I have wanted to comment about so many of your wedding posts, but the boards have been sooooo sloooow.

OMG you are so right! I had a glass of wine whilst I waited to make this reply!
 
•I love that print you got of SBP! So pretty!!! That's a great souvenir!
•Um, delicious cupcakes! Now THAT'S the best meet-and-greet EVER!!!!! :thumbsup2
•I'm so glad that you had great characters at 1900 PF. (Even though that Prince Charming is an ugly weenie.) I :lmao: when you said you were besties with Lady Tremaine.
•And even though it's the wrong movie...When I saw the picture of your dress hanging up and sparkling I started singing, "Look how she lights up the sky...Ma Belle Evangeline!" :lovestruc
•Omg, omg, omg, omg, omg! I'm so FUMING mad at your mother! :mad::mad::mad: What the H-E-double-hockey sticks! Frick!!!
 
•OOOH! I also forgot to say: I love Jiko! You will have an amazing meal there. Make sure you try the raw ostrich! It's so yummy!
 
Can't wait for the next installment Jackie

I have no words for your mother... nothing I could say out loud anyway...

Have been keeping up with your pics on facebook and you made a STUNNING cindy bride, absolutely gorgeous xxx
 

Okay, I was finally able to read all of the updates so far and I can even comment on them. :banana: Here we go!

Day 3, Part 1

* Love the was Dad answered the phone! That's priceless. :)
* The walk from BCV to Epcot is what totally sold us on buying our DVC there. We have walked over just to have a drink or have a snack of fish and chips. :cloud9:
* Excellent job on Soarin! I have never been first. Very jealous.
* Love the way the park looks at Christmas. One of favorite times to be in Epcot.
* Sorry about Uncle Frank, but at least HE MADE IT!!!
* So wait, Belle (not, Chris) is the love of your life???? :rotfl2::lmao::rotfl:
* Love the Belle photos. So glad that someone caught the expressions on your face.
* We love Beaches & Cream. Paul would probably say that it is reason #2 that we bought at BCV. But, it can really be a pain to get into at times. We actually contemplated trying to buy it out for a night for our Welcome Dinner, but figured it would be way too complicated. :scared1:
* Love that Chris spent the night with YOUR Dad! Not so sure there are many FIL and SIL who would be comfortable doing that. Glad that they were.

Okay, on to the next update....:yay::woohoo:

* First off, love the 3 dinner reservations. We loved Via Napoli on our last trip. Get the sangria it's delicious. :cloud9: Jiko is awesome. You will love it. I didn't love my first dinner at Cali, but we are going to give it another shot for my birthday.
* I am really happy to hear that you are doing okay. :hug::hug: Hollar if you need anything.
* Love the BW pic! That is awesome. We have a thing for David Doss' artwork (have 4 at the moment), so I totally understand. We have the Doss/Disney hallway in our house. ;)
* Cupcakes are a great idea. Love the photos!!
* Sorry about Lacy and the MIL. UGH!
* *** on Mom!!! Who does that??? My favorite part was that she wanted you to know that she was fine. Like that wss your first thought??? :scared1::scared1:
* Glad you had a blast at 1900PF after the mom text. Looks like they treated you right (which they should have). We love 1900. The food is always good (we have discussed the soup :cloud9:) and we have always had fabulous interaction with the Tremaine's. I think we even have pics with the same Drusilla and Anastasia. :)
* Cindy definitely was sparkling on her hanger.
* Sorry the ghetto spa didn't work out, but love the name.

Can't wait to read about Wedding Day!!! :dance3:

Okay....Mom at the wake comment -- Could she have made that more about her? WTH??? So sorry, sweetie. You and your grandparents deserved better than that. :grouphug:
 
Hey Jackie, another brilliant update!

Love the Larry Dotson print, it's lovely and I agree it's perfect for SBP brides.

I like the eating cupcake piccies - just pics of cupcakes doing what they do best, being eaten. They look incredible yummy.

I love Park Fare, the sisters are amazing. We went to PF directly after our wedding and it was a blast. it's so cool you and Lady tremaine are now besties! We had the same prince I think and I agree with you - boring. Anastasia is hilarious, one of my fav character meets ever.

As for your mum, I can't believe the way she acted at your dads wake. shocking.

Much love to you! x
 
Ok, so first of all...I'm really sucking at keeping with your TR. I blame it on being so busy at work. We'll just leave it at that!!

Also, I'm way freakin jealous of your upcoming stay at AKV. That was very nice of your Grandparents though! They sound like real super people. hahaha No really they do. I really wish I could talk Charley into going down there again while you're down there. That would be so much fun. I don't think he would go for it though. I don't see why not. You'll have to let me know how Kidani is. We stayed at Jambo. We did walk to Kidani to see the animals down there.

