I am new to this so I hope I am doing it right. I was advised to start my own thread so I can get feedback from other excited Disney people on how to go about my wedding.

First of all I am a little under a year out and I am slowly trying to pull things together so I do not have as much stress. I am doing everything all by myself and have a limited budget. So we are making a family vacation/honeymoon wedding/ reunion out of this. LOL

I love Disney as does Mike so this was the best choice for us and our son Brandon could not be more pleased. Bonnie at Shades of Green has been so very helpful and I am so thankful for having a retired military dad who is allowed to use the property.

Well more details to come this weekend........:wizard:

Yep June 16, 2010 is the big day. I will post some more stuff on the details soon. Also I think 10 posts is the magical number before I can post pictures. Just learning as I go.

Mike and I met 5 years ago on Mothers Day and have been seeing each other ever since. We found we have many thoughts in common. Some of our favorite things are the beach, Disney and loving my son. It took about a year for my son to warm up to Mike since he was use to having his Mommy all to him self.

We have taken things slowly over the years and have grown closer and closer in our relationship through communication and understanding. Brandon my son looks up to Mike and loves him. The same day Mike asked me to marry him May 13, 2008 durning a trip to Las Vegas. He also called Brandon and told him he asked me to marry him and asked if he could be his (Brandon's) dad. Brandon said yes and wants to take the same last name of Tandle after the marriage as well.

My son Brandon Pitts is 9 years old right now and will be 10 when we get married. He has been part of the planning and is thrilled :mickeyjumDisney will be the destination. He will be the ring barrier during the ceremony and likely take part in the candle ceremony. I will ask him if he chooses to be a part of it.

We had 2 reasons for waiting so long. We want to make sure we are not financing the wedding and I wanted to finish up my Master’s degree in Human Resources . I am finished now! I was not planning on starting to set up the wedding until after that is over but have anyway. We plan here and there and try not to make it stressful. Everything will be just as much of a surprise for me on the wedding say as everyone else since I won’t be able to see touch or smell anything until the day of the wedding. To me the surprise is exciting and I am trying to have no worries. It is not about the bells and whistles but about the commitment to God, each other and memories. It if something crazy happens well that will be our special memory. LOL

Mike and I dream of one day living/working near Orlando since it would save us a bunch of money on vacation travel. LOL

More details to come later

Cute engagement story. How thoughtful of Mike to ask Brandon if he could be his dad. If you have any questions about posting or whatever, let me know and I'll try and help out. The Dis is the first place I've ever posted so I understand the 'getting the hang of it' stage. I still sometimes have to ask random questions:laughing:

Ok I could not wait till this weekend to try and post a picture. Let’s start with my dress. I know my soon to be hubby will never look on here cause his pass time is far from the computer. I am not wearing the petti coat in this picture it is a 3 ring so it puffs out quite a bit. Also I am not to thrilled about the fly away lace on the front so we are going to fix that with a needle and thread. Not bad I got a designer dress from eBay for $75.00 and don't need to fix the length or anything. I did get a corset so it fits a little nicer on the top.

This first picture is showing a little yellow. Sorry I have not any other pictures yet.

So Princess22 you are thinking of a Disney Cruise. I am so excited for you. I am trying to figure out what I am going to do for my 30th birthday this December.
Does anyone know how the weather is out on the boat in around December 29th? Has anyone had a 10 year old boy on the boat I have never been on a Disney cruise only Carnival.

Your dress looks gorgeous on you. You're going to be a beautiful bride.

I have been on a princess cruise in december. The weather was fine. The seas were a bit rough one day, but doable! I think you should go. I think your son would love it!!! If you go over to the Disney Cruise Line Forum there are tons of very knowledgeable people over there. Super nice people also. They will help you with anything, but it's a bit addictive also!!! Go check them out

Hello fellow SOG bride! Congrats and welcome to the PJ side. It's very addicting so prepare to get nothing else done. :rotfl2:
Well it's good to see more of us popping up around here. I love your Save the Date's. :goodvibes They are super cute and I think you are right about ending up on people's fridges. I would totally put one up on mine.

Congrats! Can't wait to read more!

