Gina and Tim's buffalo wedding and 2 week disneymoon 6/15 day 5 and 6

[tinkabella627]

haha I promise I'll try to get an update tomorrow to fill u all in.

 

[tinkabella627]

ok as you can obviously see- I never got the stress update in... I am going to do that now... hopefully I still have someone reading.

Geesh, I don't even know if I remember all the nonsense that felt the need to happen the week of the wedding haha...

I will go with the minor to the major...

the most minor thing that happened was that my eyebrow lady was not working the day before we left TN to head to NY and I couldn't get my eyebrows done. Ok, not a crisis, but this lady has some serious eyebrow skills. I had to wait til I got to Buffalo and went to 3 different places and finally found someone with less than an hour wait!

hmm the next two things I can't decide which was worse so I will do them in order that they happened haha

my uncle decided that he was going to try and tell me where everyone was going to sit at our reception. here is some background... his daughter doesn't speak to him much and he doesn't speak to his father (my grandfather). So to save everyone the awkwardness we kept them all separate (he asked to be separate from my grandfater prior to this). So what we did was make a "kids table"... all the people that used to sit at the kids table that are all adults now. It was a good table. Well my uncle called my grandmother or something I don't even know and basically said if he wasn't sitting with his kids, he wasn't coming. (he is also my godfather...) So.. after all the grief I went through to make table assignments and cute place cards and table names... I finally said, fine sit where you want I don't care anymore. I should have just let it be a free for all for seating.

So then rehearsal rolls around and on the way I was like geez I probably should have called lisa by now. (she was my matron of honor... just had a baby 3 months ago, very absent minded). well I called and here is the conversation..
Me: "Hey Lise what are you doing?"
Lisa: "Nothing, we are at home."
Me: "Um shouldn't you be on your way to the church?"
Lisa: "Church? For what?"
Me: "Lisa... rehearsal is at 5... dinner is at 6:30"
Lisa" OMG we will leave right away I gotta get the baby ready"
Me: "ok"

yep... they made it JUST as we started walking in after the church lady yelled at us about everything she could (that is another story)

So in the midst of all this... the best man texts Tim... he got a flat on his way to Buffalo from his house 2 hours away. He and another GM are going to be late. Awesome timing. (He ended up leaving his car and they took the other guys car...good thing they had to drive in separate... they were only like 10 min away...we had to deal with that the next day... story coming) They made it about 10 minutes after Lisa.

Ok good... on the way to rehearsal dinner... Michael Jackson is dead... this was serious lol Literally my maid of honor rolled her window down to yell out to my BM who was driving next to us that MJ died. I called Lisa to tell her (she loves him) Ok so that is not wedding stress but seriously MJ dead... sad day!

Ok so that night Tim had his bachelor party. I told him I didn't care what they did and I truly didn't. We also decided it was HIS party and at no point were we joining up. Well his brothers wife apparantly didnt get that the hundred times we told her that. So after dinner we told her we would text her to tell her where we were going. Well we decided that we were going to stay at the bar in the hotel... no one had to drive that way. Well we told her, and she never responded. So whatever we had a good time. Well later on that night I find out... SHE WENT OUT WITH THE GUYS. Maybe I am just over reacting but it really got to me. Not only did she go to guys night out, but she couldn't bother to tell me she wasn't coming out with us. She was their "DD" however, my father or brother was willing to get tim and his guys back to our hotel.

Oh and Thursday all the tuxes were supposed to be in BEFORE rehearsal... that didn't happen so people were running around all day trying to get their tuxes and stuff. They ended up getting them in but people went a couple times to pick them up when they werent in. Just a hassle.

Ok so Friday... me, tim, ashley (MOH), and mike (BM) get into ashleys car to get to his car with a flat... we take the tire off the car to try and go get another one. Luckily ashley has some connections and got him a tire for free YAY

And this is the BIGGEST drama of the week... it happened actually before all this other stuff but it is such a doozy I saved it for the end... (Sorry this is so long)

Ok so we get to my aunt's house and she tells me that my flower girl (her grand daughter) had to get a new dress bc she outgrew hers. Well I got a little upset because no one told me until now and I loved the dress I originally picked her. Ok she tells me it's cute and whatever but it is not at the house. Well long story short, my cousin went and got the dress so I could see it and ready.... make sure you are sitting because this is bad....