On to the TR!
-Don't you just hate it when you forget stuff? I forgot something EVERY single time we left the room. I promise I'm not exaggerating. That was really nice of Chris to go back to the room.
-Such lovely photographs you were able to get while he was away! (That sounds very prim and proper..DEFINITELY not me. haha) I'm exhausted I tell ya!
-I always keep some kind of jacket or sweater or something with me. As you know, I was a popsicle in a previous life... and seem to be predestined for the same thing. Back to you though!!! haha I love the one you picked out!
-I just have to say that I despise waiting in line for anything. Just so you know.
-I was so freakin excited about the lights. Aren't they sooooo beautiful?!?!
-Cute photopass pic. James is a pretty hip guy there! But I must admit, I would probably assume he was a cast member as well!!
-The 1 of you and Chris is adorable. I think your new sweater-jacket (ha!) looks good with your hot mama red dress!!!
-I would've stayed with you to look at the lights. Just sayin! (Not that it would've been anymore romantical with me!)
-I think in all honesty... I would've punched James in the face, after calling him a few nasty words..with several f-bombs!! hahahaha JK I would've been very NOT NICE to him though! ;)
-I also have a peace sign pic in the parking lot of AKV.. not my proudest moment!
-The BW sign looks like it's floating in midair. You're a magical lady!
-We were going to make ressies at the Yachtsman, but it seemed really frou-frou to me. I don't like to be looked down on when I'm eating. lol I think all of those cuts of beef hanging around would've made me sick. But I do love a good steak...as long as it's not mooing at me!
-Don't you hate being put at the ****ty tables just because you don't have kids or a group of 14?!
-Those mashed potatoes make me want to lick my screen!
-I never order items like the ravioli. I always say I'm going to branch out and try other things, but I always end up getting the steak. Did I mention that I love a good steak?
-That dessert does look way yummy, but $11?! OMfreakinG! And I'm just going to say it.. that kind of looks like poo smeared on that plate!!! hahahahahaha But I still think the dessert looks tasty. I think something's wrong with me.
-Now I have to say this.. I almost freaked out when I read the part about your Dad! I was laughing so hard. I had to tell Charley about it. We both thought it was really funny. I can just picture the whole thing in my head. It's exactly something my Dad would do.
-I would've been so pissed if I was him about not getting that food!

Yes I know.. I commented on every thing you wrote about. I can't help. It's a major problem.

Next part..
-AHHH!! Almost there!
-Running from law does tire a person out!
-I think it's just nifty period that you can walk between the resorts and both of those parks. It's really really nifty.
-Cool! When did they get the new board? Didn't notice that!
-You can receive great advice from some of the characters. Some of them just look kind of sketchy to me.
-Charley's dad likes to lay in the bed and watch tv like that too!
-Damn your nerves... and I LOVE cupcakes!

And the next part..
-I had reservations for CG for my bday, but I cancelled them. We looked over the menu, and I just didn't see anything I would eat. I'm very picky about food like that. So, I'm going to try to book Hoop Dee Doo.
-I can only imagine how busy NYE is. Christmas was horrendous!

And I just wanted to add in here.. I think about you all of the time, and how you're doing with everything that's happened since you're wedding. I've never lost a parent, so I don't know how you feel. I will just say that everyday that goes by, is another day you made it through. You'll never forget, but you learn to cope.

I LOVE your pics!!!

Next part..
-I am so jealous of your photo. Charley almost bought the same print.. of course it wouldn't have had that autograph!
-I want some cupcakes!!
-The 1 of Chris is funny!
-I can feel the weirdness between you and Lacy...
-Now.. I CAN'T believe your mom would text you a message like this the day before your wedding. (Or at all) I was so beyond pissed for you when I read this. I was cussing at the phone.. Charley was like ***? So I had to explain everything to him. Anyway.. I don't blame you 1 bit for feeling the way you do. Charley has apparently forgiven his mom for not coming to our wedding. (Or just doesn't care anymore. You know guys!) He told me I hold a grudge for too long. I told him that I didn't give a rat's *** if his mom came or not. I wanted her there for him, not me. No matter what he says, he was heartbroken when she didn't go. That's just something a parent is supposed to be a part of.
-1900 PF! I had their breakfast buffet, but it was yummy too. I just like the characters at breakfast better. The food sounds amazing though! You're pics are way cute.
-Prince Charming looks BORING as hell!
-The ESM sounds like she would be just fabulous. Reminds me of my chat with Mary Poppins. (Because we chat so often)
-I love your ghetto spa. It was an awesome try even if it was a no go.
-Poor Becky.. I scratch my legs sometimes at night too... I think they're just ashy though! hahahaha
-I think you're mom was being very damn immature at the wake. That's all I'm going to say, because they will censor what I really want to say. :)

I'm finally done. I must never get that far behind again. My comments are going to take up a whole page of your report...

