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

[twiu]

Caryn... saw your post on the "whats on your menu" thread. Can you pm me the cost of your buffet? I really want open bar at my wedding and I need an idea of cost for the buffet. I'm doing ADH so it should be the same stuff from boardwalk. I liked your menu so I'm curious. If you don't mind. Or write me here if you don't mind throwing money figures.

Thanks and wow! You're wedding is right around the corner. I think I might come stalk you since I live in town. Don't freak out if there's a little Asian girl lurking around the corner

 

[caryndisneydiva]

i'll post publicly since i have about a dozen pm's to answer with this info...

i originally had a citrus crusted pork loin roast in the carving station that i removed. with the pork the buffet cost was $72/pp. removing the pork took off $6/pp making the total price $66/pp.

come stalk! we love wedding lurkers!!!

 

[twiu]

Thank you!!! That helps enormously!!!! And yes... I think I will stalk you. Thanks for the thumbs up on that one.

The lint brushes and cake topper have officially arrived at my house safe and sound!! Of course, I made the mistake of calling Caryn and telling her that there was a printed price on them. (No idea what I was thinking...) So, she nicely asked (demanded) that I remove the cellophane wrappers and black out the price. Cordelia (my beautiful little kitty cat) had a wonderful time hunting the cellophane. So far I have the water bottles, the lint brushes, the M&Ms and the cake topper all ready to go. Caryn said that she was going to ship me a big box with the rest of the welcome bag stuff. I'll be on the lookout for that.
Can't wait for the wedding! It's almost here!!

Oh, Caryn. I love those flip flops. I'm going to make them my official Disney flippies and wear them whenever I go (which as you know is about every other week!)

 

[Goldeelox9]

You are so close now! I am getting excited for you guys! I can not wait to read all about the wedding!

 

[Kristen14]

I dont remember the lint brushes, or your cake topper... did you post pics?

 

[disneymeg]

ok so what is it 15 days and counting?!?!? WOOHOO ... almost here. Def looking forward to this. Things seem to be coming together nicely. Im watching that WE network right now, and there is this bride who is not only picky but a PAIN IN THE BUT-TOCKS!!! OY! You just want to slap her. They spent so much on HER wedding (yes not both of their weddings ... hers) that they had to use money from the guests to pay the vendors. Is that normal???? Im young and very inexperienced with this whole wedding idea. I mean im only 23 so this is just a little overwhelming. I mean gosh C even you werent THAT bad. So now i have a question to ask of all. HOW DO I GET MY DRESS DOWN TO FLORIDA???? According to dad, he said to just bundle it up and put it in my suitcase since its going to get pressed anyway. Is this a good idea? Megan doesnt know!!!!!! Megan needs help!!! Megan is a little bit stressed about some things. I also need from Lindsay .. a packing list?? What should i pack? Hows the weather? Should i bring a "clubish" outfit? A bathingsuit?? Shorts? Capris? Help Ok .. deep breath!!!! time to watch tv.

ilovechip-you're very kind...i'm not so fond of the e-pic but i'll get over it...



UPDATES...
i finally found a paper warehouse store in houston that i got my welcome bags, welcome bag labels and the inserts for my programs from (i feel sooooo much better)...i also went to michaels and bought the big mickey cut out thing, i'll use this for either the invitations or the programs...and countless other things...

i bought mother of the bride, mother of the groom, 2 bridesmaid, bride and bachelorette rhinestone iron-on's from ebay! they were super cheap, and other brides on here got them and raved about them, so i'm excited!!! i'm going to make shirts out of them!!! i can't wait until they arrive!

we went to galveston yesterday to speak to the rabbi who was VERY NICE. we went over wording and the ceremony order (i told him 15 minutes tops...) and everything seems to be working out fine!!! that's a big relief, i was scared that he was going to try to convert us or something, but that wasn't the case at all, he was so cool!

we also made our reservations, we booked the boardwalk for a few nights up till the wedding, then we'll stay at the poly for our poly-moon!!! i'm excited about that! they didn't have the honeymoon suite availabl, which is upsetting, but maybe there will be something available when we get there...there also wasn't even a garden suite available for our wedding night, so i'm going to have to keep checking to see if we can switch...

finally, while we were in galveston we looked at some vacation property to buy as our wedding gift to one another (it is SO cheap...). mark isn't so keen on the galveston idea because he grew up down there but i love the beach and have the sales process going, i would love a little beach condo!!!

So i know this is really old but I just recently started planning my wedding and i too livein houston please tell me where this wonderful paper warehouse store in houston.

where in houston do you live?

the store i went to is off I-10 in the Heights on Sawyer, right in front of the new target. it's called Xpedx. i think there's one i pearland or sugarland as well, though i've never been there. THEY ARE GREAT. you can buy all of the stuff for your invitations to make them yourself, i got SO MUCH there. i can't say enough good things about them!

