Hi Linds
Love the ring!

Andrea was going to have her engagement ring dipped in platiunm but found it can just rub off and it was expensive. She s is waiting till gold/plat prices drop and will have her ring reset

I have also volenteered my husband and Tom and the rest of the SI gang to put the runner down. He can unroll things is a fairly straight manner. And we will threaten to sic Caryn on him if he messes up This way if you need groomsmen for pictures or something else important they can be free

(Caryn glad you hear you are weathered the storm and got a new car from it)

To continue your online buying curse, I went to buy the dress froma woman on craigslist, and the check got returned to me. I called her and I had inverted her street number and the check is re on its way.




31 days till I am in Disney!

Really? I didn't know Andrea looked at that. I've decided that if need be I'll just upgrade my ring in a few years!! (Such a sacrifice, I know) I think the runner might be a great job for Tom. I trust him! Stupid online shopping... glad to know your dress is coming!! Caryn found hers online too

Hi,













Hi, Lindsay

I just wanted to say a heartfelt "thank you" to you and Chris for not setting your wedding date during hurricane season! I'm sure Caryn has told you how much fun we've had with Ike. She was such a good sport when we showed up on her doorstep, along with our 3 cats. What a great daughter-in-law I have! But several local brides wound up having all sorts of problems with their weddings right after Ike: no electric, no hotel rooms, no hotel period!

Also by having your wedding on Mark's birthday, we'll save the cost of a cake - he can just light his candles on your wedding cake instead. It will be lovely . . .

Can't wait for your big day. The ring is just beautiful.

Hi Niki!! Yes Caryn did mention how much fun you all had with Ike...

Well I can FINALLY make a picture update. No, I didn't find the cord to the camera yet... must get on that.... I bought these gloves on ebay today. I'm not sure if I'm going to wear them. Chris asked me several times if I would be wearing gloves so I guess he wants me to....

The bridesmaids have all (I think) purchased their dresses. We had a few good ebay/craigslist finds with them.

My parents are coming to visit this weekend and we'll be scouting locations and looking at menus. Mom and I will also be stopping at David's Bridal for a fitting. My dress fit, but I can't breathe. So I want to make sure that they can let out a seam... if not, I am going to re-order it in a different size. I want to make sure that we have enough time to do that.

 

[caryndisneydiva]

lindsay, those are the exact gloves that i wore! mine were white though...

 

[Lindsay22]

Really??? I thought they were different.

 

[caryndisneydiva]

no, exact same ones!

 

[DisneyBrideToni]

I love those gloves!!!! That is so funny your sister had the same ones. I guess you both have excellent taste!

 

[keenercam]

Oh, pretty gloves! Yay for the fun stuff you'll do this weekend with the 'rents!

 

[caryndisneydiva]

i found this and immediately thought of your wedding. it goes with the theme perfectly (except the polka dots, which are still a nice touch). i LOVE it... HINT HINT HINT!

 

[29apr00]

Nice gloves!! Getting closer now!!

 

[IndyBride]

The gloves look great! I love the long gloves. Maybe I should get some just in case... I can't believe how fast time is ticking away!!!! It's insanity!!

 

[keenercam]

Lindsay -- Did you have fun this weekend? Any more decisions? Pics? (Hint, hint!)

Caryn -- LOVE that bouquet. How unique and gorgeous!

Lindsay -- How is your half marathon training going?

 

[Donald'sGirl]

Lindsay the gloves are fantastic! Great buy!

 

[Lindsay22]

Hi girls!!!
Caryn, I don't like that. I think it's the feathers... they distract me. I also don't like the polka dots.
No Cam, I'm sorry to report that I STILL can't find the cord to the camera so I cant post pics....

But I'll do a mini TR from my weekend with my parents. (Again, I apologize for the lack of pics)
Friday night: My parents flight was delayed so I stayed longer at work than I needed to I met them at the airport and drove home to our new house. My parents had never seen our house, so we were happy to show it to them. (I think they liked it)

Chris was making dinner while we got there (Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Brocolli, and I think Corn) so I gave Mom and Dad the tour. Cordelia decided to be social so she came down to Meow at her Grandparents. We had a lovely dinner and then went to bed because we had a busy day planned the next day.

Saturday- We left the house at about 8am to get to our 9:30am breakfast reservation at the Grand Floridian Cafe. Mom and Dad are planning to host some sort of breakfast the morning of the wedding and I thought that would be a good place and we wanted to check it out. All four of us really like it and we spoke to the manager and the chef and Mom and Dad are going to set that up.

After that we walked around the lobby and over to the WP, which my parents really liked as well. Dad seems to be getting excited about the wedding .

After we strolled around WP we drove over to Coronado so that my parents could see it (it's the Mod on my room block) They were shown a suite, which is what they are going to book for the wedding (I think)

Then we went to Downtown Disney and strolled the shops and had some icecream. Then we went home and took a nap! We also discussed menus and prices and all that fun stuff.

After naptime, we went to Home Depot to register. I have to tell you that I was a little disapointed in their registry services. 1.) You don't get a scanner. 2.) You had to write every SKU number down on a sheet of paper 3.) They don't have an online registry thing... But whatever, we registered. I'm actually pretty excited to get the stuff on this registry (a hammer, a saw, a drill.... all the 1-2-3 books)

Then we had dinner at Mellow Mushroom, our FAVORITE pizza place. (I told you, it was a busy day)

Sunday we didn't really have anything planned. Dad and Chris installed a ceiling fan in our bedroom and Mom and I went to David's Bridal.

You may remember that I got my dress shipped to me from NJ and when I tried it on, it zipped, but I couldn't breathe. (Which was theoretically problematic) So I made an appt at David's Bridal to make sure that they could let the seams out enough to fit me. If they couldn't, I was going to have to order my dress 1 size up. The lady told me that they had more than enough seam allowance and I would be fine! While I was there I ordered a BM dress for a wedding I am in this Feb.

Mom and Dad had an early flight Monday morning so I dropped them at the airport and came to work.

So, we got a lot accomplished which was good and Cordelia was excited to see her grandparents (apparently she decided to join them in the guest room one night! she's so friendly!)

 

[Lindsay22]

Oh, PS Cam!
My training is going great! I'm wogging outside now and I got one of those Garmin watches. I'm fairly sure I won't get swept!

I am so happy for you, Lindsay!! Oh, and I LOVE my Garmin! It and my shuffle are the two best toys I've ever owned.

Your weekend sounds wonderfully productive. So glad you don't have to re-order your dress.
