I think its not worth doing a tr if you dont have some damn good pics- and you need a lot of them too! You did a great tr - compared to mine (who's didnt have hardly ANY pics! haha!!)

YAY i def loved this TR! one of the best!

 

[Carye]

Yesterday we booked everything and its official...we will be spending labor day weekend at WDW!!! The plans so far: just me and DF going, staying at SSR with the last of our developer points, arriving at 10:55 on Saturday and leaving at 8:59 on Monday. Oh and it looks like we are going to try out the quick service dining plan, so we will see how it goes, we might have to fill in a meal or two. I will let you girlies know more when I do!

 

[malibustacey]

How long do you plan to stay after your wedding in disney? Our wedding is in the same month... mine is on the 18th November 2010.. and yours is the 1st yeah?

We might see each other!!!!

Infact, Wayne really wants us to go out to orlando on 30th October, and stay until the 20th or something ... so if we did that- i might even be able to do a little stalking you on your wedding day!! haha

 

[Carye]

We are actually January 11th 2010...sorry...I wish we could meet up though...maybe I could talk df into a trip during your wedding

 

[Chilly]

thats a pretty good BEO!

What is on your dessert party menu!?? it sounds nice!

What style of cake are you having!?

 

[Chilly]

Thanks for posting your BEO, can I ask what this is?

Circles of life linen for alter table $30.50

 

[Carye]

thats a pretty good BEO!

What is on your dessert party menu!?? it sounds nice!

What style of cake are you having!?

Thank you...it is about 5K over what I planned, but we are making changes to get there. The sweet dreams dessert has Mini Napoleons, Assorted Macaroons, and Key Lime Tarts
White and Dark Chocolate Fondue with Items to Dip, including:
Angel Food Cake, Fresh Fruits and Berries, Marshmallows, Graham Crackers, and Pretzels
Coffees with Whipped Cream, Shaved Chocolate, Cinnamon Sticks,
Orange Peel, and Flavored Coffee Syrups
$30.00++ per Guest
but we modified it to have petit fours, mini cheesecakes, and blondie brownies instead of the minie napoleon, macaroons, and key lime tarts
This is the cake we chose

but the price they put in the beo was for the whole 7 tier, way too much cake, so we are having another price drawn up for 3 tiers and a cupcake layer.

Circles of life linen for alter table $30.50

You're welcome. The linen is for the small round table that will be used for an altar for our ceremony. It is normally covered in a white table cloth, but it sticks out like a sore thumb, so just something to make it look like it belongs in the courtyard.

I saw this on tv I thought that if they had time, they should have "piped" swirls onto the cupcakes. I just didn't like the space between them. But I really will have to wait around until your wedding so I can see a picture of your cake! I bet it will be gorgeous!

 

[ghoulish delight]

You know, I'm certain I've mentioned it before but we have similar tastes! I see the photo of your earrings and I'm like: those are gorgeous! And then I realize, hey! Pretty pearl earrings? Oh yeah! No wonder I like them!

Your decor is going to be phenomenal!! Can't wait to see it all together! The cake is awesome - so unique!

 

[Carye]

Thank you ladies...I am super excited about the cake and can't wait to see it in person. I think the pearl earrings will go great with the dress, and now they have a cute story I can tell whenever I wear them later on.

 

[acwinsett]

Hi Carye! I just read your entire PJ and everything is looking great! That is one AMAZING cake!

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your DF's mother . . . thoughts and prayers are with you guys.

Can't wait to see more!

 

[Carye]

Thank you. I love that cake, I just have to figure out how I'm going to afford it...lol

 

[Stephie77]

Hi Carye. I am sorry to hear about DF's mom-my condolences to you guys. glad to see that you guys had a great time on your trip! those pictures are great-so much good food porn- i really like that wedding cake! so different and unique. we had out trip a couple weeks after you-wasn't ken great...he really knows his stuff and gets you answers pretty quick. so awesome you got 2 pearls in your shell! the earrings came out really pretty.

 

[Carye]

I know I haven't been updating much lately, just been trying to keep up with everybody's pjs.
But we did finally mail out our invitations and have gotten a couple responds back so far. The most exciting one was from some friends of the family that live out in Lubbock, they are going to be there the 9th-12th, I am super excited they are getting to come.
Then we went last week and bought our wedding bands. In case you don't remember my e-ring

I have a connection at Zale's corporate offices so I got mine there

It is regularly $859 in the stores, but I got it for $190 including tax and sizing!!!

And DF picked his out at James Avery

It says: God be with us together and apart. It reminded us both of something his mom would have liked and it just felt right. There is a ladies band in silver of it too, so we will eventually get me one to match that I can wear on my right hand.

Oh and I won an ebay auction for the Mickey and Friends cricut cartridge(at a steal, $26 when they retail for $89) so I can cut out some cute stuff to use for the wedding, can't wait for it to come in the mail so I can play!

That's all that is going on for now, just waiting for more respond cards to come so we can make adjustments to the BEO and it be appropriate for the guest count.

 

[ghoulish delight]

Yay for getting some responses! Your wedding band will be soo so beautiful with your lovely e-ring! What a steal on the price too! And the saying on your DF's is very sweet. I love when there are stories behind things like that.

 

[not_Joanna_eggs]

Ohh I love your band! And what a deal!! Way to go!

Yay for response cards!

I'm such a slacker, I need to get my invites out! You're my inspiration!

Thank you. If anybody wants me to check if they have a rig like what they are wanting, just PM me and I can see what I can do. They have a lot of stuff really cheap, everything is at least 50% off store prices

Thank you. Glad I could be an inspiration, I really just had to get an idea who was coming for my sanity sake and needing to know if I had enough people to justify the wishes option, but no fear, it is looking like it will be no problem.


Again, if anyone wants me to look for something for them at zales, just PM me!!

 

[Chilly]

Wow you got your ring for such an excellent price.
