Okay, I've decided to start my planning journal.
Me - Lisa - 27 Middle School Coach/PE Teacher
DF - Travis - 35 Recently Self-Employed Mrs. Bairds (Bread) Salesman
How we met: July 9, 2001. I moved to the area of Houston, TX we live in now to get away from the drama of my (loser)ex. I was two months pregnant with my son at the time. DF was my boss at the Kroger Grocery Store
and was actually mad that his boss hired a pregnant girl that would be on maternity leave during the holidays. Yeah! Thanks for the support! At the time he was married to a lovely woman that had him swimming in debt and refused to get another job - Cause she didn't go to college to work two jobs!
ANYWAYS! He and I had a good friendship, but that is about it. Our store got closed, and we were transferred to different stores. We didn't talk for about a year, but I was still friends with his sister. In May 2005 she got married I was in her wedding, and obviously he was there...and divorced! Yippee! So soon after that we officially became US.
The engagement: We were on our second trip to WDW in November 2006. Our second night there we went to Liberty Tree Tavern and then to Wishes. Travis had been picking on me all weekend about my desire to get married, engaged, etc. He would get down on his knee, look up at me, and tie his shoe.
ARGGGGHH! Anyways, during Wishes, he asked me what my wish was...duh! Keep up here buddy! After a few minutes, he said, 'Well I know there are about a million ways I could do this at Disney World, but...'
At this point I was looking in his direction to say Knock it off! and he was getting down on his knee with this super cool box (it had a light in it!), not to mention this super cool ring!
He did really good! 1.27 carats Perfect Color! (D...he's really proud of that!)set in Platinum. He said I needed a big diamond, cause as you can see, I have long fingers!
Our Wedding Day: We will be getting married at 2:30 PM on Tuesday March 18, 2008 at Sea Breeze Pointe. My son (whom Travis is adopting after the wedding
) will be Travis' best man, and my sister is my MOH. Our immediate family due to remarriage of parents, and marriage and procreation of our siblings is HUGE...and takes up the remaining 17 slots exactly! I told all sisters they aren't allowed to have anymore babies before the wedding! 
They thought it was funny, but I was serious! 
Therefore, we will be having an At Home Reception after the wedding - no ideas for that at all yet...any ideas? 
The Dress:
This is my dress. I love it...It's from Alfred Angelo. It was the first dress I tried on that I didn't feel like I was waiting for a flood in (I'm 6'2"...so that has been a life constant! )It also covers up my 10 lb. baby boy, c-section screwed up my ab muscles belly!
It is Ivory, which works best for my casper like skin!
The hair: Courtesy of the recent thread, I found my hair. DF is shorter than me, so I wanted something up, but not on top of my head making me taller.
The cake: Want this style, but with silver mickey's imprinted...not sure if I can do it yet, but we'll see!
The Bouquet: So pretty!
Other wedding stuff:
Hair and Makeup - Ana from Beaute Speciale
Photography: Randy Chapman
Officiant: Reverend Jack Day
WC: Tanis Armstrong
I think that's all for tonight...gotta pack DF's lunch he leaves for work at 1 AM
Oh! I added my sweet puppies names to my signature last night, but I'm going to post their puppy training Graduation pictures now! Kida is our Yellow Labrador Retriever, she was born November 20, 2006. Koda is our Chocolate Labrador Retriever, he was born January 17, 2007. Yes, eight weeks apart, and we got them both at five weeks old, eight weeks apart. I don't advise getting two puppies at the same time relatively, but at least we're almost out of the puppy stage totally for a long while!

and what handsome men, your son is adorable. It sounds like your DF has a good sense of humor even if he was torturing you with possible proposal situations. I had to laugh at them but I'm sure it was driving you nuts - I know I would have been going crazy. Now where did he get a ring box that lights up? That's so perfect for a firework proposal. I finally saw Wishes for the first time and was so impressed with it. What a perfect way to propose.
and the families are really starting to get excited. I think for everyone else it was just so far in the future and well, life has a way of going on...
No shoe fetish for me! Which further explains the next picture! I am wearing Ballet Slippers for the wedding...hey, they fit, they'll be comfortable and flat...remember DF is shorter than me...so anything to make me "short" is good!

threw those out really quick!
