Meghan and Mikes At Home Wedding/Disneymoon9/18/10**THE DRESS

So Friday afternoon we get to NYC and I try and remind myself that hes probably going to propose to me and hes probably a nervous wreck so i should try and remain calm and not snap at him if he does something rediculous....but then again i was tired and getting a cold..so needless to say the morning was not going so great.

Mike and I get off the subway on Lexington and we start heading for the hotel...i ask him the name of it....he forgets for a few minutes....The Radisson....okay whats the cross street since the entrance is on the side street...no clue...meanwhile i keep running over my ankles with my suitcase :sad2:

we get to the hotel and check in..room is ready...yey ...we go upstairs....its someone else's room :confused3 back downstairs we go....finally we get it straightened out and drop our luggage off......and i want to go find food bc im STARVING...well we took a left not a right in trying to find food so now im angry and im like forget it ill die of hunger lets go to the zoo...its not like 2pm, and we have tickets to the Little Mermaid at 8pm that night.....
...we get to the zoo and mike is like oh the zoo cool atleast we know where to go once we eat :headache: did you not listen..of course not...i snapped and was like whatever......so he buys me an ice cream and we go to the zoo...i calm down as much as i can......

its now like 315 and hes like how about we go to the disney store for a few minutes then head to times square and take a walk around then get dinner at the olive garden then go back and get ready for the show....:scared1: no way i said we dont have time...pick what you want to do (side note this is like my millionth time in NYC, this is his second, and last time we went for a day...so i really like to let him pick because i want him to see whatever is important to him) and hes like no its up to you ill do anything.....gritting my teeth...NO mike you pick...and he was like fine lets go to the disney store...so im like okay, then i think in my head well if we go today we can probably spend a good chunk of time in there and may not have to go back tomorrow...so now ive started to calm down....at the same time i look down and i see his pocket BULGING...omg omg omg...i think im going to be sick...thats what kept going through my head..

..so we get to the disney store and hes like come up here and im like no i dont want my picture taken in front of it ( i hate photos) and hes like really are you sure? and im like mike seriously can we just go inside please...and hes like come on and im like mike seriously can we go in...
...then he gets down on a knee and said if you dont want your picture taken with me will you atleast say you will marry me.

:dance3:

omg no way omg omg Holy ***..yes...
....Now mike goes to put the ring on and he had to ask me to get off th grate because he was afraid he was going to drop the ring down the grate..and he got the ring to my knuckle and was like it doesnt fit....i moved his hand and slid it on, i was like uhm actually its loose :rotfl:

so everyone standing in that area of 5th ave got to see....


so thats our story....
 
so now im still in a weird state, i mean as much as i knew everything was coming and i was pretty sure he was going to do it im still suprised and its weird

and i dont know what to do with myself, i dont know where to start or anything...im just like uh

:bride:

lol
 
YAY!!!! :banana::yay::woohoo:

i'm so excited for you!!! I want to see the ring!!! post pics!!!:cutie:

You must be sooo excited.... It soooo doesn't matter if you expected it or not because until it happens it does really hit you. Its so funny how you saw it in his pants pocket and got nervouse. I saw it in DF's pocket too and I had to wait ALL day for it!!!:lmao:

Can't wait for you start planning!
 

Congrats on your engagement! DF (also a Mike) proposed in NYC as well. But we stopped in the disney store afterwards, hehe.

Don't worry I can be "sassy" to my Mike as well.

Can't wait to hear all the wedding details.
 
Ok so the excitement is starting to wear off and its time for the planning...

i emailed about 5 or 6 venues today requesting info for their prices and packages....
.... 2 of them have already come back saying they are booked and the only available dates for saturdays that september are the 4th (labor day) and the 11th (we all know that)
:scared1: i called my mom in tears! im seriously already freaking out....

so i emailed the one place i fell in love with by photos and hopefully my date is open and if it is ill request to see it maybe this week and then go from there...we dont have numbers yet...we are waiting on df's family...
..now i totally understand its so fast, i wasnt expecting to really need to do this until sometime next month...
...but my 2 photographers i fell in love with are also booked....COME ON PEOPLE GIVE ME A BREAK!
its not my fault df was holding onto the ring and wouldnt give it to me :laughing:


so the stress is starting but ill be okay...ill figure something out....


edit----another venue is booked...the one i fell in love with

on a side note i have colors in mind (blue and silver) and i tried to ask df what he thought for colors...since he knows pink is my favorite..he said what about pink and white....and i said no white are you crazy! and he goes oh right its after labor day huh.....:rotfl2: i was like nononono only the bride wears white silly! he got all embarassed and told me not to ask questions if i was just going to laugh at him :rolleyes1 i couldnt help it he just looked so helpless when i was laughing at him

:lmao::lmao::lmao:

You just had me cracking up!!! DF and I went trough the SAME thing when we were trying to plan a home wedding. And we started looking in Feb/March :sad2: Its crazy how fast these brides grab venues and vendors! What places are you looking at? If any of them are the same places we were looking at i might still have information on them.

And how sweet for DF to bring up using pink in the wedding... even if he didn't know you can have anyone else in white!:rotfl:
 
Congrats on picking a place! Thats a huge thing you have done, you must feel very releived! Where did you end up choosing btw?
 
Love your PJ so far, so exciting!

I don't understand why people have to be mean, I am glad you are continuing the PJ, it's good therapy :goodvibes

YEA for getting engaged, that is a cute story. :cool1:

Look forward to reading more. . .
 
Hey guess where i was today!!...... give up???...... Stoneham! :drive:

DF's company he works for is based out of stoneham. He goes all over the place to do electrical work but every now and then he needs to check in with his boss. Since we're on vacation all next week he needed to leave his work van there to get serviced so i had to pick him up. When he got in the car i said "OMG meghan lives in Stoneham!" he goes "whose meghan??" :rotfl: I told him you were another DIS bride. I then started looking into all the cars we passed and he said "what are you doing??" and i said " looking for her!!! DUH!" :upsidedow

So yea, just wanted to let you know i was in your neck of the woods... hope you're not stressing too much today!:goodvibes
 
ok so i though i posted yesterday but apparently it didnt go through..

...haha so okay oh stoneham...gutta love it..yeh i think you mentioned the company a while ago? its on elm street? like 2 minutes up the street from me! (not suprising since stoneham definately isnt that big)
..i wouldnt have been there though, because i was too busy looking at my venue that i ended up choosing...Andover Country Club :banana::banana: I love it, its so pretty! im so excited!
