You've planned the Disney wedding that I always dreamed of having, but it just wasn't meant to be. I am so glad that your dreams are able to come true and you will experience your heart's desires. May your life be filled with love, excitement, and extreme joy. I've never been so excited for a person I've never even met. LOL.

Thanks for the kind words...I feel fortunate every day to have what I have, and to be able to do what we're doing. It's truly amazing, and I think that after 33 years of hard work things are coming together quite nicely!!

So I haven't updated in a while. All I really have to update is my success so far with my 90 days of working out mission! I am 21 days in and successful so far! I convinced my sister last week to take tennis lessons with me, we started Wednesday and I think I'ma bit in love with the sport - it's great! The past 2 weekends I went for epic 12 km walks, and am now up to 100 crunches a day. I'm trying to add in some weights too at this point to try to get my arms in some kind of decent shape too.

I also started a blog recently (linked in my siggie) so that's helping to keep me on track workout wise! It makes me feel somehow accountable for actually following through!

Nothing much to add wedding wise, I considered adding transportation from BW to HDDR and then to EPCOT for the DP, but it just doesn't seem worth $488 when we can get there for free...I also considered in the past few days adding on some decor for the DP, but again can't see it being worth it...I highly doubt people would really notice! So I guess I really have got it to the right place!

So last night I was talking to my mom, and she decided that she also wants Patricia to do her hair and makeup. As we were talking I decided she should probably stay overnight as well....which has escalated into me planning a GIRL PARTY!

I have invited both my sisters and my mom to stay over the night before the wedding so we can all get ready together. We originally had booked a 1 bdrm villa, so this morning I called to upgrade to a 2 bdrm. There were no 2 bedrooms available at BWV, so I changed to Beach Club, and have both views waitlisted at BWV just in case one comes up.

I'm so excited! This way we can get our manicures and get checked into our "getting ready room" and then head out for dinner and to meet up with our other halves, and then head back to our awesome 2 bedroom villa to chill out (and hopefully get a few hours of sleep!).

Now I just need to decide whether we're getting our manicure/pedicures at Swan/Dolphin or at the spa at BC.

I decided to get all crafty and make tank-tops for myself, my MOH, and Adrian's Bestie. Well not "make them" - but doctor them up a bit.

So today I ordered (from seller PeaceLoveRhinestones) 3 sets of rhinestone iron-ons to make us some awesome tank-tops for the day before the wedding.

I got the following:
-Disney Bride
-Bestie
-Maid of Honor
-Happily Ever After (for the back of my shirt)
-A Minnie Mouse with Tiara outline for the front of each shirt

I'm excited - the seller was very good to communicate back and forth with - answered all of my emails very promptly, gave me suggestions and sent me pictures when I asked, etc. She made my first ever Etsy purchase easy!

I'll take pics when I get them done!

 

[Eviey]

Can't wait to see the pictures! I love Etsy. I am always finding great items there!

 

[Disney9.9.10]

I would love to see pictures and hear how you liked the whole process with the seller. I have been looking into doing something similar, so it would be nice to hear your experience!

 

[daisygirl902]

I got in contact with Carolyn Allen's to change my dress steaming, where we're having the MK shoot the day of the wedding they need to do my steaming the day before now. So that's booked for 10 AM, and then I'm somehow going to have to transport my dress from BWV to BC...haven't figured that one out yet...

I also booked our spa treatments today for the day before the wedding!

We're booked at Mandara Spa at Dolphin (Periwigs can only do 2 people at a time). I'm getting a Balinese Massage with salt glow scrub st noon, and then the 6 of us go for manicures and pedicures for the afternoon.

So exciting - I'm only 2 months away now, holy time flies!

 

[amyy]

spa treatments-how fun!! The planning is so much fun that the time does fly.

 

[daisygirl902]

WOW - I'm exactly 2 months away right now....holy time flies!

