Ah thanks Natalie, it really is driving me mad that I can't do anything at the moment. Luckily Chris is good at looking after me and he makes a mean cup of tea! Can't believe how quickly time has gone by.Not long until we'll be in panic mode thinking we've forgotten something!

 

[brer rabbit 28]

So here they are - my lovely shoes. Still can't decide if I should have them dyed orange or not. Any advice would be much appreciated

Ah yes, you can't beat a good cup of tea (how stereotypically English am I? ) I know what you mean, I keep adding things to the list, it seems never ending!
P.S: Gorgeous shoes!

 

[brer rabbit 28]

I know, terribly English of me!

Since i've been marrooned on the sofa my list has rapidly grown! Looking at a lovely raw silk orange shrug on etsy now and wondering if I can justify buying it incase it's cold in the evening.

Also started thinking about ADR booking as we are nearly at 180 days!

I know, 6 months!!!! I have our 180 days marked on our calendar!
Oh and I think you'd be perfectly justified getting the orange shrug

Good luck with the ADRs girls!!!
Talking about tea makes me think about the things that my DD was asked whilst working as a seasonal CM at WDW (MK Adventureland). These are all genuine questions put to her by guests from the USA!!

Do you ride around in horse and carriages or do you have cars?

Do you know Prince William?

Did you ever hear about 9/11 in England?

Do you have to practise that lovely accent?

And lastly, do you really drink nothing else but tea?

I did get badgered by a guy in Epcot on our last holiday that insisted that I would know his mate Dave who lives in London because I am from England. Lovely guy didn't seem to understand that the chances were slim to none.

So I'm thinking of booking an ADR for Cafe Cape May for breakfast on our wedding day. That way we can have a little character magic on the big day, plus both Vhris and I love the character interaction that you get at the meals. Beaute Speciale are due at 10:30 so I thought maybe 9:00 would give us time to get back over to the Boardwalk Hotel. What do you think guys?

I'm also going to book Cinderellas Table for MNSSHP night as we are going to go in our wedding attire, so I thought a special meal would add to the evening.

For the final morning I'll book Chef Mickeys and I'm toying with either Mickeys Backyard BBQ or Hoop De Doop. Any advice will be greatly appreciated

 

[PinkSleepingBeauty]

Ooh, MNSSHP sounds great! We were talking about going in our wedding outfits too. All of those ideas sound fab!

 

[brer rabbit 28]

Here's a pic of the bolero I'm coveting at the moment. It's from a seller on Etsy and she has some fabulous designs in a wide variety of colours.

 

[brer rabbit 28]

I've taken a few pics of the brooches I've bought on ebay. This is just a small selection of them. I think I'm up to about 30 now. I think I'll need around 50 for the finished bouquet.

I have 6 of the birds for the tail end of the bouquet.

This is a huge brooch and one of my favourites.

I have some more with amber in and some turquoise brooches...but they are upstairs and I can't get up there without assistance at the moment

Hi Claire

Just wanted to say I am so subbing to this thread.

I love your idea of a button bouquet! How unique and great to treasure for ever.

Have only read first page so far, hoping to catch up over next 3 nightshifts!

I am so jealous!

Can't wait to get to work tonight!

Nikki

 

[tinkerbell 766]

Claire sweetie - hoping that you will be posting a picture of the finished masterpiece!!! Can't wait to see it!!

 

[brer rabbit 28]

Definitely Joanne. I'm almost doen with the collecting. Just need to visit hobbycraft now for the ribbon and finishing touches. Have to wait for plaster to come off for that trip though as I can't seem to spend longer than 40 minutes with my foot down at the moment - all my toes swell into little fat sausages!

Anyway, the good news is that it's due to come off in 3 weeks, so I'm on the home stretch now.

HI Nikki, thank you so much for reading. Although you've probably guessed by now that I'm such a changeable girl and I'm now making a brooch bouquet! I'm not ruling out the buttons though, I thought I might use them on some halloweeny bunting for our reception.

 

[brer rabbit 28]

I have some exciting news today, well I was excited. It doesn't take much at the minute as I'm still stuck on the sofa with an elevated leg!

