Jackie and Chris's Wishes Wedding 1/6/12: SBP/Attic/SCP 5/11 Final Post- PJ Finished

[DoomBuggy0922]

Ughhh I had all of my replies typed up and then I lost them!!! Blah!!! So, here's take two.

Love the shot of you 2 dancing through the cake server.

Damn you, for leaving your report just before cake pics LOL. I will try to wait patiently for the next update.........is it up yet? LOL

Haha I am sorry!!! I am mean!

Your pictures are amazing Jackie! And that food! OMG!!!!!

Mickey watermelon... fantastic, I need to make that happen!! xxx

The food was sooooo good. And yes, you certainly need Mickey watermelon in your life!

•The fruit and cheese spread looked so yummy! (And cute!)
•I'm so happy you had the Beauty and the Beast rose, yay!
•I freaking love those name tag chocolates.
•Omg, I laughed so hard when I read the part about Luis being Chris' online friend…and then us being your online friends.
•The food looks soooo good. I want 1 of everything, please!

This was actually the first time I had seen the fruit and cheese spread: but it did look cute, huh?!?! And I had to put my foot in my mouth about online friends....

Jackie, I love all of your pictures! I had no idea they would do Mickey head-shaped watermelon!
Watermelon is one of the fruits we're having on our brunch buffet, so I will have to ask for that!

I absolutely your guest book! Where did you find it at? I remember seeing it earlier in your PJ, but I can't remember where you got it.

I also love your Beauty & the Beast rose centerpiece on your sweetheart table!

Yes! Get the watermelon! And I got the guestbook from the disney photopass website. (I stole it from Danielle up there!) It's kind of pricy, but worth it: some of my guests didn't even know if they could write in it because it was so nice.

Day 3
-I love your face when you were talking to Belle. Isn’t it strange how we sometimes feel like we are talking to the real characters?
-That Belle is sooo pretty!
-I’ve always had a thing for Gaston. He is sexy! (and yes, the beast should be worried!)
-The store in Japan is like the coolest store in all of World Showcase! Peter went crazy when he saw all the Godzilla stuff. I need to see your pony bag and stickers!!!!!!!!!!!
-That is a really pretty picture of the Boardwalk. Disney Art is nice to look at when Disney withdraws are taking place.
-Mmmmmmm CUPCAKE PARTY! Everyone seems to really like the cupcakes!
-I can’t believe your mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to kick her!!!! I mean who does that!
-The mashed potatoes at 1900 Park Fare are the BEST!!!!!
-That Price Charming is a bit blah.
- That Lady Tremaine ROCKS! We had her too! She plays her part so well.
-You look so pretty in your dress! And the sparkly cardigan is magical!
-GHETTO SPA LOL!
-I can’t believe that you mom acted like that at your dads wake! I swear some people do not know how to act like decent human beings!

-You have some great friends, especially Richelle, for being on the lookout for Cindy.
-$80 for breakfast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But this wasn’t just normal breakfast it was WEDDING BREAKFAST!
-Why did she put on the Backstreet Boys? *N’SYNC would have really set the mood! Jk In all honesty though you have some great friends. They seem to have made your experience so fun.
-HAHAHAHA about the hookers! That seems like a logical response!
- I am so happy that you wore the hoodie!!!!!!
-I love! Love! Love! your flowers!!!! Don’t you think it was such a special feeling when they arrived?
-Jackie you look gorgeous!
-What is it with boys and not taking pictures of themselves! Ugh! I would have love to have seen Peter getting ready.
-Randy took some amazing pictures of the boys, what the hell am I saying, all of the pictures Randy took of your wedding were AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-You know they ran for the birds on their own. Lol
-I think my favorite picture is the one where your dad is choking Chris.
-AWWWWW Jackie you just look so beautiful and happy as a bride!
-I can soooo picture you letting out a loud f-bomb. That’s funny, and classy!
-That was nice of Chris to keep the Christmas decorations a secret.
-The pictures of your dad when he saw you for the first time make my heart melt. Those are some wonderful photos. You should frame them because that is a magical moment.
-The Model A was a great choice!
-Randy does such a good job with the reflection shots.
-You should have gone on the beach!!! But I do understand the Kate Spade dilemma.
-I am so happy that you felt like a princess!!!!
-Becky has some cool tattoos! I noticed she is a hello kitty fan. (I have the same pink gloves as her) It’s so nice when someone shares the obsession. That was so nice of her to go on the hunt for the veil.
- Did you feel like you were running out of time? I did. I remember I asked Randy for the time and he told me, “Do you have somewhere you need to be?” I just busted out laughing because when you think about it, why are we asking, they have it under control, and where else could I possibly need to be? But the control freak in me needs to know!
-I am now on Part 5 YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I am leaving work so I will continue the update later. I am determined to catch up!!!!