Sorry again for the rambling... but that's just me. lol I'm a rambler!!!! I'm not proofreading this either.. so if something doesn't make sense.. you rearrange the words so they do!!! :upsidedow

I have wanted to comment about so many of your wedding posts, but the boards have been sooooo sloooow.

I love that you and your girls went to 1900 Park Fare for dinner. I might have to steal that idea! Your interaction with Disney characters is absolutely priceless. I was the same way when we met Belle, she noted that my DH was very hairy just like the beast, and asked me if I also had to often clean up all the hair around the house. :rotfl:

Your dress is just beautiful :lovestruc Can't wait to read about your wedding day.

The boards have been RIDIC lately! And I definitely think you should go to 1900 Park Fare: if even just for the soup!

* Oops, I meant Beach Club! Actually, until we visited the Boardwalk this past September I had no idea there were actually two resorts there - I'd only thought there was just the Boardwalk!
* The painting is awesome - we also got a Larry Dotson print and were able to have him sign it while we were there, I think it's really cool!
* Your mom is just ridiculous. It makes me really mad to hear that. For her to text you... and then basically say "well, hope you have a good time" and that's it on your wedding day... ugh!!
* 1900 Park Fare looks like a lot of fun. We did breakfast where they also have the strawberry soup, and it is so delicious! When we went on a Carnival cruise they had a very similar soup, and a bunch of different "fruit soups" on different nights. Yum!
* Loving the Wicked Stepmother! She doesn't seem so evil after all ;)
* Sorry your Ghetto Spa didn't work... it sounded like a good idea!!

Yeah, I hadn't spent ANY time over there until we were married. Now I love it so much. Which Larry Dotson print did you get?? And my mother IS ridic, but I am over it. And those fruit soups sound AWESOME! (Even though they're basically liquid ice cream... :D)

Ghetto Spa - that is just soooo funny :lmao:

Brill brill update. Did you bring your own cupcakes or were they from Disney?

We are going to 1900 Park Fare a few days after our wedding when DD has her treat day and goes to Bibidi Bobidi Boutique, all the reports are really good.

:mad: at your mum for everything she has/is putting you through. Stay strong x


oh and....



OMG you are so right! I had a glass of wine whilst I waited to make this reply!

Oh, the cupcakes were from Publix! Disney charges way too much for everything. I am SO jealous of your daughter btw: I wanna go to the BBB!!! And having a glass of wine whilst waiting for the boards to load is a fab idea...

•I love that print you got of SBP! So pretty!!! That's a great souvenir!
•Um, delicious cupcakes! Now THAT'S the best meet-and-greet EVER!!!!! :thumbsup2
•I'm so glad that you had great characters at 1900 PF. (Even though that Prince Charming is an ugly weenie.) I :lmao: when you said you were besties with Lady Tremaine.
•And even though it's the wrong movie...When I saw the picture of your dress hanging up and sparkling I started singing, "Look how she lights up the sky...Ma Belle Evangeline!" :lovestruc
•Omg, omg, omg, omg, omg! I'm so FUMING mad at your mother! :mad::mad::mad: What the H-E-double-hockey sticks! Frick!!!

•OOOH! I also forgot to say: I love Jiko! You will have an amazing meal there. Make sure you try the raw ostrich! It's so yummy!

You totally should have come to the cupcake meet and greet. Did I mention they had little plastic rings? I got an octopus. Yup. And I can TOTALLY picture you saying that... because I know what your voice sounds like. Uh huh. Also, you gave Becky a heart attack with the raw ostrich comment. :lmao: I don't think I am that adventurous: is it really good?!?!?

Can't wait for the next installment Jackie

I have no words for your mother... nothing I could say out loud anyway...

-Um, Belle is definitely #2 on my list of loves of my life. (Joshua Jackson is number 1...) Hahaha. I kid. Mostly!
-And I have an adorable story about Chris and my dad later. Just you wait!
-Definitely give CA another shot! It's so amazing. And I did have the sangria at VN--- that's my favorite alcoholic drink. It was the best at Yachtsman.
-And I love David Doss too. Disney art is so pretty.
-And my mom is basically just the devil. Stupid Shirley.

Thanks, hon! The Tremaines are just great: I love it when characters don't just bypass you because you're not 5.