We have decided on our wedding reading. Originally we were going with the velveteen rabbit (thank you Joanne ) but Chris put the boot in as he thought it was too long . Well it is his wedding too and he has to be happy with everything, so I started the search again. Then last night I just fell across a book by Edward Monkton called A Lovely Love Story. Well after lots of laughter we were in total agreement that this is the one:

The fierce Dinosaur was trapped inside his cage of ice.
Although it was cold he was happy in there. It was, after all, his cage.
Then along came the Lovely Other Dinosaur.
The Lovely Other Dinosaur melted the Dinosaur’s cage with kind words and loving thoughts.

I like this Dinosaur thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur.
Although he is fierce he is also tender and he is funny.
He is also quite clever though I will not tell him this for now.

I like this Lovely Other Dinosaur, thought the Dinosaur.
She is beautiful and she is different and she smells so nice.
She is also a free spirit which is a quality I much admire in a dinosaur.

But he can be so distant and so peculiar at times, thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur.
He is also overly fond of things.
Are all Dinosaurs so overly fond of things?

But her mind skips from here to there so quickly thought the Dinosaur.
She is also uncommonly keen on shopping.
Are all Lovely Other Dinosaurs so uncommonly keen on shopping?

I will forgive his peculiarity and his concern for things, thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur.
For they are part of what makes him a richly charactered individual.

I will forgive her skipping mind and her fondness for shopping, thought the Dinosaur.
For she fills our life with beautiful thoughts and wonderful surprises. Besides,
I am not unkeen on shopping either.

Now the Dinosaur and the Lovely Other Dinosaur are old.
Look at them.
Together they stand on the hill telling each other stories and feeling the warmth of the sun on their backs.

And that, my friends, is how it is with love.
Let us all be Dinosaurs and Lovely Other Dinosaurs together.
For the sun is warm.
And the world is a beautiful place

Do you love it? We had to have something slightly humerous but with feeling and emotion and this is definitely it. And Chris loves it too!

Other news; today I booked our fireworks cruise YAY!! I almost went into bridezilla meltdown when I realised that I had missed the 180 day mark and thought that they would all be booked. Luckily I got one from the GF with decorations on the boat and the music piped in too. I told the lady it is for our wedding although I don't suppose that will make any difference to the decorations used. I also booked some character meals while I was on a role.

Morning of the wedding I booked Cafe Cape May just for Chris and me (the Mums will be at the villa until 10am so I booked it for 8:45).

The last morning with the Mums I booked a character breakfast in AK. I think it will give them both a fun ending to their trip.

Finally, I booked Crstal Palace for the MNSSHP night (hopefully) as a surprise for Chris, although I think I will change this to Cinderella's Royal Table as we are going to go in our wedding clothes.

Phew, sorry for such a long update.Hope you're still with me!

 

[tinkerbell 766]

Claire sweetie - I love it!!!! When I was looking for a reading, I too looked at this one. The only reason I decided against it, was because my daughter, who is doing the reading, will be nervous and with all the references to 'Dinosaur' and 'lovely other Dinosaur', I thought she may trip up on nerves and put a 'lovely other Dinosaur' where there should be a 'Dinosaur' and vice versa. Then it would all get confusing and loose it's meaning. i am sure whoever is doing your reading will cope really well with it, but I am not sure that DD would have done!!
Congrats on booking the Wishes cruise and the ADRs!!! You are going to have such a wonderful time!!!

 

[brer rabbit 28]

Thank you Joanne. I couldn't believe it when Chris actually agreed. Sometimes he can be very awkward!

I'm not sure who will be reading it yet. I know it won't be me as I wouldn't get through it without bawling! Our planner has suggested that the Reverends wife could do it as she always accompanies him on weddings.

I still don't know who we have as yet as our planner is being a bit shy in giving me his name. I was given the option of one who would just turn up on the day or one who would like to meet us first. I opted for the latter as I would at least like to have had a brief chat before or wedding.

aww Dinosaurs! I like it

I hadn't even thought of a wedding reading. I don't think Df would go for that. Yours is really nice because it's light hearted and meaningful, also it'll put smiles on everyones faces.

also I love the idea of going to MNSSHP in your wedding attire

looking forward to hearing more

 

[brer rabbit 28]

Thank you I had the same trouble with Chris for a while as he's not good at "emotional stuff" as he puts it! But he loves this as it's light hearted as well as meaningful. And he is definitely a dinosaur that is very fond of things
