Jo & Den - PJ - 15/09/08 *UPDATE 5th May : Phone call with Rosie *

[JoJo1980]

Hey Jojo

I think your computer can tell that your planning something thats gonna cost a lot of £££££££'s so its probably playing up deliberatly

The number inc code is : 001 321 939 4610

Literally in 2 mins of dialing we were talking to someone from Disney Fairytale Weddings which was oh so exciting

Im getting worse & worse with the amount of time im spending on the net & its all wedding planning . God help my df when i get everything underway with Disney, its gonna be a non stop planning fest till May 09

If you are anything like me i intend to go on the net for say an hour & by the time i ve come off half of the day has gone . My poor df's trying to get on the net to check out Tottenham sites but im being naughty by constantly hogging it

I so cant wait for Oct to come round, i just hope the next few months fly by

It kept playing up all night so I couldnt get on I was dying to see whether I'd had a reply from Randy, but I havent yet - It was weekend though so he was probably busy with weddings or having a well deserved rest.

Thankyou for the number - I think we will be phoning them tonight YAAAAAY

I'm obsessed with the net at the moment I really am hooked, DF says Im gonna have square eyes in the wedding photos

I'm sure the time will go quickly

Hey JoJo, hello from another UK bride! We're looking at December next year but it's never too early to start planning in my book

We booked Randy a couple of weeks ago for our (hopeful) date and he usually responds quickly - within a day. I know he is really busy this month so bear with him. He is such a lovely man and really friendly and helpful.

I love the proposal story, absolutely brilliant.

Let us know how you get on with Disney and post any Q&A's you get from them as we want to know everything! I called them last week but got someone that basically told me to b*gger off until the 18 month mark. I only wanted to ask a question

Who are you looking at for an officiant?

Hi there! You are so lucky to have Randy booked - I really really hope he's available for our date! Too right, its never ever too early to start planning. I think planning is an exciting part of the wedding it turns the enjoyment of one day into a few years of excitement!

Awww no Thats not very decent of them! I know they are busy, but its always nice to be polite & helpful! Yep, dont worry, all my planning and random babble will be put on here over the next few months - you'll be sick of me by then

I'm not sure to be honest! I think maybe Jack Day or Rev. Knox but I havent looked into it that much yet. We are not really religious types so we'd like to do a sand ceremony and maybe the hand ceremony too - just to make it a bit more special

 

[JoJo1980]

I'm going to try and add some pics of my engagement ring, not sure if it will work as this is my first time posting photos!! I'd quite exciting

Oh heck, It didnt work - I wont give in !

 

[JoJo1980]

 

[JoJo1980]

Erm ... they are a bit on the HUGE side arent they! Sorry! Will try & figure out how to shrink them

 

[feline figaro]

Yay you ve posted some pics

Your engagement ring is gorgeous, thats what you call a proper sparkler .

Have you decided what kinda ring you want for your wedding ring??

Let us know how your call with Disney goes

You sounds just like me, when i first mailed Randy i was constantly refreshing my emails in hope that id get a reply . I think when one came back i screamed,i frightened the cr*p out of my df

Must admit im having a simlar problem when it comes to choosing between Rev Kevin Knox but my other preference is Rev Miller. I think we re gonna go with Kevin but still am not 100% sure. I ve been brought up C/E but my df's an atheiest (sorry for spelling on that one )so we re not gonna go for a religious ceremony either. My df's keen on writing his own vowels for us so well see what he comes up with plus i really want to have a unity candle as part of ceremony.

Have you found any pics of the dress styles your looking for??

Thakyou I love it, I think i'd like either a gold band wedding ring or one with a few princess cut diamonds in it to match - oh decisions decisions! I feel like I'm waiting until dates are booked and then once its locked in I'll be hitting the net & shops even more and will be posting millions of pics on here

We didn't phone last night as I found out it was Presidents Day and I thought they might be closed for the holiday?? But, we did have some great news ..... RANDY IS AVAILABLE FOR OUR DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Faints*

*Wakes herself up and carries on screaming*

I am sooooooooooooooooo HAPPY I just checked my emails now and saw the reply & I seriously think I woke the whole neighbourhood up!!

Even our dog is celebrating

Yep, I've got lots of pics with ideas - I dont think I've found 'the one' yet but I've got an idea of what I'm looking for I'll sort my pics out today and will start posting them

I think its so romantic that your DF wants to write the vows I think the candle ceremony is a lovely touch, I thought they might blow out at SBP so thats why we've gone for sand

 

[OceanGdss]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay



So tell me all, what did they say, how quickly is the ball gonna start rolling???

 

[JoJo1980]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay



So tell me all, what did they say, how quickly is the ball gonna start rolling???

I'm soooooooooo giddy right now - my hands were shaking on the phone, I've been waiting over 2.5 years to make that call, I want to cry like a baby

The lady on the phone was lovely! She asked me some questions, what location we wanted, our names & contact details, if we'd done a wishbook etc... and that a co-ordinator would call us within 3 business days! She also said she was going to email me with some links to info about cakes, flowers etc... but that they'd been having trouble with their emails, I've not received anything yet I'm so giddy right now though that I'm not even bothered I'm just so happy that the ball is rolling! Only problem now is that we've decided to change the date to the 18th, so Im gonna have to call Randy and hope he's available then instead. I might wait until the planner sets our date & time though, because I dont want to keep messing him around But then again, I might send him an email just to keep him informed

I hope they do phone soon as I'd love to know that the date / times are fixed in - that is the point when i'll feel truly relaxed

DF is very happy too, he's celebrating by munching on a box of Milk Tray, although he feels sick now - serves him right for eating all my caramels

I was looking over last years park hours and saw that MNSSHP was on every friday night and that wishes wasnt and we really wanted a wishes cruise, so by switching to the Thursday we should be ok. I bet when the dates are released that they end up doing it thursday instead now

I've got plenty of ideas, I think for my bouquet Im just gonna go for roses and maybe freesia and the cake is definately going to be beach themed

I've sent Randy an email - just to keep him up to date

No problem Its 'Mickeys not so scary halloween party' everyone seems to call it MNSSHP for short


If you click on the planning section at the top of this page and then go to 'Park hours' under the theme park heading on the left hand side of the new page - you can then choose the month you want to look at and it should give you a rough idea

 

[lov2b@disney]

Congratulations! So excited for you-hope you hear from them soon!

Then...let the planning begin

 

[JoJo1980]

Well, I've got lots to update here!

I had a call back from disney They rang & left a message while I was at work, it was just gone 1pm, so I rang them back that night when I got home. I spoke to Doreen and she was LOVELY - she took down our details and has penciled us in for our exactly the time, date & location we wanted I couldn't believe it was available!! SQUEEEEEE! So we've got to phone her back before Tuesday with our hotel reservation number & then we do all the contract & deposit stuff I guess

5PM ON THURSDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER 2008 AT SEA BREEZE POINT

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

So, the major panic is now on for us to decide where to stay & book it tonight, so I can phone Doreen back with the ressie number tomorrow - Yikes!

I also rang Randy's studio & Linda answered and I told her the situation & that we wanted to switch to the 18th and she said he was available - YAY! I also heard back from Stan at STVS and he's available too!! I really really really can't believe all the luck we are having!

I've been searching the internet for dresses and I'm in LOVE with lots of Mori Lee's designs & they are all in my price range! I think i've found a local stockist aswell, so that is where i'll be heading when I start the dress hunt

I feel like this week is going to be quite stressful as we are going to have to make alot of decisions & fast, but hopefully by the end of the week we'll have lots more things booked and then I can relax and start the shopping