-Um, what do you mean we FEEL like we’re talking to real characters? They ARE real!
-Gaston is creepy!!!
-I dug out the pony picture. It’s a very, very bizarre tote bag.

SO WEIRD!

-Will you go kick my mom for me please???
-I want mashed potatoes!
-Yeah, Becky and Richelle are kick butt.
-On that note… BSB >>>>> N SYNC FOREVER!
-I did love seeing my flowers. I felt like a rockstar!
-Yes, but: do you SLEEP in your Hello Kitty gloves?!?! Hahaha. (She knows I’m teasing her.)
-And HA! I can totally hear Randy saying that--- about having some place to be. It’s such a good point!!!

ok, FDD (Future Disney Daughter), I fell behind (again) and now I am caught up (again)...The good thing about falling so far behind is that there are fewer "hey, there's a hatch" kinda cliffhangers.

*Sadly for us there will be no special transport. I am already afraid of our budget with 7 events, so no money for it. Also, don't really think it works for UK. No one will see it for most of the time.
* I will definitely be stealing the ribbon and flower idea. Awesome!!
* So glad you get to go for NYE. I really want to some year, but Paul is resistant.

on to the important stuff....

Part 6

* The picture of Dad kissing you made me tear up. It's absolutely beautiful.
* I really love SBP. Perfect spot for a ceremony.
* I know all that she did leading up to the wedding, but I am kinda happy that Lacy made it.
* Love the vows! Both sets were beautiful. Paul is threatening to say "Ditto" to mine, knowing that mine are done.
* Love, love, love the Major Domo. Very fitting for a Princess.
* What do you mean you don't get to keep the slipper???? That should be a keepsake and engraved even!!! Piffle!

Part 7

* Awesome photos! You both look fabulous and happy.
* The staged exit pic is gorgeous. I am so torn on petals, bubbles or ribbons.
* Great shot in the car!!

Part 8
* You have to be the center of attention on wedding day. Silly!!!
* Love the shots with Dad. Smile, please???
* Your Grammy's dress is lovely.
* With both Dad and Chris looking like serial killers. Does that mean you like serial killers??
* Lacy's dress is very nice. You really look thrilled to be standing next to her.
* Glad you got shots with everyone too. We want that as well.

Part 9
* Love the Bridal portraits.
* Great job not falling on the stairs. I am so bad at that too. No balance.
* Love the photo of your asst. stopping traffic. Don't mess with her!!!

Part 10
* I love the guest book, but you already know I planning on stealing it for November.
* OMG! Mickey Watermelon!!! So cool!
* Food looks amazing! We are definitely doing the parmesan chicken and the cheese soup too. I think at the Welcome Dinner. YUM!
* The Attic looks fabulous. Stupid DJ rule.
* Cool shot with the cake cutter. I haven't seen it before.
* Speeches looked fun. Glad you enjoyed them.
* I hate posed toasts too. Soooo awkward.

Okay....all caught up. "It's not Penny's boat" and all.

Glad you’re back, FDM!

-Glad you’re doing the flowers and the ribbon! I wish you could go for NYE with us!
-I guesss I am happy that Lacy made it. Well, I am glad Chris was happy.
-Chris and I kept discussing how he was just going to say Jack Shepherd’s vows to Sarah: “I didn’t fix you. You fixed me.” I’m glad he didn’t!
-I wish they gave me an engraved slipper!
-We did bubbles because Chris really wanted the bubbles. I kind of wanted rose petals (I loved Danielle’s pictures), but I am happy with our bubble pics!
-Grammy bought her dress before I bought MINE!
-Yummmm the food at all of your events is AMAZING!
-Yay! We’re both caught up!

Wedding Day, Part 11

So, as I said before, I was standing around talking

and then my cake arrived!

I wanted my Mad Hatter cake to be inspired by the Magic Kingdom: everything else, I left up to the bakery. They decided to make the cake look like a scrapbook, and I was head over heels in love with it.

There was just somuch detail, and it looked different from every angle.

I think my favorite fondant characters were the glowing castle and the carousel horse (because it looked like a pony).

Chris's Dharma Initiative Groom's Cake also arrived. (This cake doesn't really make much sense if you're not a LOSTie.)

