Hi all! First let me say thank you everyone on the boards. I booked my Disney Wedding in July and you all have helped me make some key decisions so far. I figured it was time for me to make a PJ and stop just dropping in on occasion.
My DF and I met in highschool but we never even considered each other since I dated his bestfriend most of highschool. After college and grad school and living in a few different places we both ended up back in Atlanta. We had moved back to be near family. I came from New Orleans and thankfully moved a few weeks before Katrina. Once the storm hit things were crazy since I was the only person from my group of friends that had left before the storm. None of our phones worked and email was the only way to communicate. I spent months reconnecting friends and housed a Katrina victim for 6 months. It was quite the experience and I am grateful that my friends are safe though my heart goes out to those who lost loves ones and homes.
Anyway, since my initial 7 months back home were a whirlwind I did not start getting involved in the community until I had been back for sometime. I decided to create a myspace account and was able to reconnect with tons of old friend. My DF happened to be one of those people. We dated for about a year and he proposed last February (2007). He is Mr Romance so he gave me rose; had a limo take us around the city and to dinner; his dad gave us an old bottle of wine he was keeping for something like this which tasted amazing; and he later proposed amongst candles and rose petals. The best part was he had contacted some of my friends from highschool and college and my family, and put together a DVD with pictures and music of us growing up, meeting in HS, going our seperate ways, re-meeting on myspace, dating and then at the end he popped the questions. It was FABULOUS!!!
It took about 5 months to finally set a date due to some family emergencies but things finally calmed down enough for me to focus on the wedding. I went back and forth from having a DW to keeping it in the ATL. After seeing my insanely long guest list in ATL I made the decision to move it to the most wonderful place on earth
My site visit really sealed the deal. Pam Pearce gave a a great tour and went through everything with my mom and I. Mom was sold in about 10 minutes and is now SO excited. Also, I am a workaholic so the support Disney provides was a big selling point.
I love Disney and have collected Disney movies and paraphernalia since I was a kid. I am so excited to have my dream wedding take place.
I will try and post some pictures soon.
