[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Just wanted to pop in and say hi! I've got some catching up to do on you PJ...See what happens when I take a mini vacation and certification exam...sheesh! It's getting in the way of my Dis time...No need to worry...I'll catch up!

 

[figment fan21]

Haha I totally hear you on the Little Mermaid. When it was finished, I asked my mom if they could play it again.

Good luck on the dress fitting and yay for Randy.

Thanks Sam! I'm glad there are others out there who were hugh mermaid fans!

I just got done reading your PJ, your ideas sound great! I am also having my girls in blue and having bright pink flowers.

I love the discussions about the songs, that is what I am working on picking now. I should here from my planner within the week (from the estimates I have heard from other DisBoards brides) I can't wait I am so excited to start the official planning.

Good luck, and I look forward to reading more!

Welcome!

Don't you just love how the pink pops against the blue?!

Songs are hard for me but i'm working on it. you'll have to post your BEO when you get it! I can't wait to get my planner and get this party started!

I'm having a minor freak out because of a phone call i got last night. I made the appointment to have my dress fitted around my sisters schedule because i wanted her to go with me. My youngest sister has been the most involved with wedding planning so i figured this would be something my other sister could do with me. So i called her THREE WEEKS ago and said i have these days off coming up... which works for you. She told me any monday in the morning because she never works monday mornings. Perfect! So i called and made an appointment for 11/16 A MONDAY at 10:30 am. I called her that same day and let her know and she said that it would work. So Last monday i called her to remind her and she didn't pick up so i left her a message as a friendly reminder that in one week we were heading to the seamstress.

Yesterday I called her because she never called me back and she said "we have a problem." I asked her what the problem was and apparently she FORGOT about getting the dress fitted and made plans to babysit her friends daughter the next few mondays. I tried not to get mad and made up an excuse to get off the phone with her. I called DF and told him what was going on and he felt really bad. He offered to go with me but he knows that he isn't supposed to see the dress. He was busy at work and had to get off the phone so i called my other sister to vent. Apparently my sister has been ditching everyone lately for reasons i wont get into but its just mean.

So about an hour later i get a phone call from her which i ignore because i didn't want to talk to her when i was this mad. She left me a nasty message. It kind of threw me over the edge. She made the comment that she doesn't understand why we have to go now if the wedding is like a year away. I was livid. I dont know how i'm going to handle this yet but i'm not a happy bride. I'm going to give one of my friends a call and see if she can go with me but where i made it in the morning TO FIT HER SCHEDULE alot of people work so i can't really ask them to take the day off on such short notice. What really worries me is the idea of my sister pulling something like this when we make the appointment to find bridesmaid dresses.

Alright i'm done with my vent. Thanks for reading all of that. Sorry it was so long. Worse case senario i go alone to this fitting but i'll make sure that for the next fitting i have backup.

I'm so sorry your sister is stressing you out so much! I had similar experiences when I was trying to round up people to go shopping, so I invited 3 hoping at least one could go (which is what happened). Knowing this, I would definitely start looking into BM dresses sooner rather than later so you have a lot of time to make sure she gets her dress!

Ugh Katie I'm so sorry! I actually went shopping three times with four different people! Once with my maid of honor, once with my matron of honor, and then with my mom and sister-in-law, and then just mom. I really liked going with so many different people. So maybe just invite a few people like Karen said and then see who can come! Although be careful to invite people who aren't coming to the wedding because that might result in hurt feelings. Ahhhh the etiquette we screw up as escape brides! It drives me nuts!

My MOH's are putting off dress shopping! Haha! I'm actually waiting until closer to shop for them because I can't seem to decide on a color scheme. I don't want to have them buy dresses and then change my mind!

Hey Katie, sorry i've been absent from your PJ lately, I'm sorry to hear you've been having problems with your family, sending you a big hug I'm lucky that my family have been great DFs family however seem to think our party when we get home is more important than the actual wedding, but you just have to put it out of your mind and think of the good stuff, have another hug

Thanks girls

I think i might call my friends and see if they can go... but like Karen said i feel like such a jerk asking people to come who aren't even going to the wedding. stupid etiquette!

I guess what hurts the most is that i feel like i should be able to rely on my sisters. I really want BOTH of them to be a part of this. I know i can't make them be a part of it but i feel like i gave her three weeks notice and asked her what worked for her and she just has no problem saying "i can't go". What worries me is that my other sister brought up an issue that makes us think that she may not go to the wedding at all. She hasn't come out and said anything to me but she told my other sister that because they now have THREE dogs one of which being a pitbull puppy (no i have nothing against pit bulls i think they are VERY misunderstood and I love my four legged nephew but lets be honest most people are jerks) and they dont think they'll be able to find someone to watch all three while they're at the wedding. So her boyfriend said he may not go so he can be home with the dogs but we worry that she wont go to the wedding because her boyfriend wont be going. I dont know i'm moving into the hurt stage i guess. i'll be fine though. i'll keep you ladies posted

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

I hope everything works out! You still have a long time, so quite a lot could change. I think most girls like the thought of being in a bridal party, so hopefully she gets more excited as it gets closer!

