[lpizzuro123]

Wow - so exciting. Just wanted to chime in and say congratulations. You are getting married on our 3rd Anniversary. We were married in Disney on 11/10/08. Not sure how I missed your PJ but I found it today and started at the beginning (I am up to page 6 now). Your plans have definately changed - for the better I'm sure. I will go back to reading but just wanted to say hi.

Too bad we will not be down there this year on that date. We are heading down for Thanksgiving - we will be celebrating our anniversary a few weeks late.

Looking forward to reading more.

Lol, we won't pack until the day before we leave. I can't stand having stuff laying around, plus I just won't have time until then. Sounds like you are getting everything wrapped up! I hope your headache is gone....

 

[lilsqueakrr]

Words cannot describe as to how excited I am for you! It's just amazing.

I can't wait to see you in your new dress. Please post pictures! Did I miss pics of you in your wedding gown?? I feel like I may have.. haha.

So stoked for you and I think your in room dinner sounds perfect. It's just what you deserve the first day that you are there.

And I SO wish I could get down there..

 

[belle2211]

Single digits!!!! Oh how time is going to fly by! And I think the inroom dining while watching fireworks sounds soo romantic!

 

[pixiegirl]

I can't believe you are getting married this month. That is so exciting!!! I can't wait to hear how everything turns out. I think in room dining sounds fantastic. What a nice relaxing evening!!

 

[tnkr mom]

Wooo-Hooo! Can't wait to see the pictures!

 

[FlamingoAllie]

I just want you to know that I've been following along, I've just been a terrible DisBride about commenting! You are so close!! So excited for you. Can't believe that November is already here! It seemed so far away, and now you are in the single digits! I can't wait for pics and updates. Take time to breathe this week (haha yea right!) well, try to anyway, and keep your eyes and ears wide open so you don't miss a thing! It all goes by so fast! Just keep swimming, and soon it'll be your big day!

 

[chipmunkfan]

Here's to single digit dancing!!!!

Glad you are feeling better, I'm sick to my stomach thinking about all the packing and stuff I have to do! I have so much stuff I may just UPS it down there. I made this button bouquet that is like 5lbs! I can't believe all of the shirts that you made. Hopefully they will score you a "just married" button!

 

[Jessica527]

YAY!!! Only a little bit to go! Can't wait to hear all about it! Congrats!

I am in such a mind blur. I have no concept that I only have 5 days to pack and prepare and all I want to do is sleep, lol. We are going to be married NEXT FREAKING WEEK. That's making my Mocha Frap do a flip flop in my stomach. I'm holding on to whatever I can

Single digits!! And that was really good that the store was able to overnight the dress! That's a relief, when you first started talking about it I thought you weren't going to be able to get it in time.

Me either! I don't even know if I'll be able to go get it before we leave. I was going to go last night, but that didn't work out. I have other stuff--I have 3 weddings to go to next year so it won't go to waste, lol.

Eek! You're getting married this month. I am so glad you didn't wait a whole year longer. Can you imagine?!?!

I love the idea of in-room dining and watching the fireworks. It will be quiet, romantic, and tasty.

Also--- SO glad your dress is coming in on time! Whew.

Lol... this month---NEXT WEEK!!! I can't wait to do in-room dining. I can sit cross legged on the bed eating steak without a napkin on my lap all proper, lol. It will be AMAZING! All while looking at the Icy Castle

eeeeee!! so exciting it's so close!! SO glad the store was able to get the dress overnighted for you and you were able to move your hair appt! Just a few more days and it'll be all gravy!

Yay!!

ARE YOU READY GIRLS!!?!?

It is our wedding MONTH!!!!!!!!!!! BY next weekend we will all be MRS!!!!

SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!

Lol---I'm not ready!! I bought some NEW Ohana pants on Sunday I felt like I needed another pair, lol. This trip is about comfort

I normally pack around 2am the night before This time, I have to be more prepared, lol. I'm so ready to just get away. Sooooooooo ready!!

Words cannot describe as to how excited I am for you! It's just amazing.

Yeah... the picture is back there somewhere, lol. I feel so scatterbrained, but excited at the same time!! Wish you could be there!!!

Single digits!!!! Oh how time is going to fly by! And I think the inroom dining while watching fireworks sounds soo romantic!

One week!!! The weekends always fly because of my other job so I feel like I'm leaving tomorrow, lol. I gotta get moving!!

I can't believe you are getting married this month. That is so exciting!!! I can't wait to hear how everything turns out. I think in room dining sounds fantastic. What a nice relaxing evening!!

