Anyone have any spare pixie dust??

[EvilinaDM101]

SO we will be leaving in 5 days to head to WDW and then we are going to be married 4 days later. WELL, if you've ever been on the Disney Wedding boards you will find a lot of posts on there from me. Anyway, it's been a year of planning and 2 WDW trips later everything is finally done and we are to be married. Unfortunately, I was blessed to have a hectic family to deal with and over the past year have dealt with them about being at the wedding to not being at the wedding and now are finally deciding to be there(after lots of arguments, hateful words said, and a whole lot of tears). This decision was made about a week and a half ago. SO! With all this drama, I've put up the emotional Numbers/Blockers and with everything now in its place I can't get excited. 5 days out I still feel like I am in a daze. Any words or spare pixie dust will be greatly appreciated. I want to dance and be excited!!

You will have a beautiful wedding...a dream is a wish your heart makes...and not even your family will be able to spoil it! Congrats and post pics!

That's what happens when you get married. Just try to have fun before the actual wedding. Don't let anyone or anything try and ruin your big day. Good luck and congrats.

Take an hour or even a few minutes and go back and look at pictures of your past trips. That always helps me get excited about going. Before My sisters wedding the two of us would get travel magazines and had a great deal of fun looking at those. We also looked at a bunch of bridal magaines while still planning the wedding. If you dont have a lot of time and have digital pictures of your past trips, try setting them as a screen saver on your computer then they just pop up for a little instant pixie dust!

Having to deal with my son's wedding a year and a half ago via long distance (it wasn't at Disney World), I can certainly sympathize. I had my side of the family complaining about, of all things, the darn date! It was February 6th in Toledo, Ohio. The date was extremely important as that would have been my new daughter-in-law's grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary. I heard "it's a Friday, people won't be able to get off work", "it's going to be cold, we can't deal with cold", "it's going to snow". It had to keep reminding them of the one important fact that people seem to forget with a wedding. It's the bride's and the groom's not theirs. As it turned out, it was one of the best weddings I've ever been too and that's not a biased opinion. Nothing went wrong. The day was chilly but not frigid, it lightly snowed the day before and that made everything prettier.

Just remember one thing - you will be committing yourself to someone you love for the rest of your life. That's the important part. It doesn't matter if there's two hundred people there or two. My wedding was 24 years ago and we had a grand total of 22 people including us. We're still together.

Relax and enjoy yourself. It is YOUR day.

Here's some pixie dust. You are so lucky to be getting married and at disney for that matter. Don't let your family get to you. It is your day. My sister got married in las vegas and told the family no one was invited. we were a little hurt but we got over it. Have a very happy day.

Sweetheart - remember this if nothing else.

This day is about you and your fiance uniting as one for the rest of your lives. No amount of hurtful pasts can take away what this day to come is for and about.

You have a beautiful wedding, let your families see how happy you both are and trust me, they will have no choice but to be happy for you and with you. After all, nobody in their right mind can go to WDW and be anything but happy.

Here is some pixie dust for a magical wedding!!!

Okay- with that said, please do not let anyone or anything ruin your day, you will regret it if you do. This day is about the two of you and with all the planning and commotion is it easy to lose sight of that. So make a promise to yourself today that you will start to enjoy these last days leading up to your big day, and that nothing will stand in your way!!! Be stubborn and unrelenting about it--demand positive thinking, excitement and gratitiude from yourself. You and your DF deserve nothing less. Good Luck!!!

Another Big Dose of Pixie Dust to you both. Enjoy YOUR day!!

Heres wishing you a wonderful wedding and a wonderful life together. Don't let others drag you down. My Dh and I had family problems when we decided to get married too. A lot said they wouldn't come they didn't want anything to do with it. Well we hung in there, because we loved eachother. And they came around. And three years later Dh and I are still crazy about eachother and the family agreed they made rash emotional decisions before. Follow your heart, and I hope it turns out as well for you as it has for me!

 

[GC&S]

Sending lots of pixie dust your way!

Please don't lose sight of the reason you are going - you will have a great wedding! Don't let anyone ruin your excitement - your wedding will fly by -don't get caught up in all the bickering.

