Danielle & Chris: 11-11-11 WP/ADH/DP Wedding PJ/TR - Complete *(1 Year Anniversary)

[elleinad16]

Yayyy!!! That sounds like a super fun wedding and honeymoon! Great food choices, and I'm glad you decided on the Gf.

And you will have a BLAST at MVMCP!!!! Make sure you take lots of pictures. My one regret from my only MVMCP is I didn't wait in line for 2 hours to get my picture taken with Christmas Dress Belle.... and so I'm going to try and get her to come to my wedding!

Oh man! Belle in her Christmas dress sounds so pretty! Hopefully you can see her again in the future!

Awesome choices!! I hope you guys have a wonderful time at MVMCP! I haven't been but would love to one of these days!

Thank you! We are getting so excited!

That's awesome! I LOVED MVMCP it's so much fun! And it's definitely a lot less crowded so it's great to catch up on some super busy attractions! Just thinking about it I want to go back! Christmas carols playing.. snow on main street.. free hot chocolate and cookies! OMG I need to go back now! ;D Check out my trip report if you wanna see some pictures!

And yay for MK/Epcot bridal shoot! I wanna do that so badly! It's the main reason for why we wanna do a vow renewal for our one year!

Being alone is DEFINITELY a must for any honeymoon <3

Oh wow, I just looked through your MVMCP pics---I wanna go NOW! It looks like so much fun!!!

Sounds great! I can't wait to hear about your time at MVMCP. I haven't been myself, and it's something I really want to do!

Thank you, dear!

you plans look great!! i'm anxiously waiting for november myself. probably not as excited as you!! i've been back for 2 weeks and i'm already restless. i have a 7pm dinner at via napoli the day of your wedding and i'm gonna stalk your DP for sureeeeeeeeeee. dave thinks that i'm crazy that i can point out who's DPs are which when we're there--he's always like, "you act like you know these people." wellllll... i kinda spend more time online with them than i do at home with you

i love mvmcp!! the parade is so much fun!! i also secretly like the dancing at the diamond horseshoe with bullseye, lol!

Stalk away! I think that's too funny. You could even do the photo gimmick where I'm in the background really small and you are in the foreground and it looks like you are holding a tiny bride in your hand.

So, the other day Chris and I finally had an overlapping day off, so we decided to be productive and get the tux situation taken care of. We went on over to Men's Warehouse and picked out everything!

So here's the brown tux:

And then the pleat detailing on their shirts:

With these shiny brown shoes:

Groom's vest color (but with a bow tie!):

Best Men and Groomsmen and Ring Bearer's vest color (All men in the long ties, but ring bearer with bow tie):

Fathers/grandfather's vest color:

So we put down the deposit, Chris got measured, and we passed the info on to the others and they're so excited! I think they're more excited to get dressed up than the girls.

Also, we got emailed our first Floral Proposal spreadsheet! I didn't faint, but the more I think about it, the higher it seems. There's also a couple of things I want to change with the bouquets and that seems to save about $500 right off the bat. I guess I won't really know how I feel until I get our actual BEO in, because right now we SHOULD have a bit of wiggle room with the minimum expenditure we have to meet with our special date, but we will see!

Oohhh I LOVE the brown suits, especially with the cinderella blue! (that's about what it is, right?) Nice work!

 

[librarygeek]

I agree, I think the brown suits are going to look so cool, especially with the blue! I can't wait to see it all come together As for the flowers, I'm always in shock about how much flowers cost. I'm not a big flower person so that's one thing I'm definitely saving some money on and doing as simply as possible - but I'm sure there's ways you can lower the cost and still have great looking floral!

I love the suits!! They are going to look great!!!

 

[LuvLuvLuv]

Just saw your e-pix on Facebook and I LOVE them!!! My favorite is the one with him kissing you!! I even had to "like" it, lol!! They really look great!! Yay!!

I KNOW, RIGHT? Flowers are sooo expensive and the sad thing is I'm not even having a lot of floral...I guess I'm just choosing a semi expensive flower...or that it's not in season?

I love the suits!! They are going to look great!!!

Thank you! They will clean up well.

Thank you so much, hun! Haha, I saw that you "liked" it and I exclaimed, "I know her!" to all my friends in the room.

So, I ended up getting the first BEO right after I posted my last tidbit. We were sortaaa close to our budget, but my Daddy wants me to try and trim off $4,000...I already know some of the stuff I can do without, so hopefully it'll all work out.

Also, David and Vicki Arndt posted our engagement photo sneak peeks on facebook last night! Vicki told me she was going to post them yesterday, so I kept an eye out ALL day. Well, once I was notified on my cell that she tagged me in photos I raced to facebook to find out our internet wasn't working! So I had to wait until this morning to actually see them. It was well worth the wait though, because we're so happy with them! Here are just a couple of my favorites-there will be more to come.

There's some more on their facebook page!!! (hopefully this link works?): http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150198830391190.311647.111170876189

So I'm totally making our guest book as soon as I get the CD of all the pictures--I really can't wait for that!
Fun fact: What's also pretty neat is today (May 30th) marks 2 years since we actually got engaged...so it's been a long engagement, but we're almost there!!! (And tomorrow's my birthday ) I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend!