Thanks!! I can't believe it's finally here!

Wooo-Hooo! Can't wait to see the pictures!

I've been bad lately too. I can barely keep up with myself lately!! Sometimes I read on my phone, then think that I'll comment later when I'm home--then don't, etc etc. It's easy for me to read while I'm at my other job--but if they saw me typing I'd be in trouble, lol. I'm trying to keep swimming, but right now I have that drowning feeling

Here's to single digit dancing!!!!

I got the JM buttons in May from Kidani I'm with you on the sick to your stomach thing I can't tell if it's nerves, the stomach virus, an ulcer, lol---I just constantly feel like I'm going to yack--at least the migrane is gone for now!! You better get moving too!! Next week will be here in no time!!

YAY!!! Only a little bit to go! Can't wait to hear all about it! Congrats!

I can't wait to tell all about it!! I have a feeling it's going to be a crazy trip, lol!!

One Week

Yeah--I'm freaking out. This week has been up and down and it's only Thursday. I've been sick, and frustrated, emotional and focused all at the same time.

I forgot to say that on Sunday I had DF put his suit on and I felt like something was missing. He originally planned for no tie. I asked if he had one he would want to wear, or if he could just show me what it looked like--I was curious. I have no idea what ties he has--I never ever go in his closet--but I offered to buy one for him as well. He comes out of the closet laughing: that sounded funny) wearing the tie I bought my dad for my Senior Recognition night and my Graduation. It matched his suit sooooooooo perfect. I've never seen such a perfect match and I just started to cryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. When my father passed, I took some of his t-shirts for me, Dave took some of his dress pants and ties--I had completely forgotton about this as it's been 3 years and he doesn't dress up ever since he works in jeans. It just seemed right, and it looks perfect. I'm glad we were able to incorporate him in.

Monday and Tuesday I felt like hell. Tuesday I had a follow up eye appointment and he said he wouldn't approve my Rx unless I wore them for another week and followed up again. I'm like..... I'm &*^&*% leaving--you never told me this last week. I had a meltdown in his office (which is unlike me in public) and he gave me an extra set of contacts and said good luck, lol.

Wednesday was a rough work day--any drama that could have happened--happened. My mind simply could not drive to get the dress in the traffic that was happening. I had a few errands to run anyway. FedEx, Pharmacy, Tanning, $ discussion. Tanning check, Pharmacy check, I had to wait until 7:30 for fedex so I thought I'd run home make dinner and go. The chicken was still frozen solid so I told him to get dressed we were going to Big Boy. We ate in record speed there--I tried to bring up $ but got the silent treatment. Every screaming child in Northern Ky was there with their Halloween coupons. Went to Fedex, got my package. We got home, I tried again--got shot down. Finally I lost my patience and there was a huge blowout. He won't ask his family for help, and can only give me what I can pay him back the week we get back. (so basically he'd just be floating me a loan, lol) I've been telling him this for months and he acted like I was joking--and he acted like I just sprung it on him. Well if you read backwards--you will know how many times I brought this up--this is not the first conversation. This week alone I have taken clothes and shoes to Plato's Closet and got $130, took Jewlery (some of which I did not want to part with) to the Jeweler for $250, and sold some of my makeup stuff at home for $100. I'm making sacrifices and trying to come up with whatever I can, however I can. Maybe he should go thru his jewelry and try to make a dollar. Maybe he should sacrifice a few items of clothing for a few dollars. He said that he doesn't have a money tree--neither do I--but I'm making it happen aren't I? I've been eating canned soup for lunch and he's having $9 lunches out everyday--little stuff like that makes a difference. I also told him what a piece FMIL is. I told him I don't care what he thinks about me saying it-that she screwed us over and I paid for her party--that party had nothing to do with me. I know you shouldn't bad mouth someone's mother to their face--but I just don't have a filter right now. I may officially be a bridezilla. As of right now I'm $350 down if I decide to float him $550--which I'll have to do. I will grovel and beg my family for the $350--or offer to pay them back... which all this paying back cuts into my Disneyland fund.

This morning I'm trying to remain positive. I ordered his tickets from UT, paid for our dining plan for the last night at OKW and am making last minute budget adjustments. I'm double fisting a Mocha Frap and a Large Coke from McD's trying to pump some life into my body. Last night felt like it took the life out of me. If anything, I'm glad we hashed out some of the stuff that we did before we sign on the dotted line. We said some really hurtful things to each other, but in the end it came out to be really productive--I know that sounds crazy. My $195 L'or de Vie eye cream is a complete miracle worker and has hidden any sign of my emotions last night Trust me--it's seriously the best ever--it's my one crazy splurge and it lasts a realllllllllly long time. I get my big paycheck tomorrow and will do more distributing then.