Sorry everyone I went to the beach this weekend and slacked off.
I did check out prices for a Disney Cruise in December and I it is a little out of my league in the price zone. Oh well I figure out something. :confused3

Anyway pictures are always fun so I thought I would put one in of what I would like my bouquet to look like. Just got to find someone in my price range... There is a place called Greenery something (I'll have to look it up) that may do it for a good price as well as the swag for the gazebo. They will not talk design until 6 months out.

This is my label for the RSVP cards- I will send those out as well as my invitations no later then January since I can only hold my block of rooms till April.

Also thank you all for the welcome and congratulations. The same goes for each of you. When I have a minute I will check out each of your threads.

I need to start packing because my hubby to be and my son and I will be moving into an apartment together the first week of August.
More pictures to come soon.

07-13-2009, 12:32 PM

So we found out Mike's dad who is 81 this year does not want to fly to FL for the wedding. :sad2: So we are going to get married at the Justice of Peace here in Texas a month or a few weeks before the actual wedding so that he can see us. So now we have two things to plan although the court house will not be with the gown.

Another strange thing happened because we wanted to get a passport done for Mike. Mike's dad never signed the birth certificate so his last name is still his mom's maiden name even though his SS says Tandle. It took some pleading for a copy of his birth certificate and then all of this came out. What a surprise. So now we have that to straighten out as well. Good thing we are starting early. LOL
:rotfl2:

07-16-2009, 12:58 PM

Ok I wanted to see if any of you have used fake flowers. I can accross a company called Plumerias Wedding Flower Boutique and it had some good reviews in Wedding Wire although thre were not many posts.
My mom was impressed with the quality of the flowers in the close up pictures. Here are some of the bouquets what do you think about them?

I took out the images from Photo bucket so you can not longer see them here. I am cleaning up my photobucket as I rule out what I do not want but if you are interested in the flowers check out the link below.

This is a link to the website.
http://www.plumeriasweddingflowerboutique.com/3/miscellaneous2.htm

I am still waiting to find out if Roberta can even do my request but if she can
I think I will be able to get more flowers then I thought I would If I were to use real flowers.

JanineBlum

07-16-2009, 03:40 PM

I have been checking my email all day to see if Roberta would be able to make my flowers.

Check out this quote I just got back from Roberta.
Your bridal bouquet with added crystals: 130.00
Toss bouquet: 35.00
1 Plumeria hair flower comb: 13.00
1 Maid of honor wrist bracelet corsage: 22.00
1 Bridesmaid wrist bracelet corsage: 22.00
5 bouts: 37.50
Petals for flower girl and tables: 15.00
4 Wrist bracelet corsages: 88.00
2 Gazebo arrangements for sides (removable, round bouquets to use for reception) 100.00
Insured, Priority shipping: 40.00

Total: 502.50
Mine will be a little less since I only needed 2 extra corsages. $458.50

I think this is a great price! All other flowers gave me this same price for just one bouquet and a swag without me adding unique flowers like orchids and plumerias or jewles. Or I am told I have to spend over $1,000 just for them to deliver.

Let me know wha you guys think...I have not signed anything yet :flower3:

JanineBlum

07-17-2009, 03:11 PM

So she is going to send me a sample corsage and I will let you know how that looks and feels and post a picture when I get it.

OH I like those!! I have seen her website before. That is a great price!!

JanineBlum

07-17-2009, 06:43 PM

The package I will have will have at least these (fake) flowers in it and the rest is up to her. Whe will also put some light blue auqamarine stones in it to match my tiara the color posted is right but in my tiara they are round. Oh and she said she would throw in hidden Mickey's. I can't wait to see her sample.
I am glad you guys approve of the ones I posted and the price.

07-27-2009, 12:03 PM

Ok so I got the corsage sample in and I think the plumerias look great but the other flowers not so much. So my mom and I got to talking and we decided to cut a flower off of my defenseless purple orchid plant to see if it could endure the heat. It lasted for 5 hours outside then we took it in but it was still in good condition. Sigh I found orchids are very hard to put in a bouquet without training and pricey.

So now we are thinking of doing some flowers our selves. My mom and I are going to make some arrangements. We determined we may go fake flowers or FTD for the gazebo because they will be up high and distant and then real flowers for everything else. The bouts will be easy I am not so sure about the bouquet and the corsages. I found a lot of how to information online but I am going to stop by the library.

