Hi Disney Brides!!
I began this journal in September and kind of abandoned it. I'm back now, though, to kind of show everyone how all my little "home projects" and decisions went!
About Me and Joe!
We met at a kegger in college and have been together ever since!! We met when we were both 19, and now we are 23 and its been an awesome period of our lives where we were able to experience college together and now were in the real world and own a condo and a dog and work (yay.). We both like fitness type stuff and tv (It's always sunny..., and Lost!) Im a full time graduate student as well as work full time so I love Disney weddings because they seem to do all of the hard work for you!! Everything else will be fun and easy (like the dress). Joe managed to find this message board when I first made it, so if he does it again, then hi joe! Stop reading this, its girl stuff!
The Proposal
I knew it was coming because I was there when he bought the ring. I also told some people that he bought one, which was not a good idea because they told more people and then I had family calling me etc to congratulate me and ask me detailed questions when I wasnt even engaged yet!
Well we ended up returning the ring because the jewelers were really shady and not truthful (Shaws Jewelers), and we still hadnt even received the ring and it had been more than a month! It was just a solid band and solitaire round cut diamond, but they said it wouldnt be done until sometime in November. Apparently, Im the Bridezilla type of person
and dumped Shaws and found a better ring with Joe. (This one is arriving next week 
k
That same night I was pretty bummed because I felt stupid that everyone already knew about the situation, and we didnt even have a ring, and he didnt even propose yet. Then, I went to the bathroom and saw that he had painted will you marry me? on the wall with purple paint! Well, Lilac paint. Its probably an important detail at this point to tell you that we were planning on repainting the bathroom.
The Wedding
After telling Joes family about the proposal, I didnt seem to get a good vibe about the Disney wedding. I began to assume it just wasnt going to happen because I would feel guilty if some people couldnt attend because of the economy or not getting time off work etc And Im the type of person who I WANT them to be there, so if they cant go that would make me sad as well.
A few days later, though it seemed to turn a little sunnier. I think everyone talked about it and thought it over and began to get excited about the whole aspect of it!
Im penciled in for April 10, 2010 at Seabreeze.
Im thinking about staying at the Grand Floridian since I wont be able to have my wedding at the wedding pavilion.
Where Im at now
Does anyone have any pets? Did you just leave your pet at a pet boarding place at home, or what did you do? I just rescued mine last month, and even though April is a ways away, Im afraid that shell feel like she was given up again.
Well that's all!

Since my grad classes are starting up next week and I'll be pissy and stressed, I went out and bought a wedding dress! There are a few alterations that I need to take on it, but here it is! Check this out.. it was only $129.00 ! 
Now I get more money to spend on other things.