Okay, this comment was so long I had to open up a Word document so I could reply to it: But it made me smile!!!!
-You need to convince Charlie to take a May trip!!!
-I hate waiting in line too. It’s awful. I am very impatient.
-I looovveedd the lights. SO much. They make me so happy.
-Thanks! I loved my red hot mama dress. TJ Maxx $20!
-Oh yes. Our peace sign pics are infamous.
-Yachtsman wasn’t frou frou at all! It was more “adult,” but not too frou frou. Very simple décor.
-I was so proud: there was a bunch of strange stuff on top of the ravioli, and I actually tried it and it was SO good! So you should branch out too, if I did!
-HA! “running from the law does tire people out” hahahaha I am dying
-I think you will love Hoop de Doo. I have a good Hoop story coming…
-Thank you so much for keeping me in your thoughts. <3
-I agree: a parent SHOULD be part of the wedding. Chris’s dad didn’t come, and he was sad, but he understood. I don’t think I will ever forgive my mom for her behavior. I don’t know if I will ever even speak with her again. I’m not mad, I just don’t want her in my life.
-I assumed you chatted with Mary Poppins all the time. (I also called her "poopins" the first time, which almost made me break into hysterics.)
-And Becky was happy you didn’t think she was weird haha.
Whew! All done! :D
 
It's time to start the wedding day! I hope you are all as excited as I am. :cool1::cool1:

Wedding Day, Part 1: Getting Ready

I woke up without an alarm at 5:00, but laid in bed for awhile and waited for Becky and Richelle to wake up too. I woke up with this horrible feeling of nervousness: and I don't mean to say it like I was dreading marrying Chris or anything, because I certainly wasn't (the exact opposite): I think it was more of an "Oh my gosh, so many things have gone wrong already; I really hope nothing else happens" kind of feeling. Thankfully, Becky and Richelle were there to calm me down: Richelle told me that she had woken up, panicked, in the middle of the night because Becky was making weird noises and she was convinced that Becky was destroying the dress. :lmao: Thankfully, Cindy had not been put in harm's way.

The morning was rather uneventful until Beaute Speciale arrived: we did the little things we could do until the girls showed up, and I also had Becky order us some room service: mimosas and a continental breakfast platter for the 3 of us, and also a continental breakfast for my dad and Chris. I STILL don't know how much I spent on breakfast that morning, but I think it was close to $80. Gah!

The girls from Beaute Speciale arrived a little early: we had Jessica and Jessica, who I hadn't heard a lot about from the boards. Anyway, they were both really nice. We had to take the patio chairs from outside because the BC chairs were too high to do hair: in other words, we were keeping it super classy. Richelle put on some Backstreet Boys (she knows me so well), and we got to work.

DSCN0366.jpg


Oooff these are not flattering pictures of me: but it's still dark outside!

DSCN0368.jpg


Can you see the nerves??

Right after Becky's hair was all done, room service arrived: and we met Martin the British Man. I really, truly wish I had thought to take his picture. He was absolutely hilarious. He informed us that a Mimosa was known as a "Buck's Fizz" in England, and he told us that the "guy who opened the door in the other room you had us go to looked half dead." Finally, he left us with this: "I am going to give you some words of thought for today. If it takes cunning to get to the top of the class, does it take genius to stay there?" He left...

...and then the 5 of us just BURST into uncontrollable laughter.

Meanwhile, Martin was also entertaining in my dad and Chris's room: my dad was the "half dead man." He opened the door very confused, and he came in with his tray and said "I've been instructed to make you very happy!" to which Chris muttered to my dad "Is he going to do a magic trick or something?" (Why was that his first thought?!) and to which my dad replied "Does he have hookers underneath that cart?" And, I found out later that both of them thought that my grandparents had been the ones who had sent the food: so my first good wifely deed went unnoticed!

Then it was Richelle's turn in the chair:

DSCN0370.jpg


(Both of them only had hair done, by the way, no makeup)

I should also note that I'm wearing the Bride hoodie that Melissa (pinkmiss3) gave me. :lovestruc

DSCN0372.jpg


As our hair was being done, our beautiful bouquets arrived:

DSCN0376.jpg
I was in love. I still am, actually.

The girls finished up a little before 8:30, so then it was just time to wait, which was awful. Christy called to let me know that Chris was taking pictures in the lobby, and she would call me again when she was ready for me. In the meantime, Richelle took some pretty pictures by the window:

DSCN0374.jpg


DSCN0375.jpg


and then I snapped one of her all dolled up:

So pretty!

