~*Amy and Shawn’s PJ*~June 6th, 2011 - Our Hawaiian Honeymoon!

[belle2211]

So glad I'm not the only one! Honestly, I'm very excited, but I'm at the point where I just can't wait for it to be over and me and DF to be on our honeymoon!

Same here! But honestly I'm so worried about the wedding that I've been looking forward to it for 30 years and then BAM! it's going to be over! I feel like it was that way with my Bachelorette party and Bridal shower...where I have a hard time realizing that two things I'd always looked forward to are already done! (if any of that makes sense)

Yes that makes sense, I know what you mean. I go back and forth between being sad that my wedding will be over soon and I will no longer being engaged and planning, and then not being able to wait until it's over because it's so stressful planning it lol. It depends on the day!

Ok I need to vent about something. Since I have been planning my wedding with Disney, this is what they have changed:

1. My planner - after being a few months into planning, I got my planner switched, which was not that big of a deal since I was still pretty far out.
2. My room block person
3. My assistant planner -and I have never been contacted by a new one so IDK if Amy no longer has an assistant or if the new one just never contacted me.
4. My florist- I just got an email the other day (and I am less than 6 weeks out) that my florist accepted a new position and I have a new florist now.

REALLY? I have not had one steady person throughout this planning process? I find it kind of annoying that I am constantly getting emails that I have a new person helping with my wedding, I can't even keep everyone straight! On top of that, my total payment is due this Friday, and I have yet to receive a bill. I don't know what my final total is, and it needs to be to Florida by Friday, so IDK what I should do?

OMG! Call them up and scream at them, that's what I would do! Haha, just kidding (sort of). I'm sorry, that really sucks, and I can understand why you are upset. You have Amy Riendeau as your planner right? I emailed her a couple weeks ago and they had not yet assigned her a new assistant. She told me she would let me know as soon as she got one, but I haven't heard anything yet, so I'm assuming that she still is without one.

As far as not having your final bill, that is ridiculous. I would call Amy and ask her what is up, because that is a big deal. How can they expect you to send them payment when they haven't even told you how much you owe??? Hope things get better for you soon!!!

 

[lzimm13]

oh wow all those switch-a-roos would have me really upset too! as for a "final bill" I didn't get one either. I got my "final" beo and I mean I can do simple math but you never know what taxes and extra fees they throw in. I'm just going to estimate and if there is anything missing they can take it out of my $1k that they're holding. lol

 

[DVC Bride 2011]

I would be frustrated too. Especially being so close out! I am sure your day will still be wonderful though. I love all your recent updates. Can you believe how close you are?! The last year has absolutely flown by. Can't wait to see how your day turns out!!

 

[Sccrmnky2005]

Hope that your getting things done, Just wanted to check in and hope that from now until your wedding everything runs smoothly!!

I will deff. come on and update on plans on Friday when I finish with all this school caziness! I can't believe I'm less than a month away!

Yes it is! Congrats to you as well. I am beyond excited to finally be done with undergraduate school!

 

[*Pixiedust1438*]

I finally have a chance to do an update! First, here is a picture of my new car! I love it!

Now that I am done with school, I am going into major planning mode for the next 3 1/2 weeks. I have soooo much still to do, but luckily I won't be working very much until we get back from the honeymoon, so hopefully I will be able to get everything done. Here is what my next few weeks look like:

Saturday May 14 - Graduation

Tuesday May 17 - Ladies night out shopping trip with some of my bridesmaids for clothes for Florida and the honeymoon.

Friday May 20 - Getting my hair done. Bachelorette/Bachelor parties at night

Saturday May 21 - Dress fitting

Sunday May 22 - Bridal Shower

Saturday June 4 - Leave for Disney!

I'm excited for all the upcoming events! In between all of this, I still need to do the following:

1. Make and send out rehearsal dinner invitations
2. Make boutonnieres for the guys
3. Make menus, bathroom basket signs, and door signs
4. Newsletter and welcome folders to go in the welcome bags (luckily my sister has been working on putting the bags together)
5. Fill out form for DJ
6. Contact Randy and Luther to finalize plans
7. Organize a shot list for Randy
8. Practice and decide on what I am doing with my hair the day of the wedding
9. Book car rental, zipline tour, etc. for honeymoon
10. Get directions and organize all info. for Disney and Hawaii
11. A few gifts, something for my MOH and the other half of the groomsmen gifts (so fat we got them $25 Disney Golf gift cards)
12. Make my Disney bride t-shirt
13. Make-up trial and buy make-up
14. Organize reception/ceremony bins, pack, and figure out how on earth I am getting all this stuff down to Disney!
15. Possibly take a few dance lessons, although we are quickly running out of time!
And, continue working out, I still need to lose 6 more pounds to meet my goal for the wedding.

I feel like i have soooo much to do and so little time, I really hope I can get it all done!

Yay for the day off today, I got so much accomplished! I was able to make and send out the rehearsal invitations, put together the bathroom baskets, and make the menus! I feel very productive. I also put the place cards in alphabetical order, and now I am going to try on all my clothes and start planning my outfits for Disney and Hawaii. Here are some pictures of some of the things I got done today. Three weeks from right now I will be on my way to the Wedding Pavilion!

Rehearsal Invitations... I know they don't match my colors, but I got them on clearance from Micheal's for $2, and I think their super cute!

Menu Cards

Bathroom Baskets and Signs

 

[KristiLyn]

Yay for 3 weeks!!!
Those invitations look great!!!
And the bathroom baskets and signs are such a good idea!

 

[tinkerbell 766]

These are all lovely - your crafting talents are very apparent!!!
You are so close!!! You must be so excited!!!! Enjoy these last few weeks of planning!!!

 

[donald&daisy]

Fun! I love all the stuff you've made and nice car, btw!!!! You must be SO excited...I'm excited for you, lol.

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

I don't think I said congratulations on graduating--- so congrats!!! It's such a good feeling! And your new car is SO nice and could totally eat my VW Bug for breakfast.

Also, I really like your invitations! Very nice. And GREAT find on the rehearsal invites! I don't really think invitations have to match, and $2 is a STEAL!
