Okay... really going now!! Bye!

We still have an Ohana date??

30 DAYS....... ONE MONTH............UNTIL YOU GET MARRIED!!!!!

I hope your shower went well on Sunday!!

 

[chipmunkfan]

Just checking in to see how this past weekend went for you! I hope everything went alright. Can't wait to hear all the details.

I'm so glad you got your license! One huge worry off of your plate.

Hey, hopefully we will pass each other on the 13th. I'm at the Beach Club Villas and will be heading out to Luau Beach on 11/13 for a 3pm ceremony. So if you see two old people with a beautiful little girl who will be dressed in purple.........that's us heading out to get married!!!!

 

[LuvLuvLuv]

As for the registry, I found that people really didn't want to use the Disney one for the shower. I guess there's just that idea of a shower being the place to give all that kitchen stuff and whatnot. As a matter of fact, we really needed everything for the house and EVERYONE gave us kitchen stuff. So now we have a fully stocked kitchen with all sorts of things that aren't essential, but almost nothing else in the rest of the house! I think that's just tradition, and people like to stick to tradition... unfortunately for your situation

But I'm so sorry that it feels like people aren't going to come to your shower! You never know til it happens of course. But speaking of tradition I wonder if it's because people still don't understand/respect the idea of a destination wedding. Even though we all know it's totally okay to have a shower without the people that will be at the wedding (especially with the at home after party!), it's possible that people may feel slighted by being invited to the shower but not the wedding. Who knows. I found that lots of guests are totally clueless about proper wedding etiquette and what not

I dunno what it is, lol. I'm also in an entirely different tradition location than where I grew up--I think that has a lot to do with my expectations. Trust me... I'm glad none of these people aren't going to be at my wedding!

I'm sorry you are so stressed! And I'm a little late to the game, but I completely relate to the lazy fiancé who doesn't appreciate all the hard work I've been doing to save thing!

If you do end up with a bunch of gift cards, I think there are gift card exchanges where you could trade them for Disney gift cards.

You've done so much hard work!! More than me already!! I've already scoped out a few places--but luckily that didn't happen!

I agree with what the lovely ladies above me have said: But! if you *do* get target gift cards, target does sell disney gift cards (the ones that are good for WDW), so that won't be a big deal at all!

No one put anything on my disney registry for my shower--- but I did get some cash, and I put that in my piggy bank. (Yes, an actual piggy bank. )

I <3 piggy banks. We have a "Wedding Fund" bank, lol!!!

So I'm totally PMing you about meeting up and my offer still stands if you need me to do anything down here for you!

Oh, and I agree with the other girls. I had a honeymoon registry (it was for Carnival Cruises) and I only had one person buy a gift off of there for my two showers. The rest all came from the wedding and we got almost everything we wanted, so hopefully it'll work that way with you too!

Yay! I PMd you back!

Deena sweetie - Aww hang it there!! I am sure that your shower will be fabulous!! Afterall, you will be there so it is bound to be great fun!!! It doesn't matter if only a few people show up - they will be the people who truely care about you and you will then know it!! You'll still have one up on us British brides as we don't have showers at all!!
Do you get gifts at the shower and at the wedding?

I've always taken a gift to both. The thing is, this was more of a "pre-reception" as in... the only party. There's no party after. So yeah, we kind of did expect a little $ , lol.

We still have an Ohana date??

30 DAYS....... ONE MONTH............UNTIL YOU GET MARRIED!!!!!

I hope your shower went well on Sunday!!

I am soooooooooooooooooooooo looking forward to Ohana! My Ohana Pants are already in my suitcase!!

Just checking in to see how this past weekend went for you! I hope everything went alright. Can't wait to hear all the details.

I'm so glad you got your license! One huge worry off of your plate.

Hey, hopefully we will pass each other on the 13th. I'm at the Beach Club Villas and will be heading out to Luau Beach on 11/13 for a 3pm ceremony. So if you see two old people with a beautiful little girl who will be dressed in purple.........that's us heading out to get married!!!!

I'll be looking for you!! I hope your planning is coming along nicely!! Thanks for checking in!!!

____________________________________

I shouldn't even post today. I have nothing good, nothing positive to say at all. Yesterday was one of the most aggrevating days of my life, the past week has been an ongoing family battle on my side, it all got worse today--real bad, DFs mad because I had to drop YC down to CSR and cancel a few ADRs--he thinks we should just cancel the whole thing, but refuses to understand that the majority of deposits and money are locked in at this point, and I have cried since this morning and haven't stopped. I've never seen such disrespect on so many levels as I did yesterday and today.

