LURKYLOO's Wedding Trippie: Morocco/Attic/Lower UK: Wedding Album + Gown Preservation

[rottiemom]

regarding the MK photoshoot- at first, reading the recap, I thought that maybe because your wedding photos were so fantastic that the MK photoshoot ones looked lesser by comparison.

But after seeing the pictures, no. They look more like hokey snapshots than serious photographs. If they had been taken by a well meaning friend with a camera, fine. That's not the case & the fact that your restrained (and very apt) comments made here are being held against you is absurd! At any point were you chastised for all of the good press you've given the whole Disney World wedding experience? ("Stop writing such nice things and posting those great pictures...more people will want to get married here!"). I really hope that you can come to a satisfactory resolution.

And I can't believe you've got 50 pages worth of trip report here for me to read .

Loving the update! I was so hoping for HM in both parks I'll be cheering for you in september

Sorry about the MK shoot stuff, they better come up with a suitable resolution!

I'll definately be standing by, waiting on the home reception!

 

[irisbud]

Darn, too bad you couldn't do both HM (but not for lack of trying!) There is no way I would be so ambitious, so I am impressed that you even thought of it. There's always next time!

 

[WDWguru]

Awww! I was so hoping that you made it to both parks! I'm hoping to accomplish both parks within a week next year.

Oh take it from me, it CAN be done! I managed to get in every single Disney park in the WORLD in a 10 month period about a year ago!

Carrie - I can't wait to hear about the reception at home! Too bad you didn't get HM in but next time you'll remember that AP for sure.

That's so cool! I've only got 2 more years to get every single park within a decade. I may as well start from scratch though because I need to revisit Paris now. Disney Studios wasn't there when I went there in 2000.

 

[lurkyloo]

Great!! I'm sorry you didnt' get to do both HM in 1 day, but you could always try after free dining!!

That's the plan!

You are my bride heroine! You have designed my dream wedding! I think I may be drawing lots of inspiration from your wedding!

Draw away! My goal is to demystify the whole process and share the things that worked or didn't work for me to help future brides.

oh and BTW we didn't have to hear it from you to already know how inconsistent thier photography is.

Thanks, Lynn!

Can't wait to hear how the at-home reception went.

Here's a little teaser: it involved eight batches of chocolate frosting....

I've been reading for hours... and I am only on page 25. If I could keep my eyes open any longer I would finish. After hours of reading I feel like I know you... but I'd love to meet you when you come back in September!

That would be cool! It seems like a lot of DISers will be there then (although you get to be there all the time!)...maybe we should organize a meet?

Good point! Thanks for your support!

Oh I always love your updates! I can't wait to read more!!

Oh good! Thanks for hanging in there!

It's gotta happen. It would be SO cool! I'll have to post pictures here to prove I did it.

Will you adopt me?

Hi. Just read your trip report - good job. Sounds like you two had a great time. My honeymoon is at POFQ but wedding is at home.
It would be great to meet some people from the boards. We'll be there Sept
21 - 28 if anyone wants to meet up one of those days.
Your cake and desserts looked and sounded so good, can you send me some?
Oh and we have the same name, even same spelling!
Can't wait to read about the post reception!

 

[DisneyBrideToni]

I love reading your TR. You should write a book because I would buy it. I love your Scooby Doo reference! All the pics are great especially your sterotypical French pose... (no offense to the French out there)

I can't wait for the next installment!

 

[jennifaerie]

Carrie, everyone is coming to Disney the last week of September to meet YOU. Which means I must have set my wedding date around your trip. I better go change the date to two days earlier so I can actually be there the whole duration of your trip.

How special are you?!



Oh, and please be sure to PM your ressies, so I can make sure mine match!

At any rate, it might be dangerous for you to get a reshoot. I may try to jump behind you and pretend to be an ewok.

 

[DisBride2007]

I was kinda sniffling and DH worked really hard to cheer me up by telling me all the fun things we were going to do that day.

AWWWWW!!!

DH leaned over and whispered, “Thank you for all your planning - we have had the perfect trip.”

AWWWWWWW!!!

