Lisa & Pete's DCL PJ & Trip Report - WEDDING VIDEO POSTED!!!

[keenercam]

OMG! Lisa, you are so absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! You looked so beautiful and so happy at your shower. It is obvious that your family and friends love you outrageously. Your shower looked absolutely wonderful! Love the favors and what a great idea for the umbrella! The cake was really pretty, too. I'm sorry your Mom isn't with you in person to share this happy time, but isn't it wonderful to know she's with you in spirit and watching over you? I'm sorry about your Grandmother's Alzheimer's, but I am sure she enjoyed every moment of the day, even if she might not remember it well later.

Can't wait to see pix of the jewelry.

you GLOW!!! I love your hair!!!

 

[GWNnewbies]

Wow, Lisa everything looks just perfect. You looked radiant (I loved your hair) the favours were very sweet and the umbrella was adorable. I'm glad everything went so well for you. Sorry about your grandmother's illness, it is a terrible one. It sounds like your mother was sending down her love to you though with the sunshine.

 

[MUDisneyCouple]

I am in COMPLETE awe of your shower! Your friends and family did a fantastic job...it sounds like (and by the pictures looks like) you had a blast! Loved the colors and the cake!!! Aren't showers humbling? I felt like that at my shower...sort of like, "do I deserve all this?" sort of thing. It's amazing how loved you are at times like this Thanks for sharing your day with all of us.

Thank you!

 

[the4princesses]

congrat's on your shower it was so pretty!!
I understand about your Gradmother, My Mom is only 69 and she has
dementia, it makes me cry all the time. I'm very sad watching my Mom
go through this. She once stated cooking and left the pot on the stove and
went back to bed. My sister woke to smell it. and ran to take the pot off the fire! she burns popcorn all the time . She can't remember where she lives.
I just don't know what to do. It's so very sad!

I'm so very happy for you!! You are going to be the prettist bride!!
I can't wait to see your pictures!!

We stayed at POP and I seen the bus come to pick the people up that was going on the Disney cruise! They looked so happy!!
We were at POP Sept. 1-10th We live in La. where the storm hit and we ran to WDW from it! We had roof damage.


Anyway I hope you have a wonderful time at your shower and can't wait to read and see more pictures!!
Have a wonderful night!!
Kathy

You ran from the storm! Good for you. You couldn't change anything if you stayed home and what better way to unwind then at WDW! I hope you have a wonderful time.

I plan on posting 100's of pictures so don't worry! LOL


Thank you all......I am so glad to have you all to share the Disney madness with!

 

[Goldeelox9]

That poem is so cute I love it!!!! Looks like you had a great shower!!!

Thanks Heather! It was so great!

 

[keenercam]

Lisa, the poem and candle idea is fabulous! How sweet of your friend to come up with that for you!

 

[MKEMSE12]

HI! I just joined in on the fun!!!! I have been lurking for a while and thought I would say that you are one lucky girl!!!!!! Your ring is absolutely FABULOUS! I want one and am very jealous. I just spent the entire day reading from page 1-37 and you are going to have so much fun at your wedding. Your shower was gorgeous!!!! Can't wait to see all the pics!!

 

[ClemsonGirl]

Lisa your shower looks like it was wonderful!!! Everything looked so great- the cake is sooo cute!!

 

[PixyDusted]

Oh my gosh! Everything looked WONDERFUL. Even the grass matched the event!!

I am so happy for you two. If I had planned ahead I would've sent a present to the shower...oh well, hindsight is 20/20. It'll be different when you're at WDW, for sure!!!

LOVE how the flower completed your outfit. And that umbrella was awesome! As was the cake, the gifts and the cupcakes.

I'm so so so so happy for you guys (I know I said that already but I had to say it again). You looked gorgeous and the both of you look adorable together.

And you look so thin!! Keep up the good work, girl!

 

[Risnsun]

You looked very very pretty....Your almost there!!!

