DF is thinking about singing "Aint That A Kick In The Head" at our wedding I love that song, and it would be just right too!!

I like the 2nd pair of shoes too, Coz I have them, but they've got heals and black trim. Really cute, but I haven't had any where to wear them yet

Those champagne flutes are perfect. I think I want some...

 

[shippedtosea]

I definitely like the first pair better..I think the ruffles on the flats are so cute!!! Love the champagne flutes too!

Thanks hun!

First - Love the candy bar! You picked some great stuff, I like how bright the colors are

Second - The toasting flutes are even cute than I initially thought. I didn't realize those were little Cinderella carriages on the base!! awesome.

Third - I like the first pair more because to me the second pair don't look as "wedding-ish" as the first. I still like them, just not as much.

Oh and GREAT choice with Frank Sinatra. I absolutely love him and want to incorporate at least one Sinatra song in our wedding too....his music is so romantic and classic, makes me feel like I'm in a romance movie! I love "Come Fly With Me"

I am a big fan of the candy, I really want it to be happy and colorful, thats what candy is all about!

I was so happy with them when we got them, they totally beat my expectations. and were SO cheap....got to love ebay

I agree with you, I wasn't sure its always hard to tell especially when I am standing in my apartment it regular clothes haha. I think I am keeping the others anyway they will look good with jeans and such.

DF is anti Frank Sinatra (apparently?!) I was so surprised when he said he....it said its fine if its played at the wedding but not our first dance. He always surprises me when he comes up with this stuff!! OH well..

oooh so many updates!

On the songs, can't really help you there since we still haven't really gone through that, but I would say maybe try dancing to them and see which ones work best for that. I don't think you could really go wrong with Sinatra and especially since it has a special meaning for you both.

5 lbs sounds like a lot but with candy sometimes doesn't end up being very much. People will be scooping it into little boxes or bags I'm guessing? So you might need a little more than you think. I like the rock candy and yellow taffy and the chocolate balls and blue taffy. I think those best match your colors. The butterscotch is more orangey and the peppermints aren't quite the right blue.

I like the first shoes best, they're more dressy and girly.

The toasting flutes are really pretty!

I still have to figure the songs out. DF was unimpressed with my choices....BLAH. So we have to go back to the drawing board. He really liked the beatles and a smashing pumpkin's song I picked (which I thought he'd HATE) We are also trying to find a version of "The way you look tonight" That he actually likes.....so To Be Continued.

DF said 5lbs seems like a lot too....but its only buy it in bulk or pay a lot at a regular store....hmmmm..We will have little bags for them to take with them. I agree....I think the others are a little off once I put them all on the same page! I have to get DF to sit and actually look at them (which is way too hard lately!!!)

I agree...I am more girly then I thought i'd be for the wedding! and my dress is very girly as well.

I love the flutes

that would be AWESOME!!! DF get that on video if he does.

The shoes were SO cheap from DSW! I was impressed. I don't know if I am actually going to wear them...but i'm def keeping them

 

[ghoulish delight]

Okay, I know I'm a bad bad Disbride for missing out lately... BUT I want to comment on some of your most recent updates at least!

Your necklace is gorgeous! I think the simple pearl earrings and diamond looking plugs would set it off beautifully. Since the necklace seems to have quite a bit to it, I think the simpler the better for your earrings.

Your candy looks delish! And the colors are so pretty together. The toasting flutes are adorable too, yay!! Lastly, I think the first pair of shoes you posted are the cutest. They're kind of like fancier versions of the ones I got so I think they're just adorable. Teehee

Hey hun! Thanks for stopping by! Oh yay i'm glad you like the necklace....the more I look at it the more I like it! I am going to order the earrings soon and then I will have all my accessories!

We still have to order it all. Shipping is going to be crazy because it weighs so much! who would of thought that with candy?! haha I have to order like 30 lbs of candy!!

