Disney Brides - O/T Chat

What happened to Carly with Rev Knox!?!? I've got him booked.


That's great news on the flat Can't wait to see pictures.

I just smile when people laugh about getting married at Disney and think about our wedding photos which will know doubt be far better than theirs and will have had to pay out a fortune to feed a load of people they don't like.

If its the one I am thinking of he didnt turn up for the rehearsal and sent his wife and just before the ceremony he said if you dont pay me now as you were meant to pay at the rehearsal (that he didnt go to) i wont do the ceremony

Yeah disney weddings rock lol

Yeah, and then he ran out of the ceremony so fast all the guests noticed and asked Carly if he was ok?

Perhaps he had had bad news the day before or something though, so can;t judge the guy, just a shame he wasn't the best for Carly's wedding.

I can't wait to get my wedding photos all over facebook. And for all the doubters to see them. Urgh, I think you have negativity towards wedding choices no matter where you have them though.

Yup thats true, I was looking at some old school friends weddings and they were so blaaah they just didnt excite me - and the worrying thing is that I bet they cost about 3x as much as ours will cost!

I've never wanted the big uk wedding - and invite aunts and uncles etc who never bother with me at anyother time. That is my one hesitation about having a uk recpetion when we get back as I feel like its to satisfy others? But I think once we find the right place for "us" then it will get exciting - I really want to have a cocktail party it would be fun!

Tinks so exciting about the flat!! Are you buying/renting? When do you think you will move in?

I certainly don;t want anything in the UK, so when people (in laws!) start saying 'oh, well you'll have a home reception won't you?' I'm like NO!

The whole point of abroad was so I could really easily not invite people who I didn't want to come (which is 90% of our families - and those "friends" who you'd feel obliged to otherwise).

Jack's sisters wedding cost a bomb, and it was just 'church, roast dinner in a (very pretty) hall then disco.'

Was a good wedding, everyone agreed. But I don;t just want a 'wedding' - I want something really special.

Were planning our reception to be more of a party-no formality involved?! We have a lot of friends who would have liked to be there but we didnt want the big ceremony, but I still want to have some sort of celebration, if that makes sense?

But were only inviting the people that matter to us - no random family members!!!

Lol, see if we had more than 10 friends I guess we would too!

But we're kinda homebodies, kept to our own 10 person group at Uni and have each oly kept in touch with a couple people from school, and most are coming to Florida so that suits us great!

Jack has a drunkard Uncle who turns up to UK stuff all the time (and is NEVER invited) and I hate him. SO I just can't risk a UK event of any sort!

 

[Chilly]

That is a bit worrying about Rev Knox, hopefully it was just a one off.

We are having a party at home but its just a small thing and I want be inviting anyone I don't want to!

I am almost regretting saying we will have an at-home reception. FILs are (kindly) paying for it, and so have chosen the venue, which TBH I wasn't keen on in the beginning. They were beginning to look at decor and everything, and things were getting into arguments between me and DF because he thought we should just accept everything since they were paying. I told him I didn't even want a party if we don't get to decide. I know this is a bit beebee of me and probably an etiquette no-no since they are paying, but I am a bit of a control freak when it comes to things like that, and a huge planner so I wanted to plan my own party. My mum was a bit upset since they 'were taking over her only daughter's wedding' and she wasn't getting any say on venue, etc.. She did offer to contribute but they wanted to pay it all themselves. AAAAAAARGH!!

I think that's sorted now though and we're going to choose the decor, which I'm kind of excited about since I thought of a theme. I do like the hotel now too, although my parents still haven't seen it. They are contributing towards our wedding anyway, which is what matters most to me

Now I'm dreading having to go through the guest list - this is why we are getting married in Florida, so we don't have to invite every uncle and his cat. The only kids me and DF want to invite are my younger cousins (2 and 5.5 at the time of wedding) as they are like little brothers to me and I speak to them every day - however I know this will cause a rift, and 'why wasn't my kid invited?' even though I don't know their children. I feel like it's for other people and not for us.

Sorry, this is a massive, huge 'poor me' rant - I guess I should count myself lucky to be getting a party when we get back.

Of course you have a say in Decor and theme!! I wouldn't have been able to let someone else choose the location either, I would freak out far too much! So well done!

