Starting the pre-trippie a little late this time around, but work has begun to slow down so I find more time to DIS! Please do NOT tell me boss that one.
DF and I decided back in January '09 while in Disney celebrating our engagement (which was done at home) that Disney would be the perfect place to get married. It was basically just an idea and when we returned home, it seemed like a fantasy due to my still being in school and not banking enough cash to fund a wedding. In June of 2009 (specifically the 26th) I completed my final course as an undergraduate and had officially obtained my bachelor's degree in English Literature. It was a great feeling until I realized that I no longer had a job....
After many sleepless nights filling out applications and attending interview after interview, I was offered a position at the local cable company doing receptionist work with three other lovely ladies. I started July 6th and after only a month, DF and I realized a Disney wedding might be within our grasps. A quick side not about my job... the other three ladies I work with our Disney fans as well. One in particular just returned from a trip to the world perhaps she will find me here and post a few words. Moving on...
The idea for a wedding at the Swan resort was initially appealing due to the lower cost in comparison to a Disney package. We got in touch with Just Marry! wedding consultants, crunched a few figures and on December 12th we had booked our wedding with a 50% deposit. Closely following that we received a 25/35/45 Disney pin and booked our stay at Disney CBR Standard view, 6-day park hopper tickets, DDP from stay dates 5/15-5/22 with the wedding on 5/18
Our Cast of characters is a long and extensive one as may family members are coming along for the wedding. Look to the next post for this.. and maybe the one after that as well!
