Adam and Katie's wedding PJ -10/2/2010 SBP/SCP need floral advice!!

[figment fan21]

You're not being a creeper!

DF is my savoir! lol We met at a Deli that we both worked at on the weekends. Well thats not technically true we met in middle school but then he went to the regional vocational school for electrical and i went to the local public high school. But after middle schoole we lost touch. Anyway i had jsut gotten out of a terrible 4 year relationship and DF was amazing! the night my ex and i broke up DF came over with ben and Jerry's and a movie. He was very respectful and was just really good at making me feel better. We were friends for like 6 months before we made it official that we were dating. DF was afriad he'd be a rebound that he wanted more than that. AWE!

And we've been together ever since. everynow and then DF see's deli meat and gets all emotional HAHAHA! He really is awesome though. He takes very good care of me and he's one of the very few people in my life i 100% trust. He has only lied to me once and it was when he lied to say he was working late but was actually picking up my ring. He's just the best!

Good evening girls...

I am feeling much better today and after talking to a few people at work i am feeling really good about the DP. It is a once in a lifetime oppertunity and i dont think i'm going to regret doing it one bit!

So i'm not going to stress out about it anymore until we get the ball rolling with DFTW. so Adam and Katie's wedding 10/2/2010 SBP/BOMA/SCP

On to other things... DF's attire. I think that a full on tuxedo would be too much for a daytime wedding at SBP. And i dont know if it still applies but i remember a rule with not mixing navy blue and black. Soooo i found this on the carolyn allen website... what do you think? Just imagine it with a fuschia rose bout. Do you think it'll look ok? I've never seen anyone use a navy blue tux in a wedding... well i have online but not in person.

Any thoughts?

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

I love non-traditional attire!! I am so against it, that I won't even let DF wear a tux (not that he wants too) I think colour is becoming a trend in menswear for weddings, and I personally think it is nice to not always have the traditional black!

 

[pezaddict231]

I really like it and since your colors are navy and fuschia, I think it fits in perfectly. I really like the silver vest with it too, I think it looks really elegant. Even though it's not the "traditional" tux, it's not too out there and it still has a very classic look to it.

Awww! Great story, love it! You two have been together forever, just like us!

Side note: I don't want tuxes either! They're waaay too formal for SBP (IMO), so I want to do brown suits!

 

[MainStMandy]

Ohh I like that!! I think it would look really pretty with a fushia bout!!

 

[Chilly]

I love that suit.

 

[polynesianbride]

WOW- I don't read your PJ for just a few days and I'm WAAAAYYYYYY behind again

Well you're up early adelia!!!

I'm hoping dress #2 looks great on them... i really think it will. I can't wait to take them to DB and try them on. I'm hoping we get to go soon, its just hard with all the different schedules we have.

I think i've definatly decided on the gerbera daisies. I dont know why but everytime i look at that picture i posted i smile. I think its because daisies are so freakin cute to me! I'm going to email my planner (when i get one) and just tell her i want that exact bouquet!

I'm not up early... I hadn't been to bed yet I am sooooo happy you decided on the Gerbera daisies- I know you love them and they will be perfect!

Thank you for posting that for me! I love all the firework pictures from DP's! It makes me really really really want to do one! Fingers crossed and pixie dust that we can do it!



It truly was!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok so here is it is.... i'm admitting i'm being a tiny bit of a bridezilla I had a small little melt down the other day about how i'm worried that i'll feel like i should have done more on our wedding day. I feel like it doesn't help that people in the family are giving usa hard time and that other children in BOTH families seem to get whatever they want and DF and I are getting the short end of the stick. I know i am sounding like a spoiled brat but i just feel like DF and I are VERY budget savy... i mean how else would we be able to have a house at 22 years old? We are smart when it comes to finances and we hardly ever spoil ourselves. But sometimes i think we are being TOO worried about the budget and not looking at how this is our WEDDING DAY! This is a time when we are able to spoil ourselves and have it be completely forgiveable! I know a couple who took out a loan to get the wedding of their dreams and nobody said boo to them about it. I feel like if we put a few things on the credit card its not that big of a deal. Right? I mean i bought my gown on ebay for goodness sake!

