Annie & Ed's PJ WP/WHR/France 1/11/11- I'm Back and w/ a preview of Pro-Wedding Pics!

[puente0629]

Hi,

Well I haven't updated in a while because so many things have been going on. First, we became Disney Vacation Club member's last week!!!! Second, my sis and nieces moved because they just sold their house. Last, my hubby has been going to interview's for a job in his hometown Chicago, so we might be moving. eeekkk!!!

We are thinking about moving our wedding date up to November or December 2011 due to the weather (June is a scorcher) and if we end up moving to Chicago it will give us time to recover the some money back.

That's all for now, hope to have more new's soon...

Thanks,

Hi! I just saw the link to your pj from your post on the DVC board. We just joined DVC too! We will be making our first trip to BLT for our DFTW and honeymoon in April. So I need to go and read completely through your PJ now.

Oh, btw, i live in the Chicago SW Burbs. Pushing the wedding back a few months may be a good idea if you do move. DF and I have been engaged 2 years and can't imagine how tight money would be if we had bought a condo and tried to save for the wedding all within a year. Chicagoland housing is expensive!! HTH! Can't wait to hear more of your plans.

Hi Annie!

I just looked over your PJ and LOVE your ideas!! I sent you a PM about the menus--hope that helps!

I love my DVC--been a member for 3-4 years. I love Disney and travel so it doesn't get any better than that!! DVC rocks!

I'm also an Escape bride (we think we'll have a total of 24), and we added a reception at Narcoossee's. You can make Escape as complex or simple as you like. I say that I'm a Wishes bride without the room block!

Take care. I'm going to subscribe!!

Yeah, that's probably what we may do if he get's the job...we'll be neighbor's, lol!!

Thanks for the menu...

I'm thinking about changing to a wishes wedding because we want to invite a couple of more close family members so it depends if they say yes.

Hey,

Well, my hubby got the job offer for the new VP position in Chicago...so I guess we are moving!!! I'm so excited but at the same time extremely nervous but I know this is a great move for the both of us. So, now we are trying to decide the new best wedding date for us, either 11/1/2011 or 12/1/2011...decisions, decisions!!!!

We are also thinking about changing the theme for the wedding...doing a Parisian/Vintage/Gatsby look, something like this...

Inspiration Boards

Table Decor

Hairstyle

Boutonniere

have the ribbon in black

Cake

Bouquet

With black and white anemone

Any opinions?

Congrats to your DH, that sounds like a great opportunity! Good luck with the move.

Hmm, November or December... December 1st is kinda close to Thanksgiving, people may already be traveling for that so to travel the week after for the wedding may not be possible for them. You know your family and friends and if that's the case, but just something to consider. In December you'd have all the Christmas decorations up and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, which could both be really fun.

Both the new theme ideas are great. I think I like the first inspiration board a little better.

We considered that but like like it's a "destination" wedding I'm sending the Save the Date's well in advance that our family and friends would know that they have a commitment on Dec. 1, also I spoke to many of them and this would be their big trip for the year.

 

[MainStMandy]

Oh I love the new look! That cake is just gorgeous!!

 

[Chilly]

I like both the old and new themes.

 

[puente0629]

Thanks...I'm deciding between both still. Now that we pushed the date up, it sucks to know we have to wait even longer to start the actual planning with a coordinator.

 

[puente0629]

Hi,

We finally chose a date...Dec. 1, 2011 and we decided how many days to stay at WDW and when to take our Disney Cruise. We will be staying at Disney's BoardWalk from Nov. 20-Dec. 11 and then we are going on the Disney Dream from Dec. 11-15. Though, we might split our stay between the BoardWalk and Bay Lake Tower.

We just put our house on the market and will be moving soon to Chicago.

Hi,

So I haven't had many updates lately but with a wedding 2 yrs away there wasn't much to plan...but GOOD NEWS...we are moving up the wedding date to 1/11/11 which is less then a year away...I just called Disney and we were assigned Bill as a planner and I am suppose to receive a call soon from him...has anyone had him for a planner, if so, how was/is he?...Once we have our date set in stone we will start sending our the save the date's followed by newsletters, as my family needs a lot of info when traveling and for a wedding (latino's, lol)...


Ceremony Location: French Pavilion in Epcot -or- SBP

Reception: Attic -or- Atlantic Dance Hall (Brunch)

Save the Date's:

This one with a vintage paris pic...

This one in black and a light antique pink

 

[MainStMandy]

How exciting!! You girls that get in on the special pricing is AWESOME!!

I like the second STD the best!! Very cool!

 

[LLLBelle]

So exciting that you are moving the date up! I like all of the save the dates, I think I like the third one best, but I think the second one might fit your over all theme better.

 

[puente0629]

I spoke to Bill today and he has put on hold our date of 1/11/11 for the French Pavilion and the Attic...I am so freaking excited!!!! I already sent to him the room blocks, we chose the BoardWalk, Port Orleans-FQ and the POP Century!!! I'm also looking through the Brunch and Bar packages, probably going with Tinkerbell's Brunch and the beer and wine package. Just waiting for the LOA and we are good to go!!!!

 

[pink_tink8i8]

congrats on getting your date!! that's exciting

 

[BecBennett]

Wow, everything seems to be happening so quickly for you now! How exciting!

I love the pic of the bouquet! I've stolen a copy for my inspiration pics

So have you moved yet? I love the idea of moving house, but hate the idea of moving towns, so I hope everything works out for you.

Everything IS happening really quick, which isn't bad but a lot of work. My husband is already up there with his mom and I've been traveling back and forth but this week we are officially moving to Chicago. We are doing a road trip from Ft. Lauderdale to East Chicago, IN. I'm flattered you like my idea for the bouquet...I'll check out your PJ...

Bought the monogram garter in pink and white...looks similar to this...

Also, I bought my hubby's cufflinks...