I wish I could bring myself to tell you all about it, but I can't. I don't have the energy--I am completely drained. I am overcome with such sadness that it's unbelieveable. At first I thought it was anger, but have come to realize that it's a terrible sad depression that hurts much deeper than anger. I don't know how I am expected to pull out of this within 30 days. If you go over to the Resorts board on the "Resort Changers" thread--I did write a brief synopsis on the party--it's very sugar coated, but it gives a basic idea. I wrote it before my morning went from bad to worse and still had a smidgen of energy.

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I'm sorry I just don't have it in me today.... maybe tomorrow.... maybe next week. Love you all

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

I am so sorry, sweetheart. Let me know if I can help in any way. You TOTALLY don't deserve to be treated like you are. You make me wanna go beat some @$$!

 

[librarygeek]

Totally agree with Jackie. Stay strong! It does sound like DF is being rather unreasonable, he should just be glad to be going to Disney and marrying you, and not get so caught up in all of the other stuff. Good luck

 

[Bewitch324]

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry to hear that your worst fears about the weekend came true! And I am doubly sorry that your family has let you down in so many ways over the last months. I am also sorry to hear that your plans have had to change again, and that your fiance is not understanding. Hopefully, he will pull his head out and get back in the game soon. Hopefully you can both stay focused on what is really important...that you love each other and that you are getting married. You have lots of trips to WDW in your future, and you will be able to deluxe the hell out of those trips---this one won't be as deluxe as you planned or wanted, but it will still be the two of you and it will still be Disney, and you'll still be getting married...and it will still be very special.

Hang in there. Be careful of your health--all this stress and depression makes you more vulnerable to bugs. Don't let yourself get rundown. You will be a beautiful bride and you and your soon to be husband will have a lovely wedding.


Remember we all care. Doesn't help a whole lot I realize but you have a lot of people out here reading about your trials and tribulations and we are all rooting for you!!!

Well said Bewitch324!

We do all care about you. Someone told me and it is very true..... you can not change other people; expect nothing from them and you won't be disappointed!

Focus on you and Dave and how YOU want to live YOUR life going forward!

Thank you ladies for all your support. Of course... Brooke nailed it. I have a cold, and my stomach has been a hot mess all week.

I put my big girl pants on and dealt with my family. Things are ironing themselves out and it looks like a little help is around the corner. I feel better that I got the majority of my anger out. I'm trying to ignore the strong, horrible, feelings I have for not only FMIL.... but his friends right now. If you didn't get over to the RC thread. There were lots of people there for him. The girl bartenders that work with him didn't say hi, bye, congrats, kiss my.... NOTHING to me. They walked past me like I was another guest. So mad. Also, of the lots that were there, there were 5 cards in the card basket..... and 3 were from the only 3 people that showed up for me. Which means of alllllllll the people that showed up for him, only 2 brought cards (and they were individual cards--not bunches that signed one). People taking pix all over the place... I'm not in one of them. Not one. Wasn't asked--nothing. So about 45 minutes in... I only had one friend there at the time... and she asked... what would happen if we left? So we did--came back an hour later, and no one knew we left. Is that sad? No one noticed I left my own party for an hour? Then there's the fact that I got duped into setting up on my own for 2 hours in dress clothes (I went over to drop stuff off and she said--alright I'm going home to get ready--see you in a few hours - yeah... I set up a party in my honor ). While I was sitting there with 2 of my friends--she asked.... do you want to start cleaning this up? No biotch--this is supposed to be my party and I don't feel like doing anymore work. Her people didn't leave until 4 hours after the party was supposed to be over--and I had to work the next morning. Done. Done. Done. So that was that---and there are still some loose ends to tie up there that I'm having DF deal with.... because I'm over it--and his loser friends can go to

Good news!!! My dress shipped today so it should arrive by the end of the week!!! I worked on my announcement labels today and Jason's planning pack!! Lots of checks on my to-do list today!! DFTW sent my final payment to accounting too!! 4 weeks from tomorrow!!!

 

[lilsqueakrr]

People can be so lame. I'm so sorry you had to deal with all of that girlie. =[

But yayayay for your dress as I had said before! Plus getting stuff done off of the checklist is always a good thing. It's all uphill from here! <3

 

[irishwishes]

Oh Deena I'm so sorry you have to deal with all this stuff. This is suppose to be the exciting time! Disney will at least put a smile on your face when you get down there!

Yay for your dress too

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

I did actually follow you over to the resorts board because I am a stalker. and UGH I can't believe people did that to you!!! People SUCK, you know?!?!

And I know how you feel about the pictures--- FMIL did that to me when she visited. It's SO hurtful. UGH!!!

I can't wait for you to get to Disney and leave all of them behind. Maybe you could just stay at CSR and never go back?

