Kristen & Doug's Wedding: 5.5.12 - TR Day 3 (Updated 6.14)

[yourgypsy]

Awww, your new engagement ring is purty! Congratulations, and I am glad this one doesn't hurt your fingers.

I am still in love with your doggie.

And WHAT THE HECK, RHINESTONE TRANSFER LADY!!!! This is seriously ridiculous. Who did you use again so I can make sure I don't order from them???

I forgot to comment but YAY! on FMIL giving you monies.

Thanks, Jackie!

I used TheZBoutique. And STILL no email back from her. I'm kinda looking forward to Monday and getting my crankypants on!

I ordered another (and larger) 'bride' one from Rhinestone Wishes on Monday and guess what came in the mail TODAY? Man, I love efficient sellers!

It's gorgeous!!! LOVE it!

Thanks! Me, too!

Your ring is beautiful! And have I mentioned that Penny is super cutie? I have boxers and they are my absolute fave

Thanks! And I'll tell Penny that, too. She loves hearing how cute she is

Your ring is stunning hun!! xx

Thank you! I'm quite taken with it myself

How did I miss this comment before? Thanks, twin! Every time I hear the phrase 'foiled me', I can't help but think of Scooby Doo

53 days now!

Love the new ring!

Thanks, Deena! Me, too!

Two super exciting things in the past day and a half!

My dress is done being altered! After the very scary moment of not being able to zipper it myself scared1 (I didn't eat THAT much pizza!), it fits wonderfully and I feel, to quote Jackie, like a "pretty pretty princess". I wish I could wear it all the time! I wanted to bring my camera, but my mom is completely technologically challenged. We're going to have to do some serious digital camera 101 before leaving for Disney... in 49 days!!!!

My other news - which still literally has me dancing around the room (I only crashed into the desk once, I swear!) - inspired by my lovely wedding twin (Hi Tricia! ), I decided to check into the availability of the Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party. Because, dammit, I wanted a dessert party. Genius struck me while I was messaging Doug - I had decided that Friday, the day we arrive, would be about spending the day at the parks with my parents, since that'll be the only real day that I get to do that. It's been something I've been wanting since I was 5. So it's super important to me. It's been a while since I've worked the "please, Daddy" angle, so I knew there was a good chance. Plus, I added the "I want to do something special for Mom, since it's her first trip, and you know how she loves fireworks and desserts. It'll be a great surprise." (I think that was the part that won him over, really.)

Thus, I have my dessert party. It'll be me, Doug, my parents, my aunt, and uncle.

I'm SO excited!

I'm a little bit worried, of course, about my health. I get tired pretty easy due to the fibro. And that Friday's going to be a LONG day. This past week has been tough, between getting home super late last Friday (we had to take Doug's brother to a concert up in Worcester and didn't get home till 3am), changing the clocks, and not sleeping well again. I meet the new primary doctor next Friday, so I'm hoping for some sort... I don't know. Relief? Miracle? I know adrenaline and excitement will get me through Disney (and I do have narcotics for nighttime!) and the wedding, but I do worry about the pain levels.

Okay, enough negative talk. I want to go back to my happy dance mind set.

Dessert party! Fireworks! 50 days until the wedding!

 

[DisneyBrideCKB]

I'm so sorry you're feeling bad! That's never fun, but I know it will work out and be the most wonderful time you ever had!

Congrats on the dress!! That is such a great feeling. I love that you're going to do a surprise dessert party for your mom! What an AWESOME idea! She'll love it! I can't wait to read about that and see your pics in your TR!

50 days!!! I'll be here before you know it and you won't even have time to think about how tired you are! It'll all go smoothly! Not to worry!

 

[Sizzle]

I've gotten behind!! But that also provided me with some needed distractions at work today...who wants to work on a Friday when I could read DIS PJ's

I am SO glad my bra recommendation worked for you!! I don't blame you for not doing the fitting. Had my fitter girl not been so spectacular, I wouldn't have done it either. But the bra's are so great on their own, I'm sure it's right for you. Yay for ****y support!

I think you've since got the rhinestone crap sorted out...right? Thats really frustrating. Might want to scrap your deal with her and get someone else going...

Your ring is BEAUTIFUL!! It really looks perfect on you and is so unique!

Glad the dress fitting went well! I'm already wondering how I can wear my dress longer, I love mine too!

 

[Sizzle]

Oh yeah and super stoked for your Dessert Party!! I've been so excited since we added ours at Sago Cay. I knew I would regret not having something similar. Now Tricia needs to inspire me for something too....I'm thinking a new watch!

I'm vibing you good energy. I bet you're going to be so pumped up on energy you won't notice how long the day has been

 

[tric8783]

Hellooooooooooo twin!!

50 days.... 50 DAYS!!

Yay for your dress being DONE! My shoes should be here tomorrow so I can start my fittings next week... yes you heard me correctly, START. lol

I'm so excited about the DP too!!! Especially since I lost to Josh and took mine away One of my bridesmaids, Marinella's, birthday is on Sunday 5/6. Her husband, Jason, is one of Josh's best men. So we're going to take Jason & Marinella to the DP on Sunday (what a great day since its EMH that night!) I'm really looking forward to it and hope they really like it!! I swear I have checked over 20 times and it always says unavailable. Pure FATE today for me to ask, Jackie to respond, and let it be available!!!

