Looks great!!! I love the colour too! (I don't know if you got the colour done, I just really like that colour of brown )

 

[DisneyBrideToni]

Your hair looks fantastic!!

I bet they could put that flower on to a clip for you. I love headbands but I always end up with a headache. Your wedding day is not a day you want a headache!!

How about something like a bobby pin type of clip like these?

I have a question for your girls. I mentioned to Eric last night about doing a casual dinner with our parents and bridal party after the rehearsal and before our DP. He didn't like the idea and mentioned his mom would probably be spending time with her family. It kind of hurt my feelings as they seem to be using our wedding as a family reunion. I mean don't get me wrong, I am super excited his family is coming, as most of mine is not, but I just expected the night before the wedding they would spend with us. Am I just being silly?[/QUOTE]

Hey lady! Take this with my honest advice and I am not trying to be rude ain any way IMHO I think you are overreacting a little. People are spending a lot of money to come to the wedding, and they are participating in the wedding activities. So what if they are going to want to take advanatge of the time to spend with their families as well. During our wedding I barely saw my brother who I am very close to until the welcome dinner. because he made it a vacation with his family. Jason's family made it a mini family reunion.

It sounds like you guys have the welcome dinner and a day of wedding festivities so if the familieis want some time to themselevs at Disney that is not wedding related I would allow it and not ovverreact. I know to you this is your wedding and your big day and it is important to everyone else, but it is not their biggest day.

Let them have their private family time, but if they try to back out of one the wedding related activities, THEN I would say you have some ground to stand on.

I know this is a stressful time honey so take a deep breath and everything will work out. It seems like there maybe is some tension with your MIL (the black and osme other things you mentioned) but there really is nothing here

And PS- I am loving the new hair color. Looks amazing on you!!!!

I've got the opposite issue, our families want to be with us every minute of the holiday.

I think it is only natural that they would plan things with their family while they are all together in a special place in the free time they have. If they had known you wanted to do this they might not have made plans. I think the DP is enough, or maybe a breakfast before the rehearsal if you wanted to do something. Your FMIL might have thought you would want to spend the night before your wedding with your family or MOH and didn't want to intrude.

I agree with Dhay... i think that since you're having the welcome party and then the wedding day there is alot of family time you'll get to spend with everyone. If they all want to hang out for alittle while its ok. Spend some alone time with DF while they're all reuniting! You two should go out to dinner!

Awe Mandy!

I totally do understand what you're saying. And i know how it feels when nobody really gives a (insert four letter word) about the wedding and planning. I was hoping FMIL would want to be involved and she isn't either. I do know what you're saying but knowing how you FMIL is i'd just be happy with them going to the DP and just have fun with your bridal party and your parents at the dinner. Who needs downers anyway? Don't let her hurt your feelings hun. Its not worth it

Thanks Katie! I know it's not a big deal...I guess I was just taken back when I asked Eric where we should have dinner and he finally admitted he thinks his mom will be spending time with her sister, not having dinner with us. It's not the end of the world and it won't become an issue, just me having a pity party.
