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

[29apr00]

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!!

Good to know. Thanks Mikkel!!

I love how the jewelry turned out! My mom loves rubies too and she has them in her wedding band and lots of other things too. I like how you were able to have a necklace made for Jackie too.

 

[MegKate]

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!

Agreed - It would have been in the bottom of a drawer only pulled out once a year while cleaning or something. I would have considered fixing it, but it would never happen and would be in the bottom of the drawer again.

I esp. like the journey necklace - what color!!

 

[29apr00]

thanks Ladies! I really appreciate it!

Funny...i have a Tanzanite braclet that is broken too. wonder what to do with that one. I bought that myself before dh and I met.....hmmm.........

I wore my necklace on xmas day! Yeah! So happy! I love it!!

The calenders i gave as xmas gifts went off huge! Everyone was so impressed with them and everyone is getting really excited now!!! AND....i had a "fairy godmailer" send DCL postcards to each family from Mickey welcoming them onboard!! We got ours today so everyone else should get theirs soon too!! I'm so excited!! What to do next???

This weekend MIL and I went to Joann's Fabrics because they had a 30% off sale on bridal fabric. 1st we had to select a new pattern because she didn't think she would be able to do the original one.

Then we got some ivory satin and a beautiful lace overlay that matches my dress perfectly!! And the softest pink ribbon to go around the middle. I'm so excited!! I can't wait for Jackie to see it!!

 

[padisneyfour]

Jen, the dress/pattern looks and sounds so pretty! I am sure your dd will love it! That is an exciting step for her! I know my DDs keep asking when we can go dress shopping.....I really love the calendar idea!

 

[29apr00]

so as i'm laying here listening to dh snore....again....i'm thinking about how i really want things to play out. This is to be the wedding i always wanted...not the one our parents wanted. And i really want to do this up right...and really nice!!

So i've decided to change things around a bit. I've asked Cathy about getting the Palo room for dinner the night of the VR. We'll send the kids off to the clubs and us 10 adults will have dinner in Palo. we can have a nice relaxing meal with good wine and leftover wedding cake to celebrate not only our Vow Renewal....but the actual family trip.

yeah...plus this dinner allows me to do more weddingy type stuff i didnt' get to do the 1st time like table decorations and place cards and fun stuff like that. I figure if I don't get what i want....then heaven help Jackie when she get's married.

I also think i'm going to look into Cards and Pockets as the invites. I like what i did as a trial run, but i want something a bit more sophesticaed and classy. I think the pocket folder is very nice...and i'm seeing a bright pink folder with pale pink stuff inside. Not sure what the stuff inside is...paper wise i mean. I want the invite on the inside...then a schedule of the day on the flap.

i just hope i can get a small amount. i only need 10.

 

[trudy88]

I think they let you buy small amounts.

 

[Donald'sGirl]

Jen I think the Palo idea is wonderful and will also give you a little break from the kids! Plus anything so that you can do more projects, right?

I am doing the cards & pockets too and I only need 15 and I know they can do that many so I am sure they could do 10 too.

 

[29apr00]

YES! Time away from the kids!

 

[Mrsdisneyb2b]

What a beautiful idea to reset the stones! That is just beautiful and such a nice idea for dd!!

 

[figmentfan814]

That sounds like a great idea. Palo's is so great and it will be a perfect setting for your wedding dinner

 

[jaycns]

Oh a Palo dinner!!! WOW! What a great idea! Hee hee hee...I am seriously taking notes. And now I am out of here, I promised myself I wouldn't even peek (but I have been) or post on the planning threads until I finished my current TR...your idea was so good I had to break that promise.

I also love the idea of resetting the stones. How precious!

 

[DCLbrideSept2009]

Okay... I've been reading this PJ that started early 2008 and reading about all the planning you've done already... and my DCL wedding is before yours! I can't believe you already have your dress and all these other things done/planned!! Good for you! Now I gotta get my butt in gear and get something accomplished! We have the cruise/wedding booked and the honeymoon at WDW booked... that's about as far as I've gotten...

Oh, and LOVE your flip flops!!

Now back to finish reading your PJ!! (I'm only on November!)

 

[Goldeelox9]

Jennifer, DOn't you need 12 for the Palo room? Would you just pay for 12 people? I think your whole day is going to be fabulous! I am jelous you still have your VR to look forward to and my wedding is over!

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

Jennifer, DOn't you need 12 for the Palo room? Would you just pay for 12 people?

you need 12

I was short one person, so I invited a couple that we cruised with in 2005

I thought I was going to have to add my bridesmaids son (who is 18) just for a name, but the couple wanted to come eat with us

is it 10 adults PLUS you and DH???

It's 10 right now, but i'm hopeing my grandparents book once FL rates come out in the summer. And hopefully we'll get a few more DIS'ers in the group too. HINT HINT HINT Betsy!

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

oh lord, if I could, I would!!

Maybe you should see if there is a meet thread on the cruise boards. That is how I met both my bridesmaids in 2005!! In fact, everyone who was at my VR except Mom and DH I met of the Dis in 2005 for our Halloween Magic cruise

 

[jennifaerie]

Jennifer, the cruise meet threads are really helpful.

I'm on two right now, and one group is setting up meets on the boat and fish extender groups. On the other, I ended up meeting someone who was on the cruise I took last year. It was a first cruise for both of us, and we ended up having a lot in common but never met on THAT cruise. Now I'm going to meet her on the upcoming one, and I never would have known if it weren't for the thread!

I really like your "new direction" you'll have your own reception! you should try local art supply stores they also sell the cardas and pockets and pre cut inserts.
