[KeenHo]

Just checking in and moving my Princess' thread to the top.

"No one puts baby in a corner."

Thank you to everyone who has posted ideas, comments and tips for us to use in our planning.

For those Brides who have already said "I Do!" - CONGRATULATIONS!!

For those who are patiently waiting for the special day to arrive. I know how you feel.

Have a great weekend everyone!



Howard

You are really a cute and romantic husband-to-be for the second time Cam is a lucky woman

 

[DisneyLaura]

Howard you're the sweetest person I ever heard talk about their wife (well besides mine ). She's a lucky girl

[keenercam]

Yes, I am totally spoiled rotten.

Not much to report here except that the welcome bags have arrived and I am going to pack all but one to store in Orlando next weekend. They aren't heavy or bulky but it's one less thing to tote down in January.

Our tee shirts from customized girl arrived too and they are so cute. Mine says Disney Bride on the front and Howard's Princess with both dates on the back. Howard's says "The Honeymoon Never Ended" on the front and "Cam's Prince Marrying Her Once Was Not Enough" with both dates on the back. Jenn's has Maid of Honor on the front, Andrew's has "I'm the BEST (man)" on the front. Both kids' shirts say "Mom & Dad's Disney Vow Renewal" and the date on the back. I am pleased with the price, the quality and how quickly we got them.

I also found a really cute wedding pavillion Disney pin on ebay that I HAD to have.

I opened the box from cards and pockets today and will inventory all the components later.

We are hoping to enter into a contract about a week after I get back from Disney. Then I will feel like I can breathe easy and start on newsletters, invitations, etc.

As usual, you amaze me all that you have done already! I am so happy for you and Howard! I can't tell you how much I enjoy having you as my workout buddy! You help keep me on track and now I think twice about things before I eat them.

Patty -- You are so sweet and you are so disciplined -- you truly inspire me! On to week two of Couch to 5k!! Woohoo!! And I LOVED gown shopping with you!

 

[DisneyLaura]

Cam - those shirts sound sooo cute. Did you win the pin because I think you NEED it. Can you post pictures of the shirts if you can I would love to see them.

A DEFINITE inclusion for the VR....


I can't get enough of your love babe


[spoken]
I've heard people say that
Too much of anything is not good for you, baby
Oh no
But I don't know about that
There's many times that we've loved
We've shared love and made love
It doesn't seem to me like it's enough
There's just not enough of it
There's just not enough
Oh oh, babe

[sung]
My darling, I can't get enough of your love babe
Girl, I don't know, I don't know why
Can't get enough of your love babe
Oh, some things I can't get used to
No matter how I try
Just like the more you give, the more I want
And baby, that's no lie
Oh no, babe

Tell me, what can I say?
What am I gonna do?
How should I feel when everything is you?
What kind of love is this that you're givin' me?
Is it in your kiss or just because you're sweet?

Girl, all I know is every time you're here
I feel the change
Somethin' moves
I scream your name
Look whatcha got me do'in

Darling, I can't get enough of your love babe
Girl, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
I can't get enough of your love babe
Oh no, babe

Girl, if I could only make you see
And make you understand
Girl, your love for me is all I need
And more than I can stand
Oh well, babe

How can I explain all the things I feel?
You've given me so much
Girl, you're so unreal
Still I keep loving you
More and more each time
Girl, what am I gonna do
Because you blow my mind

I get the same old feelin' every time you're here
I feel the change
Somethin' moves
I scream your name
Look whatcha got me do'in

Darling, I can't get enough of your love babe
Oh no, babe

[spoken]
Baby, let me take all of my life to find you
But you can believe it's gonna take
the rest of my life to keep you

[sung]
Oh no, babe
My darling, I can't get enough of your love babe
Yeah, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
Can't get enough of your love babe
Oh my darling, I can't get enough of your love babe
Oh babe
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
I can't get enough of your love babe
Oh babe

We were thinking of walking down the aisle to this (not joking though!!) or the beatles "All you need is love"

I did win the pin. It is cute with a moving cinderella coach in the forefront.
I'll be glad to take pix of the tee shirts & post them. I'll try to do it tonight or tomorrow night.

Oh, I LOVE that Beatles song. I think it was featured in the wedding scene in "Love, Actually", wasn't it? That scene blew me away, partly for the romance of it and partly because I am such a music freak and although I don' t play anymore, I really do still think of myself as a musician and WISH I could contribute in that way to the wedding of a dear friend.