I think we will do a least 2 test bouquets before the final day. I just wonder if we end up spending more on it when we are trying to figure out how to do it. I will run some numbers and see.
Until then here are some more bouquet pictures for you all to look at.

http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af103/Janineblum/passionforpurple1800flower.jpg?t=1248879275 80.00 1-800 flower

Ok change of thought I am going to use FTD for bouquets they may not have exactly what I am looking at now but something close I will check back closer to the date but the price seems good. Then I am going to have to make the bots I am not sure about the corsages we shall see.

http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af103/Janineblum/th_pewholder.gif
My mom is still going to make the cones like above (but light blue and purple ribbon)for both the gazebo and my bouquet.
We will use FTD flowers.

Does anyone have some pictures of light blue and purples together ribbon anything?
Let me know which ones you like the best. I am going for blue purple and pink look but I do not like blue flowers so I wm only using it lightly like in the ribbons. Feel free to provide input...

I have some more pictures to send but it may be another week or so before I get it on here. I have been working mucho overtime lately, had a car wreck on the day we were moving into to our first apartment together. No worries everyone is ok but my son was in the car with me in the front seat and he got a scare. He is old enough (9 1/2)and weighs enough to be in the front but the accident got me to thinking about the airbags I feel he may get more hurt then helped. Luckly the airbags did not go off as it was a minor accident but now I am having him sit in the back again. I thank God that he only had a few scratches from the seat belt.

Well the move has been daunting and I hope we are done getting organized soon.

I have contacted a reasonably priced florist in Orlando to use for all my flowers. I am having things very similar to those that are in your quote from Roberta and was quoted about the save (less than $450) for real flowers. You may want to contact her for an estimate, you might find her reasonable. Her name is Amy Lambert, website: http://blossomsorlando.com/

JanineBlum

01-08-2010, 12:10 PM

If you can find a reasonably priced florist, I'd go with that. Making bouquets and bouts can be a big task you don't want before your wedding! Plus you're at Disney! If you end up putting them together yourself, just over-budget the time needed.

I really love the colors that you've selected! They look great.

I am going to go with FTD or 1-800 flowers and book the stuff in April. I think your right it will be a hassle to DIY real flowers and I will miss out on Disney fun! I am not going to have that many flowers anyway.

princess22

01-08-2010, 09:36 PM

Hey Janine! Just popping in to say hi! I agree with your decision on the flowers! We had fake flowers but we got them at a great price and we put all the bouquets and centerpieces together ourselves, but we live here so it wasn't hard to transport them to SOG!

I'm getting excited for you. 5 months will be here before you know it!

The wedding will still be at the Shades of Green and so will the reception but the reception is moving Mario's to a quarter of the ballroom. My parents went down to the hotel on holiday a few weekends ago and did not like that it was not a white table place anymore so I streched the budget. I canceled our limo airport pick up and made it a town car to save some money and luckly I still have a cushion.
Shades of Green has been great to work with on the changes.

Oh yeah I also ordered a legacy brick at SOG. It should be in before we have our wedding. I can't wait to get there!
:cool1:
I had some changes to make on the invites and lucky had not sent them out yet so. I will have pictures up on that ASAP since I better mail them out this week.

JanineBlum

02-25-2010, 06:10 PM

Mike got his tux from ebay $100.00 looks great we will look for a vest after prom.
Brandon will get sized and get a tux from eBay for $40.00
Brandon also wants a different vest but wants it to be Disney and we found some on eBay now we just have to pick one. :)

My bridesmaid is looking to look for dresses after prom as well to see if we can find a sale.
I found a cute dress for the flower girl at Burlington Coat Factory priced at around $25.00. I need to steal Autumn away from her mom and see if it fits and is comfortable for her and then I will have some pictures up on that as well.

Center Pieces- SOG will supply them at no cost but they will just be simple candles on water. That is fine by me $0.00 is awesome!

Well we are picking up the marriage license Thursday and then there is a 72 hour waiting period in the state of Texas.

I ordered a vest (For Mike) from ebay and it includes a clip on tie and the pocket hanky. It looked like it would be nice we shall see. So far we have had pretty good luck with ebay. The cost with shipping is $40.00 which is great compared to the $78.00 that the rental shop wanted.

Now we need to pick out Brandon's. He really want a Mickey vest but we can't seem to find one in his size. Boys medium.. If any of you know where I should look please let me know.

