The Point of No Return

Late last week, we finally received a very important e-mail from Diane, our Wedding Consultant at Disney's Fairytale Weddings: the contracts. Though nothing takes the magic and charm out of a wedding like page upon page of legalese, signing the contracts is an important step for a number of reasons. Of course, it locks in your date, venue, and wedding package, and in turn you agree to abide by the rules they have for the wedding packages. There are twelve pages to the contract, but it's not too impenetrable (though I may be biased, having read many a contract of my own during my days as a freelance game designer), and they all more or less boil down to this: Here's your package, this is what you're signing up for, this is what you get, and you can't try and get it for less. There's not much more to say on the topic, but I figured anyone going through the process might like to know that it was at this point where we received, reviewed, and put ink to paper on the contract.

So, Girl Scout Fiancée and I signed the letter of agreement, and I sent it back to Diane via FedEx. It seems that, once she receives it, it will then be another two weeks before we are handed off to a wedding coordinator. At this point, there's kind of a lot of hurry up and wait going on, but this far out that's to be expected. Included with the letter of agreement was the authorization to charge the deposit, so we are now committed financially to the wedding!
