Catherine & Jesse - PJ & TR: TR Day 2 - hair & make up trial, updated 11/5

[Keira1387]

Celeste just called me a little while ago to tell me that she will be away on maternity leave at the time of my wedding. She said that it would be better to switch to a new planner now because we are still kind of far out and haven't gotten into all the specific details of the wedding yet. So instead of switching halfway through - getting a new one now would make more sense.
And I totally agree with her on that. The only thing is I'm freaking out a little now. I'm not a person who deals with change very well Celeste said my new planner would be Meri. I haven't heard too much about her, but has anyone had her? I'm kind of sad because I really liked Celeste and was looking forward to meeting her.

At least they are changing your planner before you get too involved with her!

I came on the Dis today just to check for updates in your PJ but theres nothing You've been so darn organized I bet theres nothing else to do yet

Yea, I thought the same thing. It would have been way too complicated to switch planners after the PS.

Hey Kristen! Aww you're so sweet to check up on my PJ. I know you've been super busy. Yea, I really don't have much to do right now since I'm still over 7 months out. I did order my dress this past weekend though. The bridal shop told me that it should be in by June . I ordered my pocketfolds from Cards and Pockets and some stardream envelopes. I started assembling my invites - I will post some pictures when I get home. But other than that - its been pretty slow. Have your pictures come in from Randy yet? Its been almost 5 weeks now right? I can't wait to see them!

 

[Kristen14]

Nope, no pics from Randy yet. Caryn and Rachel who got married before me havent gotten theirs either, so I'm not expecting them anytime soon.

I just got read through your entire PJ. You're way ahead of me. DF and I are getting married 3 days before you - with pretty much the same schedule - however, we're using the French Island instead of the UK!

I just wanted to let you know that if you utilize the Men's Warehouse (MW Tux) they offer the delivery too and depending on how many tuxes, you get a free rental. Not many of the stores know this if you contact them directly, but I have the main number for the Disney Weddings if you're interested.

Congrats! Maybe we'll run into each other, although we'll be leaving for our DCL honeymoon on your wedding day.

 

[Keira1387]

Hey Catherine,
Just checking in to see how everything is going! Your getting close to your PS! You must be getting excited.

Thanks so much for reading along!! That's so exciting - you're getting married 3 days before me! DF and I will be heading down on the 15th, so maybe I can stalk you during your DP! What time is your ceremony?

Hey Catherine,
Just checking in to see how everything is going! Your getting close to your PS! You must be getting excited.

Hey Kendra! Everything is fine. I haven't really been updating just because there hasn't really been much for me to do. I'm super excited about my PS coming up! We will also be going to the P&PP - I can't wait!! I will definitely post a PS TR when I get back!

 

[BaBeeCee14]

Hi Ladies!!

It's been so long since I've updated! There really hasn't been too much to do, but I have been working on some projects and I wanted to have them finished before I posted.

So we will be leaving for Disney on Thursday night and our PS is scheduled for 9:00am on Friday. I'm so excited! We are also going to go to the Pirate & Princess Party that night. Then Saturday will be spent at the parks and Sunday we come home I will definitely write a TR when I get back.

We finally decided on a BM dress and ordered it this weekend.

The dress is a much lighter purple in person. I'm so happy to finally get the dresses out of the way.

On to the projects...

I loved Carrie's guestbook idea and I knew I wanted something similar. The other day, I got a coupon from shutterfly for a free photobook. It expires at the end of this month so I quickly put one together and ordered it. I think it came out really cute - I like it a lot. I love the "Year of a Million" quotes that Disney uses and I tried to incorporate those with the pictures. The pictures are kind of small, so I'll just type the quote next to the pictures.

Once in awhile right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.

Thank you for sharing this magical day with us

Where the incredible happens everyday

Where dreams come true

Where a cup of tea can bring us together. And apart. And together.

Where the glass slipper always fits

Where everyone screams at the sight of a mouse

Where the night is as bright as day

Where the magic lives

And they lived happily ever after

To go with my Hidden Mickey theme, I bought some swarovski crystals and decorated my flip flops and veil.

I also couldn't resist getting Jesse these Mickey cufflinks.

I also got my free tote for signing up on Disney Honeymoon Registry! However when I got my bag, it looked like this:

I gave them a call and asked them if I can send this one back and get a new one. The nice CM apologized and said I didn't have to send it back and that she would send a new one right away.

Wow - that was about it. Now its time to start packing for my trip! I can't believe how fast its coming!

 

[meryll83]

I love the upside down bag that's so funny! We received ours the other day - I wasn't sure one would make it to the UK!

I really love the quotes you have put in for your photobook, I may have to steal a couple of those that you've stolen from Disney, it's a great idea
I did start to make a book up actually but forgot about it - in fact I can't even remember which company I was using, I'm sure I'll have a link or a desktop icon somewhere that'll make it clear again - I may have a go at doing a bit more tonight - it wasn't far off as I recall, you have inspired me now to finish this project!!

Hmm, I may have to just put the month and year on our cover as we won't have a date finalised for another 6 months yet!!


Ooh I also lurrrrrve your sparkly hidden mickeys!

 

[Keira1387]

Wow, I can't believe that your PS is almost here! I love your BM dress choice! Can't wait to read your TR when you get back!!! Take lots of pictures!

 

[lpizzuro123]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your book idea. I keep saying that I want to make a sample book just to see how it goes. We will be down in WDW in May for our planning session and will be having engagement photos done with Misty so I want to take some of these plus some of our own Disney pictures to make a guest book also.

Thanks for posting how yours came out. This now gives me more of an incentive to get working on mine.

[padisneyfour]

[stitchlet]

Just got caught-up on your PJ - everything looks so amazing!

Do you mind if I ask, what color Swarovski crystals did you use to make your flip-flops & veil? I've been on the MJ Trim site a bunch of times, and I just can't figure-out which colors to try. Thanks!

Can't wait to hear/see more!

 

[sungela]

Your guest book is gorgeous! What are you going to use to have the guests sign it?

 

[lov2b@disney]

Love your book! Love all the disney sayings on the pages! Flip flops are cute!:

Thanks Kendra! I'm so excited. I just deleted all my old pictures from my memory card the other day so I can fill that baby up again

Thanks Linda! You should definitely include your engagement photos in your book. I originally wanted put my book together after the PS trip because I wanted to take some more pictures and add those to the book. The problem is the coupon expired on March 31st so I had to work with the pictures I already had.

The Bridal party would appreciate... excuse me will be EXPECTING replica flip flops to coordinate with our matching t-shirts.....VAMINOS! Have a good day.

Yes Ma'am!

Thanks so much! I used crystal and tanzanite (light purple) colored crystals on my flip flops and just the cystal color on my veil. I used size ss16 for the mickey heads and size ss12 for the ears. HTH!

Your guest book is gorgeous! What are you going to use to have the guests sign it?

Thank you! I went to AC Moore and purchased some American Crafts Slickwriters. They are acid free, permanent markers. They also dry quickly

Love your book! Love all the disney sayings on the pages! Flip flops are cute!:

Thanks Sandy! I had so much fun decorating them. Now apparently my BMs all want a pair of "Mickey-ized" flip flops too.
