Brittany and Chris October 12, 2011 escape wedding PJ

[2nd Time Bride]

So, Chris and I have been talking about the wedding and I was saying that I was upset bc we aren't doing any cool disney things, bc he doesn't want a dessert party or a catered evetn by DFTW, we are just having a normal reservation at Tonys in MK. So, he said we could either have Mickey and Minnie come to the wedding OR we can do a MK/HS photo shoot. He says he prefers the photoshoot and I think I might be leaning that way too. I would do it the morning of the wedding and I want a 10 am ceremony. I'm kind of nervous bc I don't know if my hair and make up will stay nice throughout the whole morning. Also, I know the photo shoots are are 5 and 6, I would prefer 6 since we are far from morning people, but I wonder if that would be cutting it too close to the 10 am ceremony. Also, that kind of kills my getting ready pics bc no one will be up at that time, I don't really care about those pics since we will have so many others, especially with the photo shoot, so I guess that would be fine, I just want to look my best for the ceremony. Also, does the photoshoots come with a DVD, or you do have to purchase that seperately? That just gives me lots to think about...

Other than that I keep flip flopping on colors and flowers, I donno what colors I want and I like gerber daisies but chris wants me to have roses, so many choices it's hard to decide..

Personally, I think the photo shoot is a great choice, you will have the pics forever! We are going to have the MK/Epcot photo shoot and it did not come with the DVD. So, we upgraded the ceremony to the Cinderella D package (which comes with the DVD) and Rosie assured us ALL our wedding pics would then be on that single DVD.

Were you able to book the day of your wedding for the photo shoot? We weren't and had to book the day after our wedding, so hair and makeup is coming out twice. Oh well, at least we got the day after so I don't need a bouquet refresh!!

We haven't booked our wedding yet, we aren't allowed to untilk Febuary, so I didn't even really consider not getting our wedding date, so I guess we will have to wait and see, we aren't really morning people, so we thought it would be easier just to get everything done in one day. but, we were pretty set on going with an outside photographer, how much did it cost to upgrade and get the DVD? If you don't mind me asking.

If you don't mind me asking.

The upgrade to the Cinderella D package was $750 and then the MK/Epcot photo shoot was $1400. With tax the photography add on came to $2,289.75.

The only floral refresh we are getting is DF's (well he will be DH then!) boutonnière. He will take his jacket off after the ceremony and the original one will most likely get squished. It was only $18 for the second boutonnière.

I forgot you are so far out, since you are at the same time of year (exactly!!) that we are, this might apply - I was not asked which time I prefer, we were just given 6am. We are not morning people either, so I am going to call room service and order a full pot of coffee for each of us that morning!

It is probably one of the most beautiful places ever, I love the boardwalk too, a little out of our budget to stay though, haha. I have looked through your PJ and saw your pics on Randy's site, your wedding looked very beautiful!!! Thanks! I hope I get my date too. fingers crossed (for 4 more months).

Thanks so much for the help! That is a lot of money for photogragphy. We now are torn, bc we were going to hire Randy (he said he would hold our date until we were sure what we were going to do) but if we are doing the bridal shoot it would just be cheaper to use disney throughout the whole day. I have heard some not nice things about disney photograhy, so I am looking forward to seeing your pics and hearing your reviews. Also, now I'm thinking it might be too much to spend on photos, so I donno. But your wedding is so close, you must be thrilled!!!! That's very exciting! Hope all the last minute planning is going good!

I haven't posted on here in forever. Not much happens since I can't book until Feb. But anyways, we were thrilled to hear about the 20% off escape packages, bc that will help us so much, as long as we get our day and time. We were on the fence about mickey and minnie and or a bridal shoot but now with the savings we decided we can do one! So, our plan is, if we can get an MK photo shoot the morning of the wedding we will do that. The reason I want it on the morning of is because we don't like getting up early, so getting it all done in one day will be great, since our ceremony is at 10 a.m. Also it saves money with floral and hair and make up. If we can't get it on our wedding day, we will have mickey and minnie.

Also, I am having second thoughts about my dress. I got it at DB and am fuzzy on the exchange policy, since everyone tells me a diff answer, so I'm not sure what to do. I feel like I rushed into getting a dress and I'm not sure now if it's what I want. On the other hand, Chris is in love with the dress and doesn't want me to change it. So I feel kinda stuck.

Also, we got save the dates from vistaprints.com, we just got business cards bc they were free, we got them in today, BUT guess what it doesn't have on them.... THE DATE! Whos makes a save the DATE without the DATE on them.... yea that's me. I was dissapointed, but on the other hand they were free, and only 5 bucks for shipping, so I guess we will have to do it again. I was just so excited to get them in and then they were messed up and I feel weird about my dress and I'm really anxious for it to be febuary. So i've been having a little of wedding stress.
