Caryn and Mark PJ- SBP/LSS/PI >>>>>>AND WE'RE OFF<<<<<<

[KQAN]

good call. can i do this and still check my luggage?

You'll still have to get in line at the check-in at the airport to check luggage. I guess the advantage of checking in online is to get an "A" boarding pass, and then you'll have a better choice of seats, more overhead space for carry-ons, and guarantee you and Mark can sit together. So to ensure all your luggage makes it on the plane safely, your best bet is to get there EARLY so you can check your luggage and get it on the plane early on. Also, people start lining up at the gate in the "A" boarding pass line really early, so you'll want to get to the gate early, too. Southwest is a hassle in this regard, but sometimes if you get a good deal, it's really worth it! HTH!

my aunt jeanne asked me, "are you really going to meet kristen?" on christmas eve! she's so funny!!!

Lol I love that your whole family reads your PJ. We're definitely in for PI on the 24th!! I Cant wait!

Not enough snow for a snowman today... but Rob did manage to write his name on the driveway

 

[Goldeelox9]

I have read your entire PJ today! I loved it and can't wait to hear about the wedding day! Oh and I am sooo dying my Crinnie Hot Pink!

 

[Lindsay22]

Bridesmaid dresses are alterred and in !!! I picked mine up on Friday and just took a picture of it. They look very nice and they are really warm! Which, I guess, is a good thing because it does tend to get chilly in the mornings here.

So without further ado this is a bad pic of my in my dress (please excuse the mess behind me, we did some shopping last night)

Happy New Year

 

[Lizby]

The dresses are beautiful! Caryn, you are going to have the most fabulous wedding ever!!! I can't wait to see pics!

 

[Goldeelox9]

I love the truffle color! Have you desided on the truffle colored sash?

 

[disneychickforever]

Okay so I FINALLY read the whole PJ.

I think your in for a great wedding Caryn. It's going to be awesome.

I would love to do a Disney Wedding, but my family isn't the getting together type. I have a HUGE family but only 15-20 would show up. IF that lol.

I'm so happy things are falling together for you! Best wishes!

YAY for the hot pink crinnie!!! a few of us on here have dyed ours, i am so excited about it! i'm wearing a petticoat as well, but i'm keeping that white. the petticoat is currently squeezed into a tiny little bag that'll be easy for me to pack!

Happy New Year

from now on, every time we talk about wedding weather it will be nice and sunny and 70 degrees. NO TALKING ABOUT COLD. if it is cold on that day lindsay, i'm blaming YOU. congrats on buying your new house today! that is very very exciting!

onto the dress-we're changing that sash so that the bowish thing is in the back. looks good though! thanks for posting the pics!

The dresses are beautiful! Caryn, you are going to have the most fabulous wedding ever!!! I can't wait to see pics!

thanks so much! so will you!!!

I love the truffle color! Have you desided on the truffle colored sash?

i'm actually not going to wear a sash at all. we took the white sash off my dress, i like it a lot better that way, the line is cleaner and the waist doesn't look bunchy (bunchy is one of my made up words...). i've changed my look to be entirely white (except shoes and crinnie which are pink) and crystals...

Okay so I FINALLY read the whole PJ.

i know i know, we leave 3 weeks from tomorrow !

THE BATTLE OF MARK'S WEDDING BAND HAS BEGUN...​

so, amongst all of the other things that i have to worry about, mark has informed me that he definitely wants to get a new ring. the original one he picked out...

looks like a piece of "sawed off pipe" and if he gets it, he "probably" won't wear it, because it's not, "the one." he's acting like a total girl. so now i have to find him another ring and once we do find THE ONE, i'm engraving, "do not remove" on the inside, just so we're clear...

to recap, this is my band

i thought it would be super cute if he got something like one of these that matched...

or this, but i'm not sure if it'll be big enough for his big hairy fingers...

is that dumb to want his ring to match mine? ergh. why do boys do this? he also doesn't have pants to wear either, his pant deadline is wednesday. men aggravate me.

I don't think it's dumb at all... I really want our rings to match. My engagement ring has a celtic pattern on it, and my wedding ring matches it, so I want his to match both of them. It's probably the one thing I'm making a big deal about.

Good luck to Mark on the pant search... just tell him looking like Donald Duck on your wedding day isn't an option :rotfl:

I can just see Mark in his fantastic jacket and ascot tie with NO PANTS! OMG!

Oh and I love the second ring you posted.

Hey Caryn...I have a crinnie question, since we've had some wonderful crinnie banter today. Now that I've changed my dress to the red one, what color do you think the crinnie should be? I have been mulling that over for a solid week or so.

Things are moving along quickly for you...you're wedding is going to be here shortly...OH and the weather will be 70 and beautiful...

hmmmmm...the detailing on your dress is silver right? you could go with a gray and then spray glitter on it (that's a little weird, i admit, it reminds me of a 6 yr olds tap dance costume---moving on), or you could try to dye it the same color red as your skirt, though that might be hard, OR, you could go waaaay out there and dye it black, but that might look weird if there is additional white tulle already sewn into your skirt. let me give this more thought...maybe an ivory...have you posted pics of your dress? has it come in yet?

yes, mark and i have been watching, "the secret" and the weather WILL be beautiful because that's just how it's going to be!

i simply cannot believe that we are leaving in 3 weeks. its unreal to me...

 

[lurkyloo]

Tiffany blue!!!

...We now return you to your regularly scheduled Caryn's Planning Journal...

good call on that one...

now onto the pj...

i originally bought these shoes

and had them dyed light gold to match my dress. i didn't think they were that dark and so i didn't think it was going to be an issue to dye them pink. i LOVE them. i've decided to wear these instead of my big pink bow shoes because those shoes have a 4 inch heal and i'll be a lot taller than mark, which doesn't make him happy. so i take the shoes to my shoe guy to see if he can make them pink. ANY color pink and he's acting like it's this big issue! HELLO! bridezilla alert! i told him that i didn't care if it matched the little 1 inch sample he gave me, they just needed to resemble some shade of pink. he made me mad. it's not like i'm asking for him to make them white again! ERGH. so i have to pick them up next tuesday IF the dye guy can do it. my shoe man has NEVER made me mad, he's usually my hero-except today.

then, i found this dress

on target.com on sale for $16. can't beat that! i think i'm going to wear it to pi the night of our wedding...i'll probably freeze my little butt off, but that's just another excuse to drink buckets...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

 

[caryndisneydiva]

i have been so productive today. i don't know what it is, it just came over me today. i'm still sick and today is the first day i haven't been miserable. i've been watching the WE all day long. it's all bridal shows today...i'm going to be so burned out on weddings by the end of mine, it's insane...

i decided to glitterize my welcome bags, i just did the bottom because i didn't want to cover the label...

i think it just looks wet in this pic...oh well.

then, i finished my programs which is a huge weight off my chest. i also added ribbons to my baskets that will hold my mickey bubbles and programs. i changed the bow on the programs to be a simple chocolate satin bow. the big one was too cumbersome and won't travel well. i don't want to have to worry about fluffing bows when i get to fl...

so now i can go enjoy nye at mark's club! happy new year everyone!

 

[Kristen14]

Looks great Caryn! Reading your PJ just reminds me of how much i still have to do... I starting to get super stressed! Only 18 days left!!!!

 

[keenercam]

Gorgeous, Caryn! I LOVE the programs!

 

[BaBeeCee14]

oooh Caryn, I love the big bows around the baskets! Give it a nice touch!
