M&Ms PJ~April 10, 2008~YCG/Italy Plaza*Photographer Photos are up!*

Well I almost down to 25 days left before the wedding! I can’t believe how fast it is coming. Yet at the same time, I can’t believe how slow time is moving! I’m getting really excited/anxious for the big day! I just want it all to happen now! I know it will go so quickly though so I need to take it all in before the actual day :)

I have just a small update today. I’ve organized everything tonight. And currently I am wearing my wedding shoes to get used to them ;) I also had time to bake some cookies. Hahaha

My family FINALLY bought their plane tickets and rented their car which is a good thing. I was stressing a little!

We bought DF’s ring which I really like. Here is a picture of it..
weddingthings002.jpg


It doesn’t match mine at all but I figure he has to wear his and I have to wear mine so we should both have what we like!

We’ve made our final payment already! We have gotten most of our RSVPs back and we are at 59 adults, 2 kids and 2 infants. I am so thrilled with that number! It’s not too big and not too small. PLUS it’s under what we budgeted so our payment will be less than we originally thought which is a fantastic thing. I just got my updated Floral budget which is also lower so that’s great!

I’m working on our newsletter now. I need to make sure people understand the whole transportation issue since they MUST be on a bus to get to the reception. I really hope people actually read it! But I wont hold my breath on that one ;)

DF and I have booked some excursions for our cruise which is fun. We also made some ADRs for our time at Disney. We’ll be there from Tues to Sat with the wedding on Thurs. We’ll be eating at San Angel Inn on Tuesday then Crystal Palace on Friday and Kona Café on Saturday. Oh of course ‘Ohana for the rehearsal dinner! Some family members have been trying to commit us to other things but I’m not having it. I don’t want to over-schedule ourselves. I want to be free to do what we want, when we want :thumbsup2 We’ll go home for a night after Disney to prepare for the cruise that leaves on Sunday. I am so excited to go on vacation!!!!!!!!

I had my hair trial on Tuesday with Ana from Beaute Speciale. She tried a few different things but in the end we decided to just do half up, half down. I really don’t like my hair up and I don’t like it curly either so that didn’t leave me a lot of options :rotfl: It will look pretty simple but that’s ok with me. Now I just need to buy a pretty clip to wear in my hair.

I had my first dress fitting and my 2nd too. It turns out they took it in too much and now the top is tight! Lame!! I know that I did not gain weight so the girl must have pinned it wrong. The seamstress seemed a little pissed that she had to take it back out but it’s not my fault! They had some girl that pinned me in the first place rather than the seamstress so that’s probably where they went wrong. I will make sure the seamstress is there for the rest of the fittings to avoid this issue again. I also still need it hemmed and bustles put in. I’m getting a little concerned b/c we have so little time left, but they keep assuring me that I have plenty of time. I guess I’ll trust them.

I have moved ALL of our wedding items out to the dining table b/c I’m sick of having it all over the apartment! It is now dubbed “Wedding Central”

Our favor tags should be here this week so we’ll finish up the favors. We bought picture frames for our bridal party gifts. We are going to give them the frames at the dinner and then we’ll send a nice picture from the wedding to them sometime after the wedding. We bought our Moms really pretty diamond necklaces as Thank You gifts. I hope they like them! I still need to pick up some gifts for the kids, but I think I’ll go over to Downtown Disney sometime this week or next for that.

Let’s see what else…OH! Mert and I have decided to take pictures before the ceremony. We just feel like we’ll be less pressed for time by doing it that way. Mert was against at first but now he’s in agreement :) We’ll make sure to set it up so we have a “first look” picture.

Well that’s about it. Sorry I’m not very exciting! I’ll hopefully update again as we get even closer. I cant wait!! Hope you all have a great night! :goodvibes
 
Wow.. you're getting there! Let me know if you feel super stressed and need help. K? Good luck!
 
OMG it's been sooo long since I was on the boards! I wanted to wish you all the best!!!!!! You guys are going to have such an amazing wedding! Congrats!
 
