after the lights changed to the stars and stripes, I got a poke and Curtis says "We should stand..we can see better" I didn't quite understand but I stood and as soon as I got up, he dropped down to one knee and pulled out the ring! I sobbed hysterically and said Yes!
The Wedding: We are planning on getting married on the August 3rd 2013 Disney Fantasy Cruise. Unfortunately/fortunately we just bought a house so the down payment isn't within our reach at the moment but hopefully by the end of July I will be able to book everything and begin planning! Till then there is just going to be an immense amount of lurking on everyone else's PJ's!!

His parents, my parents and our pastor have all booked their cruise!!!! Plus the best part of all is that we have booked our cruise and partially paid for it!!!
You got your wedding date!! Congratulations!!! That's so fantastic that 
I have this massive file of links of CC wedding photos that I saved over the past year of planning. It just gets you excited for your own wedding 
but now i got dresses everywhere!
Aw man! I wish you were on my cruise! That would have been stellar! If you can't tell from DF face...he was less than thrilled with having to re-enact it in public...probably why he did it with no cameras the first time!
