Joe and Jennifer's DCL Vow Renewal PJ/TR~ CEREMONY FINALLY!!!

[29apr00]

So i heard from Cathy today, she said she was still in the process of discussing things with the pastry department, but it's possible to get teh DESIGN of the mad hatter, but definaltey not the shape. that's fine as dh doesn't like the shape. But we may be able to do more color and the cute mickey swirls and hearts!!

What great news, you've been trying to get some answers on this for so long!

 

[Donald'sGirl]

Jen that's fantastic!!! I hope you get the cake design!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

Okay, I should not have clicked the link. I just read your entire planning journal...in one sitting!

I love your dress! You look so beautiful in it! It works perfectly for you.

And now I have a bone to pick with you...you just put the idea of a DCL vow renewal into my head. I always feel so relaxed on the cruise...maybe I want to do our vow renewal on the cruise and then just have a anniversary party (don't want to get into the restrictions that go along with a land vow renewal if I am not doing the ceremony there) once we are back on land. Hmmm...remember, it is ALL your fault that I am now confused! But seriously, how much fun is planning a DCL renewal?

I love your Lady and the Tramp figure, it's beautiful. And your invites. Those are stunning (all forms of the invite).

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and let you know I will hold you responsible when my dh rolls his eyes over the fact that I am now considering something totally different than the one I have already begged for.

I am looking forward to following along with you as you plan out the rest of your special day!

PS I loved the story of how you guys got together. What a sweet story! It's like a movie!

That's just how it happened with me!! I had already contacted a sales planner and we were discussing Wilderness Lodge Terrace in April, and a Dessert Party. Then i read Cheryls TR of her VR on DCL and I was sold!! It was sooooooo perfect!!! I can't wait to be on the beach!!!

Good luck making a decision Jay!!

Hey, Jen ONE YEAR! congrats things are starting to come together and move along. That is exciting! I love your list..... I see some very familiar to do things on there! Good luck. I'll follow your lead.....

 

[DisneyBrideToni]

YAY FOR 1 YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is a long list but you will slam it out in no time!

 

[lpizzuro123]

Lots to do but you seem to have it all covered. Just as an FYI - as far as the chapstick goes. I contacted an Avon rep in my area and asked her about the Avon Disney Chapstick. I told her I needed 30 and she sold them to me for 1/2 price. I thought this was a great savings and it brought some more Disney into our goody bags.

Oh man - I don't even have a list! Should I be concerned? LOL. You're more organized about this then I've been! I swear I'm so busy with work, our wedding's the last thing on my mind!

So happy for you about the cake design though! You go girl!

k, so this is the original bracelet Joe gave me on our wedding day.

After 8 years it broke and we fixed it and it broke and we fixed it and it broke...so on and so on. We finally decided that fixing it wasn't working anymore. So we decided to remount the stones into an anniversary ring....and here it is!!!

It's much bigger than i expected it to be. so i won't be wearing it behind my wedding ring which was my original plan. I'll end up havig to resize it for my middle finger, so it's next to my ring. good enought i guess.

I also had a pendant made! Joe said he would buy me a nice new chain for christmas so i can wear it.

There are still 4 stones left which he is making into a pendant for Jackie. It'll just be a straight line, not the Journey setting like mine.

I LOVE IT ALL!!!!

 

[padisneyfour]

Jen ,such a wonderful idea and it is beautiful!The necklace for your dd is a great idea too.

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Your jewelry is beautiful! I love how you used the stones from your wedding bracelet!

 

[PixyDusted]

I'm glad you love them! It's nice to have a matching necklace.

 

[PixyDusted]

Jennifer - I just noticed that you had "motion sickness pills" on your guest tote list. I wasn't sure if you knew that the front desk of the ship has them for free for anyone who needs them. Just wanted to let you know you can save money there!!

 

[Donald'sGirl]

Jen your ring and pendant are beautiful!

 

[jennifaerie]

What an innovative idea! If that happened to me, it just would have been put in a drawer, never to be heard from again.

The ring is beautiful, as is the pendant, and it's such a great idea to pass on the extras... you end up having history follow you, an heirloom!
