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

[Boardwalk_bride]

It definatly makes wayyyy more sense to do it that way as opposed to BOMA and then the DP. And in the long run would be cheaper i think.

I wish i knew why the sales consultant said i couldn't do it. I want my offical planner!!! lol

Yah, that is super annoying. I really didn't like my sales consultant. She basically said no to everything. My WP is so much better, and she does what she can to bend the rules, without breaking them. Don't worry...it'll happen soon enough November-Jan always flies by!

 

[figment fan21]

I can't wait to get my planner. i hope its the same one you have.
Somtimes i want to tell her about the boards and tell her that i know its a possibility but its not worth it. I'll just wait until feb.

 

[pezaddict231]

I am so glad i'm getting such good reviews on tusker house! And thank you so much for the advice on how to invite people That makes perfect sense and i think thats how i'll do it. It isn't a bad thing if i make an ADR for everyone and not everybody shows up right? Is there some unwritten disney law that you can't do that?

It was really our favorite! The food was really good too.

Anytime. I've seen a few other brides do it that way, and this way I'll just make large group ADR's and people can let us know if they want to come. I was going to stick with groups of 10-12 and ask people to kinda sign up. This way I can change the reservation if less people wanted to come and then I won't feel guilty. Or if we get a lot of people that want to go to one place we can try to add more to the ressie.

That sounds like a good idea!

Do they really? Thats kind of funny when you think about it. I wonder how they feel about Carrie's book and all of us conversating about our plans and what they will and will not allow!

 

[Chilly]

They also seem to change the rules a lot which doesn't help.

 

[figment fan21]

Yea they do but its ok. We'll figure it out.

At this point i'm alittle down about the whole wedding thing. I'm having some family giving me a hard time again... ::cough my mother cough::.... I have alot of stuff bouncing around in my head and i hate to say this but i'm second guessing everything i'm doing again. I didn't get much sleep last night and I hate that things are getting to me but they are.

I'll feel better tomorrow i'm sure but it just doesn't help that i emailed my "sales consultant" almost two weeks ago just to get some general information about DP's and i still haven't heard back to her, thank goodness i have you girls and Randy (whose given me alot of info) to help me out with all this. I'm an OCD bride and i want to feel like i'm getting things done and i understand that all escape brides need to wait 8 months but i just feel like this is my wedding, i know its a small one, but its still my one and only wedding. I want to make sure its perfect and i wish i had things booked so that when people DO give me a hard time i can atleast come back with "well we're doing this and that and our wedding is going to be amazing!" But i feel like i dont want to say anything since nothing is set in stone.

Ugh... i'm sorry for the rant girls... i just needed to get that all out.

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

Ohh, I totally understand how you feel. I am still second guessing myself even though everything is booked. Its hard to ignore family members criticizing everything, but try to ignore them, and do what you and your DF want!

Katie I'm so sorry! BIIIG HUGS!!! The eight month window is also driving me absolutely insaaaane! I think at this point you just have to go off of what other brides have done. Who is your sales consultant if you don't mind me asking (you can PM me if you want). If you want I can totally email mine and ask the same question to see if I get a response for you!

Keep your chin up, February will be here before you know it. Maybe just put your wedding on the back burner for a couple of weeks and take a breather. I know sometimes I just need to stop and take a step back, it really helps me put things into perspective.

 

[figment fan21]

Thanks Karen. I wish people weren't so mean... especially someone who should be involved in the planning. I still have NOT talked to my mother since the last conversation when she found out (through facebook i might add) that i was having the wedding in disney. She has not seen my dress, my veil, my bouquet, nothing. Its just very frusterating and no matter how many times i think i'm at peace with her actions she starts up again and i hear about her "issues" with me from other family members. its not fair.

I'm second guessing things that i shouldn't be and the more i type the more i think that i'm not going to change anything to make anyone else happy. Adam and I have talked about having the wedding in disney from the SECOND we got engaged there... which was one year ago tomorrow. (love him!) I remember going to EPCOT the day after we got engaged and we walked over to the boardwalk and we saw SBP and YCG and we talked about getting married there but not thinking we could afford it. The fact that we can afford it and we're so excited about it is why we NEED to do this. We'd be so upset with ourselves if we didn't do it.

