Bec & Chris - Wishes Wedding 03/01/11 WP/WHR/SCP - Some extra pics and **COMPLETE**

[ChocoKat]

BWAHAHAHA!
I should crash the reception and demand a candle on top of a slice of that amazing chocolate cake you are planning I keed I keed!

It's gonna be a blast and I'll toast to you and your new DH while I dine at the Cali grill. Hmmmm I love me some Cali Grill.

Your dress is beautiful You can tell it's the one because you look happiest in that photo!

We have the same quandry about suits. It would be expensive to hire in the US and UK (for the home reception) but if we bought we would be restricted to a colour they would all wear again! I never expected the mens' clothes to be the problem

I stole this pic from shippedtosea's PJ. I fell in love with it when I saw it .

I'd probably only have two teirs though, in pale gold - with 1-2 shades darker gold on the frilly bits. I'd have the cake stand (you know the flat cardboardy ones) also covered in fondant so I could have the frilly things at the edge of it too, and where the white flowers are, I'd replace them with a strawberry dipped in chocolate

So, what does every one think? I can picture it in my head, but things usually turn out different to how I've got them pictured, so tell me if you can see it in your head too

[malibustacey]

you thief! hehehe I am in love with it too. but mine would be just like that only lighter blue. and 3 tiers

 

[MainStMandy]

WOW! I love that cake!!

 

[Chilly]

Great cake, I can just picture it in gold.

I kept going back to your PJ to stare at it, so maybe after the 4th visit, I decided it was worth my while to save a copy of the pic

At least your wedding is before mine, so if we both do go with it, there should be just enough time between our weddings, that not too many people start seeing the similarities

Great cake, I can just picture it in gold.

I know! I can too, unfortunately either DF has a terrible imagination, or just terrible taste I tried to explain it to him, and I think he's picturing a bright, dark, metalic yellow gold, and that's not what I'm thinking at all, so I found other wedding cakes in the colour that I want and showed him, so he could see what I was talking about, but the cakes I showed him were just plain gold, and no more decoration, so his thought's were that it was going to be too plain... I flicked through a few more gold coloured cakes, and found one with swirls all over it, and he told me that it looked better, more too it...

So in conclusion, I don't think he can picture that cake in gold, or if he can, he thinks it needs added swirls...

I'm not going to discuss anything with him any more I'm going to tell him what to get dressed into, and when to turn up and I think that will do!

On another note, we looked into some exotic car rentals in Florida, because neither of us are too keen on either the rolls or the ford - and neither of the coaches grab me either...

So, we're looking into perhaps getting a lamborghini or a maserati for the day It looks like price wise, we'd be looking at around $1000 - $1500 for the day, and that includes free delivery. It doesn't include insurance, which we'd need to get, but it's just a thought at the moment.

Has any one else thought about hiring outside cars?

hehe I was teasing! DF says the cake is too fancy. I told him that I am putting my foot down and thats the cake I want This is the only thing I have said that too soooooo. Though I need a back up if my venue says nope. It will be beautiful for both and they won't look that similar.

What is it about boys these days, who think they have a say in the wedding planning???

hahaha silly boys. There has to be a few things that we get our way on right?

 

[MainStMandy]

You aren't kidding I have one of those too

Seriously though, we should be glad! My man decided I have been working hard on the wedding and he wants to help Sounds like yours does too!

 

[malibustacey]

Its great when they actually want to input... i mean, when a guy wants to input with colours and ideas ... i aint saying no! I'd be glad for the help hehe!!

bless em!!

omg ... it would be amazing if you hired a lambo for the day..!! wow! thats a great idea... please go ahead with it! hehe!!

 

[Pirate's Princess]

An exotic car sounds really neat! I love that idea. And that cake is ridiculous!!! Very ornate and beautiful.

Df said the other day that it doesn't matter what he thinks...I'm just going to do it anyway! That's more like it LOL

 

[GoonieBride]

that is the coolest cake i have ever seen!

 

[BecBennett]

Bleh, it feels like every update I post is a mini rant!

I was telling FMIL about the songs that I want for our Ceremony. Now I haven't set anything in stone yet, and I don't plan on it for a while, but I mentioned to her that I'd like something along the lines of The Rainbow Connection, just instrumental and played on something like a harp as I walk down the aisle. It's very me, and it's a beautiful song. But no, according to FMIL that's very tacky and I must have Cannon in D... "save the Disney songs for the reception" I'm not going to have any Disney songs at the reception, unless either Chris, my dad or I decide we want them for a traditional dance. I'm pretty sure we wont...

I almost wasn't going to post this, because it's really trivial, and I'm not going to take her advice regardless of what she says, and DF is behind me 100%.

She's a piano teacher if you can't tell... And I'm clearly just a pleb when it comes to music. I don't remember all that clearly, because I pretty much stopped listening to her at one stage, but I'm pretty sure she said that I should leave the music up to her and DF... Umm, no...

Ok, rant over. Next time I promise I will update with something worth while...

 

[GoonieBride]

Rant Away girl!!!!
i would be mad if my FMIL tried to tell me what to have at my own wedding! (she hasnt done that yet, but she already tried when i was preggers...long story) but i pretty much told her off in front of DF and said my kid, my rules, my life! after that she gives me alot of respect now days.

but i love that song! you should keep it!
