This is going to be my planning journal for my vow renewal that my hubby and I are going to do at WDW.
I guess I should give some back story to our relationship.
My hubby and I are 23 and 24, and we got married October 14, 2006.
A lot of people will say that A) we are really young to be married and B) why are we thinking of vow renewal so soon.
Well my DH proposed December 17,2005 at my office's annual Christmas Ball. Well that summer, he decided to do delayed enlistment in the USAF, which meant we needed to get married soon so with 3 months to spare, we had to plan a wedding.
We chose October 14, becuase it was a saturday to start, and because we started dating January 14, my birthday is July 14 and valentine's day is Feb. 14. He figured by throwing another 14 into the mix, he couldn't screw up any important days.
We both really wanted a disney wedding (even though he'd never been, but after seeing the planning video and some wedding shows on tv he liked the idea) but that would not work because my family is very important to me and they just don't travel. Also the heat would not be good for my grandmother who is the most important thing in this world to me, if she couldn't have seen me get married then I wouldn't have even bothered with a wedding at all. Also the fact that we had 3 months to plan and pull off a wedding and I knew that would be impossible at wdw. A disneymoon would have to do.
All in all my wedding was really special to me because I got my cake from the bakery that my grandmother got her cake from, and I even got married in the same church as she did 47 years earlier. That was extremely special to me. I also got a night time in the DC area at a Marriott reception that I never thought I would be able to get. I never thought I would be able to have a fancy night time hotel reception. Especially in this area. It's so expensive, but there aren't many other options.
Another reason I want to renew our vows is because I didn't have time to loose any weight for my first wedding. I met him at a size 6, and ballooned to a size 16 because of medication and sickness and came back to a 12/14. I want pictures that I actually feel pretty in because I felt so down and ugly on my wedding day.
We don't know a date yet, but I am thinking it would be cool to renew after 1,000 days of marriage. I wanted to be proposed to after 1,000 days of dating, and he almost hit that date.
Since the hubby didn't go USAF ( that is a LONG story in itself) we have plenty of time to plan and I am in no hurry really. I think we are going to go down to wdw and renew with just the two of us. We already had a big wedding with family and friends, now we just want something sweet and simple and they two os us with no stress and hoopla.
I know a couple of options for dresses that I want. Once I figure out how to post pictures I will get them up on here.
And everyone is so NICE!!! 
It sucks...I want to lose my weight, but i'm incredibly lazy and busy...lol...it's hard to find the time to workout! However...I do want to lose it and I want to be skinny for when our adoption comes through and for when the time comes for our Vow Renewal! I want to look fabulous in my dress and to have pictures that I am proud of! (not that i'm not proud of my wedding pictures now of course...lol)
It's sad that I let these people get to me) 
Have you seen some of those dresses? 
3 out of the 4 dresses you have chosen are the same ones I was choosing between not that long ago, the exact same 3!!! All from Alfred Angelo, correct! 
I chose the 3rd one and I will tell you it looks better in person than in the picture. It's gorgeous! I love it. I have a VR journal and you can check out more pics on that dress too.