Well my son's state insurance has been dropped because I make to much money now, even though I only have enough to cover the bills and my work does not offer insurance. Mike has good insurance with his company and Brandon my son has lots of health issues...So Mike and I have determined we will tie the knot March 18th at the JP but have the official wedding still in June. Anyway he feels like we should still celebrate on or own and we are going to go to Six Flags to celebrate.

In the state of TX you have to submit your name change 30 days after so I will have to change my name on my DL and that means I have to call and make a change on the flight as well. At least it is SW they tend to be more reasonable. .... I better think of anything else this could cause issues... oh credit cards.

Wish us luck to get this all done and the paperwork sent into the insurance comapny before the March 31st deadline..
Good luck with March 18th
I must say I am glad we do not have these hassles with insurance in UK thanks to our NHS. We all pay so much out of our wages towards it. Since I work for the NHS as a paramedic, I sometimes feel like I am paying part of my own wages!!!:lmao: Of course, people who do not work still have access to medical care here, which at times is a little frustrating to those of us who work hard, butI guess I would not have it any other way as I wouldn't want anybody to not have access to medical care.
I hope you have a lovely day on March 18th!!

Often I wonder if moving back to Europe is the right way to go but jobs are hard to find everywhere and I am not sure my hubby to be would be able to adjust to being that far from his family and Disney World (maybe not in that order) LOL

My sister lives in England and is currently jobless but trying to find a job she is happy to have the health plan you guys have since she has four kids. There are pluses and minuses to everything. It gets sticky when you can't get help just because you make to much money but yet not enough to really meet the needs of your family.. Oh well I am a true believer there is a reason for everything in life even if we don't always understand it.

And thanks for wishing me a lovely day.:littleangel:

I find this odd, since I know it was more than 30 days after that I changed my TXDL. Maybe it was because we have a FL Marriage License and I was living in Germany. :confused3 Still, what if you didn't want to change your name at first and decided to later? That is so odd that they MAKE you do it now or never.

As for SW...make sure you have SOME ID (maybe you can go to AAA and get an international driver's license with your maiden name...or keep the TXDL with your maiden name). Then they shouldn't give you any trouble.

Not sure if they will cahrge additional but SW is easy to work with.
This is what I found on the TDPS.

3) I have recently married. How long do I have to change the name on my license? Can I change my name online?
You are required to notify the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) of a name change within 30 days. A fee is required. Name changes cannot be processed online. In order to change your name, you must apply at any Texas Driver License office and present your marriage certificate/license or court order to initiate the change. No name will be used that has not been previously documented . In all cases, documented proof of name change shall be presented. 37 Texas Administrative Code 15.23, 37 Texas Administrative Code 15.36, Texas Transportation Code 521.054.

SO strange! I did mine by sending in paperwork (since I was living in Germany). Again, maybe it's because I had no other recourse. I got a TXDL with no picture on it, though, since I did it through the mail. Then, I went to the DMV and got it renewed/picture put on my next trip to TX 5 months later.

You're probably doing the right thing by being cautious, though.

I will have to double check but I think my passport has my name written the same way as my drivers license. I wonder how soon I have to make a name change for my passport. If I have a larger time frame I will just use my passport as my ID.
I will post what I find out about passports and name changes.

We picked up the marriage license on Thursday and at first we were told that we needed our social security cards. Mike could not find his that morning and I had to go into work by 11:00. We called again and spoke to someone who said our DL would be fine as long as we know our ss #’s. So it all worked out then went to breakfast at Cracker-barrel and I went to work.
Mike does not want to go to the JP for the authenticating the marriage.

Instead he wants to have a private wedding with our Pastor. I thought it was sweet because he said he wanted to start out right even if it wasn’t when we planned. So we checked with Pastor Heinz and he said he would be thrilled. Then he told us he had lots of contacts in the area and be could do it on a boat or on the balcony of the Aquarium on Kemah boardwalk or anywhere we wanted at no charge! Wow, I am giddy and so is Mike! So we said that the balcony of the Aquarium would be wonderful and the owner said sure…do you want music, do you want breakfast …just let me know what I can do... all at no cost. How wonderful is that! I told our Pastor we would like to at least donate some money to the church. It will just be me, Brandon and Mike at the private wedding.

