Lisa and Geoff's Castaway Cay DCL Dream Wedding PJ&TR 11-12-11

[JBeanBunny]

I just read thru your whole PJ (I'll admit it, my mom's the DIS veteran- she e-mails me all the links of threads I should check out!) and I am SO excited for you!!! It's so cool to see how far you've come in this past year! I'm just hoping that since YOUR past year has flown by, that mine will too! We're sailing on 09/13/12 on the Dream! I love all of your favors (So jealous of everything Dolly helped you with- the logo is FANTASTIC!) and I look forward to DIY-ing everything for mine, and you've given me so many fantastic ideas! I can't wait to hear more from you! Best wishes!

Princess Ariel- Thank you so much for reading and for all of the compliments!

ccbride- Yes, we did have a really good time! I am sure you all had fun even without golf carts... We would have been iffy on a bus ride, too!! Chip and Dale dancers...LOL!! Thanks for reading!

JBeanBunny- Thank you so much for reading! I am glad your mom found me! I hope you will do a PJ so I can follow along with you. It is a lot of fun following people and you can take bits and pieces of all the things you like and make a wedding that is PERFECT for you!!

Today at school, my wonderful staff gave me a surprise shower! I had gone to a meeting this morning with my Assistant Principal and got back to school just in time for rainy day dismissal. Luckily, it wasn't pouring but just an annoying spitty rain. After dismissal was over, my tech guy called me into the media center (library) and told me there was some questionable information on one of our servers. I thought, Man! I don't need this today!

When I walked into the media center, everyone on staff was sitting in there waiting for me to come in. I was completely surprised! They immediately put a pink feather boa and a crown (made by someone on Etsy) on me and sat me in a rocking chair in the front of the room. Here is a picture of me with my crown and boa.

There was a lot of food and a beautiful cake that was so fresh and yummy!

Near the end of the shower, they made me take a picture with the knight in shining armor. Now, our school mascot is not a knight. There was an art teacher at the school when it opened 20 years ago and he had it in his room. The kids loved it so when he retired he left it at the school. The staff that was there when he retired took it and put it in the media center. So, now he just stands there and gets decorated for each holiday!

I was completely overwhelmed with the amount of thought that went into all of the planning and execution of the shower without me knowing AND especially by the generosity of the staff. We got lots of gift cards to Bed, Bath and Beyond, Williams-Sonoma, Cheesecake Factory, and DISNEY! I have the best faculty and staff!! Geoff and I will have a great time shopping!

Hi, Lisa!

Can you believe it's November?! And that the wedding is NEXT WEEK?!

I hope these last couple of days treat you well. I'm very excited to see pictures from your cruise wedding!

OK, totally freaked out but the NEXT WEEK comment...in my mind 9 days is far away!! I hope these last days are good to you as well! Looks like we will both be saying I do on the same day. (of course, I will say I do on the 10th and the 12th!) Don't worry, I will post lots of pictures in my TR. I have a photographer going with me!!

 

[Ash8716]

Yay can't believe you are so close! Enjoy every minute

Lisa, are you doing a family dinner after your wedding? We're trying to decide whether to do ours in the Royal Palace or Enchanted Garden. Let me know which one's nicer!! Can't wait to see your pictures! Congrats!!!

All 59 of us will be having dinner in the same restaurant each night. I wasn't really too concerned as to which restaurant we were in on our wedding night. I will definitely let you know which one I think is the best though! I will do a trip report when I get back.

 

[PixieDust1969]

Yay can't believe you are so close! Enjoy every minute

Thank you so much Ashley!!

Just found your thread.. I just have to say WOW!

I love your invitations, door magnets, personalized dress hanger.... just everything! I have always dreamed of a Disney wedding, but after finding the disney cruise brides thread, I want a Castaway Cay wedding! It's obvious that you are very organized (have to be with your job!) Everything has come together fabulously and you did a great job planning! I am taking some of your ideas (fish extender, door magnets) and will keep dreaming of my wedding. Have the boyfriend - 9 months together :} Just gotta wait for when things are right! Congratulations and can't wait to see your wedding photos!

Hope to see you on board! Can't wait!

I cannot wait either! Woo Hoo!!!

For my ring bearer and flower girl, I got them a Cars squeeze bottle and a princess squeeze bottle and shirts. They are also getting baseball caps that say RB and FG on them. I think they will like them. Madison is also getting a little Mickey necklace. Here are the shirts...

They will look so cute!

I have been also checking the weather like a crazy person. Now, we are 8 days from Castaway Cay so this may change but I would be very happy if it stayed like this...

Please God, keep this forecast for next Saturday!!
