Ummm DWT- Disney Touches Wedding??? I don't know. I am not having a Walt Disney World wedding, but my wedding will have some Disney Touches in Iowa? Also, WDWH- Walt Disney World Honeymoon...mabye you figured that already. 
Well ok, here it goes! Ive loved reading through other peoples trip reports so much that Ive decided to try one of my own. Now, I KNOW it is not going to be as exciting or grand as others first of all, I am not getting married at Disneyworld, but I am honeymooning in Disneyworld (woot woot still excited lol). I AM going to have a Disney themed wedding though.
The reason that I decided to post this today is because I BOOKED MY PLANE AND ROOM-ONLY RESERVATIONS LAST WEEK. Woot woot!
Sorry had to get that out. Yup, we are officially going to Disneyworld for our honeymoon from January 8th-15th. We werent sure if we were going to be able to financially afford it, but decided we needed to try anyway. LOL, doesnt that sound grand? That is part of the reason why we are waiting until January to go instead of October. Also, my Fiancé doesnt get his week of vacation until January (it will be a year from when he first started working).
General Information:
My Fiancés name is Steve. We have been together for over a year. We are both 24 years old. He is an auto mechanic and Im an elementary/special education teacher (substituting at the moment). We are getting married in Iowa on October 25th, 2008 in my hometown church. My colors are eggplant (dark purple) and wheat (the color and the plant). The wedding is going to have Disney touches.
About Us:
How we met:
Well, Steve was at an all boy birthday party, and I crashed it with a friend of mine. We ended up staying for quite a few hours (they wouldnt let us leave!). During the next couple of weeks I went on a couple of double dates but not with Steve. My friend and Steve actually simi-hooked up for a little bit. I was simi-dating another guy ummm Ill call him Mr. X. Neither relationship worked out. Well, my friend (the one who kind of dated Steve just didnt work out for the two of them. He was too much of a good church boy for her) and another friend really worked at getting Steve and I together. Up until this point, I had really tried not to get involved in a friend dating another friends friend. Even though it didnt get very serious. They finally they set-up a triple date (and I must say I didnt know it was a triple date until the night or two before) on April 12, 2007. After that date though, there have been very few weeks sense April 12th that we havent seen each other.
Rough Stuff:
I just had to mention this. Steve is really an amazing guy. He is probably one of the most patient and understanding guys I have ever and will ever meet. Here is the deal. Years ago, something pretty terrible happened to me that makes romantic male relationships really hard. Steve is actually the first and only real relationship Ive ever been in. I had kind of tried before, but it was just too hard. The first sign of affection from a guy that was even a little more than a look made me run. Steve is one of the most patient guys that I have ever known. This guy waited two months, until I was completely comfortable, to touch me more than holding my hand (even around the shoulder, head on my lap), three and a half months until I was comfortable enough for him to kiss me (third time was the charm lol), 5 months for me to say I love you back to him (he had said it month 4), and there have been a couple other firsts There were quite a few times this year when I became overwhelmed, and Ive ashamed to admit I wanted to run, but he sensed it and moved back for me (does that makes sense would go back to the hand holding stage). I am crying right now writing this. I just wanted to let you guys a taste of why I love this guy so much. I know every woman loves her man for different reasons, but I really think I found a unique one.
The engagement:
It was a beautiful day one of the first we have had for awhile. Steve took me on a motorcycle ride. He took me out to a park, and we just stood around there for awhile talking. It didn't seem like we were going or doing anything. I asked him, "So, what are we doing?" He said, "I don't know." I then asked, "Where are we going." His reply was, "Well, I guess right here is ok, " and he got down on one knee. He told me he loved me, got out this BEAUTIFUL ring, and asked me to marry him. I cant remember if I said yes before or after I tackled him. I do remember him telling me to get up because I was making this hard. It was PERFECT! Everything was perfect.

and we would love to here your plans!
I do have to say though that prices of wheat products (i.e. flour) have gone up a little. (I think it's due to the fact that farmers were planting more corn than wheat in order to get into the boom for ethanol production) I don't know for sure yet how planting is going to go this year, but I'm pretty sure wheat is still cheaper than fresh flowers! 
They dont have anyone hired yet! Ok, at first the extra overtime money was great, but we have usually only been seeing each other once a week. Every once in awhile Steve gets antsy and drives down to Iowa City to see me mid-week (when he gets off work at 3:00 and doesnt have to work until 11:00). 
Ive got this ring on my finger and I havent seen my Fiance sense LAST Sunday (not even this Sunday
his day off feel on a Sunday and then the next Saturday).
My DF is a mechanic too! He used to have horrible hours (7:30-6) but now he only works until 4. So I can relate to you about the hours. A month will go by fast! And, the next thing you know, you'll be married!!
