I hope this is how you start a Planning Journal; I couldn't find any other place to start one, so I'll just start a new thread for it. If there is another way to start it please let me know and I'll do that so as not to take up space!!

SO ... most journals seem to start out about how the bride and groom met. In fall of 2006 I had given up on dating period. Then I heard so many stories about people meeting on Match. com. So I joined. In October, which is now my favorite month, of course, I saw this guy's advertisement. I got a good feeling from what I read and had to contact him. I heard from him over the next couple of hours over email and we have not stopped talking a day since! Even if our schedules are too busy to see each other we have to talk a couple of times a day.

I love my honey! He proposed on our one year anniversary with his mother's ring, in our house (he is a shy one), and it is finally getting close enough to our wedding date to get excited about planning!! YEA!! I love my honey very much. He is indeed my best friend. He takes my temper tantrums with a grain of salt (you know ladies, PMS-ing lol) and says he loves me no matter what. He has helped me through weight gain with my thyroid when I was depressed, and through finding 'the job', and everything else. Nothing makes me smile more than to see him just walk in the room, because the first thing I know he'll want is a hug and a kiss. :lovestruc

It's not perfect, nothing is, but it's as close to perfect as it can get. I can't wait to marry him!! He is studying to be an x ray tech and graduates this summer, and I am going on job interviews to be either an administrative assistant or an HR assistant; I really want to get into HR eventually. I just graduated from OU in July.

We don't have a specific date because my mom and I are waiting until it's a year to call and get an exact date we can have for Sea Breeze Point. Below is a rough sketch of our day:

Rehearsal Dinner - Ohana's at Polynesian Resort
Ceremony - morning, not sure what time, at Sea Breeze Point
Reception - The Attic; a morning brunch with Mickey and perhaps the Un-Invited guests ...
Evening - Dessert Party Illuminations! My favorite fireworks show!


I am thrilled to be on this board and hope to make many friends and learn a lot about being a Disney Bride. I will be posting pictures and things later on ... I really look forward to hearing from everyone!!
 
ok. Well I was going to post pictures of the dresses but the link wasn't working, so when I have time I'll be posting them here; I have a job interview for a good position today so I gotta get going. But they are Alfred Angelo dresses; my wedding dress is style 1123 and my bridesmaid dress is a 'dream in color dress', style 6471. I'll post pics tonight!
 
Yay!!! A new PJ to read! Can't wait to hear more of your plans! Hopefully your interview went well.
 

Congratulations!! I can't wait to hear all your plans!

Jennifer
 
congrats - you'll be marrying a month before us!

Yay!! I am an Alfred Angelo dress girl too!!!
 
I am so glad to hear from everyone! You girls are great. I am hoping to be able to figure out how to post pictures of the dresses here either this evening or tomorrow! The job interview went well but I am nervous, I couldn't tell from him wether it was good or not. I hate going on interviews! I have gone on two last week and one this week. It's nerve wracking.

You girls are the best! As soon as I get different details of the wedding and can figure out how to post picture you can bet that I will show all!! Thanks so much for your enthusiasm.

Oh, and if anyone reads this I am thinking of going with Misty Moto (is that the spelling?) photography; would you prefer her or Randy Chapman? Thanks!

Off to walk for the evening. I am trying to lose 70lbs in a year and a half - if anyone wants to join me let me know! I loved all of your replies!
 
I think Randy and Misty (Miotto ;)) have very very similar styles.
I think a large majority of the brides here use Randy, but many also use Misty, the Roots and others.

We were originally going to use Misty, but then it worked out a lot cheaper for us to use Randy, as he was happy to take a few hours break and come back to do our dessert party at no charge, whereas Misty charged right through the break.

However, now Disney have a new policy (which won't effect you as you don't have to wait til October to contract and are outside parks anyway) that says outside vendors cannot be used for any in-park photography, so we can't use Randy for the dessert party now anyway, we have to go with Disney's own photography service.
Anyway that's a whole other can of worms you don't need to worry about! :rotfl:

So yes - Misty is a good choice, as are many many others :thumbsup2
 
I have Misty. I do agree that her and Randy are very similar. I guess you just have to look at there packages to see what works best for you. I don't know Randy's website but misty is www.mistymiotto.com
 
Could anyone direct me on how to post pictures? I thought I could drag them over like on some boards but it just posts the link. I would be forever grateful!!

I wanted to show everyone my handsome future hubby :-D of course in his nintendo shirt that he will be wearing in the photo well, lol ... he is addicted to games. I just let him play. Or try to anyway.

My new love in music is 'Duffy'. Does anyone else listen to Duffy? She has older style music but all new tunes. Incredible artist! The music is listenable!!

I am nervous about getting my wedding date after reading the post about the lottery. I really don't care what weekend it is as long as it's in September.

I am off to see some American Idols tonight -- Alaina Witaker's mom is a good friend of my mother's and she is riding with us to see her daughters in concerts. Brooks and Dunn and Kelly Pickler were supposed to make it but either Brooks or Dunn got sick, who knows which one lmao. Don't know why Kelly Pickler won't show, I was looking forward to seeing her. But Katie Malloy will be there. It should be a good show. It's an hour away. If I get pics I'll post them on this thread.

I am frustrated job hunting. I found out by several employers I don't have the skills necessary for the jobs I want even though I have a degree and work history. I'm going to take some computer courses this summer and work part time and hopefully by the fall I will land a good job.

Everyone have a great weekend!
 
To post pics you have to upload them to an online photosharing service. Photobucket is very easy to use. After you have uploaded copy the IMG code. (it's the last code under the pictures) and paste it into your post. Good Luck!
 
IndyBride - thanks so much! I'll tinker around with that tomorrow; we're getting ready to go to the concert tonight. I really appreciate your hint!!
