Christina & Geancarlo PJ (10/4/08) WP&GF: Planning 5 year Anniversary back at GF

So now we meet Michelle and she gives us the tour of where the cocktail hour should be and reception, I was in AWE at how beautiful the room was, we will be having the cocktail hour inside and out. 2 open bars, 1 inside and one outside.... String Trio to play outside on the veranda....

It will be nice ( I got these pics from Lurkyloo on the Dis)

ITS GORGEOUS AS IS

I couldnt believe I was standing in the room that I will be in when I am married....:goodvibes it felt weird... that the next time i am in this mood I will be dancing with my new husband..

These chandeliers are so spectacular in person

Next Course

After the intermezzo -the guests have a choice

Seared beef filet
freshwater Tilapia
Parmesan crusted chicken

We will be choosing these three main course with basil mashed potatoes and stemed vegetables.. we will not be doing the confetti rice.. the mashed potatoes are much better, plus I am a mashed potatoe girl

the beef filet was OH SO GOOD... everything was really

This is the crusted chicken, but it will be w/o the cheese and parmesan sauce and it will have a mushroom sauce on top
this is served with mushroom risotto and I didnt like the risotto..

I love that boutique at the GF! Lily Pulitzer is amazing! That's where I got my dress for the RD! Anyways, I think we are pretty much having the same reception! My pre-reception is going to be in the whitehall room/patio, and my reception is in St. Augustine C-D! Which rooms are you having yours?
 
I think it's great that your Dad went w/ you for your PS. My Dad wanted and still wants to go w/ us for ours but my Mom would rather have my Aunts there for creative planning purposes. I feel so bad, but in all honesty my Dad really wants to go so that he could go into the parks and we wouldn't have time for that.

Did you figure out what you are doing about a Catholic ceremony? (I thought you were on another post discussing that) I'm asking b/c I'm Episcopalian and having issues finding a priest.
 
They have a Lily Pulitzer shop in GF??? OMG I want a Lily dress for my tea party!! I will have to go there and buy one!!

I LOVE YOUR TR SO FAR!!!!!!!! I love your mom's expressions. She is adorable!!
 
I am oh so hungry now! I am going to have to try that soup when we go in September. You made it sound so good!

Its great to see her getting so involved in the planning, wish my mum could be there with us when we go for ours but she can't make the trip in november and then in may again for the wedding :rolleyes:

LINZ XXX :)
 
EVerything looks great and yummy. Love the sign.:thumbsup2 I think it's cute that dad wanted to go with you too, my dad passed away but he would have went (I'm already married) if I had my wedding there 11 years ago.
 
Everything sound so yummy!! can't wait to hear the rest of it!!
 
Happy Anniversary!!! :cool1: :banana: :dance3:

That is great that you guys have been together for 9 years!!!!
 
Happy Anniversary (me and my DH have been together for almost 20 years and married for almost 12 years)

He is tooooo much

the card says

Happy Anniversary
I am so blessed to have you in my life
for these past 9 years. I cannot wait to marry you
and spend the rest of our life together.
Love you forever
Geancarlo