We waited around for a little bit. My dad tried to come in the room (remember, my whole family was on the same floor...), but Richelle and Becky refused him entry. We got me into my dress instead (it's really amazing how many people it takes to get a bride into a dress, isn't it?)

Fluff that dress!!!


We were a bunch of giggly wrecks by this point. Becky started doing her bobble head dance, which is best described by the following picture:

We keep it classy.

And then, it was time to go! Christy gave me a call just a few minutes after 9:00 that it was time to go meet Randy. I already had people "oohing" at me just on the walk outside: it was time to really start my wedding day.
 
So so so gorgeous!! You all look sleepy and adorable! :hug:

Your dress was just stunning on you.
 
I can just picture Chris and your dad both looking half-dead. :rotfl:

I think you ladies look pretty darn good considering it seems you all had some pretty odd dreams. ;)

I love you hair and makeup, Jackie. You look so pretty! :goodvibes

Can't wait for more!
 
:banana: Wedding Day!! :banana:

Jackie, you look so beautiful!! Your stories about Martin are too funny. And those mimosas look delish! I can definitely see the nerves (the waiting on my wedding day made me crazy, you look much more mature and collected than I was). Please say you are updating again soon, I am dying to see more!!!
 
Wow, you look just beautiful! The hair, make-up, dress, bracelet, necklace, it all looks so perfect. Can't wait to see your husband's reaction :goodvibes
 
have not had a chance to comment. I love these pictures you can really see how you were feeling which is great. I love the way cindy sparkles.

The mimosas WERE delish, but I didn't have time to finish mine because I had to put lipstick on. I don't think I'm over it yet; those babies cost $9! I was obsessed with TIME on my wedding day. Were you too?!

I wondered where you were! Welcome back. :D

******************************
Okay, I have some unexpected free time (and I did my reading for the week... have you ever read Spenser's Faerie Queene? If not, DON'T!), so I have time for another wedding day post! Woohoo!

Wedding Day, Part 2: The Boys

Unfortunately because they are men, I don't have any pictures of the guys getting themselves ready: to be fair, none of them had to do much. Like I said, Chris spent the night with my dad, and he later told me that he had to DRESS my dad. My poor dad couldn't figure out how to put on his clip on tie, or how to do his pocket square, or how to do his lapels, and Chris even had to adjust his tuxedo pants. :lmao: I don't think my dad even bothered with the cufflinks: thankfully, he still looked good! (Chris kept telling EVERYONE he had to dress my dad though. The pants are still my favorite part.) James and Luis also came to their room to get ready...

...which means my dad is basically in all of the groomsmen pictures! He basically looks like a fourth groomsman. It's sweet.

All right then: time for the Randy pictures! I don't know much of the story for any of these, so it will mostly be photographic. I also don't know how to adjust the size in photobucket, so forgive their enormity.

(I thought this was very Reservoir Dogs-ish)

Chris claims they were TOLD to run at the birds... but I still think they did it of their own accord.

I think Chris looks especially handsome here. :D

(He's SO nervous!)

This picture, perhaps, best describes the relationship that Chris and my dad had:

(Unfortunately, my dad looks like a serial killer in all of these pictures!)

JC14991-6-12.jpg

(See? My dad totes looks like an unhappy groomsman here! :lmao:)

JC15171-6-12.jpg

That's Chris and his best man: I think they both look adorable.

And I feel like this one is slightly Darcy-ish.

And then, from what I can tell, Chris and the groomsmen got in the car and went over to the Boardwalk. I can tell from his smile he is SO nervous; it's so sweet! (During my portraits, I asked Randy if Chris was nervous. His response? "Oh, yeah, Chris did good!") They had Chris wait in ESPN so that he wouldn't see me while I was taking pictures, which is just yet another thing that I loved about having a Disney wedding: they took such good care of the details.

Next time: my pictures with my girls!
 
I love the picture of your dad with Chris! Too funny!

The boy's pictures turned out great (I'm with you on the bird thing!) and can't wait to see moaarrr!
 
Yay for extra free time! Loving all the pics. Though now I have to worry that there's gonna be like no pictures of pre-weddingy stuff from the boys. What is it about having male bits that equals not taking pictures of getting ready for important life events? :lmao:

The one of Chris near the reeds just really stands out for me. I'm not sure if that's the Darcy-ish one or the one before it.

And you look so calm and collected in your pics! Did the mimosa help in that aspect? Maybe I should look into that ;)
 
Oooh ooh an update :banana::banana: love the patio furniture shots :rotfl2: I now know what to expect in August :thumbsup2 and I may have to order some Bucks Fizz too.

Chris looks soooo handsome and very D'arcy. Cant wait for more.
