Definitely! My planning session is 9-1.. not sure if they run to these exact times, but I should see you coming in as I head to my menu tasting! What are the chances!!

Yay pictures!

The photos of the proposal are so wonderful! And holy moly, the pictures of the area are amazing. And the ring box! Where's the swooning emoticon?!

I LOVE those shoes. If we weren't less than three weeks out, I would seriously hunt those down, because comfort is one of the main things for me in shoes.

Oh, and the Fast Pass STDs are super cute! The teacup ones come in at a close second.

Love the ornament! I'm looking forward to getting one with our wedding date on it.

And the dress is GORGEOUS!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK. It really helps. i really think i am going to do those tennis shoes its seems like a good way to be comfortable and tie in a cute Father of the Bride movie moment. Sorry i have not been on alot but Todd has been diagnosed with Dormant Latent Tuberculosis and we have been trying to get that under control. I will try and stay more on the ball with my plans. later today i need to pull out the menus and cake stuff and glance over it.....

did you ladies see the NEW mode of transportation Disney Weddings is offering?!?!?! 1948 cadillac convertable its spectacular, have yet to hear on cost for renting it. it might break my budget but its fabulous.

keep the feedback coming and the comments on the pics. i would love to know what more people think of the save the dates!! and the engagement!

 

[ginny114]

Hi Virginia!

I haven't given up, I haven't been on here much either. Been super busy!! Looks like you are right along where we are, we just got our planner, Christy Brown and we've started digesting the planning kit. Still need to send out the save the dates, a little behind on that! Way to go on the $20 shoes, I'm still looking for mine! Happy Planning, keeping my eye open for more updates!

Almost forgot, had to edit my post!! Congrats on the house, how exciting!! Good luck with the move!

 

[ginny114]

Ok, sooo i have a feeling that we may not be able to fullfill our required roomblock minimum so PLEASE if anyone is traveling between in, on or around 3/7/13 can you book and give me your reservation number to count towards my room blocks!!!!! i have seen some of you have asked other brides for help with this and sometimes it works out. i would greatly appreciate it!!!!! so scared we wont be able to fullfill the 25 and its making me nervous.

 

[yourgypsy]

Aww, I'm sorry to hear about Todd's health! Hopefully by now there's been improvement!

As for the music, so long as you provide sheet music at least 30 days prior, they should be able to do it. We had a somewhat obscure song for our recessional, and there wasn't any issue with it.

Yay for getting so much done and, most importantly, for getting a house!

 

[ginny114]

Hello!!! Everyone i am leaving today for our planning session, on 8/21. We are so excited and cant wait to taste everything on our menu. I wanna say sorry to everyone for me not eing on here more. i will take lots of pictures and start having more posts when i get back. Good news though... my planner Vita said they are taking out the EMPTY Fish aquarium in teh Ariel room.

 

[CinderALLIE]

Have a great PS trip. Look forward to reading about it when you get back.

 

[ginny114]

Hello everyone....i know I have been HORRIBLE at keeping up on this blog, sorry. well alot os in motion now so this will be the first of many updates! please give LOTS of feedback. I am a very undecided bride driving my planner crazy because I cant make decisions. so here it goes....

MY DRESS ....

My 3 Bridesmaids Dresses In Exact Color shown here...

We got our wedding bands. Reverand Jack Day is doing our wedding. David and Vicki Arndt are our photographers. They did out engagement session also which will be featured probably tomorrow.

MY INSPIRATION / THEME IS CLASSIC ELEGANCE. NOTHING CRAZY BUT CLASSY. HERE ARE SOME PICS OF WHAT I AM INSPIRED BY....

Mothers Corsages...

Mens Floral...

Girls Bouquets will be all white carnations...

My Bouquet i would like the flowers pictured here to be in one bouquet...

For centerpieces we have 12x12 inch signs that have different disney quotes we collected from hallmark. we would like 4 votive candles around it and then THIS IS WHERE I NEED INPUT!!!! DO WE SPRINKLE ROSE PETALS AND PLACE IT ON THEM OR DO WE PUT 4 VOTIVE ROSES AS SEEN HERE AROUND IT. I CANNOT AFFORD BOTH. THE ROSES ARE THE EXACT THEME COLOR I WANT....

We want this table cloth but disney does not provide it and we dont know where to find it.....PLEASE HELP.....

our guests count is around 45 adults and five kids. we are no longer having our reception at Ariels but now at the grand floiridian with the whitehall room as our cocktail hour. Food is Beer Braised Beef with Rissotto and Mashed potatoe Martini action station. Chicken Marsala with steamed Vegetables. We are doing salad and a Hote crab meat fondue. The fondue is for the cocktail hour. our cake is 3 tier top tier will be almond cake with almond amaretto mousse. middle tier is white cake with white chocolate mousse. and bottom is almond cake with almond amaretto mouse with almond crunch. we are going with the happily ever after cake with the white castle cake topper with tips painted silver. .....

Groom is obssesed with peanut butter so the chef will be making a desert of peanut butter unsure what he is making. and then i will be surprising him with a 1 tier grooms cake as seen here with maybe a walle and eve on top or a theme to it like a ride maybe a tower of terror. what do you think????

we want ribbon wands at the ceremony for our exit. we will be putting memorial pictures on the bottom base of the 2 large frames when you walk in the pavillion for our grandparents who couldnt join us. no floral at ceremony except bridal parties. i did want an aisle runner but the new carpet seems to be nice now THOUGHTS?? is this something i need to waste money on?

we are keeping our budget down under 14k I bet i can do it!!!!

we will be staying at the wilderness lodge and we have yet to figure out transportation costs , most our guests are staying off property. Todd will have the grape soda pin on his jacket and the wedding mr pin. All the boys are getting custom cufflinks to represent their personalities. todd got etched silver with boba fett logo from star wars. our touch of the ovie UP is our Card mailbox with our hand prints and the 2 balloons tied to the top.

here is what our invitation looked like...

what do you guys think of these cakes????...

WHEW....ok so that it for right now. please give LOTS of feedback. i need lots of guidance. and even though the girls are weariing purple i dont want purple everywhere. i gotta find those tables cloths i love or something similar. thanks every one, hope some of you are still with me!!!!
