Kam & Kev's WeddingMoon!

[kbushue]

We will be eloping aboard the Disney Wonder this fall! Super excited and counting down days til we leave! We have alot of stuff planned between now and then, so I'm sure the remaining days between now and then will fly by!

Super Exciting! Good luck!!

 

[kbushue]

Thanks! I'm working on keeping a journal of my photos and experiences to help others out. Plus it's a little obsessive to plan I'm mostly done, I think. Having a Disney coordinator and the wedding packet makes things a lot easier. We are down to only a few things on the 'to do' list: having our rings sized, ordering the license, picking a photo package, and last little additions to our ceremony clothes. I am highly considering a knitted bolero to go over my dress for the evening.

My theme is Robin Hood and Maid Marian... I watched it so much as a kid that the end of the VHS tape erased!

I love your Robin Hood theme!!! Those 2 have always been one of my absolute favorite Disney couples! I can't wait to read more.

 

[kbushue]

Me too!!! I really think Maid Marian should be added into the list of Princesses. She's just so sweet and witty at the same time!

Right now I'm working on making a pretty elaborate door design for our cabin. And I'm also making 'just married' announcements using the shot at the end of the film when you see the just married sign on the carriage as they kiss.

And I just found out that a good friend of mine from the midwest is going to make me this Bolero as a wedding gift! Complete with freshwater pearls and swar crystals! I'm so excited!!!

 

[KristiLyn]

I LOVE all of your plans! Your theme is awesome! And your dress and veil are beautiful!!!
And the bolero will look great!!!
Can't wait to read more!!!

 

[KristiLyn]

P.S., and your wedding is very close to mine!!!

 

[kbushue]

We are getting married at the Swan

I'm super excited Mindyjoy! I haven't ever been on a cruise, so I'm hoping this one will be a doozy all around!

I love the Swan! So elegant! That'll be amazing!

It was my first cruise too and it was totally amazing! You can read my trip report in my signature if you want. Or don't if you want to be completely surprised!!! But, I do recommend going over to the Cruise Meets section of DIS and participate in the Fish Extender if there is one for your cruise. Oh, and bring earplugs! Our cabin was way creaky when we were moving. It didn't bother DF who is a heavy sleeper but it sure bothered me!

For your profile picture, is that from KTLA? Did you do one of their wedding makeovers?

 

[kbushue]

Oh I will def check our your trip report!

Yah! It is from KTLA! I won the first Stranger Change Her Wedding makeover. It was a blast! And I got a free dress that I absolutely love! It was scary, but so much fun!

Too cool! I work from home and I have KTLA on in the mornings, so I probably saw you! I tried to apply after I got engaged but they stopped taking applications.

Just a little update...

I just emailed Shanda our finished wedding planning packet! And we should be paying off the remainder of our bill this week! I got my custom veil in the mail yesterday! Things are coming together!!!

 

[Firetwirl]

Loving your PJ! Can't wait to read more!

 

[kbushue]

It's official! Everything is done and paid for! Now I get to have a little more fun in finishing touches

I'm an etsy-aholic, so I've been scouring their wedding pages for unique items that will make for great hand me downs to my kids. I know there is a big fad for bouquet charms, and this seems a great way to bring to mind all the family and friends who won't be joining us. So I'm having small charms made from photos of my mom, sister, grandma, papa, and my two dogs. (Today, my brother in law is taking our family dog Teddy to be put to sleep. So I feel I need to include him since he's been a good friend for the past 15 years, even though I haven't gotten a chance to see him for a long time.) I love the idea that after the ceremony, I can put all these charms on a bracelet and save them to hand down.

I also ordered a bouquet charm with our names and wedding date stamped on it, and some 'i do' shoe stickers be my 'something blue' in the ceremony.

They also have adorable little felted bluebirds to put in your bouquet, so I may fall victim to those too!

I have my something borrowed (my Mom's Tiffany pearl necklace that my sister and I bought her in Florence, and that my sister wore to her wedding as well.)

I have something new (a pearl bracelet that my DF bought me to match my mother's necklace)

So now, I am just lacking something old... and my wheels are a turning.

Now, I still have flutes to have custom made, once I decide on what exactly to put on them. I'm still waiting to hear back from Arribas Bros. to see if they will etch Robin Hood and Maid Marian on them if I do my own designs. And I'm well into creating my magnets for our cabin door. I got a long and narrow dry erase board for messages, but I still have to start our themed FE. The long weekend will be great for that!

I also ordered a Stitch lanyard from Tokyo Disney and a little Stitch coin purse to hang on the end to keep my cards and things on the cruise. I love the Japanese style Stitch.

Just found your wedding planning journal. Good for you. I'm an Etsy a holic too and this is our first cruise (same one as you, I'm organsing the FE). I'll definitely stay up on reading on your wedding plans.

Thought how about tracking down a vintage lace handkerchief as your old (could also come in useful)