Have a wonderful time

 

[minkydog]

Bless your heart It's going to be okay. This is pretty common pre-wedding, whether you're getting married at WDW or somewhere else. By the time DH & I walked down the aisle I was ready to scream. In my pictures i look radiant, but after the ceremony i had to throw up I could hardly wait to get out of town.

And here we are, counting down to our 25th wedding anniversary. I hope you will be blissfully happy and all the pain you've been going through will melt away with the years.

 

[Wishes]

I don't know if you're flying into Orlando, but for me when we get off the plane and see our first palm tree it's like all our worries just melt away and that Disney magic feeling starts to happen! I'm sure once you get down there and can really see that this wonderful day for you and your one true love is really going to happen all your worries will just disappear! I didn't get married at Disney but did spend my honeymoon there and I can't think of a better place to start off a beautiful life with the one you love! Good luck, have fun and I wish you much happiness in the years to come!

I'm spreading some Pixie Dust your way. Just remember this is YOUR special day- I think in the end everything will work out. When your family arrives they will probably relax and realize that you're getting married in a wonderful place (where else can you have the real fairy tell wedding!). They will probably talk about how much fun they had at your wedding for years to come! Do yourself a favor - book some time at one of the spas, and tell everyone you see during your trip that you're just getting married. It's a sure fire way of getting people to smile and share in your joy. Congrats to you both and may you have many, many wonderful years of happiness.

This is the day for the both of you. Don't let anyone get in your way.

We had the same thing when we got married 5 years ago. The first place we picked for our reception was too far away (20 miles) everyone had something to say..on my DH side of the family. Then the topper of all my husbands sister wanted to be the BEST MAN. Then we were going to get married at WDW...and they had lots to say about that. We then decided to not spend a dime on these people and we went off to the caribbean and got married on Virgin Gorda on the beach at sunset....just the 2 of us. After 10 days in paradise we wnet to where else..... WDW for 5 days! We spent the money that would have gone to a wedding and reception and spent it just on us and had the wedding we dreamed of. When we came home my parents had a big bash for us...minus the new "outlaws". We just did not want them around...including his mother... That's what worked for us...I still don't talk to them much. They do serve a purpose however...without people like them Jerry Springer would not have a show

You will have a beautiful wedding. No matter how many people are there or what they have said, your wedding is a celebration of the love between the two of you - nobody else. Nobody and nothing can get between that.

If they get out of hand you can always hire "the Beast" as your body guard...he's pretty indimidating!

Have a beautiful wedding lots of pixie dust to you.

Good luck girl you will forget about it... we had a huge wedding with like 50 people that either flew or drove to las vegas with us... and becuase of my husband's brother was fighting with the dad... the dad didnt think he would make it.. and until their flight got in we were under the impression that the dad wasnt coming we even called right before they left for the airport and he said no ( it was a family bussiness and someone had to stay and run the bussiness is why the dad thought he might not make it)

I think you'll find plenty of Pixie Dust once you actually get to WDW, and the setting itself will make many of your cares fall away.

I used to work in the floral biz and would see the frustration between brides and their Moms, MIL, bridesmaids, etc. Sometimes I would slip my card to the bride with a little note on the back to call me - they knew what they wanted for their wedding, but were just getting pulled too many ways. We'd work on it without the entourage when the bride would call.

Keep first and foremost in your mind the things that are important to you and your DFi. When others try to "advise" you, remember phrases like "Thank you for bringing that to my attention" "I'll take that into consideration" and "I'm sorry you feel that way." Most people just want to put in their 2 cents...it doesn't mean you have to act on it.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding - I know it will be beautiful!

Pixiedust to you!!! Remember, this is your day..no one else's. I remember having those same issues to deal with and my wedding was in the town I live in and the reception was a 6 mile drive away!!! So, no one is immune from those wedding issues. But, and this is a big but......you are marrying in WDW. What could be better. Do your thing and let all the rest of the 'stuff' be a memory. This is a day for you two..not mothers, not fathers, not cousins, not anyone but you!!! This is all about you!!! Your day. Go, be blissfull, be happy. I hope your day is beautiful and all that you have wished it to be. Here's to a wonderful Disney wedding!!!

 

[Tinkbell]

This is YOUR wedding......YOUR special day. Don't let family dictate your happiness. Here's hoping you're sprinkled with pixie dust.