Thats another votes for the first pair! I think they are growing on me and they are super comfy which is a big plus

 

[shippedtosea]

Hello! I really have nothing much to post. I have started school so I am back on that...Tho I need to get my butt in gear and start putting together invites! 50 to go...haha

My earrings are being made now! yay! Also me and DF have been so worried about paying for the honeymoon...BUT...I got some crazy....."heres so money for being a student and being stuck with loans for the rest of your life" tax refund! so....we may not be as bad as we thought. I think we are def getting rid of club level, which would also mean the private safari....but if we don't use ALL the money people give us we can go back in a year or so (or maybe for Christmas ) DF has promised to take me back so I can go to Harry Potter land! and I want to stay at AKL, before we move back to the UK. soooooooo I am okay with all this...just as long as we don't have to give up Dolphins or Horseback riding....those are my top things!!

I also have a very random question...I just want to make sure....so I don't get thrown out or something. I did read that you can't wear your wedding dress to the magic kingdom so that little girls won't confuse you with a princess! I have this white sparkly dress that I wore for something else...that I want to wear to our CRT dinner.....and then run around in in that night....I just want to make sure they won't say anything! so here it is.

I would wear it without the sweater...its strapless

Also DF order his tux (its vintage) yesterday....I am SO worried it won't fit him. I measured him but the pants seemed off compared to the rest...so I donno if they will fit but DF was dead set on getting it. He makes me so nervous. pics when it arrives!!

Hope you are all having a nice day!

 

[weedee]

I really love that dress, the sunglasses are cute too I don't see them having a problem with that dress since it's not an overly formal gown. It will look great for pictures in the parks!

 

[BecBennett]

Yeah there should be no problem with that dress at all. It's really cute too!

 

[LLLBelle]

Love the dress, it's cute. And I don't see why they would have problem.

Thanks ladies! I was just checking because I really didn't want problems! DF kept saying do what you like but if they tell you to change you'll be mad.... Now we just have to find something for DF to wear!

BTW the door bell rung this morning...and I was just waiting up but jumped out of bed...hoping it was the suit for DF....FAIL...no suit. stupid book for school! I'm so worried to see it!



OH AND! (I actually remember on the day this time!!!)
4 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pezaddict231]

Yay four months to go! How exciting!

I love the dress, it's so cute and I don't think you will have any problem at all. I think they mainly don't allow wedding gowns because it could be long and princessy so people could get confused. I don't think anyone would mistake that for a wedding dress or give you a problem.

 

[shippedtosea]

okay...I am ready to freak out.


Can anyone guess what my wonderful future mother-in-law is wearing to the wedding?

WHITE? am I the only one who would be annoyed by this? She just has to keep making problems for me. I am so getting sick of her. Can't she just go along with ANYTHING?! She won't stay on long island, she will only stay if DF pays for her hotel (yeah because we have the money!!) and she also still wants him to come in and spend the day alone with her the day after the wedding. Then she emails DF and says what is Jenn's mom wearing to the wedding so I don't match? and then she chooses white. Anyone want to guess who she'd match NOW?!

Why are mother-in-laws CRAZY?

 

[MainStMandy]

OMG I'm so sorry!! That's crazy...and why does she expect her son to spend his first day as a married man with her?? CUT the apron strings!! Sorry that you are going through all that. My mother in law is wearing black to our wedding...we were a little ticked at first but then realized she didn't do it on purpose...it just looked good on her. White however...totally different story!

Thanks mandy! I don't know what to do but its the only thing that we fight about when it comes to the wedding. HER. She wrote this mean email saying she has been spending 8 months looking for a dress, and spending all the money on gas. I'm like geez. ya know my mom looked at a lot of dresses too but...stop giving me so much DRAMA!!! She also said that I can't tell all the guests what to wear...clearly not getting that I didn't mean all the guests I meant her...Most of the time the Mother of the Groom wants to look different and not match anyone because she is special too? I feel like i'm crazy. DF is now totally mad at me for being upset. :

 

[pink_tink8i8]

I can't believe your future MIL is doing that to you! How selfish! Just ignore her.