JanineBlum

03-05-2010, 11:25 PM

We asked our Pastor if he would like to officiate our official wedding and he said yes. He is not even charging us for transportation or stay since he is going to go out there and make it a family vacation! I am so happy!! I think this is the first time I really feel like this will be something special and unique to us since our pastor knows us on a personal level. We have such a wonderful church!!

Well last Thursday we had our legal marriage. Our pastor was nice enough to arrange for us to have it on a private balcony over looking the Gulf in Kemah. We did not exchange rings but did say our vows as well as some vows to our son. My dad was more nervous then me the morning of the wedding.

The pastor made me feel better by telling me in the biblical days the couple announced a legal bond to each other and then got married and had a 7 day celebration.

My parents through us a nice BBQ the Sunday we got back from San Antonio and invited Mike's family.

I will post some pictures soon.

JanineBlum

03-25-2010, 06:49 PM

I forgot to mention the only people at the legal wedding were, Mike, Brandon(my son) the pastor and me.

Also we lost the license certificate and had to go get a new one printed an hour before the wedding... LOL It was not funny at the time though..:lmao:

Thanks Linda- I actually had picked that dress a long time ago for when we would need to go to the court house a month prior to the wedding. It was a good thing I already had a dress since we had to fast foward a little. I think I will wear that dress the day after our wedding when we hit the parks. But will wear my bride ears with it.

04-19-2010, 04:47 PM

I think I will have the design for the fan done tonight. I am going to look for some black cardstock on my way home. I can't wait to mark another thing off my list.

As for the cake I submitted a design to my cake lady and she said it would not work out good but she had some ideas. So I am going to through some more of my input her way and then give her full artistic authority as long as she is in my budget. I love suprises and I am not worried because all of her other cakes look beautiful.
So far we have some up with this:
We are going with a marble inside, strawberry filling, chocolate fondant with buttercream underneath on one layer and white fondent on the other layer with buttercream underneath.
I will let you know how the story of the cake and the fan un-folds. :)

Here is a sketch of the wedding cake.

Here is a computer graphic of the edible image for my grooms cake. I put the together the image myself. It is cheesy but I like it. :)
http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af103/Janineblum/simpson.jpg

We are thinking of using this as the base. The cake will be on a cake board.
http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af103/Janineblum/P1050840.jpg

So what do you think? My cake topper is the Mickey shown in above pictures.

The top tier will be white iceing with chocolate scroll. Inside Marble with chocolate filling.
The bottom tier will be chocolate with chocolate scroll. Inside will be vanilla with strawberry filling.

Ughh I have a head ach all day I think I may have a fever. :(

I printed 50 copies of the fan and am going to get some cardboard pads from eBay and glue them to each side and cut out. I still need to get the sticks to hold the fan. But a friend of mine also had the idea of getting contact paper and self laminating them.

Oh and other fun stuff. My son found some multicolor flameless lights that would look great in the crystal globe that may be on the base of the cake. The extras we will try to figure something else to do with as well.

We also got some sheer bags and lined them with plastic to put porcelain in that we are going to have broken the night before the wedding. Safety first. :thumbsup2

04-28-2010, 01:09 AM

I also took a trip to Hobby Lobby this weekend to look for some other odds and ends. Umm I walked out with more than odds and ends. LOL:goodvibes

I got a purple wisteria garland and blue rose garland to hang as a swag on the gazebo. I took some flower wire and weaved them together. I think it looks great. Below are the pictures of the garlands I will send a picture of the final result soon.

http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af103/Janineblum/bluerosegarland.jpg
I also bought some extra pieces of the same flowers and a little brown weave basket and some butterflies and made the flower girl basket. That was fun and I saved a bunch!

http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af103/Janineblum/P1050843.jpg
I also bought some cheap silk flowers: mini calla lilies to use for the bout for the groom, best man, my dad, father in law and son. I also bought a long stem calla lily for the maid of honor and added a butterfly. In addition I got a calla lily corsage for my mother in law and I had a special one made for my mom. . I will also send pictures soon of the maid of honor lily and my mom’s corsage. Each of these cost only 1.00 other then the corsage which was 4.00.
The purple lily will be the Mike’s the groom the other color will be what everyone else has.
http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af103/Janineblum/P1050845.jpg
I bought some light blue tulle for the cake table and for the gazebo. I bought some sheer purple fabric which I do not have a picture of but will post soon...it is so pretty it will also go on the gazebo.
http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af103/Janineblum/bluetulle-1.jpg

And on top of all that I bought some shells. I am going to put them the sides of the white runner near the end. Also I went to Kemah and found a shell cross that we are going to stand on the candle table behind the candles.

