Well, I'm starting my planning journal a little late, but I just found this fabulous forum so I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon!
Wedding Date: May 18, 2008
Location: Wedding Pavilion @ 10:00am
Reception: California Grill @ 11:00am
Wedding Travel: We are local, so no travel involved... staying @ the Beach Club after the wedding.
Other details:
Floral: Disney and Town Center Florist
Photography: Randy Chapman
Wedding Coordinator: Karen Heyn
A little history:
DF and I are both Cast Members, we met on Main Street USA where we were both working in Merchandise. For reasons that are more apparent if you have met us personally, everyone we worked with thought we would be a great couple. Three weeks after I started working in the area we still had never seen each other. So DF and a girl we worked with came up with a brilliant plan for us to meet, or rather, a "brilliant" plan for him to check me out unnoticed and see if he was interested. They conspired to get me to walk out of the front of the firehouse, where I was working at the time and give directions so that he could check me out from across the street. Unfortunately, the girl who was supposed to act like a lost tourist and get me to move out of the store botched it and ended up blurting out "There's this guy across the street who wants to check you out, can you stand outside for a second?" Not really knowing how else to react I stepped outside and waved. DF waved back and, realizing he was busted, came over and introduced himself.
The Proposal:
DF proposed on our 2 year anniversary after dinner @ the Gaylord Palms. I was not expecting anything that day so I was completely surprised. And not only had DF totally surprised me, he had spoken with my parents and they sent him the center diamond for my e-ring which was used in e-rings for my mom and grandma and had actually come from a necklace that belonged to my great-grandma!
The Wedding:
Since DF and I are both Disney Lifers we knew that a DFTW was what we wanted, we had already been to one DFTW @ the Living Seas, and we actually attended one the weekend we got engaged @ the Grand Floridian. We wanted something different, and originally planned to use the Adventurers Club. Unfortunately we had to change do to space limitations, but as soon as we saw the CG we fell completely in love with it! The change of venue let us change our theme completely and we are now centering everything around the song "When you wish upon a star". Even though we have both moved on to other jobs with Disney we are still naming our tables after the shops on Main street remembering where we met, and we are thrilled that we will actually be able to see the place we met from both the ceremony and the reception location!
P.s. Will add pictures once my post count is high enough!

I can't wait to read more!

A girl can dream, right? We probably wouldn't be Disney lovers if we didn't believe that...
