I am so excited to finally start one of these!!! I have gotten so much information from these boards and I hope that I can help any other Disney bride that is in the process of planning their wedding. I want to start off by letting everyone know that my fiancé and I signed our Disney contract this week and it was pretty intense. 16 pages of every possible thing that could go wrong. When we finished reading it I asked him if he really wanted to do this because once we sign there is no going back!
We will be getting married on December 9, 2011 at the Wedding Pavilion at 10:00 AM. Then we will have the reception at the Whitehall Room. At night we will be having a dessert party at the UK Lochside.
We had a hard time trying to decide if we wanted an Escape Wedding or a Wishes Wedding. We both love Sunset Pointe and that was our dream location but in order to be married there we had to exclude so many people. We agreed that this wedding is just going to be our immediate family because of $$$$$$. But of course when people are excluded then problems arise in the families. In the end we decided this. We have a total of 26 guests + us. This is the number that the wedding will stay at. We actually just wanted to go by ourselves and we were completely fine with that but when I mentioned this to my grandpa (he is like my father) he said he really wanted to be there. We could keep it small and just have him and my grandma there. Then thats when we decided on an Escape Package because we would have to invite my fiancés mom and dad. I know this number of people still qualifies for a memories package but my grandparents are raising my nephew and this means he would be there, and my fiancé has 4 siblings so now the Memories package was out of the question. It wasnt until the Christmas holiday that we made the decision to switch to the Wishes package. My grandparents raised me and I have always been very close to my aunts and uncle. They were sad that they would not be there for the big day but they were ok with it. Peter and I talked about upgrading so the people who have actually impacted our lives could be there. We spoke to each member of our family over the holiday and asked them if we did change our package if they would be able to come. Everyone was excited and agreed to join us on our big day! We are thrilled for this new outcome and are looking forward to our dream wedding.
How we Met
Peter and I met during our senior year of high school. We had the same circle of friends and one Saturday we both ended up at a skateboarding competition because a few of our friends were competing. We started talking and I mentioned that I was cold. He went to the car and got his sweater for me. I was surprised by this nice gesture. We spent the rest of the day together talking, laughing, and getting to know one another. Something I should mention is that Peter has long hair. On our first date I went over to his house to straighten it. Lol
Peter is 24 and I am 23. We have been together for 6 years. We both share a love for Disney. I am thrilled that he wants this Disney wedding just as much as I do. We actually saw that wedding special with David Tutera and when it was over we looked at each other and said we would be getting married there! I am a senior in college and will be graduating this May! I will be getting my bachelors in History with a certification to teach. This semester I will be doing my student teaching, I am soooooo nervous. Peter is also a senior and will be graduating at the end of summer.
Engagement
Over the summer my family went on a vacation to Disney World. I later found out after he proposed that he asked for my grandfathers permission before they got on Mission Space at Epcot. Peter said he was nervous but when he asked that my grandpa said that he was fine with it and then they were off into space. The next day he asked my grandmother for her permission before Fantasmic. I was off buying a pretzel. When he asked her she started crying and Peter said he got paranoid because he thought I was already coming back. My family loves Peter. He is a great guy. The next day we were at the Magic Kingdom and we had lunch reservations inside the castle. Peter and I ate there the previous summer and he knew how much I loved the place. After we were done eating Peter started to tell me how much he loved me. I didnt take this as any different because he is usually romantic. He said that he enjoyed the past 5 years that we had spent together and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. I heard trumpets playing then I turned around and there was our server with a plate. He took the lid off and there was a glass slipper with a ring!!!!!! I cried like a baby!!!!! Something that should be mentioned is that I am not an emotional person, so when my family saw me in tears everyone was pretty shocked. I said yes and now we have a Disney wedding to plan!
