Ok, so I've seen the thread where someone already started posting their Wedding Journal, so I decided I'd post mine.
My DFTW Planner is Juliana. She is great! I love talking with her. I know I'm driving her crazy with all my questions though!
The wedding is May 17, 2007 at the Wedding Pavilion. With a sm Cake & Champagne Reception following. My time I had wanted was taken so I got the 2:30 time and will have to find something for my guest to do between the Reception and the Desert Reception at Epcot. (I wanted to wear my gown in the parks!)
I have been penciled in for Randy Chapman Photography. (I saw a few of the girls pics on here and my mother told me I just HAD to call him!)
I purchased my Gown online and was very nervous...as it turned out, it was Perfect! It was custom made to my measurments and the gown fit beautifully! I also had them make a Veil to match...the detail is amazing! I love it and am so glad I wasn't too scared to do it!
I've decided my Theme is going to be Princesses & Princes! A Very Royal affair!
My mother and I are putting together welcome bags and have found a site that has the cotton canvas bags for $.79!!! We are going to stamp or paint them with a Disney Image. (I haven't found the one yet!) Inside the bags we're going to put some Tide-to-Go pens, fold-up laundry bags (at least mom said she might have found these cheap enough to go in them), maybe some chapstick w/an SPF so they don't burn their lips!, a few other items (we're open for suggestions) and of course a detailed list of Dates & Times of all the fun that will take place while we are there!
As of yet, we are arriving the day before the wedding and will have a Rehersal dinner at Ohana's or Le Cellier. (We thought we might go to Le Cellier if we go to Ohona between the Reception and Epcot so that we don't have to change out of our formal wear-Since that's the whole point for me!) I'm trying to wear this thing for as long as I can, especially since it's the only time I get to!
As of right now, my mom and family have decided to drive so that they can pack stuff and take it without having to worry about it getting lost with the luggage, or getting damaged or having to pay for shipping. She might even bring my gown with her so that I don't have to worry about how to get it on the plane without balling it up to fit in my carry-on! (But I still have to find a way to get it to her!!! I live in Virginia, and she is in Louisiana!) (Will be going home for either xmas or a shower sometime after xmas, but not sure how to pack the gown to bring with me!)
Mom and I have been online looking for all sorts of deals and ideas to make this as magical as we can...
My stepdad and my DF are ready to 
!!! But they love us! 
I'm just glad they understand, that is after we Re-explain it to them again and again!
The contract was sent but there was a mistake so they said they might have to send me a new one. I can't wait!!! I'm getting really excited and I'm so glad we found this board to share the excitement with!
Having trouble finding he BM dresses! My best friend might be preg at the time and if she is, she'll be REALLY preg! And my lil sister is the other and she's tiny! Now try to find something in the Mat. dress section that looks good with the tiny girl dress section!!! So, I might just get a dress in the same or similar color or the both of them. My only big problem so far is finding the dress I have created in my head! Oh well, I'm sure it's out there!
Well, that's it for now... I'll update as I go!

As soon as we get a more definite look, I'll post pics. Mom is the one doing those, so she's the one we are going to have to wait on! 
But oh well! She took a few pics of me in my wrinkely gown that the train kept falling off. (Like I said she was in a bit of a hurry so, we didn't have a lot of time to fix things and put things here and there,etc..) So, when I get it all fixed, I'll take some more pics and post those!