So here is what DF and I are trying to figure out. My biggest upset is that after the ceremony and pictures thats it for the dress. Thats not ok with me! I want to wear it as long as i can because after that day i wont be able to anymore. So DF brought up the DP again. I love the pictures of the bride and groom with the fireworks behind them... i think they're amazing! And what a cool experience! I can tell people who know nothing about disney that we had private fireworks at our wedding! So in order to do a budget friendly DP i was looking at SC. I know it doesn't have the WOW factor of an EPCOT DP and illuminations are DF and I's favorite fireworks but this is the only way i can justify doing a DP. I won't need transportation, I can have an outside photographer, and the F&B minimum for a DP is 500$. It'll be cheaper and easier (I think) if we do it that way. So we'd still have the ceremony at SBP, dinner at BOMA, and then i'd get my dress back on and we'd head over to GF for a DP. What are your thoughts on this?

I know this was long and i'm sory if i came off as a brat/bridezilla but its frusterating when nobody, other than my loyal DIS brides of course, will talk to me or help me plan the wedding. I know that alot of "tradional" wedding stuff is obsolete now but i just wish one of the four parents involved here would help out just a teeny tiny bit. But oh well It just makes me want to have an amazing wedding to prove we could do it on our own.

I think everyone has pretty much addressed this already but I just wanted to reiterate that YOU ARE NOT BEING A BRIDEZILLA! This is your wedding, it should be one of the happiest days of your life! Your dress is GORGEOUS and you should definately wear it as long as possible! I would wear it to Boma for sure... I wouldn't worry about "inconveniencing" anyone with itI think your fellow diners will be thrilled to share in the magic of a Disney wedding. The only thing I would worry about would be spilling food on your dress at the buffet but if you have someone help you it should be fine As for the DP I would go for it! It sounds like financially it should be attainable and your estimates for your BEO look MORE than reasonable! I wish I could get mine down like that

I LOVE this suit I think it will be PERFECT with your wedding plans! And with the pink bout it will be AMAZING!

Thanks Karen! I dont really want DF in a traditional tux anyway. He was in one for his friends wedding and although he looked handsome it just wasn't him... so something more non traditional i think will looke better.

I really like it and since your colors are navy and fuschia, I think it fits in perfectly. I really like the silver vest with it too, I think it looks really elegant. Even though it's not the "traditional" tux, it's not too out there and it still has a very classic look to it.

YAY! I'm glad you like it too! Df thinks its "sheek" lol his exact words.

Awww! Great story, love it! You two have been together forever, just like us!

Yea DF is pretty sweet.
I'm glad another SBP bride doesn't want a formal tux.

Ohh I like that!! I think it would look really pretty with a fushia bout!!

I always trust what you say. You're always so into "the look" so i am glad i have your approval on this.

I love that suit.

Thanks hun!

ADELIAAAA!!!!



I'm starting to think that i'll wear my dress to BOMA. I'll just bring a bib incase i spill anything and i'll man DF and my BM's get me food. I also forgot that we are going to get another tax return before the wedding! DUH! so that'll help pay for things too!

Im glad you like the suit too. I think it'll look really great with the BM dresses and the fuschia flower bouts.

 

[pezaddict231]

Lol, that's so funny your DF said that!

Yay for wearing your dress longer! And good call on the tax refund! I forgot totally forgot about that.

 

[figment fan21]

Yes DF comes out with these things and i'm like "What did you just say?!" lol He's too much!

And yea i totally forgot about the tax refund and i think that because we have the house we'll get more back than we're used to. So i'm going to take what I get and put half in the "wedding fund" and half for my check account. I'm one of those worry warts that always likes to have money incase something happens. But it definatly makes me
feel better about the whole budget thing.


