Hello all,
I have finally decided to start our wedding trip report.
First of all, the usual disclaimers: This is my first trip report, I am not a native english speaker (or writer) and I am a man, so maybe the report will not be at the level of detail common around here
So, let us introduce the couple:
Me: Hector (Hector Augusto) People here in Mexico usually have first name, middle name, first last name (father's last name) and second last name (mother's last name). And we use them all
So, Augusto is my middle name. I omit last names... well, just because it feels safer.
I work as an IT (Information Technology) consultant, and I have always thought as myself as a rocker, until recently that I discovered I'm really a geek because I like techology, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and stuff like that. Oh, and wear nerdy glasses.
But I still like my rock, as you can see in this picture. I'm 38
She:: Juana (Juana Olivia) Originally from a coastal city called Veracruz. She is a Electronics Engineer, starting as an IT Consultant as well. She likes to think of herself as a non-tender and femenine women, but you will see during the report that she is. Here is a pic to prove it
She loves Tigger and Goofy, and says Goofy reminds her of me ( I wonder why) She is a very determined and strong person, reminds me of a chicken nugget: crispy outside, tender inside.
We live in Mexico City, and have been living together for three years now, but we just legalized our union. We have been around each other for over 12 years, but we were too young and inmature (sp?). We were supposed to get married about 8 years ago, but split up. Each of us made a life with other persons after that, only to be reunited again and realizing that we had always been thinking on each other, so we 'grabbed the bull by the horns' (mexican expression to say we stopped fooling around) and moved in.
This proved to be a great desicion, as you can see in this pic
When we decided to finally get married, nobody believed that we were getting married at Disney. This included most of our guests who never really did plans for the travel, since they thought it was some kind of carnival wedding, until very late in the game. Even DW parents didn't belive at first that we were getting married over there (or anywhere else). It took them a good 3 months to realize we were talking seriously. And unfortunately, the visa office @ the US embassy didn't believe them either when they told the vice-consul the purpose of the visit to the US, and they were denied the US visa to go to the wedding.
But let's not start yet with the events of the PJ and trip report. We'll add some detail to those events later. Meanwhile, some other pics from ourselves:
This is DW in 2006 at Chef Mickey's , with her hero. I mean, her other hero, besides me
This is me with a very flirty minnie, who gave me smacks and smoochies and signaled that I should call her.
Luckily neither one of us is too jealous.
And a sneak preview of other photos to come:
And yeah, I meant to put the image sideways
For the next pictures, I will deliberatly put them in the proper way 
Next: Planning and mishaps (mmm... by some reason doesn't really feel like a cliffhanger... well, just stay tuned)

I'm already hooked, can't wait for more!
But we decided to go ahead 
Apparently, the visa officer couldn't beleive that 2 mexican citizens were going to get married @ Disney. They wouldn't even look at the letter of intention that by this time was already signed with Disney. So we were stuck with two less parents and two extra airplane tickets. DW was like this 
After all the bummers.