DH decided we should wish that the honeymoon will never end.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

Looking forward to the next installment!

 

[Chilly]

Caught up again. I can't believe your TR is nearly over. Looking forward to hearing about your at home reception. I'm sorry you are still having problems with the MK photoshoot photos.

 

[lurkyloo]

Oh and we have the same name, even same spelling!

Hey, cool! Glad you're enjoying the report!

I love your Scooby Doo reference!

Oh I'm so glad you got that - as I was typing I was thinking "Gee, this is going the long way around the barn for a gag...."

Carrie, everyone is coming to Disney the last week of September to meet YOU.

Well I hope they like eating, mugging for photos, and more eating, cuz that's what I plan to do!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

When I saw your post, I remembered how lucky I am to have DH... either that, or he sure is a smoooooth talker!

Caught up again. I can't believe your TR is nearly over.

Me neither Maybe I can make up some "lost" honeymoon adventures to tell about the way authors of book series do when their characters get too old!

Lurkyloo,

First off, let me say thanks again for providing us your BEO! It was really helpful and gave us some insight on how to, um, "finaggle" things around to keep costs low for our wedding.

Secondly, after two days of reading here at work, I finally made it through your entire report start to finish. It's fantastic! You guys had a beautiful wedding and it looks like a blast on the honeymoon. I hope our wedding will be as wonderful as yours; feel free to bless us with your expertise in our PJ as time goes on! Maybe you should start a separate Disney-Bride consulting side business.

Can't wait to hear about the at-home reception. Chocolate frosting....mmm....

 

[WDWguru]

Will you adopt me?

If you'll help plan my vow renewal in 11 years for my 25th!

 

[jennifaerie]

Carrie! I almost missed this installment! I noticed people talking about things I hadn't heard about yet and went and looked.

That would have been criminal!

Cat face! (That caused me to beam too. )
You two have to be the most photogenic people. Every time I see your smiling faces, I can't help but smile too (and I am the grumpiest person alive, darnit!).

And I know what you mean about cats. I'm always worried about what I'm going to find when I get home. The resentment isn't there. They're around you 24/7 for three or four days, and you're like, Wow! I should go away more often! And then it ends.

 

[Wazzo]

AWESOME pic!! Your kitty is so cute!


Here's mine to go with it:

(Okay, maybe not cute, but definitely silly!)

(Okay, maybe not cute, but definitely silly!)

SOOO Cute! I love Wazzo! But I have to make a confession... I swiped that cat pic from the Internets!!! Dr. J would never let me get that close to him with a camera. He knows the sound of it turning on, and he stays really cute till the last possible second, then messes up his pose when then shutter clicks

and you're like, Wow! I should go away more often! And then it ends.

Totally! I do notice that the longer I'm gone, the longer it lasts. He was nice to me for at least 2 days when we got back from being gone 2 weeks.

If you'll help plan my vow renewal in 11 years for my 25th!

Deal!

I'm so glad I was able to help out! Just keep asking questions around here - this place is an invaluable resource!

 

[WDWguru]

Totally OT question here, but since a few of you are from the LA area, I'll ask (I'm having no luck with my thread on the community board):

I'm going to a wedding in LA this weekend. My mom is flying in and meeting me there and we'll be on our own. We land about 9pm tonight and we'll be driving from the Burbank airport (Bob Hope) to the Sheraton Universal. It's only a few miles and I have a good sense of direction and am well-traveled. My only question is, every map program I look at tells me to take Cahuega rather than go around on the freeway. Is that a safe neighborhood to drive through at night? I'm not paranoid, just don't know the area. If it's cool, I'll follow the map. If you guys think that's a bad idea, we'll go around.

Sorry for the interruption!

 

[lurkyloo]

Follow that map!

The reason they don't put you on the freeway is that you can't get onto the 101 south from the 134 West, which is the way you'd be going. You'd have to keep going on the 134 til you could turn around and might accidentally end up in Ventura!

Cahuenga cuts through North Hollywood, which isn't the most glamourous part of town, but it's a straight shot from Bob Hope and it's not like you're going to be carjacked at a stoplight.

Happy travels!