[rebecca_boo]

Katie I am sorry you are having a rough time. The wedding is about you and DF not all of the family, though family is important I know. I wish you happy thoughts. *Hug*

 

[shippedtosea]

Oh Katie...I'm sorry you are having a bad day..Its hard when not everyone is on your side about your choices. This is YOUR day and you want what you want. You can't please everyone, and they will get over it. You are already doing a lot to try an please people. You don't want to look back and regret choices because other people whined at you. Take a deep breath now and think about how pretty your dress is...or how lovely your flowers are going to be!!! It absolutely sucks that you have to wait til 8 months and i'd be going crazy...but it won't be too much longer! (and your wedding is going to be amazing so you can say that!!!)

I hope you feel better dear. Rant AWAY!

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

facebook is the devil! Once I found out my mom was on there, I made my privacy settings so high so that she couldn't see anything...and I refuse to add her I think over the last year, I ended up deleting over 200 people cause I was starting to keep so creeped out.

Thanks rebecca. Family is important but family should also want to see us happy...

Thank you for the happy thoughts.

Thank you so much! You're right. I have to keep looking at the positives and forget about everyone else and their negative vibes.

OMG me too!!!! I took most of the people in my family off my friends list and anyone that knows me mom. i made everything (even my profile picture) private. It got alittle wierd when my mother was friending my friends.

 

[malibustacey]

Katie, you know what I am going to say.

Dont let anyone get to you. This is about you and Adam. This time leading up to the wedding should be fun, and just a little stressful but you shouldnt be feeling like this because of family members putting you down. Remember all the advice you gave to me- i feel so strong now after all the things you said to me- and if anyone tried to tell me something that i didnt want to hear or anything bad in relation to the wedding or if anyone was arsey about it- i know i can face them now! I will try SO hard not to let it get to me because its not worth the stress and the no sleep. So what if your wedding / booking is not set in stone- you know what you are having, and so what if things might change a little slightly- your guests dont need to know such details, it could be a surprise for them. All the guests need to know is what date and what time they need to be there. Your family is important, and i wish that they supported all your decisions. If they dont, who cares- they cannot do anything can they? Do not start changing your mind because of other people. You need to think about you and Adam, and what makes you happy. Again, this is YOUR wedding.

Ohhh and heres some huggles.

 

[Pirate's Princess]

I'm sorry about the drama Katie. Family really should be supportive, and it stinks that they aren't but you have us for support! I say do what makes you and Adam happy. And I'm sure you are going to have a beautiful and wonderful wedding day!

 

[figmentfan814]

I am so sorry that you have had so much additional stress from your mom. My parents were supportive, but we had a lot of problems witH DH's family. Is she upset that its a destination wedding or just that it's at Disney? I was surprised how many people thought it was okay to tell us that our wedding was going to be childish or that it was stupid to get married at WDW. You know what though? In the end, they all told us they couldn't believe how beautiful our wedding was compared to other weddings (even those who didn't attend). We had some family and friends that were upset because we couldn't have a large guest list, but having our at-home reception really helped push all those feelings away because they still felt included and part of our big day in the end

 

[figment fan21]

Hey ladies,

Sorry i've been MIA the past few days. I was sick, working over time, and i'm finally getting out of this slump. I'm not going to talk about nasty family anymore. The people who love me are the supportive family members and the ones who are being negative are people i dont need to surround myself with right now. So yea... i'm moving forward in a positive direction. DF and I had a nice long talk the other night about alot of different things. I just love how he is on the same page as me and knows exactly what to say to make me feel better. He re-assured me that the wedding in disney is exactly what he wants too and that after we are married we will do all kinds of fun things like travel together. So i'm feeling better mentally, emotionally, and physically (thanks to anti-biotics).

As far as wedding planning goes.....

Our one year of engagement anniversary was on wend. I can't believe its been a whole year already! CRAZY!

I'm going to get my dress altered a week from monday and i can't wait!

I sent my first check to the people i'm renting DVC points from and now i'm just waiting for them to forward me the confirmation letter from disney! WOOHOO!

Other than that there really isn't much more i can do right now until Feb. So if my postings are slim thats why.

Oh and one more thing... have any of you seen the movie "i love you, man"? Did you see the blue tux he wore for the wedding! DF and I loved that! hahahaha He wants to see if he can find something more like that for our wedding. I LOVE the idea!

Talk to you girls soon!

 

[shippedtosea]

Hey Katie! Hope your feeling better, I was sick all week too...guess its going around..

Happy 1 year anny!

I missed your last post. I can't believe people said that your wedding was childish!! Thats crazy. I'd rather have a childish wedding then a stuck up one! psh. people suck.

Good luck on your alterations! Make sure to bring a camera! hehe


I have not see that movie (is it good?) but I will now that I know there is a navy tux!
