WOOOHOOO!!!
After a couple months of agonizing over our ceremony and reception choices our coordinator called us to say that she's received our signed contract and we'll be hearing from our planner soon!!!
OK,
I'm not sure how good I'll be in updating this post but I'll try...
Here are what we've determined so far:
Ceremony: SBP 5pm
Reception: American Adventure Parlor 6:00~8:30
DP: Italy west 8:30~9:30/10pm
Hair and Make Up: Beaute Speciale
Photographer: Root photography (thanks to Lurkyloo...
)
We haven't figured out our videographer or officiant yet.
I emailed Carollyn allen through their website but I haven't received any response yet. It's a little discouraging.
Anyways...
I think I've posted our story in several posts already, answering to people's questions. But I'll try to summarize it quickly here.
How we met
When I just started my new job I had to go to the IT dept to get my ID and password set up. I've seen him then and thought he was cute... but we were both involved and I didn't think twice about it. Every now I then I had to work with people in his dept and about 4 years later we became friends... Both our relationships dissolved and we decided to hang out. A little more than a year later we officially are together (since we work in the same company we didn't really want to annouce it...
). We've been together ever since. We are very different in temperament but I think that's why we match. He is mostly calm and I am mostly frantic... 
I worry about the littlest things and he is so laidback it's funny. Since he's a puter geek he has very little romantic bones in his body (see proposal story below and you'll find out)...
But he makes me laugh, hold my hands when I'm sick, sits with me through all the chick flicks I want to see and goes with me to all my disney trips... hehe...overall a sweetiepie.
How did he propose?
Oh lordy... this one is a doozy...
We've been talking about getting an engagement ring for awhile. I knew it was coming but man... did he surprise me. We were getting ready to go on our disney world/disney cruise vacation. I was rushing to get ready and figured that I have just enough time to have a quick shower. After I was done, hair dripping wet... still running around like crazy... he stopped me and gave me a hug. Of course at that point I said very nicely "What are you doing? We have to get ready! We're leaving in 15 mins.... AAAAA!!!" (ok something like that).
The he proceeded to say "I have something for you..." walked into his room and came out with a little blue box... Guess what my response was?... "Now? ... You're doing this now?... "
Then he explained that he didn't want to bring the nicely wrapped box into the airport because he was afraid they'll make him open it at the security check... And he was not going to put it in the baggage claim because he is not going to lose it.... I was still in in shock and had to ask what he wanted me to do... (yeah... real einstein here...). He said I have to open it. Once I open it he popped the question. Of course I said yes.
BUT I told him that he will have to ask me again sometime during our vacation. He did really good the second time around. He asked me at the Cinderella's wishing well after fireworks. There were SO many people during the fireworks but the well area was so empty. I've been to WDW over 20 times and have never seen the place isn't that weird? I thought that was a sign... that we have "our" place instead of a place that I've been to many times.
Planning? Now I have to plan?... d'oh!!!
Ok, my family is far far away. And his is not very involved. So planning this thing is a very daunting experience. We knew we wanted to do WDW because my family will fly from far away and I wasn't going to make them come to where I live (I live in the boonies... really).
Telling my family was easy, his wasn't.
My family could afford to come alto it took a bit of coaxing to get my nieces and nephews out of school. His family is not very excited to have to fly and spend all that $. Even now they still haven't told us whether they're coming or not. But that's ok. I've come to the realization that if they didn't want to join us then it's their loss. We will still have fun and celebrate with the friends and families who loves us.
After adding the approx # of people we decided on approx 30 people.
I thought that was pretty good. Considering 80% will be my family...
I talked to DFTW and they gave me the choices.
Which we've narrowed down to the above list!
That's all for now...
I'll update some more tomorrow with how I picked out the dress, tiara, shoes, hotels
scared1: ) etc...
Hope I didn't bore you gals and guys to tears...
