And I really like the idea of doing TV couples... I especially like the sappy quotes I think it will work with your wedding. Let us know which TV shows you pick!

The most exciting thing in wedding news is that we've had yet another slight color change. Originally, I was doing claret with ivory, then it became claret with silver once I realized I didn't want the ivory to clash with my white dress. But, the day before one of my bridesmaids (that's Becky, aka starssaygoodbye right up there) was going to buy her dress, we came to a stark realization: Alfred Angelo doesn't have silver! (It's very dramatic in bride world, as I am sure all of you know.) As two of the dresses are two-toned, we decided to go with claret and charcoal. I'll also probably have my dad's tuxedo vest be charcoal. I think it's pretty and elegant, no?

So, mini-color crisis averted! Becky has ordered her dress and Richelle (the MOH) is getting hers tomorrow...

*edited*

Other than that, I'm just collecting inspiration pictures. Our planning session is in 24 days, and we'll be back in WDW in 23 days!

Good call on the two colors you've picked, they look great together!

 

[pinkfairy1684]

I am a big fan of the charcoal! Good choice!!!!

And you are right about it being dramatic in bride world...

 

[BethieTink]

Love the claret and charcoal! Great choice.

Sorry to hear about your problems with your future sister-in-law. Hope it turns out okay.

 

[elleinad16]

I love the new color combo, Jackie!
And YAY! for your planning session being so soon! You are going to have so much fun.
Also, I totally hear ya on the no sleeping situation...So many things are starting to get to me and I don't sleep well at all. I actually sleep for just a couple of hours, get up, get a glass of juice, and then lay down on the couch. Hopefully, all of our worries and stress will be gone soon so we can get some good sleep!

 

[One_Song]

I think those colors are beautiful together! Very elegant.
Agh, the bridal insomnia! I constantly have dreams that I get to the wedding and I don't have a dress, or there are no flowers or music.
Can't wait to hear about your PS!

 

[librarygeek]

The color combo works really nicely together! Good choice.

And good luck with the bridesmaid "drama." I hope you can talk to the girl and hopefully things can work out. I never in a million years thought I would have any bridesmaid drama, given how low key my friends are, but even I had my fair share, so I think it's just something that comes with planning a wedding! Unfortunately.

I love your color choice! I too had to change my color from silver to charcoal. One suggestion though. I let my girls pick their own shoes and I had said silver because that was my original color. Well, one of the bridesmaids got a gray shoe instead and everyone agreed that the grey shoe looked way better than the silver shoe. So if you were planning on having silver shoes, you might want to change to gray!

Thank you! I think Becky should take more credit for it than I do.

Thank you. I sent her yet another fbook message asking her to call me, so I'll keep you guys posted!

I love the new color combo, Jackie!

Awwwww. I hope so too. I slept a littttle better last night out of exhaustion. I hope you did too. I'll think of you next time I'm up late.

Ahhhh!!! Those are awful dreams. I had one over the weekend that my dad got eaten by a shark and I had to walk down the aisle by myself. (Why did he get eaten by a shark? I have no idea. I think I'm too excited for Shark Week...)

I didn't think I'd have any either--- but, alas! Thankfully, Becky and Richelle are REALLY on top of everything. I am so thankful for both of them.

Oohhh actually--- Becky and Richelle already thought of that! They are already on the hunt for charcoal shoes! I'm letting everyone pick out their own shoe color/style/etc though.

Hi Jackie! I found you!!!! I definitely just spent the evening reading through most of your plans! Your wedding will be amazing! I love your ribbon center pieces...I think the Minnie Mouse one is my favorite!!!

Also, your dress is AMAZING!!! Just the idea of going wedding dress shopping stresses me out!! I have NO idea what I want!!

We will be there, probably staying at Pop (we decided to go value so we could afford to head to the beach for a few days after Disney!!), from Jan 6-11, so maybe we'll run into you guys! That is, if I can move from my hotel room after running the 1/2 marathon!!

I'll keep reading along for sure!!

PS - HI BECKY!!!!!

 

[princess_ariel_85]

Sorry I'm a bit late... but your new colour choices are gorgeous, love the charcoal with the claret.

Have things with your SIL worked out yet? xx

PS - HI BECKY!!!!!

Thank you for reading! I'm glad you found me.

I was really lucky with dress shopping... I had been staring at the Cinderella dress for months, and I knew it was the one. I am a very straightforward kind of girl, I suppose!

And Pop is the way to go! I've stayed there 4 or 5 times, and we'll be there again in 18 days!

Sorry I'm a bit late... but your new colour choices are gorgeous, love the charcoal with the claret.

Have things with your SIL worked out yet? xx

Thank you! And, actually, things with the SIL have worked out! She chose a dress, but now I am ---surprise, surprise!--- having more difficulties with Alfred Angelo! I will post more about that when/if it gets resolved....