 

[Pirate's Princess]

I'm sorry about the sister trouble. But to play Devil's Advocate, you did mention that your sister has things going on (which sound like bad troubling things) and maybe you don't want her there with you. She seems very negative, and you shouldn't have that energy around you, when you're all happy. I definitely recommend finding someone else to go with.

And as for your other sister, there are places to take dogs where they watch them, like a kennel or the vet. I'm sure they'll be able to find someone to watch the dogs, so they can enjoy your special day with you. Maybe mention it as a idea, or let them know how much you want them there.

I would think so but i dont know why nobody seems to care about this. But whatever as long as DF and I are happy i'll pull through.

That sister is the same person. The sister that ditched me is the sister that has the dogs. The problem with her is that she kind of made her life revolve around one person and even though me and our other sister want her to be a part of our lives she can only come around us when that person isn't around. Its just difficult to deal with. I figured giving her 3 weeks notice was enough but oh well. Nothing i can do about it now. And as far as her dogs go her and her boyfriend WORK at the pet hotel at petsmart. She said that she doesn't trust leaving her dogs there because she knows how the overnight staff is. But thats neither here nor there and i'll cross that bridge when i get to it.

In good news i called a friend of mine and she thinks she'll be able to come with me or atleast get the address of the shop and meet me there for alittle while before she needs to go to her prior commitment. So i'm feeling alittle bit better about the situation. Shes also one of those great friends that is brutally honest so she'll make sure everything looks picture perfect!

Hey Katie I have just been catching up on you're PJ and I am so sorry that you have had so many problems, it must make it worse when allot of them are coming form you family But I am so happy that you're still having you're wedding at Disney you would always regret it if you let this dream go. It should be a day about how much you and Adam love each other what anyone else wants or thinks is just to bad. You're going to have a beautiful wedding and look like a really life princess no one can take that away from you

Scarlett you are absolutly right. I was, and still am, hurt by my sister. It just stinks that i was really excited to share this moment with her but since i can't change her or the situation i'm going to be happy knowing that my friend will be coming with me. I'm very lucky to have her.

And i totally agree that if i let family talk us out of this we BOTH would regret it. We are going to keep on truckin forward with out plans. Whoever comes, comes and thats the end of it. Adam and I will be so happy on our wedding day that nothing will be able to bring us down... so let them just try! Hahaha. I'm trying to get out of this funk and think about the conversation i had with randy and how psyched i am about doing the first look on the bridge at animal kingdom and how amazing our fireworks pictures are going to come out at the DP. Just typing that made me happy. hehe

I'm over it

 

[MainStMandy]

Hey Katie, just wanted to say sorry you are dealing with this. It's probably the last thing you need right now!

Thanks Mandy... but really i'm ok now.


I am very glad i have my friend coming with me and another girl from work who works second shift said she is going to try and come too! I'm so glad they both offered to come with me. It makes me really happy to know that family may not be supportive but my friends are. Maybe i should only invite friends to the wedding.

p.s. i just made my 2000 post! I'm on here alot!!!

That's why my two MOH's are my two good friends! They're much less drama!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Sorry that you are dealing with all of this with your sister. That sucks! I'm glad you have friends to go with you!

I am very glad my friend will be going. I called her last night to confirm everything and i think shes more excited than i am! If we're not too long at the seamstress we might go grab a bite to eat for lunch and have some girl time.

I also did some searching online for alternative bridesmaid dresses. For some reason the one i posted earlier in my PJ is making me have second thoughts. I saw a few more that i think would work but we'll see. I'll post some later today when i get home

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

You have to post the new dresses you are thinking of!!! And Yay for one of your friends coming with you!

 

[figment fan21]

I will I promise!! There are some cute seperates on DB's website that i thought might look nice on them. I'm even toying around with the idea of maybe letting them each pick out their own dress just as long as its the same length and color. hmmmmm... decisions, decisions....

And i'm still waiting to hear but i might have another one of my girls come with us to the fitting. She just needs to make sure her husband can watch her little ones! So i went from nobody coming to two people! WOOHOO!

 

[shippedtosea]

uh oh I missed the drama yesterday!!! Katie I'm so sorry your sister is being like this. It REALLY sucks. I know how excited you were to go to the fitting. WHO CARES when your wedding is. This is when you wanted to go! I hope things work out...hopefully she will come around in a years time and things won't be like this. (not coming because of dogs...even how much she loves them....would be insane..) At least you still have your younger sister! and your not alone you do have your dis brides! I hope you can find someone to go with you...(I'd come! ) feel better hun! keep us posted!

 

[rebecca_boo]

Katie I am glad you found people to go with you!!!
