Alicia & Matt's -VR at the beach and celebration at WDW!!! PG 6

[aksunshine]

Thanks everyone! I'm really excited about the bags.

On the flowers, I think I've decided to do something else. Does anyone know how many roses are in the standard rose bouquet? How easy are they to dismantle?

I think I'll give everyone a rose after ceremony to toss over with a special wish or thought for Levi.

Just joining in with your planning and I have to say that is a wonderful idea.

I am so very sorry for your loss. As a mum of two boys I cannot even contemplate what you have been through.

Many congratulations on your pregnancy though, that is wonderful news.

Love all your updates so far. I really like the blue dress with the low back.

Thanks Leanne!

I've been thinking the past few days about our VR being more meaningful to include Levi. With these thoughts came memories of our wonderful WDW family vacation in 2007. It really was magical. Because Levi went to WDW I think I might rather have our VR at WDW. Believe it or not, the cost is comparable when you take EVERYTHING into consideration. The cruise itself was going to be quite costly, as I want a Verandah. THen we planned on going to WDW after the cruise. We would rent DVC points to stay in WDW. It evens out. So I have been thinking of doing WDW instead.

Now, I've already sent out letters to let people know we are planning a DCL VR, but not hardly anyone knows I am pregnant, so I don't think changing will be a problem. (BTW, we plan to celebrate baby's first while in WDW too.)

If I opt for WDW (which I am leaning toward), I think I WILL want a more wedding like dress. Isabelle will probably wear a princess custom and new baby if it is a girl. If it is a boy, I guess he can be Charming. Here are some dresses I like. This first one is my fav. so far.

Next 3 are my next favs

Wish I could see the back...?

Also pretty

In rememberance of my little man, I want blue in my flowers. These are just for ideas.

I REALLY like this one!

that is very similiar to my VR dress.....I think they are perfect! Love the blue flowers too!

 

[aksunshine]

For my hair...I think I still want an updo, but instead of tropical flowers, I want roses, or sparkely clips.

I didn't wear a veil for our wedding on 04, I wanted one like this, but could not find one.

 

[Leanne1977]

You have picked some lovely dresses there, very hard to choose. Number 1 is lovely though.
The colour of the flowers is beautiful!

I must say those little veils do have a bit of glamour about them, very chic.

Thanks Leanne and Jen!

I think this is a great idea too Alicia!!!

I love your ideas! The new dresses are beautiful and blue is my favorite color!

I don't know how you can decide between WDW and DCL. They both have many wonderful points. My son died during childbirth, so I never got to experience taking him anywhere. So I feel like he is mainly around me when I am outside. Birds, butterflies, and big open spaces (like the ocean) make me feel closest to him.

Good luck with your decision.

Hi BETH!!!!

Thanks Tanya. I am sorry for your loss. Believe me, I do understand.

I'd love to have pale blue in my dress, a sash, a lace, something...

I also think I want to add a bit of lime greem in my flowers. I've decided I will make Isabelle a flower wand, I want to make mickey head crystal clusters in lime green to tie in.

I talked to Matt a bit about location dillema. He likes WDW better I think. He said more people would probably come. I thought so too. So I think it is going to be WDW! As long as we don't surpass 16 guests we'll be fine... Do babies even count? I know Isabelle will. So maybe 17??

 

[aksunshine]

I am hoping to get some of our wedding pics up from 2004! I just have to find them...Or scan in new ones.

 

[aksunshine]

Here is one! I hope to get more on here eventually!

I did almost EVERYTHING! The invites, flowers, my make-up and hair, decor, food, even cake! I am looking forward to something more simple, and carefree for me!

GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love this wedding picture of Matt and you!!!!!

 

[Leanne1977]

What a lovely photo. Your bouquet is gorgeous!!

I am happy to hear that you have sort of decided on WDW as that is obviously the best thing for you all. You will have a very special day.

Beautiful wedding pictures!

From what i know of Escape packages, every person counts...even babies.

 

[aksunshine]

Does anyone have PICTURES of weddings at Canadian Pavilion? They are working on offering Escape ceremonies here. We had our first dinner at Le Cellier with Levi in 2007.



FROM MY 2007 TR!
After lugging our trunkload of luggage upstairs, it was back to Epcot for dinner! We were on our way to check in at Le Cellier, and behold! Kenai was waiting for us! Brother Bear is one of Isabelle's favs, so we posed for a pic!

We were one hundred yards or so from the door when the skies opened with one of those lovely FL rainshowers! And there was a 2+ hr standby wait. Luckily, I had reservations!!!!!

which I shared with Levi. Here he is with it. Cute side note, Levi had just showed a notice in silverware at THIS meal, and utilized his utensials for the whole trip.

Isabelle had the Cheddar soup-
