*~*Lizby's Fairy Tale Wedding PJ/TR*~* - Day Seven FINALLY

[Lizby]

I love your ideas. How much were the flowers you chose? We are having a mini breakdown about spending a crazy amount (we have 5 bridesmaids) so Im a bit worried!!

Our flowers are like practically nothing. I added seeded eucalyptus to my red rose bouquet, which Rosie originally said would be $25, but didn't wind up charging me for on our floral BEO. I am having 8 crystal hidden Mickeys (still thinking about cutting it back...) which come to $24. Also, we are having pink rose petals scattered on the aisle at SBP (I loved Lurkyloo's petals so much I just couldn't say no!!!) They are $65. So our floral grand total is $79!

My MOH's bouquet is silk. I bought the flowers for it at Michael's and it cost me under $25 to make!

So your bridal bouquet is only 79 bucks!!!?? That is so awesome! I was so afraid of it being over 300

We were thinking about getting fake flowers but by the time we get them, then ship them from NY to FLA we said the cost may end up being the same if we just went to the florist and got them done.

I really only wanted 7 roses for the girls in assorted pinks and same for me but I wanted 11 (vin and I's number) and then I wanted 5 white for the five years we've been together...

I hope hope hope that it works out

WOW, I am so excited! We are two months out from our wedding!!!!!!!!!!!! It has come up soooo fast. The months are just flying by, and I'm sure it will be here before we know it! It seems like we were just at nine months and now it is TWO MONTHS away! Wooohoooo!

As far as updates, I just faxed our "Request for Marriage License Info" form about ten minutes ago, which was super exciting! Here I am filling out the form:

I go for my second fitting and to pick my dress up from David's Bridal in about two weeks. (I have been without it for a month and a half already! I am going through dress withdrawl!!) MOH is supposed to be dropping her dress off somewhere for alterations, since she is doing a study abroad program starting this weekend and will return only two weeks before the wedding.

I still don't know what to do about the pocketwatch I bought for DF. I CANNOT find any store that will engrave it for me. Every place I take it acts like I am crazy and there is not a single place that it can be engraved. It is very disheartening. Now I need to decide whether it is more important to have it personalized or have it be a very unique Disney watch he would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. I have no clue what to do...

BUT, to end on a happy note...TWO MONTHS!!!!!!!!

Liz... I can not believe that I just now found your PJ. I absolutley love it. I am so sorry I have missed it throughout the past months. I am glad to say I am caught up now and anticipating more to come.

What drew me to enjoying your PJ so much is all the similarities between yours and my wedding. I am also getting married at Sea Breeze Point (June 17, 2008), I am using Randy Chapman as my photographer, DF and I are staying at Port Orleans French Quater, I bought my dress at David's Bridal, we will be at Disney for two weeks too, and I am a fourth grade teacher. Great minds think alike!

Congratulations and happy wishes with everything. The big day is getting so close! HURRAY!

Liz,

Very exciting that you only have 2 months to go! Yay!
Now about the watch...could have some place engrave something on a separate metal plate and then sauder (or attach it some other way) to the inside cover of the watch? Just an idea. Let me know what you wind up doing!

 

[lpizzuro123]

I remember your watch problems from a while ago but don't remember why it cannot be engraved. What does it look like and why can't it be engraved. I have a great jewler in NYC on 47th street. If you let me know what the problem with the watch is I can call him. I know an engraver where you can go right to him and he does the engraving in front of you and you do not have to send it out to get done. Let me know what the problem is and maybe one of them can help you.

I just found a picture of your pocketwatch. Any way of posting a picture of the inside? Maybe I can bring a picture of the inside to my jewler.

Jess:

Thank you for the kind words! Your wedding is even closer, so you must be SUPER excited!! I am glad to hear of another bride staying at POFQ. So many people have recommended Riverside lately that I was starting to get nervous that we made the wrong choice, but I think it will be fine.

That is so neat that there are so many similarities between our weddings! Great minds really DO think alike! What day do you leave to go home? We are arriving on July 2.

Thank you for your help & advice ladies! Here is what the watch looks like:

Sorry, they aren't the best pictures. Most jewelry stores have said they generally engrave the back (which is usually blank & flat), by making a template and then machine engraving it. They can't do that because Mickey is there.

I originally wanted the inside of the cover engraved, but they won't do that for a few reasons (supposedly).
1. It is curved, so they can't make the template and just stamp it on or whatever they do.
2. They said engraving there will mess up the swirl design background...
3. They also said that the engraving could show through on the other side and ruin the watch.

I thought perhaps it could be engraved on the silver band around the front of the watch (they engrave the inside of rings, so how hard could it be???) I am even willing to shorten the engraving to just 7/4/08, but they said it still can't be done. It could even fit on Mickey's arm or something, so I have no idea what the problem is. Maybe you all can help

So Im not the only one having a meltdown! You are one step ahead of me! We still didnt order the guys tuxes! My mom and DF moms still dont have anything to wear to the wedding yet! I will be there July 1st hopefully I'll see you there!

Our two week wedding event is up on Friday, June 27. We will be missing each other by only a few days. The best days of my life will be coming to an end as yours are beginning. No, my best days will only be beginning too, RIGHT!

We just got our license in the mail Monday! What a great thing that was, so glad to not have to go to the courthouse in orlando, more time for FUN!

The watch is so nice! Hope you find someone to engrave it!

 

[camara381]

love the watches they are so cute

 

[Keira1387]

Wow, under 2 months!!! You must be so excited!!!!

 

[OceanGdss]

How did I miss your PJ all this time???? I just spent an hour reading everything. I LOVE it!!! Its so awesome you made your MOH's bouquet from silk. I'm making ALL of our floral from silk, but luckily we're only about an hour from WDW, so we won't need to ship anything. Your dress is gorgeous and I'm definately stealing your idea of the mickey's on the veil!!! Best of luck with the pocket watch...I'm sure you'll figure something out. I'm still trying to figure out what to get DF for his gift. Oh...and I L-O-V-E the suspenders!!!!

Can't wait to hear the rest and see a TR in a few months!!! hehe

HOW EXCITING!!! It makes it feel so much more real! You are absolutely right about the fun part!

Thank you very much! I really like it too, and think it is special and unique. I just don't understand why everyone acts like it's a live rat or something when I hand it to them to ask about engraving...

Wow, under 2 months!!! You must be so excited!!!!

Oh I am!!! You are getting pretty close too!

Thank you for taking the time to read it! I love the silk flowers because they save money in the long run and they last forever. You are SO lucky to live so close to Mickey's house! Suspenders are DF's FAVORITE thing, so they just seemed natural when we were looking for jacket alternatives.

You will be writing a TR too before you know it!!!

Thank you very much!

Woohoo! Congrats & I know you are getting excited. We are right behind you!

I know!!! It felt like it would never be this close, and now it's right around the corner! I think we will still be in Disney when you have your VR. We might have to try to pass by.