 

[figmentfan814]

Your bridal shower looked amazing! I love all the decorations and the food. The Mickey cake was a great touch too. The umbrella was so pretty, I actually have never been to a shower that included an umbrella and now that I saw yours it seems like something that should always be included! It's great that you were able to spend time with all your bridal party together. Over half of our bridal party lives in a different state, so we didn't have that chance until we were all in Florida. You're getting so close!

 

[Goldeelox9]

Six short weeks from today I will be married. I am starting to freak out. I have tons of emails with Cathy, my planner yesterday. She told me that DCL will be reviewing my file by as early as Thursday and I should have all the final paper work by next week. That is exciting and scary all at the same time.

Yesterday I got the paper work for our marriage license. We must have it notarized and mailed back ASAP. Thank goodness I work in a Law Firm full of notaries.

I have made some changes to my original plans.

Cake:

We are having the bottom layer Chocolate Cake with Chocolate mouse filling and the top layer is going to be White Cake with Strawberry Mouse filling. We are also having the Chocolate and Vanilla Sauces a la Palo to go with the cake.

Flowers:

The flower drama is ready to push me over the edge. Originally I was going to have matching bouquets for the wedding and the Magic Kingdom/Epcot photo shoots. When I contacted Disney for prices I was told it would be $100 upgrade charge for the bouquet for the wedding and $350.00 for a matching one for the photo shoot! Um...last time I checked i was not rich so I had to pass on the extra one. I ordered a matching one from Vicki at Peddles. www.peddles.com She has been more then wonderful and I highly recomend her to any Florida bride. The cost including delivery through Peddles for the same flowers is $150 less! She is also giving me sparkles on the roses. I had wanted my bouquet to look like Lynn's. It was full and round. I had sent pictures of Lynn's bouquet to both Peddles and Disney as a guide.

So fast forward to yesterday. I sent an email to Cathy about the bouquet Holder, It was a faux stem holder to make sure it would be included and I was told that would be an extra $65! So that would make my floral bill be:

$100 - Upgrade Charge for extra roses and stephonotis
$65 - Bouquet Holder
$18 - White Lily (hair flower)
$18 - Hot Pink Lily (Hair Flower)
$35 - Corsage for Mother of the groom
________
$236 Total

Now this $236 does not include the $200 for the Magic Kingdom/Epcot Photos.

I was fuming! There is no way I was going to pay $65 for plastic Stems or $18 a piece for $4 lilies. No way, no how! So I cancled all additional floral through Disney. I changed my bouquet to the tropical bouquet changing out the Orange Roses for Hot Pink ones and the Burgandy Cala Lilies for White ones. I did still get the bouquet upgraded for a cost of $50! I didn't want it to look dwarfed since I am a plus size gal.

I contact Shirley at The Perfect Gift www.theperfectgift.cc She does deliveries to the ship and also came highly recomended from another DCL Bride (Hi Betsy ). Shirley is going to deliver to me the two lilies and the Mother of the Groom Corsage the day we set sail. Disney does charge her a $12.50 delivery fee which she charges to her customers. My total through The Perfect Gift is $54.50 including delivery. For the same three items through Disney it would have been $71.00. I did tell my planner how ridiculas I thought the pricing on the floral was when I cancled.

So do you guys think that it will look funny that I will have a tropical bouquet for the wedding on the islad and them a rose bouquet for the Magic Kingdom / Epcot pictures?

 

[shezfrombermuda]

Lisa your shower looked amazing! your friends and family did such a great job! I love the all the decorations, especially the umbrella and what a fabulous cake!

I don't think it will look funny at all to have a tropical bouquet and then a rose bouquet for your MK pictures. I think each bouquet is suited to its setting! My MK pictures are being done 9 days after my wedding so I would need two bouquets at $300 each so I was thinking about going with no flowers. I am going to check out www.peddles.com to see what they have.

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

$35 - Corsage for Mother of the groom
highly recomended from another DCL Bride (Hi Betsy ).

HI!!
I don't understand..is there a difference between a Corsage for the mother and a regular corsage? I ordered mine (for mom) thru Disney and it was $20

I love Shirley..she is so helpful with everything..I wonder if she remembered me (because my order was under Elizabeth and went to the Knebel's Suite)