Jack's Mum said to him, 'well you could just do something here at the house.'

Which he went 'NO!' and laughed at, and I was SOOOOOOOO glad. Can you imagine if there were people who's memories of my wedding were home made sandwiches in someone's living room?

Plus said drunken uncle would be there - urgh.

My wedding shall have nothing to do with England - and thats the way I like it!

 

[Eeyore's Tailfinder]

I thought it would be great to have another chance to wear my dress again - now, not so much. I'm looking forward to creating my theme laughing: I love themes!) and dancing with my friends, but kind of regretting saying yes now that reality has set in. I wish I could go back 3 weeks and say that we don't really want one.

They are lovely, I just don't want to clash with them on this.

DF has said no balloons and no personalised confetti, etc. though, so I'm glad he's sticking with me on my theme

 

[torsie24]

It'll be great babes, and so long as the two of you stick together and his folks don't take over too much you'll be really glad you did it I bet!!

 

[Eeyore's Tailfinder]

I hope so! I am soooo glad we're not doing the wedding in the UK!

I was between 2 minds at first, wondering if I'd regret it - now I definitely know I won't!! I am so looking forward to our Orlando wedding even more now!

 

[torsie24]

Me too!

As much of a crazy planner that I am, I only enjoy planning fun stuff.

The idea of a Uk wedding scares me loads!

Finding ceremony location, decorating it, finding reception locations, cateres, DJ, decorating, getting a florist, transport.

I looooooove that it's all just Disney!!

 

[Eeyore's Tailfinder]

Me too! I look at the at-home thing just as a party I have to plan rather than a wedding reception... although mind you, this is my excuse for having my theme too

I feel like I'm behind with buying stuff for our wedding! I'd like to lose a few pounds before ordering my dress. I have no idea what to have for shoes! I want the tiniest heel, but the fashion seems to be skyscraper heels at the mo, so I'm having trouble! I don't want to spend too much really. I'm planning on getting some ballet pumps from Primark for our evening wedding stuff

I'm tempted to get actualy Ballet shoes for my wedding.

Made form silk so super comfy, and they'll be cute!

I am a nigtmare in heels (broke my toe and it reset badly so get in really bad pain. )

I don't want to buy my dress until I am 11 Stone. As really I'd like to be under 10 for the wedding......that's a few months away though!

 

[Eeyore's Tailfinder]

Definitely want to be comfy on your wedding day! DF is only like 1-2inches taller than me, so heels are not an option

Can you believe I'm off to the gym *again* this lunchtime?!

Aww hun, I bet you'll do it! I'd like to order my dress in a 12 or 14 (I remind myself that they do run small!) - it's a lace up back so hopefully if I can lose more weight, they can just tighten up the back.

I really need to kick my fizzy drink habit - I was going to say Coke, but that would sound way wrong My weakness is Lucozade, I constantly drink it. I bet I'd lose a stone in Lucozade weight!!

See Jack is over a foot taller than me. But I'm just going to have to look short in the photos! I do in millions already!

I'd love a size 12 dress too.

Different designers and styles are so diferent though. I fit in a 14 Alfred Angelo, but the 14 D'zage one was waaaay too small. And one of the debenhams 14s was quite loose on. Sigh.

I bet Maggie comes up really small!!

 

[orangetiggs]

I got in asize 12 maggie and I'm more of a 16!!! I had a lace up back so thats very handy to have

Oooh, lucky - the one I like is zip. So a lot more pressure!!

 

[gemmybear83]

Awww sorry Hayley about your at home party problems - were going to pay for it ourselves so then no one can have an opinion

I'm not inviting any children - I just want it in a nice bar, wearing my dress and a cosmo cocktail in hand as I dance the night away with my friends! If it was in the summer I would love to have a bbq in the garden

I'm hoping my dress will be ok - its only boned until just under the bust and then its all floaty - and I think my bottom half will look a bit better once I have lost a bit of weight My friends say if I lose too much weight on my bust (typically that will happen), just wear a really padded strapless bra!!

I'm taking the dress to show my mum on Sunday she knows more than me about sewing and I think as the seem is done the side it will be ok. Part of my thinks I should have got it later in the summer but since I got the dress half price I couldnt leave it!

I want flat shoes, to Henry is only a little taller than me and I hate wearing heels!
