Vanessa,

I've been reading your PJ for awhile now. I've gotten so many idea from you. Good luck with your up coming wedding. I'm probably gonna be at disney then because we are going to a spring training game at wild world of sports.


just a side note to upcoming brides about the waterbottles. Another idea which I have come to find. I work at Fedex Kinkos and we have something called lammie labels. Its a laminate with a sticky surface on the back. You can laminate 3 on a 8.5 x 11 and then use the cutter. I was supposed when my manager gave me the idea.

Spring training baseball is so much fun, the guys are going to see the Detroit Tigers play on that Saturday while we're at the bridal tea. I'm actually jealous that I'm missing the game They have to drive down to Lakeland though because they wanted to see the specific game.

That is a great tip about the sticky paper, that would definitely save your fingers from getting sticky using the glue sticks.

I wanted to update everyone since I've been missing for a couple of days. Another twist in our saga on the way down the aisle happened this week. We now have to appear in court to deal with his dad's estate and have had to postpone our honeymoon to Hawaii until April. The hearing was originally scheduled for two days after our wedding while we would have still be in Florida, but thankfully we were able to move it.

Even though it is shifted it will interfere with Kris' time off work. Since he is leaving his job in mid-April he only has so many vacation days left adding days for court would put him over his limit, so we are switching it to the end of April once things have died down. At least it's all paid for, all we have to do is pay for the change penalties. I guess I should have paid the extra for trip insurance! This will probably work out better in the long run though because if we didn't postpone it I'm sure Kris would be worried the entire time we were in Hawaii about going to court. Hopefully in April we can just sit back and relax.

We were leaving for Hawaii the Friday after the wedding, we have decided to stay until Sunday and are going over to the Sarasota area to watch some spring training baseball that weekend.

On a positive note, my second shower on Saturday was fantastic. My matron of honor did a Disney Princess theme which was so much fun! I still have to upload pictures. I am hoping to get to it tonight, but it's my dad's birthday so I'm not sure if I will get to it or not. If I don't get to it tonight, I know I will have time tomorrow.

As far as things for the wedding, a lot is done. I still have to print off the programs and assemble them even though they are all designed already. I also need to pick up my dress tonight from getting the bustle and have to get my jacket made to wear at the dessert party. I plan to ship my dress to Carolyn Allen's on Friday. Time is flying by too quickly especially with all these other things thrown on our plate!

Sorry to hear about the Honeymoon delay! i'm sure when it comes it will be a welcome vacation! Might even be nice to have a little down time before it!

That's what I'm kind of thinking too, plus I don't have to worry about doing laundry and about packing for two trips right in a row on top of the wedding stuff

It's all going to work out, you'll see Better to postpone the honeymoon rather than the wedding. Can't wait to see pictures of a princess themed shower! how fun!

What a great way to think about it. I never thought about how horrible it would be if we would have had to move the wedding instead. That actually makes me feel a lot better, thanks!

I'm glad everything is coming together! Sorry to hear about your honeymoon, but I definitely think it'll work out better for you. We left at 7am the day after our wedding, and I just felt so rushed! Btw... Rob and I will be at Disney from the 29th-2nd... maybe we'll run into each other!

That would be pretty cool We're actually meeting another bride on the 29th at DTD in the evening, maybe we could plan to join up depending on everyone's schedules. Two trips to Disney so close together how lucky for the both of you

Sorry that you have to delay your honeymoon! On the brightside you get a mini disneymoon, and you still get to go to Hawaii!!

Send me a PM with the time & place and I'll try to be there! I'm not sure about our schedule yet... We're either not working and driving up on Friday morning, or leaving at 4 (and hopefully getting there before 7). The only thing set in stone is the baby shower I'm going to on Sunday

I know that is definitely the good thing, I would be so bummed if we couldn't go and ended up losing all that money that we paid too!

After much debate, we ended up ordering these suitcase favors. I was going to purchase chocolate dipped Mickey pretzels with candy pieces from the Candy Cauldron in DTD. The cost was pretty good and it was Mickey However, after I saw these online I showed them to my parents. My dad insisted that we get them and offered to pay the extra cost. The only thing that I said was that I wanted really good chocolate (my favorite dessert). So, we were going to get Ghiradelli chocolate at DTD to fill them.

Last weekend after Valentine's Day I ended up getting boxes of Ghiradelli squares 75%, so we went ahead and filled them up and will just carry them in a carry-on. I have some pictures of all the chocolate boxes piled up that I need to upload.

I will also share a picture of our labels that we ordered for the suitcases. But, they just came in yesterday and they had the wrong date The invoice and the order all say March 3, but the actually labels say March 2 Our labels actually have an airplane on them instead of a palm tree and say "Destination Love." My mom is suppose to deal with the label problem today, so I hope it is resolved quickly because we leave for Disney in only 7 days!!!

Tomorrow we close on our condo and I have to ship out the snowglobes to Disney Floral and my dress to Carolyn Allen's.

Then on Sunday, my parents and I are going to Ohio with Kris to load up his furniture in my dad's truck. We are bringing it all back on Monday. I really wish I wasn't losing these two days from time for wedding stuff!
