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

[29apr00]

5 months!! OMG it's coming soon!!!

I'm working on the rose petal cones......WTH was i thinking!?!? OMG these are so hard to make!!! i've got 2 different designs and i can't tell which one is going to be easier to do. i need to sit down this weekend and seriously work on them....who wants to come babysit my kids so i can make rose petal cones??

Shoes for Dh, DS and DD are still an issue. the kids feet are growing like crazy, Joey's feet are now bigger than Jackies. I don't want to get their shoes too early. Jackie should be fine...i can get her white dress shoes anytime. It's Joey and Dh that i'm worried about. they may end up barefoot on deck if I can't get something figure out soon. the problem is that i have no idea what to get them! I look, but can't seem to find "dressy" men's sandals! Atleast nothing that my husband won't question his masculinty in.

I've got the floral centerpieces on order for the Dinner in Palo! I'm getting small square vases with White Calla Lily's and Pink Roses....1 of each side of the long table. I think i'm going to look for some pink ribbon to wrap around the vase. That should look nice! I have to get the freeze dried rose petals for both Jackie's basket and the cake table....I wonder how early i can get that ordered? And i still need to determine where to get the colored sand from. I need to get moving or i'll be ordering and buying stuff last minute! Exactly what i DIDN"T want to do, thus why we started this 18 months in advance!

Wow--only 5 months to go, it's going by so fast! Your centerpieces for Palo sound really pretty.

Well if you can get them up north - I'll babysit for you! I'm taking my 11 year old niece out for strawberry picking tomorrow and then off to the Potato Blossom festival , so what's a few more!

Good luck with everything - it will all work out in the end I'm sure.

Meg my kids would LOVE to go strawberry picking with you! But....i think Maine is a bit far for an afternoon play date! But thanks for the offer!

I just found your thread and this is is cool! My husband and I are going on a Disney, 7 day Eastern in September. We never had a wedding, just went to the DMV in Denver and got our marriage license. That is how they do it here in Colorado, you get your marriage license at the Dept. of Motor Vehicles and they file the appropriate papers with the city to have it legal and on file. So we are legally married, just never had a ceremony or wedding of any kind!

So we have decided to do a vow ceremony on our cruise. It will be just us and the officer doing the officiating, but we think it is time to do the vows. We won't mind if other cruisers come round and watch. We have a Palo dinner scheduled right after the vows on deck! I think it will be perfect for us!

We were "married" in 2000! So your thread caught my eye and it does sound like a really memorable way to do it!

Congrats on your vow renewal! It sounds like it is going to be very beautiful and loving with family!

I am so looking forward to finally saying the vows to my husband and he is very excited as well! Ours will be very simple for us, since we won't have family along, but we are very simple anyway and this is the perfect style for us!!! :
What fun!

Hi Ariel,

congrats on your VR! Be sure to come back with pictures!!

 

[kaysmommie]

When we do our vow renewal, I need you to plan it . All your ideas are great! love the kids goody pails, very cute. Also your song list . The vases for Palo sounds very nice too. Love the Mickey Jewelry. I just checked for a Cruise quote but the Wonder is in Dry Dock during Kaylee's fall break and the Magic will be in Mexico, so that is out. For five more months. I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back. It's going to be a beautiful vow renewal .

 

[29apr00]

Thanks Nichole! It's really coming up fast!

 

[disneygirlsx3]

Hi Jennifer,

I was wondering if you are planning on shipping some of your homemade items ahead of time to the boat or WDW? Your DIY projects are great!. I think I should get my tushy in gear

Time is flying by your VR is coming up fast!

 

[29apr00]

Hi Jennifer!

I haven't decided yet if I'm going to ship stuff directly to the ship, or have it sent to us at WDW and take it with us....need to figure that out. My only problem is getting it back home. we get back into port on Sunday...PO and UPS are not open on Sunday.

 

[CinderelliT]

Jennifer,
You have done so much recently! I love your son's outfits! They are adorable. It is really hard to find cute clothes for little boys. There is just tons of stuff for girls, and the boys get completely neglected. I am so glad you were able to find a shirt at Old Navy. I love that store!

Your gifts for all the kids seem adorable! You have done so much. Good luck with the petal cones. If I lived closer I would totally help you. I am just too lazy to even attempt that! I would chuck the petals in a basket and tell everyone to grab a handful.

I cannot believe how close it is getting for both of us! I am starting to stress out about what still needs to get done! At least it is only a small list!

I hope some of these other DCL brides come back and post pictures!

 

[29apr00]

Hi Tanya!

Did you know you can buy pre-made petal cones!?!??! Check Ebay....about $1.50-$2.00 a cone...which considering the trouble i had just doing 1...sooooo worth it!

I have to get started on tshirts for everyone and my FE! And my Mickey Fans!! Ugh...i looked....can't buy those anywhere! Seriously! Come on past disney brides!! Help us out here!

 

[CinderelliT]

Good luck on the Mickey Fans!

I want to make some for my at home reception since it will be outside. There is no telling with FL weather if it will be hot or freezing cold. I haven't seen paint stirrers in the stores lately though. Have you been able to get any? Ashley had to go to Home Depot and have some cut for hers.

Let me know how it goes!

Also, where are you going to order your petals from? I think that the cheapest I've seen them online is at Save-on-crafts.com

 

[29apr00]

I'm just using regular craft sticks for the fans....popsicle stick ones.

As for the petals.....Brie told me they had to be freeze dried, not silk, incase they blow into the ocean. So i'm getting them from Fly boy naturals or something like that. I need to see how far in advance i can get those.

 

[CinderelliT]

I am going to do the same thing and save $ since Disney will charge a fortune for a small amount of petals. I'll have to look, but I think save-on-crafts has cheaper freeze dried ones than flyboy naturals. But I'll have to compare the amount for the price. How many cups are you getting? Is it just going to be for your dd's basket?

I think that they will last for months at a time. Maybe order them in Nov?

Good idea to use popsicle sticks. I didn't think of that!

 

[29apr00]

i'm going to need a lot i think....for dd's basket PLUS the rose petal cones i'm doing for the chairs.

 

[Donald'sGirl]

Just an FYI the Dollar stores sells the big popsicle sticks in packages of I think 30 or 50 for obviously $1! That's where I got mine.

Jen you are doing great! That is awesome you were able to get the petal cones premade on Ebay!

 

[29apr00]

Scheduled my fitting today!

Saturday 10/3....i told DB i needed the dress by Thanksgiving..so this is plenty of time. i don't need much done...just some cups sewn in.

- got the free dining code before it was released so we are good to go with that!

- waiting to hear back from an ebay seller about petal cones.

- hoping to work on mickey fans some day soon....not this weekend.

- Dh is going to do an aisle runner! He's good at that stuff.


shoes....yeah...stilll need shoes.

 

[Donald'sGirl]

Jen you are getting closer and getting lots done!
