Thanks guys! Yah I may have picked it cause it makes my waist look tiny. I went to my 2nd fitting today and it looks even better without the huge top section. I go back on the 22nd to check the hem and discuss the bustle... woo hoo!!! Thanks for all the love!!!
Woo! Productive day...
I finalized my estimated event form and faxed it in to my Coordinator, Kathleen. So everything's set there, and I can't wait for it to be put into action! Also I just got done gluing about 237489230 little circles of ribbon (while drinking wine and watching Ghost Adventures with the DF) for my ribbon poms. (Thank you sw33t_angel for the inspiration to do the damn things!) I also cut my dog's hair and did some damage at Lowe's, but that has nothing to do with the wedding. And it's *almost* time to send away for my FL marriage license... yee haw!
I usually cruise around the boards butt-early in the morning because my puppy wakes me up at like 6:30 (whether I'm working or not), so no, the thought never occurred to me. Even though I personally sent you the link. Maybe I need to start up on that coffee habit again!
P.S. Did you know they bleep out inappropriate words (hence the "butt-early" above)? Disney's trying to change my potty-mouth ways!
Since I faxed it off to Kathleen the other day, I figured I may as well share it with you. I usually start hyperventilating when spending a LARGE sum of cash like this... but it's Disney, you know it'll be worth it! Also pictures are important to me, and video to Jason, so we decided to upgrade and get both. As you can also see, I'm not a flower girl, and I did the bridesmaids' bouquets myself, so I spent a whopping $91 bucks on that.

Of course this doesn't include our hotel stay, officiant, hair/makeup, or dress steaming. But it's honestly a TON less then I would end up spending here at the beach, and a LOT less stressful! I'm excited! Is it time to leave yet?
I started on my ceremony programs last night. I still don't have the exact order of how everything's going down (I emailed Rev. Tim last night to discuss some stuff), but this is a rough draft.
If I were to show this to Jason he wouldn't give me any critique, that's why I'm posting it here! Thanks for the help DisBrides!