 

[Princess SarahK]

Yay for being so close! Just keep focusing on the positive and you will get through it all!! Just a few more weeks and we'll be in WDW gettin married!! Keep your head up love!

I am so sorry to hear about all of this nonsense and drama you're having to deal with. It's astounding how wretched and ugly people can be.

I know it must be hard, but put it all out of your mind and focus on your big day. You know in your heart that the Disney Magic will be incredible so just say *&%!&(_£$)* to all of them!

Here is a little quip that I always find useful when dealing with idiots...look them in the eye all serious and say "you know, some people would say you don't have the morals of an alley cat or the brains of a hobby horse, but you know what...I think you do!"

Focus on what matters not people who are as dumb as spit and twice as ugly!

It'll all be great!! I'm so relieved I at least have a dress now!!!

Oh Deena I'm so sorry you have to deal with all this stuff. This is suppose to be the exciting time! Disney will at least put a smile on your face when you get down there!

Yay for your dress too

I can't wait to get there!!!! I'm sooooooooo ready!! (just not packed lol!)

I can't wait for you to get to Disney and leave all of them behind. Maybe you could just stay at CSR and never go back?

When I hit the lottery, I plan to buy enough DVC to just move around to resort to resort all year

Yay for being so close! Just keep focusing on the positive and you will get through it all!! Just a few more weeks and we'll be in WDW gettin married!! Keep your head up love!

We're almost there!!

Heyyyyy Heyyyyy

Well my dress is in my posession. I went this morning to pick it up. This was after a load of laundry, putting a turkey (yes a turkey) in to cook, and dishes.

When I tried it on at the store, my first fear was... is it going to zip? Should I tell them I have PMS and I'm bloated? What will I say?? It's not going to..... Ziiiippppp it went right up with no issues, lol---big sigh of relief.

I was working with the same Russian lady that tried to rip me off before about cutting the train off, when it was available to order without the train. Her first words to me were... you are going to wear flip flops? Yes biotch--I am going to wear wedge flip flops in the sand so bite me. So I get out to the big mirror and I just don't feel the angels singing. I actually hated all of it. I want bling, I want va-voom, and ultimately I want to be 60 pounds lighter. So between the wedge on the flops and my huge ba-donk the back of the dress laid perfectly to the ground. The front was about 1 1/2 - 2 inches too long. I asked the cost of just taking the front half of the dress up about 2 inches and she told me $120. I told her no thanks--I would just hold it up. She tore me up and down about how it will drag and I will trip. I told her too bad--I'll be in the dress for like 3 minutes and it doesn't matter that much. I was just wanting to get out of there because I felt nothing for this piece of white madness on my body.

I left there and went to the tanning bed. I haven't been tanning enough because I'm busy and tired. I'm still pale and can only go for a few minutes at a time. So I went in, told her to put me in for the full time and I would get out when I'm ready. My mind was racing about this dress. I was having one of my conversations with myself about what I would do and then the bed turns off. Did I stay in the entire time??? Oh Yeah... I'm extra crispy. Whoopsie.

I got home, did more laundry, finished messing with the turkey, at the turkey and went to work 5-9. Came home, gave the dog a bath (he's been itching for a week--I tried flea, oatmeal, and medicated baths--nothing helps--Justine, you're the dog person right?? I have NO money for a vet--help!!), got a snack, watched some DVR..... then I got the itch.... I needed to put it back on.

I pulled out my headband to see if it would be better. This is me after the day you just read about... don't judge... at least i pulled my hair out of the ponytail first, lol:

I love the headband. The dress... I like it a little more than I did in the afternoon... but I just want to pin a giant rhinestone on it, lol. I dunno if I need a necklace? I dunno that a belt/sash would work on this. I bring myself back to the day when I picked it out and I was just needing to pick SOMETHING since time was short. Maybe my flowers will jazz it up. I'm discouraged--but it's too late, and there's no money to do anything about it.

I know I've told stories about the crazy lipstick ladies in the past... but I have turned into the crazy mascara lady.

As most of you know... I work for the mascara capital of the world, lol.... but nothing is working out the way I want. I keep buying mascara. I lined up 17 mascaras on the coffee table the other night, had cotton pads, a mirror and eye makeup remover. I tried one on each eye, I picked a winner, then Dave would choose--we would then decided which one to wash off. Then the try one more and try to beat the current winner. We did this for a longgggggggg time--and he was having a blast, lol. Our winner that we both agreed on is Maybelline's Full and Soft. Rediculous that I have so many mascaras ranging up to $36 and one for $6 was the winner. So that's out of the way.

I mailed Jason's planning pack to him. I started on labels for the announcements... which I decided not to post on here because it has our full names and address on it... and I don't have time to do the blur thing right now. I also need to get more postage.

