I can't believe it's finally time ... after all the daydreams, and the waiting and the anticipating...we're going to have a Disney wedding and I'm going to be a Disney Bride!!!
I have been reading planning journals on the Disboards for the last couple of years and have enjoyed them so much! I think its a great way to bounce your ideas off of others and to keep from drowning all your non-Disney, non-bride friends with wedding talk! I've learned so much from all the journals I've read and while I don't expect my journal to be quite as educational as I'm not really doing anything new or creative...hopefully my journey will be helpful or at least mildly entertaining to someone out there.
WARNING: I tend to talk a LOT and I tend to write like I talk. Short and sweet is not me. So read on at your own risk !
He's Frank and I'm Brooke. He's 59 and I'm 45. This will be my first marriage, his second. He's never had a wedding though, he did the courthouse thing the first time.
We've been together a little over 8 years, and we FINALLY got engaged on January 14, 2013. He proposed at Magic Kingdom in front of the partners statue, just after wishes with a gorgeous custom designed ring with hidden mickeys. More on the proposal story later, but here's a sneak peak at the ring:
Our Plans so far:
Contract is signed and the deposit is paid, so I guess we're official now! We are getting married on Sunday, November 16, 2014.
Type of Wedding: Wishes
10 am Ceremony: Wedding Pavilion
11 am 3 pm Brunch Reception: Ariel's at the Beach Club
8 pm 9:30 pm Dessert Party: UK Lochside at Epcot
Guests: 30 to 40 (I'm guessing we'll come in closer to 30 than 40 but you never know! I was originally planning around 20 25 but you know how those guest lists grow!)
Color Scheme: Teals/blues
Here is an inspiration picture I use for my colors:
Thanks for reading so far, lots more to come!!