IT WAS YELLOWED!!! It was not a new dress. It was clearly a first communion dress from the late 80s early 90s! It had discolored and they tried to clean it but clearly it didn't work. And it was just plain awful! Had a collor and a big floofy bow in the back and the big poofy sleeves. OMG I nearly died. So I left to look for a new dress that I was going to have to choke down the payment for. Well not having the flower girl with me, there wasn't much I could do. While I was gone my mom told my aunt I hated it and it was discolored. She said she didn't know that and we promptly went out and got her a new one the next day, that my aunt paid for. Apparently her daughter in law (my flower girls mom) told her that it was a new dress and she thought nothing of it. Anyways... we had to have tons of alterations done on the dress that we ended up getting but what I can say is... my aunt told the lady at the shop how horrible she got treated last time they were in the bc of my FG outgrowing her dress, and the lady more than made up for it for us.

Ok I THINK that ends all the "week before the wedding stress that didn't happen in the entire 2 years we were engaged" saga...

Hopefully I will get some rehearsal pictures up soon.

I'm sorry everyone... I just tried to upload a picture from the wedding as a sneak peak but photobucket is down... so this is one boring post.

I enjoyed reading how you met Tim and the proposal was just magical. Loved the picture of you spinning around!
Your ring is beautiful, I noticed it the night we met at Epcot.
I'm glad you survived the pre-wedding trauma. Why does that have to happen? Can't wait to see all of your pictures...
Do you have another trip planned?

Hi there! Love your proposal story and looking forward to reading the rest! Sorry to hear about your pre-wedding drama! Hopefully when the big day actually came, it went off without a hitch!

Hi! Thanks for reading!! The proposal was fun. When we were just there I reenacted the spinning part haha

Hahaha hi I am reading.

Hi!!! Thanks for reading.. I have to find more of the cute smilies. I know there are more somewhere. I have seen them I just can't find them!!

The engagement story was VERY cute. Your DH is very creative. And WOW, that's a lot of drama to deal with right before the wedding. Can't wait to read more.

It was a lot of stress but it's ok. I guess 2 years worth of no stress meant I was going to have some. I forgot in the wedding stress post that our favors were cds and chocolate suckers. Well my cousin's friend or someone offered to make the suckers and 2 days before the wedding we found out she ran out of chocolate and instead of going to get more and telling us how much it was, she just stopped making them! So my MOH and I had to go get more and go to her friends house and make them! Craziness haha

Awww, what a great engagement story! Can't wait for the TR!!

Thanks!! The TR should be something. We had some little issues while we were there. I know everyone be shocked ISSUES IN DISNEY?!?! That is NOT allowed haha

I thought of this when I read the title of your trip report.....

What can you expect from a Kansas boy?

HAHAHA I got a kick out of that. I guess Buffalo NY may have been better huh?

Congratulations! That was a wonderful engagement story. I am sorry for all the stress you endured right before the wedding. I can't wait to read the rest.

Thanks for reading! The stress seemed like a lot at the time but looking back I guess it wasn't so bad.

can't wait to read more!

I hope I can keep updating once school starts. (I am a teacher and school starts Aug 3 for me)

Just found this...Loved your engagement story. Can't wait to read all about your wedding.

Thanks for reading. The wedding post should be coming in the next couple days. I just have to organize all our stuff and start preparing for school, then I can do this. Of course I am a big procrastinator and will probably do this instead of work stuff.

I am sorry that you had all that stress before your weding. I am looking forward to seeing your pictures. I love looking at weding pictures.

Thanks! I love looking at wedding pictures too!

Hi there!! I came over from Wigd's report and am looking forward to your report!
Congratulations and looking forward to reading the rest!

Hi! I swear there is a waving smiley but I can't find it soo I will put this instead..

Haha it's ok I forget to subscribe too! Thanks for the compliment on my ring. Tim did pretty good with this one. I guess weddings wouldnt be weddings without drama or stress somewhere during the proposal right? We don't have another trip planned but.... while we were there Tim got pretty interested in DVC!!! We aren't going to get it yet. Maybe at the earliest next year before we take an anniversary trip. The place we were planning on going for our anniversary is one of their locations so I am trying to convince him that we should do it before that trip bc the DVC downpayment will be cheaper than paying for the trip. We agreed that if we got into DVC, disney would be more like an every other year thing for us so we could go other places too. So we will see if we can get some bills paid down and can buy into that!!

Im still reading waiting for more updates!

 

[tinkabella627]

I don't know how long I can wait though! If I don't get them by Monday I am going to do an update with other people's pictures.

Here is one of my favorite pics. I think it is my from my MOHs pictures.

Thanks! I loved my flowers, and I even have a hidden mickey on there, but that is a professional picture that no one else apparently took haha. My girls bouquets were really nice too. There is a good pic of me alone with the flowers on my train that will be in here once I start the wedding day. Aren't you supposed to be on your way to Vegas?!

 

[micandminforever]

Wonderful picture, I can't wait to see the rest.