 

[weedee]

oh man, that's annoying. Maybe she doesn't realize that it's a major wedding faux pas to wear white if you're not the bride? Can someone in your family hint at her NOT to wear white?

 

[BecBennett]

How annoying is she!?! Can't you get someone else to ask her what she's wearing and when she replies tell them to ask with disbelief "You're wearing white to a wedding!?!?" See if that makes her think twice

Does she want a bouquet too??

 

[shippedtosea]

I can't believe your future MIL is doing that to you! How selfish! Just ignore her.

Thanks dear. I really wish I could. I asked DF not to tell me when she emails him....I don't want to hear it.

oh man, that's annoying. Maybe she doesn't realize that it's a major wedding faux pas to wear white if you're not the bride? Can someone in your family hint at her NOT to wear white?

thats kind of what I told DF but he says its a cultural thing? White is really common to wear to a wedding? Which is bull, if you ask me. Anyone thats from England can help me on this? he is actually siding with her which is whats upsetting me the most. WHY would you want to wear the same color as the bride? He says that no one will mistake her for the bride (DUH?) But what I was trying to say and he didn't want to hear is she will be in photos with me? and why would she want to wear the same? she also said fine I won't be in photos.....can't you just buy something different?

Does she want a bouquet too??

hahahahaha That would be awesome. Its so crazy. I bet she would want a bouquet if I asked her. Its like she wants it to be here wedding....

 

[pezaddict231]

OMG I would be furious! What is she thinking? Even if she was not aware of the custom here, it's kind of common sense that you don't wear the same color as the bride. I don't know of any cultures where anyone else would wear white, even in Asian cultures where the bride doesn't wear white, no one else wears it either, so I don't really think it's a cultural thing.

I find it so hard to believe that the staff in whatever shop she went to didn't say something about her choosing a white dress as the MOG.

I wouldn't even want her to be wearing a color that is too close to white, like a light silver, but that's just me, I want to be the only one in white, even my FG is not wearing white. It's your day and you should be the one to stand out. While no one will mistake her for you, it still will look funny in pictures.

Maybe someone can hint to her that no one but the bride is supposed to wear white here, and kind of tell her in a "looking out for her, don't want her to feel uncomfortable or have people whispering about her behind her back kind of way"? I don't know if you DF would say something to her, but you could go that route so it's not about you being upset, it's about how people will perceive her and she might be more willing to change her outfit. Because a lot of your guests will be talking about her if she wears white and not in a good way

I hope it all works out.

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

I would absolute loose it if someone wore white to my wedding. I can see it would be even worse when it is someone who is directly involved in it, and not a random guest. That is really frustrating...I hope it all works out!

SIGH...i'm glad I am not the crazy one. DF said I was being bridezilla about it. I was like COME ON?! You don't wear white. the bride does!!!!. My FG is wearing white....but I donno that didn't bother me. She is my mini me hahaha.and she is also having a big blue ribbon. Thats what I said! that it would like...blend it? or something and look weird. I also said it would be weird if she wore the same color as DF? I was like she is the MOG and special? and he didn't understand that either. I kind of tried that and she said I will have to deal she can't keep looking for clothes. which I was like HUH?! I was like its a huge NO NO to wear what the bride wears. and she was like not where I come from. I look good in white and its a summer wedding so its for the best. Me and DF got into such a fight about it that I just had to let it go. She apparently will not change it and she is in England its not like anyone from my side can nicely say "What are you thinking?"

She has also DECLARED that he is coming into the city the day after the wedding and I have no say in it. Seriously I am sick of her already. Can't she just not come?

I would absolute loose it if someone wore white to my wedding. I can see it would be even worse when it is someone who is directly involved in it, and not a random guest. That is really frustrating...I hope it all works out!

thanks hun! I don't think she understand the importance of not wear the same color especially when you are going to be in pictures with me? thats why she said she just wouldn't be in pictures. She is just a big brat if you ask me.
