We ordered our guest book on the weekend, once it comes in I need to gather up everything we already have and take pictures to post in here. I think I'm doing ok so far - we've already bought the guest book, our cake topper, my dress, my veil, the robes for our bridesmaids to get ready, paid about 40% of our photography fee, our hotel is paid for and my park tickets are covered by my annual pass.
I've been in contact with a girl from Homecoming Kitchen for our reception for a few months now, I was just waiting on Disney to confirm our dates. So I've emailed the girl from Homecoming back, and am now waiting to confirm our reception details.
We also confirmed a dessert party with Disney for the night of the wedding. Right now we have UK Lochside booked at Epcot (also my first choice!). We haven't even started thinking about the menu for that yet - it won't be too crazy since most people will still be full from Homecoming (mmmm, fried chicken!).
Outside of wedding planning, our lives have been consumed by NHL Playoff Hockey haha. We live in Edmonton, and this year is the first time in 11 years that the Oilers have made the playoffs, so the city is so much fun right now. We haven't actually gone yet, but they've been hosting viewing parties at the arena for the away games where they charge $5 to watch the game on the jumbotron (all money is donated to charity). The last game sold out in half an hour. Seriously, over 18,000 people bought tickets to watch an away game on a big screen. Every second vehicle on the road has Oilers car flags attached to them, everywhere you go people are wearing their jerseys (work meetings, the grocery store, the doctor's office, etc haha). It's been so much fun to be a part of, even if we have just been watching the games from home.
I've become a bit of a hermit on weekends now, but I did agree to go to a Jimmy Eat World concert with Luke on Saturday night. I felt like I was back in 2002! We used to go to concerts all the time - I've probably seen close to 500 bands live, but we now only do a handful each year. I'm just glad this one was on a Saturday night, I hate late nights now haha - I'm so old.
My mom and one of my bridesmaids have both booked their rooms at Old Key West within the past week, so I'm very happy about that! There are now 7 rooms reserved at OKW for our wedding week (that includes our own). Hurray for people committing!
Luke and I made up our list for ADR's on the weekend. Once we look it over a bit more, I'll begin sharing what we hope to make reservations for. Our ADR day will be here before we know it!
Bonus that they will be able to get you awesome fireworks shots, I'm sure!!!
But yeah, for Escape weddings it's 8 months, and for a Memories wedding (which we thought about first) it's 6 months. I just want to confirm it so I can order my wedding invitations!
). I don't think I could have handled waiting to book an Escape Ceremony.
(why is there no groom emoji lol). When you do order your invitations I hope you post pictures!