 

[lurkyloo]

We have an Xpedex in Los Angeles too! I got all my outer envelopes there for $8!

i'm glad you like the flippies. DON'T JUST BLACK OUT THE PRICE. take an exacto knife and remove it. better yet, make chris do it. i have 2 huge boxes that i'll ship to you on thurs...i'm going to fed ex them overnight. one of them is rather heavy, but i'm going to ship it anyway...i'm surprised by how much stuff i have...it'll all fit in your car, don't worry, you just might have to take it out of the boxes. i need you to save the boxes though, so i have boxes to give to marion.

You are so close now! I am getting excited for you guys! I can not wait to read all about the wedding!

thanks! don't worry, i'll do a TR the minute i return!

I dont remember the lint brushes, or your cake topper... did you post pics?

hmmm...i have both mickey + minnie toppers...

this is the one we're using

and we'll have this one displayed on the cake table because mark loves it!

i didn't post pics of lint rollers for my bags because my parents bought them in nj and sent them right to lin in tampa.

the girls on the we are so crazy. i love them though! i watch that channel religously...this is how i'd get your dress down there...i'd get a space bag and then just stick it in a carry on. it's going to be steamed anyway, so don't worry about wrinkles. DO NOT CHECK YOUR DRESS. i repeat. DO NOT CHECK YOUR DRESS. go on www.accuweather.com and look at the 15 day forecast to see what the weather will be like. then you can know what to pack. i'll email you my massive packing list later.



so i have some bad news. hopefully not too bad. i'm still waiting to hear. my little cat, tiffany (named after my fave place in the world) has been having some issues. i'll spare you the gory details, but i ended up taking her to the vet this morning and they are 99% certain that she has diabetes. i'm so sad. she's my little child and i love her sooooo much. she was the first cat i ever got and i just adore her. i'm so sad that she's sick. because of this i have to board her when we go to fl. and she is not going to like that. anyway, i know that you all probably think i'm a crazy cat lady (i am ), but this was sad news. along with this drama, i have a massively important job interview tomorrow that i've been preparing for all day. send some pixie dust my way. tiffs and i need it!!!

 

[caryndisneydiva]

We have an Xpedex in Los Angeles too! I got all my outer envelopes there for $8!

that is the best store in the world. i can't say enough good things about it.

 

[Lisella]

I have a dog with diabetes. He has been on insulin and prescription food now for 3 years and he does just fine - its expensive, but you'd never know he was sick.

Good luck to you tomorrow (I am also on the job hunt) - and good luck to your kitty. I'm sending lots of pixie dust your way.

 

[Gillian]

I'm sorry about your kitty. My cat is either diabetic or has pancreatitis (or pancreatic cancer, but it doesn't matter because there's nothing they can do). He's not even 10 yet. We give him a shot every day and he is doing well. It's been over a year. I hope Tiff feels better soon!

Good luck with the job hunt - I'm looking too.

 

[Lindsay22]

Cordelia and I hope that Tiffy feels better soon!! (you might want to try and keep her from doing things like licking tape, maybe that's why she is sick) I have already blacked out the prices on the lint brushes. If I take a knife, I will be cutting off a piece of the protective paper. You can't give lint brushes with sticky paper showing, it'll probably have cat hair on it if you did! They are fine and I really don't think that anyone is going to hold the lint brush to the light and see if they can figure out the price.
Will you be Fed-exing or post officing your boxes to me? I'll be out of town this weekend but there is an office where fed ex can leave packages. Have you figured out when the wine bottles will be in? Can you also leave me their phone # and maybe repost the web address? Do I need anything to pick them up (ie; receipt, order form, etc)
Megan, it's been in the high 70s low 80s the past few days. It gets chilly at night and in the morning. Make sure your bring a sweatshirt or a sweater. I'm not bringing a club outfit, I don't club. N.O. HTH

 

[lov2b@disney]

Caryn- Hope your kitty is feeling better soon!

 

[stitchlet]

Oh Caryn, I hope that your kitty is feeling better very soon.

And wishing you the best of luck on the job interview!

 

[caryndisneydiva]

thank you for all of the well wishes. i picked her up and she has a massive infection SOMEWHERE. they don't know where, they also don't know why she's losing all this weight. so now i have 2 different antibiotics and special food for her. my poor little one. at least its not diabetes though, but if the infection doesn't go away, she has to be admitted into the kitty hospital for all sorts of tests. ugh. o, and the vet bill-not cheap...
