Ive been reading these boards since we decided we wanted Disney in September, but havent felt like Ive had enough to write until now. A little background, Im Rachel, and my Fiancé is Bob. Weve been engaged since the end of August, he completely surprised me since we had our first Disney Trip coming up in September, and I was convinced hed do it there Coral Reef style or something like that. Anyway, we live in Brooklyn, NY (Park Slope to be exact) and he did it in the Laundromat. He always does the laundry, but we had a lot that day and so I didnt think anything was weird when asked me to come to the Laundromat and help. He told me my underwear had just finished drying, and I could help by folding it. I opened up the dryer, and there, on top of all my underwear was the box. Im glad he did it that way, otherwise the whole Disney trip I would have been anxiously awaiting it. The trip was over our 3 year anniversary and it just seemed like it would make sense.
Anyway. After getting back from Disney and having the best time ever (no lines at all) we decided thats where we wanted to get married because we wanted all of our friends and family to be there and enjoy everything as much as we did. We decided Martin Luther King weekend, Jan 20th 2008 would be perfect because then people would be able to stay longer. We contacted Disney and got penciled in in November. Since then, weve been dealing w/ Diane.
Our ideal wedding would be around 100 ppl, ceremony at the WP, and reception at ADH. The year mark just passed, and Diane called us to let us know that 5 other people wanted WP that day and 3 others wanted ADH. She said they would do the lottery today and Id find out tomorrow. Im just devastated. I cant even sleep. I put boardwalk reception hall down as my second choice, but then I dont even know where Id have the ceremony. Have any of you seen what a ceremony inside the boardwalk looks like? Im nervous to have it outside, since itll be January and possibly cold.

I wanted to pick it out w/ my mother while I still lived up here. Bob and I are relocating to Charlotte, NC next month. I havent ordered it yet, just paid for it. Theyll take my measurements in May or June. And here is a picture of my ring flickr dot com/photos/chules/230476032/
