Jen & Jeff's Wedding TR ~ SBP, Ariel's--- More Randy pictures!!

[Missy Mouse]

Yes, the new rooms were really nice! Jeff loved the TVs. He's been wanting a flat screen for so long. Yay, you understand my weird pickiness when it comes to eating then. I've never met anyone else who doesn't like eggs, so I'm glad there's another one of us out there Now I just need to find someone who doesn't like potatoes!!

I skeeve the thought of eggs and potatoes. I hate eggs of any kind. I have hermit crabs for pets and I won't make them eggs b/c I don't want to touch them (the eggs not the crabs ). The thought of potatoes o'grautin crunching between my teeth makes me cringe. You guys are definitely not alone.

Wohoo-- fellow picky eaters I'm showing this all to DH tonight so he knows I'm not the only crazy one!!

 

[IrishLily]

Hahaha. I'm yet another picky eater! It's hard being one, especially when you're invited over for dinner and you don't really like what's being served. I've been in too many of those situations. Swallowing whole is the way to go. lol And it breaks my FMIL's heart that I HATE raw tomatoes (in fact I really only like tomatoes in salsa and pasta dishes) because it's her favorite food. The lady has pics of them up in her kitchen!

[Malibelle]

Jen- I have alot of catching up to do but so far your pictures are amazing. I love the colors and the gerber daisy's are my favorite. You are putting me to shame on my trip report although I am just about to the wedding day. I hope to get to it this week.

Thursday, June 28, 2007 continued

After Jess and Paul left for dinner Jeff and I are trying to think of something creative to do for them Since we already bought them the champagne flutes, we knew it would involve champagne. But having champagne in the room seemed so boring and the room would be so tight w/ all of our stuff. Jeff and I decide we need some help so we go over to Mizner’s Lounge to see if they can help us out. Here we meet Lynette who is awesome! Just as awesome as Joe is actually! She says she’d love to help us out w/ the engagement surprise. She says she’ll decorate a nice table for us w/ flowers and she’ll bring out champagne for Jess and Paul in their flutes, and she’ll also bring out some strawberries. That sounds great! Since Wishes is at 10, she tells us to come back around 10:30 since Jess and Paul should be here about 10:45. We are so excited

Now it was time to take the monorail over to the Contemporary to meet Laura (princessdisneybelle) at Chef Mickey’s for dinner. I was so excited to meet a fellow DIS bride! We notice Chris and Laura as soon as we walked in b/c they were wearing their ears. Jeff refused to wear the ears so it was nice to see a couple who was actually wearing them. We waited quite a bit of time to be seated and we were finally seated!

We had a lot of fun meeting w/ all the characters.

Laura and Chris and Jeff and I even got some perks since it was our wedding time!

Mickey ravioli!

I was not too hungry this meal, so my meal mainly consisted of desserts- haha! We had a nice conversation w/ Laura and her family and it was time to say good-bye!

We were sad our DIS meet was over, but then we remembered Jess and Paul were about to get engaged! We were sooooo excited!

We got back to the GF and sat by Gasparilla’s to watch Wishes. After Wishes, we headed up to our room to get their champagne flutes and then headed over to Mizner’s Lounge. Andrea and Susan must have each called me 10 times tonight to see if the engagement happened. I told them both they’d know before I did b/c Jess would definitely call and tell the story to them first since she knew she was going to see me!

Lynette saw us and set up this beautiful table w/ flowers I wish I took pictures but I left my camera in the room since I thought Jess and Paul would take pics when they got here. We waited and waited and waited for Jess and Paul. Lynette told us that some nights getting out of the MK after Wishes is quite a challenge, so we shouldn’t worry. At 11:15, I finally texted Paul to see if everything was OK. He called me back and said, change of plans, I need 20 minutes Jen Ok, what was going on? I frantically call Andrea and Susan and we speculate about what could have happened. Andrea suggests maybe they got in a fight. Not too bad of a speculation since they were at MK all day and could have definitely been cranky and tired. 20 minutes go by and still no sign of Jess and Paul. Mizner’s closes at midnight and if Jess and Paul don’t show by then, Jeff and I are going to feel really really bad that we made poor Lynette do all of this work. Lynette supposedly did not care though. We were her only customers at this point and she said she really enjoyed talking to us.