Woah! Look at this Bride's Awesome Cakes!

After the cake hustle and bustle, Chris and I stepped outside for a bit and just looked over the Boardwalk.

I think we were starting to look a bit drained...

But not too tired for a kiss!

 

[DisneyEverAfter]

I love everything about your wedding day! You looked gorgeous! I enjoyed all of your pictures & it gets me excited for my day & I can't wait! I hope it turns out as beautiful as yours looks!

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

Wedding Day, Part 12

I've been having a really rough week dealing with everything, but I need to get this part of the wedding day over with or I know I will just reach a standstill. I'm not going to tell much of a story for this series of pictures--- please forgive me.

My dad decided it was time for the Father Daughter Dance. The song I picked was "There Goes My Life" by Kenny Chesney. I'd link to it here, but I haven't listened to it since and I am too afraid to do so; but please look it up on youtube if any of you are so inclined.

My dad was very nervous during the FDD: he was shaking the whole time! He managed not to cry, at least. We just made fun of people during it. He also got himself yelled at, as he stepped on my dress and ripped it!!!! (So typical.)

Okay, that's all done. Phew.

 

[Pinkgirl]

Another wonderful update. Mickey Mouse Watermelon!!!! Love your cake but have to admit I have no idea what Chris's cake is about

I've never seen the cake server photo before, it makes a lovely picture. And the pictures of your FDD have brought tears to my eyes. x

 

[librarygeek]

* All of the food at your wedding looks delicious!
* I am in love with your cake. It looks amazing! I can't believe they did it without any direction from you (other than the MK theme). Very impressive!
* I'm not a Lostie so the other cake is a bit lost on me lmao, but I appreciate any sort of nerdy/fandom cake!
* The pictures with your dad are so sweet. He looks so, so happy for you.

 

[CinderALLIE]

I love the colours on your cake.

LOL, nearly every pic your Dad has glasses on, even inside. Maybe he knew he would rip your dress and thought you couldn't hit a guy wearing glasses

Sorry to hear about your rough week.

 

[yourgypsy]

Oh my gods, Jackie! The cakes are SO awesome! (I get to be the first LOSTie to reply - woohoo!) I love the detail work on the MK one. Did Chris love his cake? Are there any reaction shots?

I love that your dad had his sunglasses on. It's because of all the sparklies on the dress, huh?

 

[jlocmac]

Let me go ahead and start commenting before you take off and get ahead of me again.

Part 9
-Love the shotgun pose pic!
-Isn't SBP the most gorgeous place for pics?!
-I still think it's so cool that yall got to ride down the damn BW in that car!!
-You look sooooo pretty and sparkly!! And Chris does look so handsome!
-You could say goodbye to Dick.. I'm sure you would be seeing him again later.....
-LOVE the pics on the stairs. We didn't really get any like that. I'm jealous!
-I'm so glad that you didn't go rolling down the stairs in that pretty dress. That just would not have been good at all. Not good at all.
-I feel the same way about your pic outside the BW resort. Pure Jealousy!!! I hope you're happy now. Oh well, ideas for the VR! Which BTW, Charley actually does talk about with me!!! lol
-That pic of Kelly is hilarious! What's even more hilarious is that her name was originally Keppy, because that's what I typed 1st..
-Those pics kind of look like the balcony on the BW side of the BW lobby. lol If that makes sense. I'm not sure if I'm correct or not.. but I like to think I am at all times. Just ask Charley!
-I REALLY LOVE the pic of you that's right about the pic of you and Chris on the circular couch in the BW lobby. You look soooo radiant!!!
-Again... those signs leading towards The Attic.. we took those out of the holders. lol Randy took 1 or 2 out for us.

Now a break for Danielle...
How dare you?!?! (said all dramatical and stuff like that!) lol I guess I deserve that for the cracks about your raw *** ostrich!! hahaha

Jackie, How dare you?!?! (blah, blah, blah.. as before with Danielle!) I'm sorry!! I'm trying my best. I damn sure read the updates. I just can't stand commenting on my phone while on break. By the time I get home from work, I don't feel like doing anything except sinking into the couch! lol If Charley didn't cook for us, we'd probably starve. We've been working around 55 hrs a week trying to save money for all of my Disney trips!! hahaha It's sad, I know... but I feel like it's worth it. Anyway... sorry I'm such a slack *** friend!! I'll try to do better. I promise!!! (I know I say this every single time... just go with it!)