Floral Update
I emailed Laura yesterday about adding on some floral to the ceremony location and the DP - basically just looking for ideas. I've seen a couple of pics (I can't remembers whose now) with ribbons around the railings at SBP which I loved...also I had originally said "no decor at the DP" - but am reconsidering that now...so I want to get a feel for what she thinks. The UK comes with the existing wrought iron tables, so not sure what I would do for decor....hopefully she comes up with a few suggestions that will work with my budget.


Random Pixie Dust!
Sometimes magic and pixie dust just happens....which did for me this weekend. I was looking at a fellow Dis Bride's pics and loved her earrings...sent her a message to tell her that. Once I found them online they were out of my current budget (I guess it's not necessarily budget i was worried about - but the fact that I don't wear fancy earrings often I'd likely only wear them once).

So I was sitting home bummed out on the weekend, and lo and behold she sent me a PM offering to lend them to me! Such a sweet surprise - I was totally floored...I'm not putting her name here as I didn't ask her if she was OK with me telling this story, but - you know who you are....THANKS! This has been a very stressful week in many other ways, and that was literally the bright spot in my whole week. I really didn't like the earrings I had purchased, and was looking for a new pair, so it worked out really well!

 

[2BoysMom]

Cool, cool, cool. I love the Pixie Dust coming your way.
1. Great idea having your mom and sis's with you the night before. It will make for wonderful memories.
2. I'm sitting waiting for pictures of rhinestone-y shirts.... Can't wait to see. Another good idea.
3. I REALLY have a feeling you will be back at BWV, just a "head's up."
4. And now this latest gift of the "borrowed" earrings.

I am very happy everything is going so well.

PeaceLoveRhinestones saved me on Etsy, I had that mishap with the other seller and she said she wouldn't be able to get me the transfers in time so I found PeaceLoveRhinestone's store and convo'd her and now I will have transfers in time for the wedding!!

 

[Disney9.9.10]

It is nice to hear that things are falling into place for you!! September is coming so fast!

I loved dealing with PeaceLoveRhinestones as a seller - I don't have the transfers yet as it's only been a week, but she was very responsive - like within minutes every time I had a question. Glad to hear you have been saved

I would love to see the Happily ever after transfer!!

Just wanted to stop in and say I've been enjoying you PJ. It's nice to see I'm not the only one who keeps changing everything! I look forward to reading more, and to see how those shirts come out.

 

[redlight]

Hi Kelly! I just found your journal. Congratulations!

I felt for a while like the changes would never stop...but I finally have everything at a state where I am happy with it - it's crazy because I really wasn't sure I'd ever get to this point...

Although I AM considering adding on a bit more floral/decor but haven't made a final decision yet...

I'll post pics of the finished tanks as soon as I get them done! I just scored the best deal ever on hot pink tanks today for the project - $6 each - WOOT!

Hi Kelly! I just found your journal. Congratulations!

Thanks for reading, and for the congrats!

Tiny Floral additions made today:

SBP
I added on pink or orange or a combo (I'm leaving it for Laura to decide) ribbons around both sides of the railing, with a small cluster of yellow, hot pink, and orange Gerber daisies at each end to match the ones at the front.

Dessert Party
I caved and had to order a tiny bit of decor...even though I may be the only one who notices it, I WILL notice, I can guarantee. So we're doing the tall gel cylinders in hot pink and orange, with mickey confetti suspended in them with LED lights, each with a single Gerber daisy on top in either pink or orange.

I know it's a small change, but it's crazy how much I like the changes. they were both small things which I kept tossing around, and I'm still under budget so it's pretty awesome. I cannot wait to see it all in person after seeing it in my head for so long!

Wow, that sounds awesome! I love the gel cylinders with the lights! I think they look amazing and make a huge difference (at least from what I've seen on the boards!), I'm sure a lot of people will notice them! As soon as I saw a picture of those, I thought that was the coolest thing ever! Oh, and as you can see, I get really excited about wedding planning, and I tend to use a lot of exclamation marks!!!
