Hahah, I had a Carrie and Big moment too. When I bought my dress, I kept saying how beautiful it was/is, and how it makes me want to have an at home reception again. My MOH laughed and said "your dress up-ed the ante".
hahaha seriously uped the ante!! When i got my dress i was so worried it wouldn't go ok with SBP but i think it'll go ok.
Aww, I'm sorry that WC was so rude to you. Definitely buy Carrie's book, it has all the minimums and tons of info in it. There's a whole section for Escape brides!
I know, the Disney timeline thing is frustrating, but maybe focus on things you don't need Disney for, things will start to turn around, I think everyone gets into a planning rut now and then!
I dont know that she was being rude just probably sick of my emails
I think that since i haven't signed any contract or put down a deposit she is just letting me know she has other paying customers that she needs to attend to before me.
Again i was just frusterated. I've been dealing with people pushing me to the side because of our budget and/or guest list so i was just annoyed. I'm getting over it
Hey ... firstly heres a hug.
Everyone goes through these feelings. I am having a very hard time at the moment because we have no money saved up and its like i know the wedding is a long time away yet but it will fly by and we havent got any money to pay for it yet. I feel like sometimes, i just wish i would just let someone deal with everything and i would just show up on the day but then its not really my wedding and i havent had any imput... i have some very off wedding days where i dont want to talk about it at all and its mainly because i dont want to get my hopes up wishing about things. Then other days i feel great about the wedding.
I would suggest getting Carries book too- she is great in knowing stuff. She is the Dis brides secret Disney agent who knows more than Disney knows! hehe
Stace i totally feel ya! I want our wedding to be the most amazing day and sometimes i have these visions of having a reception and a DP but then i realize that all those things cost $$$ and then i start second guessing everything and ugh you get the idea
I'm definatly going to get carries book.
Hey lady
How are you doing today?
Hope she is feeling much better!!!!
ah we keep talking about meeting up we definately just need to figure out a time we can do it!! it will be fun! (although i think ill feel bad for the poor waitress who gets stuck with us!
)
hope today is brighter....it has to be..its 2 days closer to the weekend
Aww here's a hug Katie
, things will get better, we all get the wedding blues now and then. Just think about all those girls that dont have the Dis to cheer them up though
, we are lucky to have each other
. I hope your feeling better, maybe just getting some details out of the way will make you feel better. Tear up all those issues of modern bride and start a wedding journal... that helped me
Aw Katie, I totally know how you feel. It's so far away but I love planning and it's so frustrating you can't really get much done. Can't really do bridesmaid dress, can't do tuxes then, can't figure out centerpieces or all those questions you want to the answers for but can't find out because we don't have planners.
It's very frustrating.
You ladies are the best! I've done alot of thinking and web searching and more thinking and more budgeting
There have been alot of things that DF and I have talked about both life and wedding...
First, life:
I've gotten my resume together and i'm putting all over the place on monday, my job has been the root of alot of my problems and frustrations lately, i do have a prospective job lined up so keep your fingers crossed
Second, Wedding:
We are definatly keeping the Navy and Fuscia as our colors. We are also keeping the attic (if its available) DF said that he looked into it more and that it actually grew on him and he liked that it wasn't a ball room and that it fit the "theme" of a seaside boardwalk wedding.
I'm also feeling alittle bit better about money. DF and I are VERY responsible with money, i mean we bought a house when we were 22, and if we want to indulge on our wedding we should be able to. The fact that i've bought my wedding gown on ebay and have been frugal on everything else so far, we can afford to do a few extras for ourselves. (it felt good to get the ok about that from DF
) And the at home wedding reception will be at our home. My DD and his G/F have this big party at their home once a year and this year they had over 75 people and if my dad and his girlfriend can do it i think i can too!
I'll post some things i found online later... again, thank you all for your constant support, i dont know where i'd be without you girls sometimes!
I'm so disappointed. So now I'm off to find alternate wording, I may go with "In the spirit of the magic that brought us together", but I'm going to see if I can find any Disney quotes maybe.
i was making rice pilaf in the microwave and i went to take of the seran wrap and the steam came out and burned my fingers it is killing me so this is going to be quick...
) but something that reminds you of a new england seaside boardwalk... i mean i live next to one lol so i think i can get some ideas but its hard to incorporate it into the wedding. I was thinking of salt water taffy and definatly the star fish, but what else? 
Any thoughts?