Part 10
-I want to eat that Mickey head!! And I LOVE lemonade! It's like my fav!
-I love coffee too. I'm telling you.. we were meant to be! I'm just sayin... hahaha
-Again, your guestbook is lovely.
-That food is making me soooo hungry. And guess what I get to eat tonight. Subway.. some damn subway... I want some fried chicken!!!
-Your SW table is in a different spot than ours was. It's so pretty though.. but I still think they should have let you keep that rose!!! I'm just saying. That could've kept the case.
-I love those place cards. Do you still have them? Or did you eat them? We still have our chocolate ears that was our cake topper (since we ate our whole cake..) and the chocolate pic of the GF that we got from the GF cafe (even though the chocolate border is broken into pieces.. all of those pieces are still in the bag!) We have all of this in our freezer. lol
-Your toasting flutes are so pretty.
-Did you feel famous being announced by the Major Domo??
-Our SW table was set up against that wall where you had your 1st dance.
-I think it's so cool how Chris met Luis. I bet his speech was really cute!
-I'm not judging you.. but I'm sure Richelle's speech was just lovely!
-I hate taking those posed pics.
-We also had the apple cider, and we thought it was very good too. But I agree.. not for $37.
-Your food looks so yummy!!! I'm glad everything turned out so good.
-Charley roamed around and talked to people some. I stayed at the SW table the majority of the time. I just really felt like crap by that point. lol

Part 11
-Your cake was amazing. I saw it on Randy's FB page the same day of your wedding, and I showed it to Charley and told him that HAS to be Jackie's cake!
-You're right. I don't understand the Lost inspired cake.
-I like pics outside on the balcony.
-How did you feel about all of the smooching? We're not PDA ppl at all, and I think we kissed more during our time at Disney than we have period!! lol

Part 12
-I love the pics of you and your Dad having your FDD. And he had no reason to feel bad about ripping that material. It ripped VERY easy!!
-I also love that he kept his sunglasses on!!! Hilarious!!!

There... now I'm caught up again!! (and ahead of Danielle... just sayin!! )

Now I must go watch Ellen!!

 

[BethieTink]

Oh, Jackie....

Sorry you are having a bad week. I hope that you are feeling even a tiny bit better today.

Ok, on to happy stuff

Your cake is amazing!!! Wow! I can't believe they got all that with that little bit of direction. I am now rethinking my idea, which was never really set in stone, but maybe we should be even more vague.

Your Dad looks so happy during the dance, the whole day really. Sorry he ripped your dress though.

I remember that day checking facebook to see if you had posted a picture yet and finally seeing one from Andy White that he tagged you and Chris in. I could tell just from what he posted on facebook that day how happy he was for you both and proud too.

Now you have the hard part over. Good job, FDD. And, I managed to comment on these two parts in a timely fashion! Go me!!!

BTW, someday we will make a trip at the same time. I know we will!

 

[tric8783]

Still loving everything, Jackie!!
Those cakes- wow! The MK theme really is amazing, how they put so much detail into it and made it all come together, I love it!!
My DF would love that cake! Did you post or do you mind sharing how much they charged you for it? How does a groom's cake work? Do you cut into it too or they just cut it up also? I've always thought of one, but not sure really it's purpose other than being fun! haha

The attic looks like a perfect space! Love all of your pics with the BW per usual! I the picture of your reflection in the cake server- I've never seen that before! I especially like that it has the DFTW logo too

The pictures dancing with your dad are priceless. Love that he's wearing his sunglasses! he ripped your dress??? aww

more, more, more!

 

[elleinad16]

Now a break for Danielle...
How dare you?!?! (said all dramatical and stuff like that!) lol I guess I deserve that for the cracks about your raw *** ostrich!! hahaha

~

There... now I'm caught up again!! (and ahead of Danielle... just sayin!! )

AHAHAH, omg, I just laughed for about 10 minutes when I read this.
You are awesome, Jennifer!

~

Ok, so--

•Both cakes are so splendidly beautiful and awesome! I LOVE how creative the bakery team was. SO COOL.
•And, the f/d dance made me cry happy tears. Those are wonderful memories, Jackie.

 

[EpcotBaby]

Hi Jackie !
My name is Kristin and I just joined this site today. I am in the beginning stages of planning my Sea Breeze point wedding ! I have been reading your page for what feels like hours now !! This is the first post I opened and I am so glad I did : ) Your wedding was absolutely beautiful I seriously started crying when I read the post about your Dad, I am so sorry.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I loved seeing your plans and your beautiful day unfold !!

 

[belle2211]

Wow! Your cake is freaking AMAZING! I love love LOVE it!!!

