Hi! I've been lurking around these boards for quite a while, so I thought it was time to start my own PJ. I really appreciate all of the other brides that have kept theirs up and given us pictures. I've gotten a lot of great ideas and tips from you!!
Quick stats:
Wedding date - January 8, 2009
We picked the 8th (a Thursday) for two reasons. One is that 8 is a lucky number in Chinese culture and I'm half Chinese. The other is that we're running the WDW marathon on Jan 11th, so we're sort of killing two birds with one stone. Plus, the weather should be pretty nice down there and the parks won't be too crowded.
Guest List: 60? (We're inviting 72...we wanted 40 originally...hopefully a whole lot of them will be busy that day...)
Ceremony - Wedding Pavillion (Wishes wedding)
Cocktails - Grand Floridian, Whitehall Room
Dinner/Dancing - Grand Floridian, St. Augustine ballrooms
I actually wasn't crazy about the GF ballrooms at first, since they're sort of square and boring, but my grandparents will be attending our wedding and they're both in their 80s. We wanted to make sure that they would be able to get around as easily as possible, and with wheelchairs provided by DFTW we'll be able to move them over easily from the ceremony to the reception. Plus, the lobby is going to make for some fantastic pictures!
Photographer - Root Photography
Hotels we picked for our guests - Polynesian Resort, Carribean Beach, All-Star Music
That's all that's planned so far! I can't believe I have almost a year to wait. I don't know if I'm going to make it...
Us:
Kyle and I met while we were working at WDW in the college program. I was a busser at the All-Star Music cafeteria and he was an attendant at Pleasure Island. We actually met because he was the roommate of my (then) boyfriend, who worked at Animal Kingdom. No funny business, we were both in committed relationships at the time. We became great friends and over time - and through two hard breakups - we became best friends. 3 years after we met I moved to Ohio to go to law school and be near him and now 2.5 years later, we're engaged!
We're both Disney fanatics and we have a most impressive collection of Disney junk. His family and friends are pretty into the Disney thing, but it's foreign for my family and friends so a big part of the wedding is going to be making sure that people have a good time during their first (and possibly only) trip to WDW.