Hopefully in the next 50 days, your body will adjust to the time change and you'll be in better shape! AND maybe your new doc will have a miracle! Maybe when you get in Friday, hang around and don't do too much- take it easy and rest, then go into the park early, like 4pm or 5pm, ride the rides during prime dinner time while most people are eating and then enjoy the DP! Don't try to do too much and miss it now that we finally got it!!

my wedding twin!

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

YAAAAY! I am so glad you feel like a Triple P. (I have just coined that nickname for Pretty Pretty Princess. I think it may catch on.) I can't wait to see pictures of you IN your wedding dress in 50 days!

I'm really glad you got into the Dessert Party too. I really want to go to that, but it just doesn't work with our May schedule, and I don't think it will work with our December schedule either. So I will live vicariously through you and your wedding twinnie!

Also, I hope your health takes an upturn. Hopefully the new doctor will be able to help!

Adrenaline and excitement got me through last time, so I'm counting on that. And pacing ourselves a bit better this time.

Hopefully my dad can keep it a secret! He's not very good at that when it comes to my mom. Which is probably why they've been married for forty years. That and his advice for every guy: "Always get the last words in every argument: they're always 'yes, dear'".

I've gotten behind!! But that also provided me with some needed distractions at work today...who wants to work on a Friday when I could read DIS PJ's

Yay! Glad I could be of assistance!

I did wind up ordering from another seller, Rhinestone Wishes. I ordered on a Monday and the transfer was here on the Friday. I STILL haven't heard back from the original seller since I emailed her 12 days ago asking about returning the one she did wrong and wanting my refund. I noticed she has a bit of negative feedback piling up, too. I'll be emailing Etsy on Monday (since that'll make two weeks with no response from the seller) because that's just not how you run a business! If she wrote back saying, hey, there's family or health issues, I'd be totally understanding, but to have no communication whatsoever? Nope, not acceptable!

Do you remember the episode of 'Friends' where Monica, Phoebe, and Rachael were just sitting on the couch, all wearing wedding dresses? I'm convinced that one day, when we have our own place, Doug's gonna come home from work and will find me sitting in front of the computer in my dress. Just because I'll want to feel fancy.

my wedding twin!

I was really surprised when the seamstress wasn't at all freaked out by the time frame. I was expecting at least a few weeks, not two! A friend of my MoH was getting on me last month about it, saying how I'll never have it done in time, etc. A big pfft to her!

Super excited about the DP as well and forever grateful that you mentioned it yesterday! I even passed the info along to Doug's brother. I figure it'd be something nice he could do with his gf. They don't get a lot of alone time living at his parents' house, (When Sarah first moved up here from GA, Doug's mom had both of them sign 'purity contracts' and made them promise to take any temptations and desires to God and not act out on them. ) so hopefully he was able to get two for the week that they're there. At least it's something that's nice and not super duper expensive.

Hopefully I can nap on the plane, since we'll be up early. And if I can relax and take it easy the week or so before we go, that'll help, too. Where's the finger-crossing smiley?!

YAAAAY! I am so glad you feel like a Triple P. (I have just coined that nickname for Pretty Pretty Princess. I think it may catch on.) I can't wait to see pictures of you IN your wedding dress in 50 days!

Triple P is a whole lot easier to type. Though for those not cool enough to be in the know, we'll have to say it fully at least once so they don't think we're crazy.

Doug has a new camera, so he'll definitely be taking lots and lots of pictures. I'll have mine as well, but his is much fancier. I'll take pics of food, he'll take the fireworks shots.

And I really hope so, too! This constant exhaustion is getting really old!

I'm dying here....poor Brandon....

"hahaha oh man, so funny! Hey honey! So there's this other Bride on the DISBoards, she just said the funniest thing! Hahaha!"

"...oh yeah? That's cool...."

"I know! I love these girls! Let me read this to you. Actually, I should really catch you up on a bunch of these PJs so you know who is who."

"......."

"ok,sorry. I know you don't care about other girls weddings as much as I do"

 

[jlocmac]

As everyone knows, I suck at commenting... but I'm def reading along!!! I can't believe it's so close to your wedding!!!!!! (and my bday trip) Still totally going to try to sneak over and see what's going on!! Hopefully I won't look like a lurker. That's if I can convince Charley to go. He doesn't want to invade!

That sounds an awful lot like some conversations that I've had with Doug! I can't even tell you how many times it's been the "oh, look, you've gotta see this picture!" "That's nice." *he turns back around* (our desks are on opposite walls) Then five minutes later, "Oh, look at this one!"

It's a good thing they love us!

It's okay, I fall behind ALL the time. Or I read and then I think that I commented and then realize later on that I didn't.

You totally should sneak over! And tell Charley it'll make me feel like I'm super cool or something, having people want to see my wedding!

 

[mebbradley]

I'm so glad the seller I gave you came through so quickly!!

 

[Icecoldpenguin]

wow I really fell behind but I am all caught up now. I really want to be able to book tomorrow land terrace during our honeymoon. I don't know when to check to try and get it for the July timeframe.

I am glad things are coming together for you

It is so close!