And the pictures of your father/daughter dance are so sweet..such great memories!

 

[princess_ariel_85]

Hey Jackie, I'm all caught up, all your updates were wonderful.

Love the guestbook and the Mickey confetti. The Attic looks brilliant.

OH WOW! The rose looks stunning, it's honestly one of the most fabulous things I've seen at a wedding, much love for that!

I cannot believe (well actually I can..) your MIL didn't see your first dance, how fluffin' rude.

Btw I want to steal Luis. I love Super Mario and the "Chris has found his and she is NOT in another castle." Brilliant!

Your cake is outstanding and very unique. It's wonderful, it looks almost too good to eat.

Aww at you and your Dad dancing. I wanted to do that with my Dad but well he dances like a nutcase so we decided not to!

Well done for writing it, I admire your bravery xx

(I do believe I just hit my 1000th post with this.. on such a special TR too! )

 

[tinkerbell 766]

My sweet Jackie!!
I really hope you are feeling a bit better today!!
What an amazing cake!!! Such wonderful detail!!! You must have been bowled over by it. I am sure Chris's cake is just what you wanted, but I have to admit that I don't understand it at all!!!
More lovely pictures of your lovely Dad to treasure!!! It's wonderful that you have so many good ones of him!!
Much love sweetie xxx

 

[Princess SarahK]

Okay so I have some good news and some bad news..I'll start with the bad first then brighten it up with the good.

Bad News:
-I am a bad person/disbride who was seriously delinquent in logging in, catching up, and commenting on all your excitement!! I deserve several lashings.
-I wasted almost an entire day at work catching up on your PJ/TR. I started exactly where I left off (ahem, November, ahem ) My boss probably wont be very happy with me should he find out. ---please say a quick prayer for me.
-For a while there, you had a serious Bridesmaid Brat situation and I was prepared to hike all the way up to you guys and give her a piece of my mind...that girl is CRAY!!

Good News:
-I am totally caught up on all of your planning, your GORGEOUS wedding, and all the drama and sadness that has found you lately.
-I absolutely love your wedding! It was amazing and exactly how I imagined you were planning!
-You were seriously stunning!!
-Your photos are great!!
-Your hair was FANTASTIC!! I wish mine would have looked more like yours!
- That Brides cake is ridiculously wondrous!! There are no words in my opinion that can truly give it all the glory and credit it deserves...freakin awesome!
-Your entire TR has been great so far! I wish I could remember all of the small details and excitement from our trip that youve included in yours! Although im sure a lot of my forgetfulness is in part due to the fact that I waited about 3 months to start mine...uggh can you say lame?


Also, I am so truly sorry to hear about your loss. I cant say anything others havent already said, and even if I could it wouldnt make things any better for you. I am sending prayers, positive thoughts, and lots of love your way.



Anyways, I am so excited to be back and following you again! And Im very interested to read more, but im pretty sure from now on Ill have to do it from home..while DH plays Call of Duty.

 

[DisneyLaura]

Hi Jackie!

I just started to read your PJ three days ago and I'm around page 42. I wanted to post here because I have a couple of things to comment on and I don't want to forget.

First of all I think everything I have seen so far is beautiful. I love your guest but the life of me can't seem to find where you made it from. Your dress is gorgeous and you certainly look like a princess.

I have been married for almost 16 years and plan on doing a 20th anniversary vow renewal. We have three beautiful children, DS12, DS10, and DD 6. I wish I knew 16 years ago that Disney had weddings because I would have done it the first time around. I follow a lot of weddings on the DIS boards to get ideas and I certainly have found some from yours!

I'm so sorry for all the trouble you've been having family members. All that matters in the end is that you and Chris will be married. I'm sure I won't have anyone at our VR recept for my children but all well. Don't care.

Also I wanted to tell you I live in CT too! I have been here all my life but want to move to FL due to the winter cold. I hate it! Ok off to finish reading!

 

[DisneyLaura]

Oh Jackie! I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I lost my mother 2 years ago to pancreatic cancer. She was only 60 years old. So I totally understand all of your emotions you're going through. I miss her every day but it does get better I promise.

Everything so far is just beautiful. I'm loving the Attic by the way, putting that on my places for our VR if we can. It's very charming.

I'm up to date with your TR! Just finished! xoxo

 

[MrsDrewsky]

Your cakes are amazing. Your wedding cake is just so fun and whimsical, and your grooms cake is brilliant.

The photos of you and your father together are so sweet I just love how excited and happy he looks for you in all your photos.
