Andrea & Kory's 6/11/11 Wishes Wedding--WP&GF Ballroom**Updated 8/15 Ann. Pics Last!

Okay, so I want Disney jewelry for the wedding. And I am a HUGE Belle fan, so I LOVE these earrings

Unfortunately, I don't like the matching necklace (I don't like the pearls with it)

I do however like the other Belle necklace, but it doesn't really match. Do you think they would clash too much?

I also like these snow white ones

What do you guys think?

 

[MissManners]

I think the last one would be PERFECT with those earrings... the flower theme carries through nicely, I think they would be gorgeous together! I agree with you, I am not a fan of the pearls on the first one.

look what came in the mail today

 

[belle2211]

Well, I can now say that I am getting married next month!!!

(thanks to Emma for posting it on her PJ, making me realize it was true for me too!)

Okay, I am writing up my final draft of my ceremony working for Rev Day. I want to have my grandfather do a reading. How do I put that in the ceremony? Do I have Rev Day say something like "And now Andrea's grandfather will read from ART OF MARRIAGE ~ By Wilferd A. Peterson" or whatever we choose? Or does my grandfather just pay attention when to stand up and go?

Yay a month!!!

I think the Rev says something. Just like you said. And have it in the program - do you have a program?

I love the Belle earrings!

Definitely put your grandfather's reading in the program. I bet that would delight him as well as making the events go more smoothly.

The Rev. should give a little intro and stating it in the program helps too.

DH and I had my brother do that reading at our wedding almost 9 years ago. We loved it. I am reading it at our best friend's wedding in 2 weeks too.

hmm..we had decided not to do a program since we didn't think that we'd really need it and it was a way to save money. I wasn't planning on having a reading until last night and now I agree that if I did, there should be a program. Maybe I shouldn't have a reading

How much would the program cost?

I think that even if you don't have a program, you should still have your grandfather do the reading as it would probably mean so much to him.

Honestly, I'm not positive. The one's I WANT are 7.99 each!! (They're the carriage fans) but even something cheaper is going to be more than I want to spend. Or rather, I'd rather put the money towards something else instead. And unfortunately, I'm not a DIY person at all (I think I might try to see if I can make it a completely DIY-less wedding! )

But you're right, he would love to do it and so what if people don't see his name in the program. I'll just have to find a way to have Rev. Day introduce him...any ideas?

There is no need to "find a way" for him to introduce him. Family members do readings all the time and Rev. Day I am sure has introduced countless family members and friends during ceremonies.

Our reverend for our wedding introduced my brother and DH's cousin when it was their turn to do their readings. He also introduced my best friend before he sang during our ceremony. We didn't have to give him anything to say, he knew what to do.

No need to overthink this. Rev. Day is a professional, he has probably seen and done it all during a ceremony.

Good point! We're just doing the final draft to send to him, so I was thinking of how to put it in there

So I'm finally posting my bridal shower pictures! We had it at on the beach at Crescent Cove at the Yacht Club. It was Beauty and the Beast themed

The favors and the HUGE cupcakes that my mom surprised me with I paid for the bridal shower BEO so how she got this amazes me

Some pictures of the food setup

My matron of honor--I honestly don't know what I would do without her!

My wonderful mom!

[belle2211]

Sorry the pictures are ginormous!

Anyways, the shower was so much fun! The food was soooo good! We played several really fun games and my maid of honor also had these cute gold compact mirrors with pink roses on them which fit my theme perfectly!

Oh, and funny story. The whole time people kept walking by looking at us (which honestly, I loved ) Suddenly this one lady runs over to us and starts taking pictures of everything. I was like, ummm...okay. She said she just had to tell her daughter to do this for her bridal shower. Okay, all good, glad you like it. Then she asked to take a picture with me! Soooo weird! But funny story!

So I can't believe that my once-in-a-lifetime bachelorette party and bridal shower are over. It doesn't feel real--like I cant fathom that it won't happen again. If that makes any sense. I am so lucky that everything was just as I always dreamed it would be!

 

[Princess SarahK]

WOW Andrea, that shower looks gorgeous! And those cupcakes look pretty good too! Im hungry for one! I know what you mean about everything being over already..Im dreading that feeling myself!

 

[brer rabbit 28]

Ah your shower looked so lovely. How odd for the woman to want a pic with you though! I guess that must happen a lor with private parties and weddings.

 

[KristiLyn]

Your shower looked amazing!!! Glad you had a good time!!

 

[Sccrmnky2005]

I love your shower and location!!! Everything looks amazing and so much fun!! Can't believe your only ONE MONTH and 3 DAYS away!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited for you!!!!