Also... this is great timing. I had sent a letter about our horrific California Grill experience in May. We loved this place and our server was a real biotch to me, our food sucked and the whole experience was awful. I was so mad because this was one of our faves and I was thinking I wasn't going to go back. So I put it on paper. This week I got a call that I would see $93.20 back on my Visa for the cost of the credits used for our meal. So apparently I do have a money tree

As much as I wanted that dress--I may have to wait until I get back. I just don't have the time to go get it. I wish I did--but it won't go to waste. I have at least 3 weddings to go to next year... so I'll wear it then.

Ugh, I dunno... I just looked at it again... and I want it

I also haven't heard from Jason. Last we communicated was when I sent my payment in. I sent my planning pack a few weeks ago, but haven't heard anything. I know they're busy because I see what they're up to on FB... but I think I may have to touch base.

Should I touch base with Rev Jack too? Or do you think it's under control??

This has got really long--but I all of a sudden am having this last minute feeling. To all you girls that have had help from famlily and friends... be soooooooooooooooo glad--because I have done everything 100% by myself and I feel so overwhelmed that I feel like I could get to the Contemporary, lay on the bed and not get up until it's time to check out. I can't imagine if I were to put on the big wedding alone. I just can't even fathom--I would be a hot mess (which is good entertainment for my readers, lol).

Well I'm going to try to figure out a few more things, but I may be back to talk a bit more. If you think there's anything I'm missing, or want to make me a list... feel free, lol. I'm totally losing it, lol.

I'm getting married in one week!!!

First of all, the story about the tie is so sweet and beautiful. I'm really glad you found a way to pay tribute to your dad at your wedding in such a nice way.

I feel so bad for you with the money stuff! It seems like you're always getting screwed over so I'm really glad that you at least got a little luck with Disney with getting the CG money back! But the issues with FMIL and DF are definitely frustrating, I feel for you!!

 

[scaspian]

When you are getting married is a great time to think about life insurance for you and your new spouse. There is a website where you can find tons of information and live licensed life insurance advisors who can help you figure out if you need life insurance and help you find the right policy. I work for this company and we help a lot of people. It is really easy. Visit our site. ***************/t5UMTX

 

[LuvLuvLuv]

i've been spamed

 

[Bewitch324]

I can't even imagine how much stress you must be under with GETTING MARRIED in a few days and money stress on top of that!!

I'm glad you and DF hashed some things out, even if it didn't go the way you'd hoped. I guess you know where you are with that at least!

As for the dress--is there anyway you can get the store to overnight it or priority mail it to your house? I hate for you to not be able to take it if you want to!! And I sure don't see a spare minute for you to go get it!!!

I am so looking forward to hearing all about your trip and your special day; I'm sure it will be amazing. I love your plan for in room dining...

Try to keep as calm as you can and focus on the joy!! You will be a beautiful bride!

Take care of YOU!!!
Brooke

Thank you!! I'm glad we got last minute words out. One one week away!! Then I get to do a trip report!!

_____________

So here's what I've accomplished today.

Bridal and Formal is shipping my dress to me for $5.25 That's less than the gas would be for just the trip there, lol. This is a win--I'm glad I called--and I'm glad Brooke gave me the idea .

I made a wish list (and an order from left to right, lol) for Food and Wine and made sure budget is good for that. I worked on my budget and made envelopes for vendors.

Do you pay Rev Jack Day in cash or check?

I added our celebration to our ADRs.

I sent an email to Jason.

Tomorrow when I get paid, I'll distribute more $$--and see what I need from there.

The to-do list is dwindling--but I still feel out of time. Everyone keeps telling me that I look sick. I was even asked if I was pregnant. Um, no. People are just weird. I'm going to leave it at that, lol. Bye for now!

 

[ladyemz]

So glad you managed to sort the dress

The story behind the tie is so sweet and it will be a perfect way to remember your dad on your magical day.

Really sorry to hear about the money problems, at least you got the money back from CG and you are still going to Disney for your amazing wedding.

Hope you are feeling a bit better now.

 

[tinkerbell 766]

Deena sweetie - Hang on in there!! We are all right beside you in spirit and you are nearly there!!!

 

[BethieTink]

Deena,

One week from today, you will be married!!!

Wishing you a stress free week as you get ready to leave.

The story about the tie is a tear jerker for sure. Very sweet.

Have a great weekend!
