Lillian & Dennis's Vow Renewal 4/15/12...PRO PICS 8.10.12

[LWatson]

Cake Topper arrived today...which was great because today is 100 days out!!!!

Here is the redone cake serving set

And since I'm getting simple white roses I figured I would add some splash of color by making flower crystals to add when I get my hands on the flowers.

Those were a PITA though because my glue wouldnt dry.

 

[librarygeek]

Your cake topper is great! I love how original it is. The cake serving set looks like it will match perfectly. And I agree that a splash of color will be really nice with your flowers! Congrats on being 100 days out, it will go pretty quickly now!

 

[NoOrdinaryPrincess]

Nice! I love the topper!

 

[LWatson]

I think this is the song I want to play when we kiss. Have it come in at the 2:11mark. LOL. I get all smiles when I hear it.

 

[Sizzle]

What a perfect song! I don't listen to country very often so I'd never heard it, but it is absolutely pefect! I love that It is romantic and still upbeat. It will be a great choice

 

[librarygeek]

Love that song! I hear it on the radio all the time

 

[LWatson]

Under 3months to go!!!! 89 days!!!!

My shoes shipped today and I'm super excited to see them when they get here. I also ordered some handmade jewelry off etsy. She was super excited when I told her they were for our Vow renewal.

 

[MrsDrewsky]

Hooray for double digits. I need to get all caught up on you plans, but what I have seen so far looks so lovely.

 

[Cierese]

Don't know why, but it finally hit me I should check this board to see if I could spy on your VR plans/details. I'm glad I found ya! I'm so excited for you guys! Everything looks great so far!!

 

[Scrappy_Tink]

OH YOU ARE STALKING ME???? LOL. Girl wth I didnt know you were on here and I sure didnt know you were going to FW. I thought you all werent going to till 2013.

 

[LWatson]

Okay, so I have decided to give in to using my kids' computer after mine crashed to try to update this. I hate it because its a POS (and that's why they have it).

Shoes and earrings arrived a couple days ago....OMG SOOOOO PRETTY!!!! And they match perfectly to each other and everything else. And of course when I got the shoes I HAD to try them on w/ the dress (LOL). It was the first time one of my boys has seen me in it and he went "OH mommy you are a princess". LOL. I Hope so!!!

I talked to DH (woohoo who will be home in less than a month!!!!) about music again. We are always changing our minds. LOL. Well, we are thinking that we want to go w/ a Harpist (if the tax return is nice enough we can pay bills and afford her too). I'm thinking since we are considering that now (which would be heck of a lot easier on me) we might go w/ more traditional DISNEY music, but I'm also loving some of the music from Twilight. LOL. I'm a huge dork. But, he told me that we could use the Harpist if either A) the tax return was really nice, or B) I earned the money for her from selling Pure Romance. So, I'm going to pray the tax return is good, and WORK MY BUTT OFF at selling some PR. LOL. It's valentine's day ... should sell decent around this time. Besides I'm only $350 away from my goal for the month. I can do it!!!

Speaking of PR. I've decided that my goal next month is to make enough to pay off the trip, and for March to make enough to pay off my VR. I can do it, but I will have to remind myself to PUT THE MONEY IN SAVINGS...LOL. I have a tendency to spend it as soon as I get it. Need to be money smart. But, yeah that will be my goal to feel like I put something toward this trip (I already have the money set aside for the rest of the trip, but I want to feel like I am paying for a good part of it too not just D.) My goal for April b4 we leave is to make enough to get D something delivered to the room by DisneyFlorist (pirate beer set maybe). LOL. I know I can do it, but I had to set my goals or else I wouldnt follow through on them.

Well, I called them on Jan 1st and there was space available and I had the money just laying around on a Disney GC from last trip so I put a deposit down and booked the whole week! We will see what happens, I'm just glad I have the option to change dates as needed and it will be interesting to see how things in my life change between now and then if you catch my drift!! We just want to go for halloween and F&W

Of course you look like a princess. Don't know which sweet boy said that but you know if he said it, Dennis will think so, too! You are a beautiful princess to him and the love of his life no matter what!!

 

[librarygeek]

That comment from your son is so sweet I'm sure you absolutely will look like a princess on your big day! Also, good luck with your money saving! I think having a harpist will be really worth it - we had one for our ceremony, and it was just beautiful. We got tons of compliments about the music.

 

[LWatson]

Well, you know I will support you in all those "life changes". I loved hearing how happy you were the other day.

Well, we hired a Harpist. Catherine Way is who we are using for the ceremony. And, we have narrowed down our music. Nothing like we had originally planned...LOL

MIL:Kiss The Girl (its fun and upbeat)
D & Boys: Second Star To The Right (Kids chose it)
Me: A Dream Is A Wish
Sand Ceremony: Beauty and the Beast
Recessional: When You Wish Upon A Star

 

[Disney25th]

My wife & I renewed our vows in Sept 2009 & I had a surprise for her everyday, like a boat ride, carriage ride, flowers to the room.....our friends from Chicago came in & she knew nothing of this.
We look back everyday at the pictures & SMILE......Glad we did it.

My point is get as many pics as you can & you should pre order the Photopass cd for only 99.00 so that way you can take as many pics "during" the trip it will just add to it!

If I know gow to upload pics here I would show you some. lol

Good luck,

Bruce & Bonnie
We will be watching the reast of your planning!~

Thanks everyone for the support so far.

Today I got great news.....HUBBY IS RETURNING FROM AFG NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!! We knew it was coming, we had an idea, but now we have a date and time. I'm thrilled. I know he was just home for R&R in Dec, but still. ITS OVER...this deployment will be done in a few days!!! #5 can KMB!!!!!

Sad news we got yesterday is our big family trip is now a middle sized family trip. We lost my Sister and Nephew because his school said they will claim truancy or something if he goes (because he was sick so much this year). SO, they are having to stay behind. BUT, my MIL & FIL are still going.

A friend of ours is also going at the same time and said that she could make it to the ceremony so YAY!!! OMG i'm so excited to be so close to Dennis and closing in on Disney. 66 days till our VR....64 till we leave for Disney!!!!