Oh... and in the spirit of being a Resort Changer... I changed our resort plans.... again.

I called everyday, and finally it was available with my discount I got OKW for the middle 2 days, so we only have to move once instead of twice. So GF for 2 days, and OKW for 4.... much easier!! It was more money that I didn't want to spend... but it'll be good, and worth it. I love having a washer and dryer in the 1BR, the guarunteed king bed, allllll the space, and the jacuzzi tub to warm up after those chilly November nights. I always come back frozen!!

My phone also decided after I did the last Apple update to start dropping calls. I had 17 drops in 25 minutes tonight. Very mad. Between that, and this dog itching--I'm going nuts. I have searched and there's no fleas. So make it stop!! I feel so bad for him because if it's this annoying to me... I can only imagine how crappy he feels. The only time he stops is after a bath... then about 2 hours later, he starts again. I also bought him a PediPaw which he hates.... but Dave has been using it on himself. Really? That thing is like a sandblaster, but he loves it, so whatever.

Ugh, Disney commercial on right now=== I need to be there.

Well I feel like something is crawling all over me since he's itching. It makes me want to take benedryl, lol. I need to end this for the night, lol.

Tomorrow I'm going to start packing and get some cleaning done, so there's no repeat of May when I'm cleaning for the dogsitter at 4am. I also got new bathroom stuff and I will put all that up--I'm going from black to blue and lime. Maybe it'll lighten my moods.

Well that's it for tonight. Any insight on the dress will be appreciated. You don't have to be kind, don't just say it's okay if it's not, lol. I just want to take a bedazzler to it and spray it with glitter.

I hope everyone has a great/productive Sunday. I know lots of us are getting close and are suppppppppper busy!!

Ok...let me clarify that I am "just a guy" therefore, I know that probably rules me out of having any valid opinion on the dress because what do men know, right? But for what it's worth I think you look beautiful in your dress and I think it's just fine!

Next... the dog. Let me tell you a little story that happened to us about a month ago. I have 3 dogs, 2 Boston Terriers, Ryleigh & Chaleigh and 1 Jack Russell puppy, Stanleigh. So, from nowhere, Chaleigh starts scratching constantly. He was rubbing his tummy on the carpet, making it all red and inflamed. We couldn't see anything to cause it but we took him to the vet. Vet says he doesn't know what is causing it, there are no mites or anything, but he'll give him some medicated shampoo, an anti-imflamatory injection and an antibiotic injection which should take care of it. £130 ($200)!!!! So a week on and nothing has changed. Years ago I did some alternative therapy stuff, I was a journalist and I wrote a lot about different therapies so I took some brief courses. I remembered that tea tree oil and lavender oil are both soothing oils, so I bought a monster tub of aqueous cream, added about 20 drops of each oil into the cream and mixed it. I put that on his tummy for 3 days, 3 times a day and bingo it was GONE. Stratching stopped, redness gone, it was like nothing had happened!

So my advice if there is nothing that is obviously causing it, try that. There is nothing in there that can "hurt" the dog if he licks it and it worked a treat. Cost me £12 ($20).

Hang on in there, you're in the home stretch and you're really close to the best day of your life!

First of all love your dress and headband!!!! Very pretty, and I have to say, there is some definite va-voom factor!

As to the dog--it is common for dogs to have seasonal allergies. My border collie mix was very itchy about two weeks ago. I took him to the vet and they gave him an injection and put him on cephalexin. If you want to avoid the vet, the medicated baths are good to help clean off all the pollen, etc, but not too many and you should be able to give the dog benadryl. You can google it to find out the proper dosing. Or here: http://www.benadrylfordogs.org/ Also, you might call your vet and explain the situation and see if they will prescribe something without the visit fee. Hope that helps!

I think the dress looks great! Perfect for a beach wedding! If you want to bling it up some more, maybe a big statement bracelet? I think once you have your bouquet, it will all come together nicely.

I agree with the others...it's probably allergies. I got antihistamines for my dog, but they seem to be getting better now (he doesn't itch..he chews his back feet).

I think your dress looks beautiful. I have been reading about your wedding for the last two months, and have never posted on it, but I thought it was worth letting you be reassured that it looks gorgeous. Your wedding day will be here soon, and all of your stress will be gone and you will be in Disney!

I think your dress looks gorgeous on you! It really does look wonderful, I agree that maybe just jewelry will bling it up a little!

My sweet Deena - Can't help on the dress as I happen to think it looks perfect on you!!! I am not just saying it - I genuinely do!!! The headband is so pretty too. You are going to be such a princess!!!
Can't offer any doggy advice either (not really a doggy person - more a catty person well, I hope not, but you know what I mean).
So close now hun!!!