Oh and I finally got an email back from Randy. You girls were right and he is going to charge 250$ he said that he has taken photos there before and that the view of the fireworks from there is excellent. That being said i did email the roots too. I really love their work but couldn't afford them to do the wedding. But i figured that it wouldn't hurt to ask how much it would be for them to come out and do our DP. I'm probably going to stick with Randy but Mandy kind of got me nervouse after her experience and you never know.. randy could have someone else book him before i officially get the DP booked.

Alright that is all.... i'm off to work!

Randy said to me that I could book him and then if I didn't get my date i'd get my deposit back if he couldn't switch, will he not do that for you?

 

[figment fan21]

He did. I just want to talk to DF one more time about everything and make sure everything is a go as far as the DP is concerned. I sill have not heard from my contact at DFTW about information on DP's (thank god i have you girls to give me that stuff) or if the night we want is still available as of now. i'm keeping my fingers crossed that a wishes bride doesn't take my spot. i'm pretty such we'll get 10/2/2010 for our ceremony but the DP worries me alittle.

 

[Chilly]

Have you got the DP menu's?

 

[Pirate's Princess]

I love the navy tux. That is so awesome. We also think a black tux is too much (if our other idea doesn't pan out) so we're going with gray.

And yay for Randy!

 

[shippedtosea]

I am behind I guess. I saw the tux and it was grey! I have been looking for a navy tux FOREVER!! I am curious if they rent it somewhere else?! Sorry I'm just so excited. my DF wants to wear some crazy vintage suit and I have been looking and looking for navy tuxes to have the boys wear. Hope you don't mind...but I might need to steal this idea! I am shocked

 

[figmentfan814]

Somehow I never found my way to your new PJ. I am so glad you were able to get everything sorted out. I love the idea of having a send-off party at home.

Your bouquet pictures are so cute, I love the colors! The tux for DF is also great! I've just been skimming so far, but am excited to hear all your plans and how things work out for the DP.

I noticed your concern about Randy, remember a photographer is a personal preference. Always tell your photographer (no matter who they are) the type of style and the list of certain pictures you want and everything should work out perfectly. We had Randy for our e-pics and wedding and loved him. We've always found him extremely easy to work with and his wife Linda is great with customer service too.

As in all business, if 10 people go to the same restaurant and eat the same meal they will all walk away with different opinions. Don't just take the advice of brides on here, Randy has also won awards from places like The Knot

 

[figment fan21]

i have looked at them on that magicalkingdoms website. They seem pretty good too... made me really hungry But i've heard that they'll customise a menu for you so we might give our planner some ideas on what we want and how we can make it fit our budget, But it definatly was a good referrance point!

I love the navy tux. That is so awesome. We also think a black tux is too much (if our other idea doesn't pan out) so we're going with gray.

And yay for Randy!

I like gray too! I originally wanted them in a gray tux with a navy blue vest and the fuschia bout, but DF didn't like that as much as the navy tux. Either way i'd be happy and since he's going to be wearing it he can chose!

Steal away love! I kind of think the navy tux adds to the vintage feel... i dont know why but it reminds me of the tuxes on Mad Men.

Well hello there fellow figment fan! I can't even tell you how many times i see your dis name and think "i dont remember posting that!"

I'm glad you made your way over here! And thank you for making me feel alittle bit better about randy. I agree that 99% of his work i love. I'd like to think that i've done alot of research and alot of website stalking to know that Randy is the photographer for us. It got to the point where DF told me that if he needs to look at one more picture by randy, the roots, or misty he'd kill me So i still do have confidence that everything will turn out ok. I've seen your pictures and they came out amazing But i will definatly be making a list of pictures i want to have and i'll even probably give him some names of previous brides that i'd like to have pictures like. I'm sure everything will be alright.

I hope you stick with me!

Yes I customised my menu and said I wanted to spend X amount and they worked to that.
