So much to share/discuss in this pre-trip report.
To start with, I want to say thanks to everyone who has given their well wishes, thoughts and prayers to my mom in my last trip report. i'll update that situation a little later.
there are many unusual titles in this section. i think it's great! much creativity amongst the users here on wdwmagic. i hope the title to my pre-trip report was unusual enough to grab your attention and want to read. well, the title is also going to be the title for our wedding reception. guinobi is a mesh of mine, and my fiance's, nicknames we have in a facebook group that we are in. my nickname is obi, hence the reason i have it as my username here, and her's is guinefer. for those that watch the show big bang theory you probably heard of sheldon and amy being referred to as shamy. that is how jennifer and i became guinobi.
we are getting married on october 11th. as many of you know, i proposed to her, and became engaged, last september in disneyworld. we will be celebrating our disneymoon at wdw.
to get back to what i was talking about earlier, our reception will be held in a theater owned by my boss' family. there's a marquee out front, a movie shadowbox inside where we will put together a movie poster of us in it, and we will also have tickets printed up, and sent out, with the invitations. keeping with that theme we knew we had to come up with a title. movie title-like. so, i came up with the title guinobi: the journey begins to signify that we are getting married and beginning our journey together as a married couple.
this pre-trip report will share a lot of the process leading up to the wedding, and a trip report of our disneymoon.
just an update on my mom, for those that are curious as to how she's doing. she's hanging in there. she still has cancer. she was taking a severe cocktail of chemo as treatment to help give her another year or two of life. she had to stop taking the chemo because her body just couldn't take anymore of it. they are now giving her a medication that is supposed to prevent the cancer cells from getting into the bloodstream and spreading throughout her body. one of the side-effects from this med is that it does cause blood clots to form. so, now she has to have more tests done to stay on top of the clots and have them taken care of as quickly as possible.
she has said, on many occasions, that it is her wish to go to wdw one more time with the whole immediate family. that is a lot of people, and the earliest we can make that happen would be september of 2015. i talked to my brother about seeing if we can make this wish of hers come true. we are going to try. we are just hoping that she is still alive, and able to go, by the time it comes around. so, there may be another pre-trip/trip report on that coming later...
in the meantime, we are going to focus on just getting through this wedding and disneymoon. we are renting dvc points, and were trying to get a room in animal kingdom villas, but by the time we were able to book there wasn't availability for what we wanted. so, we went with saratoga springs. which is fine with me because i've stayed there before and really enjoyed it. it will also be jennifer's first time there. she saw videos of the resort and the rooms. she is really looking forward to it!
i'll stop for now, but i'll try to keep this updated as things go along.

we married in 2010 and had a short honeymoon to DLP. Only sad thing is DLP does not allow just married couples to take pictures inside DLP so we took some pictures at highlights in Paris and on Perre La Chaisse...... The cementary where Jim Morrisson, Edith Piaf and Karel Appel are burried..... Strange for wedding pictures but great pictures!!
