p.s. - I've gotten a lot of email and PMs about the 2009 Disney Wedding Awards and how I should do them over. I'm on the fence about it...check back for reasons, write-ins, pros, cons, and a vote tomorrow...

Brian (my fiancée) took me on a surprise trip to Walt Disney World for 5 days! For us that is a long time since we only live an hour and a half away. The day we got there Brian took me to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party which I had no clue we were going to. The next day was a normal disney day get up early stay out late, then Saturday we went to Epcot because we had a dinner reservation at Le' Cellier (MY FAVORITE!!) We had eaten super super early!! After dinner he says. so what do you want to do, I'm like lets go on the mexico ride, because we were sooooo full. We get off the ride and hes like lets go, we start running through world showcase, which is not easy to do when your full. We walked over to Sea Breeze point where he walked up to this random woman with a camera. I was like "what are you doing?" He proceeded to introduce himself to her and she said she was just going to take some pictures and that she was from photopass. I was like "I don't think so!", they normally don't walk around the resorts. She then tells me " Photopass has taken over the world" I thought that was hilarious. The next thing I know My Mom, Dad, Brother, Grandmother, and all of his family are walking towards me and Brian gets down on one knee and took me about 5 min. to get something out but ofcourse I said YES!!! We are now planning our Disney Wedding for December 18, 2010!!!

We met on E-harmony in May of 06. After a few weeks of communicating online we took the plunge and decided to meet up. I should probably mention that at the time Erik and I lived about an hour and a half apart. So he came down to South Jersey and we met up for lunch. I guess those commercials are true because our first date lasted about 5 hours! Being the sweet romantic he was he brought flowers all I can say is the man was raised right and gives me flowers for every appropriate occasion. I count myself a very lucky girl and hope it continues . I should probably mention the date - 6/4/06 which by pure luck (since we didn't get our first choice date for the DFTW) is exactly two and a half years from our wedding date. Should make the anniversary easier to remember and the wedding all the more special since it's an anniversary of sorts. So we had seen pictures of each other online and everything pretty much measured up. I still wasn't head over heels but we had plenty to talk about and I enjoyed his company. According to Erik, he was from the beginning - sweet man! We had lunch and ended up going somewhere else for ice-cream afterwards - we both love sweets! I finally ended the date because I was getting eaten alive by mosquitoes and needed to get inside but didn't think the first date was a good time to bring Erik home to meet the folks. Unfortunately to save money I was living at home at the time. So second date was just the same as the first - this time it lasted 7 hours though with lunch, ice-cream and a movie. Oh and our first kiss - I only let him give me a peck on the lips but it sure was sweet! It took a few weeks of phone communication before we could have our third date but by then the intellectual attraction wasn't all I was feeling and we had the best date yet. It was official I was starting to fall and from that point forward (except for a preplanned trip in late July) we've spent every weekend together since.

We were in Epcot, in the France pavilion. Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie, and I wanted to get my picture taken with Belle and the Beast, like I do every year when we go there. I had made some sort of comment on how I would love to get a picture of Belle and The Beast, and have Aurora in the picture too. And then I said something about how I was bummed because there wasn't a photopass photographer there doing pictures. Oh, yeah, and I should mention, that we were with his son and his mom and step dad were there too, but not with us at the moment, they got to the park later than us. He called them to see where they were at and was stalling so they could catch up with us to see the proposal. So we were just waiting and he told me he was going to go ask the attendent with Aurora if there was going to be a photopass photographer out. He really was just going to ask if Aurora could come over because he was going to propose to me. She told him no, they don't like to let characters pose together like that or something. So he was fine with that, at lease he had my 2 favorite characters, so that was good with him. Then a minute later handler came over and pulled him aside. I started to follow him, but they both told me to stay in line to hold our spot. Turns out the handler said that since it was a special occasion, she was going to allow it, to wait a moment to let the line die down and she would let them know what was going on and bring Aurora over. So he came back over, told me that he had arranged a special picture for me, the picture I had wanted with the 2 princesses and the Beast, but we had to wait a minute and they would bring Aurora over. So, a minute later, the handler and Aurora come walking over, the handler goes to tell Belle what was going on, and also his mom and step dad finally made it over to where we were at. We walk up to get our picture taken, and Roy positioned me in front of the Beast, with Belle on one side and Aurora on the other side. He was standing in front of me, and he turned around to his mom and his son and said "Are you ready?" and as he turned back around I see the box in his hand and he is going down on one knee. I put my hand up on my mouth, started crying right away and he asked me to marry him. The Princesses were so excited, and Belle even thanked us for letting them be a part of our special moment.

Sad. I wish I would have known. We've got some great shots of our Disney couples. Maybe next year.
OMG, How did the couple up there "Jessie & Nick" take e-pics inside the cinderella suite!!?!?!?!?! = O
Jessie and Nick have the good fortune of being really good friends with Nathan and Jensey Root AND had the good fortune to get themselves inside the Cinderella suite. Le sigh...we should all be so blessed!
Thanks so much for nominating us for best cake :)
Becka- These weddings were *pre* 2009. Wasn't your first Diswedding the one we sent ya last year? :)
I'd like to see more features on at-home Disney weddings! I didn't realize people did that...
Jessie and Nick's picture is my pick, hands down, I love it.
