So here I go!
I think this is a great way to have all my ideas in one spot and maybe help each other with 2015 weddings.
Who we are:
We live in a Montreal (Quebec, Canada) suburb. Nicolas is 30 and I am 32 ( I know, I like young ones...mouhahaha). No kids yet but soon as living in a suburb at our age without kids is not seen well...lol Joking, but yeah, I think the time is ticking...
I can't really talk about the whole engagement fairytale thing because weddings were never his thing. Quebecers are not much of a wedding type people anymore...I'm from an Italian family and weddings always have been present in my life but I told him that if he wants to found a family one day, we have to do it the right way! he just finds it's a huge waste of money...
Myself 10yrs ago, I wanted the big Italian wedding with the silly balloon arch over the honour table, having that huge dessert table and the late snack table that all huge Italian wedding shave - but this is not what Nick wants and I want something we both want. And! I am not with the same boyfriend I was 10 years ago.
In 2012, we went to WDW for a whole week with his parents and we were like real kids. Last year, we went to FL and a pit stop at Universal and of course a pit stop at Downtown Disney.
Disney always finds a way to put a smile on our faces and we feel like real kids again.
So, after a few months of bugging him for a ring he finally got me one last year in February. I chose it on the internet at a fabulous price and it's just what I wanted. I couldn't live with myself if I had anything I can lose that would be worth alot...Also, I'm in a competitive civil cheerleading squad so I need to take my jewelry off quite often... So at that moment it was just a ring BUT with a promise... a promise ring...to a wedding, lol.

I'm a "date" person so I was thinking that having our wedding on our couple's anniversary date which is August 1st 2008, would be really really nice... and well, having it a Saturday, would be even nicer...
So having more serious talks about a wedding came more and more often, and I asked myself how we could have an intimate wedding and doing it a way that we like. Well, we are travel people (his mom owns a travel agency), we love Disney and well, having it somewhere else would naturally make it more intimate.
So 2015 it was!
August 1st is also my grandfather's birthday and he sadly passed away in 2013 so it would be a nice if I can honour him with my wedding. He was so eager in seeing me with the right person...
As much as I want to believe men want to get married, I think that their love for us is showed by letting us have this day FOR US... lol.
But seriously, men are as scared of weddings are we are in having kids... well, that's how I see it!
So he finally "officially" warmed up to the idea a month ago as long as it is something I really want for both of us.
I think that's an ok way of seeing it... Specially that he didn't want anything to do with weddings 5 years ago...
We made it more official with family and friends a few weeks ago and I have been researching like a crazy person. I have to send out the pre-rsvp/save the dates in August 2014 to give 3 months for guests to RSVP.
I still have to sit with my parents (they hibernate in FL during winter) to talk about cost but I do not believe I could let them spend a lot on a single date even though really important...and even though when I broke the news on the phone I got a "you don't need to think about that $$$" green light.
Next - my research and tentative plans...

It's good that you know what type you'll be looking for instead, I'm sure it will be fun to try on different styles. Your shoes are so pretty, love them! I'm not sure what you would need to know when booking but I bet if you call the venue, they will be abe to help you out...being a destination wedding area, I'm sure they know exactly how it goes and will let you know how to go about the planning. Can't wait to hear more!!