I was feeling a bit down today (tomorrow is the third anniversary of when my Mom died, 16 days after my Dad died and Saturday is her birthday ), so I really needed to do something happy and emailed Joe about some "timing" issues. I am really excited about going to WDW this weekend for the Minnie 15k race, but I am also excited to do some VR-related stuff:
1. Take pix at the WP, even if I am not able to see the inside again
2. Check out Sago Cay Pointe for our dessert party
3. Dinner at 1900 Park Faire to check it out for our "rehearsal dinner"

I was also able to confirm the timing on when we'll have a contract in hands and how much of a deposit we'll have to send in. We've also decided where we want to spend our complimentary night (where else but our all-time dreamed-of resort, the Grand Floridian! ) Wow, I think things are going to start rolling and this will all feel so much real.

Once we have a signed contract, I'll finally feel comfortable ordering my gown!

I am so excited that I can barely stand it! I am so glad I have this weekend away with my girlfriends to look forward to, then Howard's graduation, then Special Olympics Summer Games and then our WDW/DCL vacation with friends & my DMIL. That takes us into early July and then time will just fly with all sorts of things including training to run the 1/2 marathon in January.

Oh Cam, I'm sorry you were feeling down..... ...but what a pick-me-up!

Once we have a signed contract, I'll finally feel comfortable ordering my gown! :

What!?!? You haven't ordered it yet???

Umm, I think you forgot one little weekend there....

Oh this is all so exciting!!!

You are so cute! I felt a little guilty already planning our September girls' weekend away, so I thought I'd save that for later, when I am in that post-WDW/Cruise funk. Having our weekend (and the hair and makeup trial ) to look forward to is going to sustain me and keep me from feeling sad as I fly home in July.

 

[postesf]

Hey Cam! I know you're making goodie bags for your attendees for you VR and wanted to tell you about some stuff I saw on the Creative DISigns section.

I've posted the link below. Telyn has made Hershey Nugget wrappers and a few are Wedding-type. She also has Mint wrappers (kinda like matchbook) that could be cute too. I"m sure she could do a wedding one.

You may be done w/ these already, but did want to show you...just in case.

Pg 5&6 shows a finished project.
The Wedding ones are on Pg. 7

[keenercam]

WOW! Stacie, those are awesome! How creative and the colors and designs are absolutely beautiful!
Someone on the DISigns board had created a running mickey & minnie for me with Minnie wearing a veil and that is one of the images I am using, along with a castle, on the candy bar wrappers I created for our welcome bags. I am really pleased with how they turned out and DD and DS are so impressed that I figured out all the measurements to make them work. I can't wait to actually put them together, but I didn't want to do any of the chocolate goodies too early.

Thank you again, so much for thinking of me, Stacie and for posting the link here.

 

[postesf]

Oh WOW. Candy Bar wrappers! How cool. Maybe I missed that...Did you mention it? I can't wait to see pics! I bet they will be soooo cute! So creative! I wish I had reason to do candy bars or nuggets or something.

Stacie

 

[keenercam]

Actually, I may have bragged a bit when I figured out how to create them. I should clarify -- they are for the Hershey's miniatures. I am also doing "hugs & kisses" with cute little labels. It's funny that I'm not a chocolate freak at all and we are giving our guests all this CHOCOLATE. That's because we LOVE them and know they all love chocolate! LOL!!

 

[DisneyLaura]

Cam - I'm so sorry to hear that your feeling sad. I always get a little sad when it comes around the time when my step father passed away (almost 10 years ago).

Glad you get to go to Disney this weekend for the marathon and to see all the wedding things. Please take pictures and post them.

Oh I have a question, how long in advance were you "penciled" in for the VR. I know the weddings are 12 months but I was kind of confused on why you were just signing contracts now.

Have fun this weekend.

Thanks, Laura! We were pencilled in for our locations at the one year mark, but we can't contract for the wedding pavillion or the ballroom location until the 8 month mark. My understanding is that if you use the outside wedding locations and/or non-convention space, you can contract for those locations at 1 year out. I'm not positive on that, so I hope someone will correct me if I am wrong.

 

[DisneyLaura]

Oh I see, I just assumed that once you get pencilled in then send out contracts for you to sign. I can't believe in 8 months you'll be there. That will go by in no time. Sorry if I just made you nervous.