Dude!
You made cookies? Send some our way... :lmao:
How'd you like Ana?
She is a hoot isn't she?
Hopefully we get her again in April... since I heard she could pretty much send anyone.

Love wedding central... our spare room is pretty much the wedding central. When something is done I just leave it there and forget it... hehe.

Ooh... let me know how the pictures before ceremony thing turns out.
We are still doing it after but I want to make sure we have enough time.
So if it takes you guys a loooong time to take your pics let me know, we might have to change plans... :)

Ana is hysterical. She said she's bringing other girls to do my BMs for the wedding, but she'll come herself to do my hair and makeup. So maybe it will be the same for you.

I'll definitely let you know about the pictures. I think it's going to work out well! Only a few more weeks left for you!

It was so funny reading this posting because I sounded this way on a lot of things too. Believe the closer you get to the wedding the faster it will fly by. I made sure that I took time to enjoy the little things (even staying up at all hours finishing up last minute projects) and I'm sure you will too.

Kris' ring doesn't match mine either; we just went for what each of us wanted most!

59 should be a great number for you. We had 52 and it was just right. We didn't have to rush around greating everyone at the reception. I actually got to sit down and eat my meal! It was fantastic I enjoyed every minute of it. Plus, we even took individual pictures with each family which will be a nice keepsake.
 
WOO HOO!!! It's going to be here before you know it.Time is flying by,I have a feeling April will go by so slow, I couldn't sleep the other night because I'm so excited!!!!

The cookies look YUMMY!!!!! I love your counter tops lol.

I'm really hoping that's what will happen at my reception! I would love to actually sit down and eat. Plus have plenty of time with my guests!

I'm trying to savor the last weeks ...but I'm still so excited I just want it to be here now! ;)

Haha Thanks :) I've been having nightmares about the wedding so I havent been getting good sleep! Time is dragging right now but I know as soon as I get down to about a week or two, time will fly!

You dont have too much longer!
 
I’m about 11 days away from the big day now! Sorry I’ve been slacking on the updates. Things have been busy with the wedding errands and tasks. Plus I’m switching jobs at Disney so that’s been making work a little weird, but good, too!

We finished decorating the favors and wrapping the bridal party gifts.

I found awesome pink and orange wrapping paper that works perfectly with my theme :thumbsup2 The first picture has Flat Stanley in it. My nephew sent him to us this year. For those of you who might not have young children in your life, Flat Stanley is a character from a story about a boy being magically flattened. He then realizes he can travel to all sorts of places by mail so he’s able to see the world. The students make their own Stanleys and then mail them to friends and family for a trip. The friends and family are supposed to take Stanley around, take pictures, send postcards, write a letter, whatever and send it back to the class so the kids can learn about new places and things. I think it’s such a neat idea. We took my nephew’s Flat Stanley to Epcot and he helped us with our favors ;)

We also finished printing and mailed out our newsletters.

Mert was in charge of printing envelopes.

I have my M&Ms all ready to go. I bought small plastic bags so that our guests can fill them with M&Ms to take home. We punched holes in the bags and put ribbon through them to tie them shut. They turned out pretty well. I really hope people take the M&Ms b/c seriously we bought WAY too many. We’ve been eating pink and orange M&Ms for weeks now which is not helping me fit into my dress!! ;)

I have a few bridal party gifts left to buy. I bought my nephew a Wii game today for his gift. I think I’m going to buy Disney necklaces for my young girls. And then I still need to find something for my Dad. Any ideas??

This week I have to go to my final two dress fittings and then I’ll pick it up on Friday. We will also be picking up Mert’s tux on Friday too so we have lots of time for alterations if needed. I’m bringing all my ribbon for the bouquets to Rose on Wednesday and then I will deliver all of my favors, guestbook, place cards, M&Ms, etc to Franck’s on Thursday. The one great thing about being on Disney property every day is that these errands aren’t really too time consuming which is good.

My family will be here next Sunday which I am so excited about! I feel like the wedding will finally feel real once they arrive. I’m going to work a half day on the 7th and then I’m off for 2 glorious weeks! I’m getting so excited now!! :)
