Hello all! Im Nicole and my DF is Michael. So let start from the beginning shall we
..
We met working for Typhoon Lagoon. I was a Lifeguard/Coordinator and he was a Slide Operator. It was the beginning of the day, I was to be training slide operators. I was given a trainee, Michael. I was sadly only with him for about 30 minutes when another trainer came to take over for me. A coordinator had to go home, so I was to take over that position. I kept checking up on him for the rest of the day. Eventually he would come hang out with my friends and me. Till one day there came a bet (we all know how those can change a persons life). The bet was that guys are better at mini golf than girls, we would play a game and see who would win. The losers had to treat the winners to the Pirate and Princess Party at Magic Kingdom. The guys, Michael and S against the girls, Me and my Friend J. Well Michael needless to say the girls lost by ONE shot, mine. True to my word, I took him to P&P about 2 months later. A week after the bet Michael asked me out to see the fireworks at EPCOT. We had a franks (because they had run out of brawts ?) and beer in Germany. While we were waiting in line for our food there was a wedding party in front of us. We said it then and still say it now, that it was a sign that we would end up together. Lol We continued with a stop in France for dessert, then we watched fireworks from the balcony of Yakitori House restaurant in Japan. Our first kiss was so amazing that we saw fireworks, hee hee. By the time we went to P&P it was love. things have been great ever since. Then we felt even more blessed this year. We welcomed our son AJ on Jan 19, 2009. Our little family now is 4; we have a very big lap dog, Daisy a Greyhound.
Side story so as not to confuse you .
In June He moved back MI to go to back to school. I was to follow a month later. However sadly I received word that my niece was terminal and would not make past the year. I instead moved home to New Mexico to be with family and help my sister in this tough time. I have been home ever since.
To happier news ..
In April AJ and I made the trip up to MI to visit Michaels family and to show off the baby. Michael had made all the arraignments for us to have a dinner date on Good Friday. I was happy to have a night on the town. He was soo sweet. He made a playlist on his IPod of romantic songs, he was the perfect gentlemen. He took me to an Italian Restaurant that I had been talking about for months. We had a great dinner. After we ordered dessert I saw him fiddling with something under the table. I teased him for texting at dinner. He always teases me for having my phone around too much. I enjoyed teasing him for once. But little did I know that I caught him getting the ring ready. His whole face turned red, like I had caught him red handed. I turned to look out the window, the sun had set the sky was a really nice shade of purple. When I looked back there was a red ring box sitting in front of me. Instantly I started to cry, I opened the box .. empty. Then I heard him next to me, I turn to see him on his knee, you have to say yes first. I couldnt say anything I was so in shock that all I did was nod. He laughed and put the ring on my finger. The whole restaurant cheered, we hugged, kissed. After dinner I spent the rest of the evening calling my family and friends.
The wedding
We have finally decided to have a Disney Wedding. We have chosen the day of February 9, 2011, the day of our first date. Other than that we are still making choices. My DF wants the wedding pavilion. I want a garden setting but not sure how that will be since February can be a bit chill. Plus my mind is drawing blanks on outdoor settings at WDW. We have contacted DFTW, we received an email and are going through everything. Lots to do, but excited to finally start the planning process!!

Welcome and congrats on the engagement (and your little one)! Aww, I love your guys' story and proposal! 
Excited to hear more about your plans!!
) biased but I am totally giving my vote for purple! And I swear it has nothing to do with the fact that it's also my favorite color and/or being used as one of my wedding colors! 
im thinking im leaning more torwards purple.
My DF really loves that combo. i starting looking online for flower ideas. this is what i have found so far.
