I hope I don't upset the moderators by doing this because it's not exactly a wedding but it's a prelude to wedding topic...
My Fiance & I got engaged on November 8th, 2006 at Cinderella's Royal Table inside Cinderella Castle at WDW. i thought I might post my whole experience and then if there are any curious proposers out there who wanna do something similar... Everyone has been so helpful to me I thought I would try and give back a little. AND I love ready everyone else's TRs so I wanted to post a little of my last one!
Ok here it goes...and hopefully the pictures work too
Prior to November, maybe in July.
Me and my then boyfriend were talking about getting engaged and started to shop for rings, then I decided to tease him and try to get him to guess where my dream place would be to get engaged. After two weeks he finally guesses in front of Cinderella's castle. Now we were planning a trip that November with my parents but I didn't know if it would be then or not. Then the ring brochures started coming and then he started slipping when he said things and then I really didnt mean to but I kinda tricked my best friend into saying "I already seen what your ring looks like" So basically I knew it was happening, might take the suspense out of it for some people but I still didnt know when and where? Jump to....
November 8th, 2006
This was my first time in WDW so i planned everything and I learned never to do that again on a vacation. It was my first time at the Magic Kindom and that night we had reservations for Cinderella's Royal table so I woke up thinking Matt would do it since we were going to be at Magic Kingdom during the fireworks or something. Now that morning Matt & I got into a huge fight ( I don't even remember what it was about now) so I wasn't thinking it would still happen so once we actually went inside to eat i considered our day done and it wasn't going to that day.
Well, first we were seated right at the window inside the restaurant and had the BEST waitress ever! She was such a doll! I loved her and she kept giving me stuff to take home throughout dinner. She gave me a copy of the menu for Cinderella's Royal table, signature cards for the Fairy Godmother, Suzie, and Perla, and confetti of the castle and the pumpkin coach for my scrapbook. I really had no idea why at the time but we were also seated at the window seat so me, my fiance, and my parents got to watch wishes from inside the castle, it was absolutely beautiful! I kept bragging about how I timed it right too by making the reservations at this time to see the fireworks.
Well everything went normal until dessert time when the waitress brought out a domed dessert plate and said she had 'a special gift from your prince charming and i'll let him open it' So Matt opened it and there was an engagement ring on a rose inside a glass slipper! I was so shocked he made all these arrangements to do something extra special - I found out later that this is basically a package Disney offers, but I still wasn't disappointed one bit - I expected him to propose at the wishes fountain or the grotto or during fireworks but he actually planned this whole thing out and I thought it was very sweet.
So he takes the ring out from the slipper and proposes and as he does a photographer came out of no where and took a bunch of pictures. I was so excited to say yes! Then they brought out special gift champagne glasses for us for all of us to do a toast and brought as out a White Chocolate slipper dessert - I think it was maybe the best thing I ever tasted. It looked so pretty but I was so glad I did!
For some reasons i didn't cry, but I laughed hysterically because I kept hearing other peopls say things like 'look over there' and 'oh my god he's proposing' so I kept laughing because we were the center of attention.
Then the characters came out for dinner, which are Suzie and Perla, the mice form Cinderella and the Fairy Godmother does her show too and the characters made a big fuss of us and Perla I think flirted with Matt and Suzie kept ohh and ahh over my ring - it was too cute. And then the Fairy Godmother did her show with the castle lights inside and made the announcements like brithdays and such and announced to everyone inside at the restaurant we were getting married. It was so cute!
But the funniest thing was the security guard outside in MK who let my mom take a bunch of pictures because we were the last in the park and main street was empty. She just said well i wanna see the ring and you can't tell anyone I'm leaning on this rail because I'm not allowed to then you can take a ton of pics so my mom takes a pic of her leaning on the rail looking at my ring - I found this funny.
Well that's my Engagement report to share with everyone and if anyone has any questions about Disney engagements, I'll try to help!