More Pictures soon:cool1:

Does anyone know anything about chair umbrella's? My father in law will be at the wedding and we are worried about the sun as his health is not the best at 82. He will not be able to hold an umbrella during the cermony. If anyoen has any ideas I welcome them.

04-28-2010, 09:30 AM

Lots of stuff happening lately! Yay! I think that your DIY flowers are going to look great, the flower girl basket definitely did.

Have you tried Wal-Mart for the chair umbrellas? They should make them, and shouldn't be overly costly. They make them with a little vice type thing that goes onto an arm or something of the chair - really easy to use.

JanineBlum

04-28-2010, 10:35 AM

Janine,

I am so excited to find you on here! I am looking for any and all information anyone has on Shades of Green weddings. I just got engaged in Disney last Friday night and we would love to have a Disney wedding. The DFTW are just not in budget and my fiance is a DoD civilian so we can use this facility. I have sent a request to them for information but it is just taking too long! Can you tell me what your costs are for the ceremony and the reception at SOG? I am so excited to find someone that might be able to help me!

Thanks,

Jennifer
I am happy you found me and a Big congrad's...!!
I would be happy to help.

Here is Bonnie's direct email addreess at Shades of Green she handles the events.
bbailey@shadesofgreen.org
She has been wonderful to work with and will get you info quickly.

My wedding at the gazebo was $200 it may be more on a weekend.
Decorations and Officiant are on your own but they do provide chairs and tables drapped with white linen.
I am renting our 1/4 of the ballroom at a rate of $250.00 and again table linen's are provided and they will even provide centerpieces but I do not know what they look like. Heck they are free so I said yes. All other decorations are on your own.
I am going to have tray's of food instead of a buffett or table dinner. But all of their prices are reasonable.

If you are looking for someone to do your cake Anna Cakes is great to work with. Her email is annahightower@gmail.com

If you have a facebook look up Shades of Green and you can see some pic's of weddding and other info.

You can order a character and you can order a cinderlla carriage. Although these things were a little pricey for me.

Let me know what else I can help you with. I have lots of info. Are you in the Orlando area?

Well my Walmart does not cary that type of umbrella but I wsaw it online and I think I can have it orderd and shipped to my local Walmart and then avoid shipping charges. I checked with Bonnie and she seed the events staff said that would work as long as there was not to much wind. If there is I guess we can move my father in law underneath the gazebo.

Yay we are going to drive up to San Antonio for a day and take a break at the Hyatt Hill Country Resort for a day of relaxing. Lucky for me Mike has a meeting there so we get to enjoy the place for a bit. To bad Mike will not have as much time as us there. Brandon-my son- does not know about it yet and it is favorite hotel it eill be a nice suprise for him after his stressful week of testing.

[QUOTE=JanineBlum;36464958] cinderlla carriage. /QUOTE]

Thanks for the info Janine. Are you telling me that you can rent the real carriage? The one with the glass like the Fairytale wedding brides can rent???

I am not in the Orlando area, I live in Pennsylvania.

I will email Bonnie directly thanks for the email address. I had completed the online request form but I figured that you could get me a few details since your very close to your wedding date now.

Do they make wedding cakes at their catering or do you need to get an outside vendor for that?

Thanks again and I look forward to seeing your photos!

Jenn

Yes that is correct you can rent the real carriage. I think it was $800.00 sorry I did not keep the email as the price jumped out at me. It really isn't a bad deal but I am cheap. If I did not have a small budget I would do it. :confused3

They do have celbration cakes but they are not wedding cakes and can not be custom ordered. I did get an outside vedore Anna Cakes. I first found her on athe knotts. She also made a cake for one of the bridilla's in the show Bridzilla.

More pictures are on there way.

