Hey everyone!![good vibes :goodvibes :goodvibes](http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/goodvibes.gif)
A Little About Us
DF and I got engaged in late May 2010.
I'm a soon-to-be patent attorney (fingers crossed that I passed the Bar!) who works for a virtual law firm based in Savannah. So I work from a home office and absolutely love it! DF works for the Geek Squad and plays hockey.
The Proposal
We met in November 2009 and were only dating 6 months when he proposed in May. I knew he was the one I was going to marry, but I didn't anticipate his proposing until after the Bar exam in July and my brother's wedding in August. When I went away on a work trip in May DF used the opportunity to go ring shopping. He was planning on waiting until our birthdays in July, but he is like a little kid and just couldn't wait. He proposed 2 days after I came home. I was truly surprised! I started crying and our Chihuahua started licking my tears. We put the ring on the wrong hand and sent pics to all our family.
Wedding Plans
We knew we wanted a destination wedding, but went back and forth on the location for a while. Disney was always in the back of my mind, but I thought it would be way to pricey for our budget. After getting some proposals from beach resorts, we quickly realized Disney was actually more affordable. Long story short, we are now set on having a Wishes Wedding!
We started putting together our list of guests thinking we were looking at 50 people, but after getting the lists from our family, our little wedding has quickly grown to 100!
We are leaning towards a date in October 2011 now. There are a lot of birthdays and other anniversaries to work around, but hopefully we can find something that works. I like the idea of 11.11.11, but Im concerned there will be a lot of other weddings on that day and getting good outside vendors will be hard. The weather is cooler in November, but the sun sets around 5:30 so there will be no time to take photos after a 5PM ceremony. Decisions, decisions, decisions!
We made our first phone call to Disney today and are waiting to talk to a consultant. What questions do I need to ask? I feel so out of my comfort zone!![Confused :confused: :confused:](http://www.disboards.com/data/smilies/confused.gif)
I am working on the "will you be my BM cards" and then it is time to go dress shopping! Wow, there is so much to do!!
