Castaways getting hitched 4/2012!

[ccbride412]

Ok, I'm at a loss on the pictures... Apparently I just can't do it! I even started a photobucket account in hopes that would solve the problem... I'll keep trying though!

 

[Freckledginger]

Thanks for the welcome

I'm not sure why your photos aren't working... Sounds like you're doing the right things. If you have a photobucket account, that should work. Once you upload your photos there, you add them into your disboard posts by coping the IMG code found under the photo on the photobucket album page. Then you click on the icon that looks like a mountain with a sunset in your disboard post. Then copy your IMG code into it. Preview your post to make sure the photo looks how you want. You can edit the size and such within photobucket, and then use the IMG code for that photo. Good luck, and looking forward to seeing your photos!

It's ok Lisa! I figured you had accidentally posted here too! Thanks for the updates on the cake flavors. I asked Shanda, but all I got back from her was a "I'm looking into it" reply with "I'll be out of the office..." at the bottom.

You're getting so close! I can't wait til I'm as close as you! My stomach will be in knots for probably the entire last month...

When I talked to Shanda last week she did tell me that someone would be just checking her in box. That way if a bride who has a wedding next week has an issue it won't just be sitting in her email box. I had some dining seating issues that she contacted me about and she told me to get them fixed by 5:30 that evening or I could still send them to her inbox that it would be checked and forwarded on to DCL. I am getting close! I still have lots of little things to do, nothing big. I am glad I got things done ahead of time.

These are the directions I followed that Dolly had posted. Hope it helps!


• Get a free photobucket account at www.photobucket.com.
• Then upload your pictures to there.
• Once they are uploaded point your mouse at the picture and you will see a drop down list below the picture.
• Then left click your mouse on the words "IMG Code". When you do this you will see the word "copy" show up where the code was.
• Now go back to your post on the DISBoards and right click and "paste" the code into your post and the picture will show up once you complete the post.

Ok let's try this again! I realized when I read your instructions freckledginger what I've been doing wrong (I think).

WooHoo!! Alright now, nobody steal my ideas....

 

[PixieDust1969]

Awesome maps and bottles! They look wonderful! Don't get upset if someone steals your idea...that is the biggest form of flattery!!

Got a reply from Shanda last night on all my questions! And got the new Elements & Enhancements and Planning Guide! I can't wait, so many decisions to make. New cake flavors to decide from, song order, and how to get the favors onboard!!

Since I couldn't get the pics to work in the first posts, here's a pic of me and DF:

Once I get some with faces copies into photobucket I'll post them!

Love the maps!! So fun!

And that picture of you and FI is so sweet!

 

[ccbride412]

Thanks MrsDuck! 5 months! 5 Months! 5 months!!!

 

[Freckledginger]

Cute photo of the happy couple!!

Glad to hear Shanda got back to you with answers to your questions. Is there a 2012 Elements and Enhancements or did you receive the 2011 one?? I'm just wondering if I need to contact her for an updated copy or not....

 

[ccbride412]

The new one she sent me has Cinderella's coach at the top of every page and shows that I can have each cake tier a different flavor!!! Yum! I don't know if that's the one you have or not. The original one I got was sent to me back in January so it was still the old one.

I'm getting so excited about everything! It's hard to keep up the excitement for too long-don't want to wear myself out! Just a few more hurdles and all I have to worry about will be wedding! I have a huge moving sale this weekend and my sister is coming into town! While she's here, we're going to go look at flowers for the boutoneers/corsages/matron of honor bouquet!!! YAY!

 

[ccbride412]

It's bachelorette party night!! My sister's in town this weekend so we're doing it early. It's gonna be interesting!

 

[PixieDust1969]

I hope you had a great time!!!

 

[ccbride412]

Thanks Lisa! I did have fun although today was a little iffy.

DF spent the day researching honeymoon stuff. He's informed me that he has a budget and is having trouble staying within it because he enjoys spoiling me! I can't help but wonder what he's planning that he spent the whole day researching...

 

[PixieDust1969]

If today was iffy, you had a great time!!

Well, the cruise weddings board is all up in arms about the possibility of a new 2012 package that may be different. I feel that I should email Shanda about this, but the response I just got 3 weeks ago never mentioned anything about holding off for 2012 stuff. I just don't need any surprises like new cake flavors or my bouquet is no longer offered at the last minute!

On another note, my sister was here last week to help out with a few things like the favors she and my mom are giving out and my hair for the big day. Nothing got accomplished. No surprise really. We started on the favors, but they went wrong somewhere and now my mom and I have to try to figure out how to "back up and punt" as DF keeps saying! We did get the boutonnieres for the dads done and the groomsmen and moms' corsages put together for completion. Then the matron of honor's bouquet will be a piece of cake!

Next up, when DF is stateside again in Dec, secret favors will get done and so will filling out our planning guide and finally getting our ears done! DF wanted the top hat wedding ears, so we searched high and low for them- no one has them!! So instead we decided to make our own version... We'll see how that turns out. As for mine, I got the standard bridal one from Disney, but I'm taking the veil off and substituting the one I had originally bought when I thought I as getting a white dress (I got it at JoAnn's for ~$9!)

4 months 3 weeks! I've got a running countdown on my calendar!!

Meaghan, I have been following your PJ since I am doing a VR on DCL. So now I am officially subscribing!! I am interested in hearing about the new 2012 choices for cruise weddings. I received the 2011 options from Shanda.

 

[ccbride412]

I got the 2011 stuff too, but on the other board I'm on they mentioned a new 2012 package so I'm confused. I think I'll email Shanda about this soon. I'm curious!

My mom and I picked out my dad's shirt this weekend and shopped for a dress for her. The shirt we picked out seemed like a good match until we got it home....it looked yellow against my dress! Back to the drawing board. Looks like dad may be wearing light green instead of ivory. The black and white wedding colors only apply to the wedding party anyway, right?