I got Brandon's tux back and I am going to have him put it on so I can take pic. It has a cute Mickey patch stiched into the vest!! He loves it. The only down side is it came back a little wrinkled so I am going to have it cleaned and pressed. :confused:
I hope my dress does not come back as wrinkled. June 1st for that

18 more days to go and with a major global project roll out that got delayed and fell into June this has been crazy..:sad1:

I am still working on the fans I hope to have them done this weekend. Mike is helping me cut them out.. It is taking 1/2 hour just to cut 4 because of how slow I have to go to make sure they are not chopped looking.
I and my son finished painting the wooden sticks for them last week. Brandon and I had fun painting them together and he loves being part of our wedding work. Well except for dress hunting.:confused3

My maid of honor finally found a dress after some tears because she was worried she could not find a dress and my lack of time to help her look for one. But my mom came to rescue and found a dress. I love my mom!! Pic's comming soon.

Other updates Mike bought another wedding ring so I will have one above and below my engagement ring. He is spoiling me.. :rotfl::worship::rotfl:

Food is picked- Chicken and shrimp dinner total cost for food only $500.00 my parents are paying for drinks outside of our budget... Yay parents!!
Harp music has been picked and I can't wait to here it. I will post that this weekend as well.

My mother in law was nice enough to buy Brandon a pirate pirate: costuming thing at adventure land and he gets to be part of the parade. But shh!! it is a secret.. Also she is going to pay for our Chef Mickey thing on Monday... a cake will be presented to Brandon as a congratulations for becoming adoptee by Mike! it is sooo sweet I can't wait...:love:

I am so excited only 17 more days to go and our list is less and less:woohoo:

Well I better get back to my crazy day at work today we go live with our project in the UK.:guilty:

Ok Sorry no pictures were uploaded this weekend. I did finish all but 3 of my fans. I would have had them all done but 5 more last minute people were added to the list. I have a blister on my thumb from all of that. On top of that 17 hours of overtiem last week and a sprung foot. Monday they thought my foot was broken but it was to swallen to X-ray. I was happy to here it was only sprung on Friday and I will be able to were regular shoes and a can instead of this boot.

We got our toes doen this weekend and my parents leave Thursday so I have to have everything done to put in there car for the trip down. I can't wait and yet I feel like I have so much still to do. Ahh. Back to work.

07-06-2010, 05:49 PM

Well things got crazy so no other pictures were posted but I can say I had a wonderful wedding! I will post some pictures of that soon. I am not sure if any pictures got taked on my fans before they got all wet but that is ok at least the rain cooled us off. :)

Well it was a story to tell the grand children. It was beautiful.
My Dad and Uncle Ron decorated the gazebo beautifully but forgot what time the wedding started. Catherine Way, the harpist came to start playing at 5:45 and he called me asking why so early and then I told him the wedding was in 15 min. He ran up stairs to get ready well after he set up the candles he forgot to set up. Then I called Mike to make sure he new the wedding time.. but he had not gotten ready either. So he delivered Brandon to our room and my maid of honor helped him get ready and then his best man literally had to tell him to put his socks, shirt and everything on. LOL I told everyone to calm down because the wedding can not start without me. Needless to say the rain started to poor down heavy so Bonnie called me to find out if I wanted to move it in doors or wait it our 20 min. Everyone begged me to wait it out and I had no prob with that since my family had worked so hard on the decorations and it gave them time to get ready. So I have to say God planned the wedding perfectly and we all sat under the gazebo enjoying the cooler weather. My friend who took the pictures said the lighting was to bright earlier so the cloud coverage was perfect for the pictures. The cakes were great and yummy! I love how the wedding cake turned out just wish I could have ate more of it. Pictures to come soon!! My dad wanted to do a live feed for my sister in England but he forgot some parts which was ok since it was raining anyway.

I did come back with strep and Brandon got an ear infection which was no fun on the flight back but I would not trade the memory for anything.

Oh other news is the story of the hotel we moved to after Shades of Green it has a funny story but a happy ending as well. I well tell you all about it soon. :bride::lovestruc

Janine,

You were such a beautiful bride and your dress looks lovely on you. Love your guys too. :cool1:

Shades of Green is such a great option for those who are eligible - your decorations worked out well in the end.

Thank you for sharing!

The memories will never be forgotten but take a close look at the photos and you will notice everything is really wet.. the wedding was delaied by 20 min which worked out because some of the wedding party was running behind. :) No worries though can't start without the bride anyway so I waited it out. The fans did not make it. Oh well.:confused3:goodvibes
