So wedding details....
Well I threw my sister a disney themed bridal shower a few weekends ago complete with mickey mouse confetti I made myself and the disney fairy tale wedding cd. Oh and a Cinderella cake where I gave them a barbie doll and they made the dress out of cake. Hard to explain but my cousin tagged me in her pictures on facebook so you should be able to check out the whole shower there or I can post pictures another time.
As for the wedding itself my parents, my brother, myself, Brian, my sister, her fiance and my niece will all be flying to Disney on November 29. The wedding is December 1. My sister likes that her wedding date will be 12/1/2012.
She will be getting married on the deck(?) of Fulton's Crab shack. She looked into a park wedding but to she was just over the guest limit for the least expensive package and the next step up was more then she wanted. So she looked at the Swan and Dolphin and Characters in Flight. She had decided on Characters in Flight, she called to book and.... found out that there had been some accident with another one of their balloons and so they were no longer doing the one in WDW. They told her about Fulton's and I swear she hasn't looked back since. I think I've mentioned before that she loves the history of the boat and for our family... well this was the location of the first character meal my parents ever took us to. We tossed around the idea of going some place else for dinner after the ceremony but my mom decided just to make it easy and stay in one location. This has turned out to be the perfect decision for my sister. She was so anxious about how to tell our huge extended family that she hates being the center of attention and asking them not to come to the ceremony so this solved everything. She has told everyone immediate family only.
I wish I could share a link to her dress but David's Bridal is no longer carrying it I believe. It's simple yet beautiful at the same time. She went thinking she'd try on dresses to get an idea of what she liked. I saw this on a rack of dresses that the only ones left of those styles. (Samples, dresses that the brides didn't want... very random stuff.) She tried it on and loved, she also bought a veil. I'm sure there will be pictures on facebook that day. She is wearing
these shoes in silver. (My mom almost died when she heard my sister wanted to wear sandals. Oh I wish I had that conversation on tape!)
I have no shame in sharing my dress. I'm wearing
this dress in rose petal pink. Which looks not so nice on the website but the woman at the store described it as Sleeping Beauty pink. I will share my true feelings are that this is not what I would pick for myself, I don't hate it but its just not me. My sister... she lit up when she saw me in it. I would wear a paper bag if it made her light up. I'm wearing
these shoes in ivory. Those I love and it's taken a lot not to wear them out.
My fabulous mom and niece don't have dresses yet. Katie just hasn't like any of the ones she has seen for Emma. My mom keeps loosing weight and keeps holding off on buying one. The are both in crunch time. We're working on jewelry ideas. We think we found a necklace for Katie. We found
this bracelet on etsy that we were going to both get but once my aunt saw it she said she could make it for us. (She makes things like that.)
We were looking into people to come do our hair for the day. My sister went and got her hair done recently, she was mentioning to my hair dresser that we were on this search. Well this has been our hairdresser since we were kids. She has decided she's always wanted to go to disney and she's always envisioned doing my sister's hair when she got married so she's flying down Friday and staying till Monday with another woman who works at her salon. They are staying at Caribbean Beach which is where we'll all be, they have paid for their trip. They will come in the morning to do my hair, my sister's hair and my mom's hair. I'm still in shock that it's happening. We go for hair trials in about two weeks. We're going to be their last clients and we're going to do pizza and drinks with them that night too. I'm desperately searching for hair ideas. I came up with one but Brian vetoed it pretty quickly. Katie's pretty set on doing hers half up with soft curls.
I haven't even gotten into the drama with his side of the family but I've rambled on way longer then any of you needed me to so we'll end the wedding report there.
