Congrats -- sounds like everything was wonderful! We were leaving on the DME bright and early on the morning of your wedding -- I saw your event listed on the board in the lobby as we headed out! We had a view of the marina from our room but in our rush to get packed out I never looked outside that morning. Looking forward to hearing more about your wedding.

I'm jumping on the bandwagon of people who love your puppy! She's so beautiful!

What is she?

 

[Skylersmommy5]

Cassie, your wedding pictures are beautiful(ok I saw the pictures The Root's have posted on their blog). I'm so glad to hear you had an over the top Wedding Experience. I'm so glad to see your reviews on Reverend Tim, The Roots, & your Videographer. I was looking into us using Reveren Tim for our VR and he sounds hysterical(I most certainly need a top notch Officiate after the lady who did ours for our actual wedding was so not worth he little we paid her to do a Civil Ceremony). I have heard nothing but great reviews on Nathan & Jansey and they look and sound amazing to work with(besides having two added friends added to the mix which is a perk). I've been hunting for a Videographer and will most certainly look into whom you used. Your puppy is adorible(is she a Golden Retriever by any chance? I so we have a grown one by us whom sadly we're going to be saying a sad good bye to in a year or less). What a fantastic Wedding gift for your DH. I'm sure it was one of the most meaningful Wedding Gifts he received. I am so looking foward to reading more of your TR and so glad you started one. Thank you for letting us read about your DFTW Adventure!

I am sorry to hear that your golden is not doing well. I would love to hear all about him/her. I have so many questions!! Did you ever have any trouble with hip dysplasia? Did he/she ever grow out of the chewing phase and leave your shoes alone? Molly is very hyper and a times a bit crazy!! I am really hoping that in the years to come she mellows out a bit.

We loved all of our vendors - I would recommend them all. I am glad you like the roots blog - I will be posting a ton more soon!

Thank you so much Cassie. Sturgis (a girl and they didn't name her her previous owner did) is actually my DH's family dog and she is a Rescue Dog from a shelter. I'm not sure how old she was when they got her. She's old now, but so gentle with our son and has been since his 1st day home from the hospital. So whenever you have kids they are extremely wonderful with kids of all ages. She does have hip dysplacia(and almost had surgery or doggy accupuncture to heal her, but left untreated). She recently got Cancer and just had surgery, but the next time it comes back my DInlaws are putting her down as it is really expensive (and surgery is the least expensive treatment). We love her and when we get another dog it will be another Golden.

Sorry I can't help you out on the puppy stage as my last dog( An Australian Shepherd) from childhood was an adult and also from a shelter and I wasn't around my brother's Labradoodle enough when she was a puppy. Defanitely make sure you have enough room for her to run around. If you don't have a fenced in backyard, are you able to have an invisable fence?

You will love having your Golden though. They really are sweet dogs. Molly is
just adorible! Your gift of Molly to your DH just reminds me of promising my
DH a Husky Puppy (he won't go for a purse size dog for me) and actually a
puppy/dog was going to be our official wedding gift too!
I am so thrilled you posted your TR. I really do look foward about reading more about your special event! More please!

Cassie, just starting your report and I have to say, that is one of the coolest wedding presents ever! Such a sweet puppy!!!

Can't wait to hear more!

 

[weedee]

that puppy is ridiculously adorable. I LOVE the pics the Roots caught of her!!! What a great present

 

[LLLBelle]

Looks like you had a beautiful wedding, can't wait to read more!

The puppy is adorable.

I think most couples get one planning session. We had at least three official ones and about 20 unofficial ones at Francks and various other places and restaurants around Disney. Bill really cared and in the months leading up to the wedding he made me feel unbelievably special – like our wedding was really important and not just one of the hundreds that Disney does each year.

Honestly this is kind of rude to the other Dis brides including myself. Who are you to say that my wedding or anyone else's wedding was not important or special. This is very offensive. Considering the fact that MY planner Ken and his assistant Jen were awesome, always got right back to me and made sure I had everything that I wanted. I would just watch how I write things.[

I tried to multi quote but it didn't work-it is responding to post #9.

I agree wholeheartedly Steph. My planner Tanis AND Rosie my floral coordinator made me feel like I was the only wedding they were dealing with the whole year I was talking to them.

Cassie- this is what you're suppossed to feel like. It just means that your planner did his job.

Good point Lori! I just hate when people are way too pretentious for their own good and feel the need to call it out since that is how I roll .

Guys this thread is supposed to be a celebration of one particular bride's wedding. IMO posting remarks like this is uncalled for. If you don't agree then don't post.
Disney clearly does a great job making every bride feel unique and special.
Don't rain on other people's parades

 

[Goldeelox9]

Thank you for all of the kind comments. Molly is super cuddly -we think of her as our giant teddy bear!



Lisa DH is completely in love. I went down 6 times to try to plan this but it wasn't really that big a deal bc the flights are relatively inexpensive compared to most destinations and my parents have a vacation condo and keep a car at the airport

Bill was awesome. I can't say enough great things about him.

That is awesome that you were able to plan in person. That is the one thing I disliked about my DCL wedding. That I never got to sit down and hash out the details!!! Can't wait to hear more (and see more pictures...lol)

I am not trying to rain on anyone's parade. I am just pointing out the obvious. Excuse me for being real and saying what I am sure alot of other people who read here are thinking. I did not disrespect her wedding or bad mouthed her in anyway . I just said she should think about what she posts on a public board and how other's might take it. Sorry if the truth hurts. Remember newbie-This is a public board. If you don't want an honest opinion on something, then watch what you post and how you word it.

Sorry, I think that some people are being overly sensitive and trying to make something out of nothing just to pick a fight. Though I can't put words in Bride-to-be's mouth, I don't think that her intent was to demean others and their weddings with her statement. I took it as her planner made her feel as though her wedding was a special and important event for him as well, and not just a job he had to do. I don't see anything wrong with that. While many people are lucky enough to have DFTW planners that make them feel that way, trust me when I say with firsthand experience that this is not always the case.

Though I am sure that all of us who were married at Disney did so because we love Disney and felt that our weddings were special, the truth is that Disney does do many, many of these events every year. While they are special to individual brides, I am sure that most planners have BTDT. Part of their job, I feel (if they do it well) is making you feel like your even is unique and special to them, whether it actually is or not; I think Cassie was just stating that she was made to feel this way. There was really no need for a personal attack, but to each their own...

Cassie: please continue with your report. I am sure many people are looking forward to readin all about your event : I know I am!

Thanks for starting what is sure to be an amazing PJ! I can't wait to read more....it sounds like you had a wonderful experience!

To the people posting who seem to be either overly critical or overly sensitive about one small remark....c'mon...this really isn't the time or place...public forum or not there is just no reason to be rude.

From what I can understand, a PJ is intended to be a personal take on a bride's experience...

 

[PinkSleepingBeauty]

Hope to see some photos soon! It all sounds great! I'm glad you have such positive things to say about Bill! He's just been assigned as my consultant and has been really nice, answering my emails right away

I wholeheartedly agree. I'm looking forward to the rest of your TR too!
PS I saw your pictures on the Impressions website too and they look GORGEOUS
