Okay bear with me here, I have been reading all your planning journals for the last 2 months and have decided to do one myself.
How we met
My DF (Tony) and me (Sharon) have been working together for the last 11 years but only started getting really friendly about 7 years ago. We started going out as friends in a group at first but eventually that group just turned into the 2 of us (do you think someone was trying to tell us something). We eventually decided we wanted to be with each other but I am telling you, that first kiss when you have been close friends with each other all that time is pretty weird lol, I couldn't kiss him for laughing, needless to say we got over that stage pretty quickly . Tony moved in with me about 8 months later and the rest is history as they say.
The Proposal
We were in Orlando in October 2006 for our annual trip and what I didn't know at the time was that Tony was planning on proposing to me. On 6th October which was also my birthday we spent the day in Magic Kingdom, having a character breakfast at the Crystal Palace which was really fantastic. After a long day at the park we went back to our hotel room to get showered and changed to go out for my birthday dinner. I am standing in front of the mirror putting on my make-up when I turned around and there is DF down on one knee. Before he could even get any words out I was crying . Needless to say I said yes lol. I found out later that he had been planning on proposing in front of the castle but it was very busy that day and he chickened out lol.
The Date
We are getting married in the Wedding Pavilion on 18th December 2007 at 2.30pm. It is going to be a very small wedding as there is no way my Mom will fly that far although I am still trying to talk her around. Attending with be my Bridesmaid (Rhonda), Best Man (Paul), Flower Girl (Amber, also Rhonda's Niece), Ring Bearer (Zak, Rhonda's Nephew), watchers lol! are Michelle and Derek (Amber and Zaks Mom and Dad). We are having a small reception at the Commanders Terrace at the Grand Floridian and then onto O'Hana for Dinner. We have decided to go with Randy Chapman for our photography and use our Disney Photographer for another time during the trip.
My Dress
As every other girl in the planet knows I always had an idea in my head of what my dress was going to look like. The minute I tried on this dress I knew it was 'the one', nothing else compared.
And this is what I look like in it, no-where near like the previous piccie but I am working on it.
Close up
Bridesmaid
After making Rhonda try on about a million dresses we decided on this one.
Flowergirl
I thought this dress was very sweet as Amber is only 7 years old and will look like a little princess is this. Ignore the head piece as it came free with the dress
DF's Tartan
I have bought DF the whole kit and kaboodle when it comes to his outfit. He will be wearing the MacThomas tartan which is his own clan tartan and goes with the bridesmaid really nice, best man will be wearing this also. I don't have a picture of the actual kilt but here is the tartan.
Tiara
As soon as I saw this tiara I knew it was mine. It was another Ebay bargain, don't you just love Ebay
Shoes
Now if you haven't already guessed you will know by now how much I love my bling and also how much I NEEDED these shoes when I saw them.
Hair
I am still trying to decided whether I want an updo and long and flowing, here is what I am going with so far.
Flowers
For my Flower girl I am going with the Floral Wand and I am still undecided what I would like my Bridesmaid to have but here is what I have decided for me. I am unsure on what colour to go for on the flowers but I do know that I would like some of the hidden crystal mickeys in there.
Jewellery
Another Ebay bargain here and I think it goes with my tiara perfectly.
Well that's it for now folks, your feedback would be excellent as I am trying to plan all of this myself and to be honest with you it is a bit stressful.