At 11:50, Susan calls us and says the engagement happened. A minute later, I get confirmation from Andrea. Wohoo- at least they got engaged, we were really worried for a bit! Midnight rolls around and still no sign of Jess and Paul. Lynette gives us the champagne and strawberries for free b/c she says we were such good friends and had such nice intentions. That was so nice of her, we tipped her generously though for all her help

Jeff and I slowly make our way back to our room since we don’t really know what else to do. Then Jess calls us and says they’re walking into the lobby of the GF. So, we head back to the lobby and give them their gifts. They are both ecstatic and just glowing! You can tell they both have never been happier We were so happy for them. My gosh, I think I was happier for them than I was when Jeff and I got engaged I was so glad they allowed us to share this moment with them. It is really something I’ll always treasure.

This is their engagement story… Supposedly, Paul was all set to propose during Wishes but they were next to a hysterically crying child (no way, in Disney- haha ) and he thought that kind of ruined the mood. He even got down on one knee at one point and then decided to get up. After Wishes ended, he ran up to the stage by the castle and begged a security guy to get up there. the security guy lets them, but then some other CM tells them they are not allowed up there, so they get down. They take the monorail to the Poly and Paul suggests they get out and walk from there. Hawaii is Jess and Paul’s favorite place in the world. They went on their first trip together there 2 years ago and have been wanting to go back. Jess’s favorite character is Stitch, and the Poly is Stitch’s home. Paul finds a spot on the beach at the Poly where the castle can also be seen. He tells Jess something in Italian-- like let’s see if you were really meant to be my princess He pulls out a glass slipper from Arribas Bros. and sees if it fits on Jess’s foot. Now Jess is a little upset b/c she thought she was getting proposed to, but now she thought she was just getting a lousy glass slipper- haha Then Paul said something like oh no it doesn’t fit, here I have something else that might fit better… and he got down on one knee, proposed to her, and the ring fit perfectly

We stayed up with them in the GF lobby for awhile. They told us how the big day won’t come for 2 years and they were debating between Hawaii and NJ for the location. It was really great to spend this time w/ them. They were just glowing with excitement and we were so glad to be there. We went back to the room and they gathered their things and we said good night to our newly engaged friends around 2 am…

Next up- A scary phone call at 5 am! And our last day at WDW

Jen~ These pics turned out so great. We had a great time meeting you guys too. You didn't have a pic of your plate of desserts? Sorry just thought that was so cute. The engagement story is so cute. I'm glad it ended up happening.

aww, poor Nati! I'm glad it wasn't anything too serious! Boo for rain your last day there!!! When we used to go, it usually rained the day we were leaving, on the way to the airport, it actually helped, its easier to leave chilly rainy weather than a Beautiful Sunny Day at disney!!!

 

[myprincessgirlisa]

JEN: you 2 are GREAT friends...some brides wouldnt want their "thunder' stolen,but you & jeff went above & beyond to show them congrats & a good time!! what a great proposal story!!
Im glad the GF room thing worked out...someday I will stay there!! & Ill ask for Joe!!
I want spinach dip now...infact ANY food from WDW!!
Im glad Nati only has kennel cough..at least thats treatable. She will love her "gift"
Where is the Dis card holder station??
I love the color orange on you...looks great against your hair & skin

 

[Maggimus]

Aww its so sad its wrapping up. I hope Nati is better now. As you know we had something similar happen during our last vacation in May with our dogs. You're right, bordetella boosters are supposed to prevent kennel cough-- or at least HELP prevent. That's the worst part about vacationing is leaving the little animals behind. I'm glad things worked out and your mom was able to be with Nati though.

I bought that pin while we were down there too.

That stinks that you didn't get to tell Joe how much you appreciated him... but I'm sure coming back from a day off to a nice letter/card is definitely makes him feel good.

Cant wait to hear more...
