Meg I can totally relate with you now as I found out it's almost ceratin I lost Italy for our DP and will be using the UK upper too!

Any updates for us??? Hang in there!
 
Ok, so I really dont get the whole "getting bumped" out of France thing. How can they do that? Is it because you werent meeting the minimum there as well? That doesnt seem fair at all!!

I've got my fingers crossed for you with ADH - I really hope you can work something out!
 
oh Meg!! I'm so sorry you have more stresses to deal with!! I hope you can end early for the lower F&B minumum. i can't believe they bumped you out of your DP with less than 2 months to go!! UGH!

I know - it feels like something that should have been figured out during the last bit of stress! Grrrr!!

As far as your DP goes - UK Upper has a great view of IllumiNations and just think - you do not have to spend money to bring in tables - but I guess you need to add money.

Ariels is a beautiful location - love the lower dance floor.

Linda

Ariel's wouldn't be the end of the world as we know it - it's a beautiful location - I just would have had a fishy wedding!

I'm so sorry they bumped you! How can they do that?

I think you should definitely end the reception early. I dont think 30 minutes is worth that much more money. How long is it supposed to be?

I'm sending you good vibes :goodvibes:

The reception is supposed to be 1:30 - 5:30p - which is why I can't see paying that extra 1700 for those 30 minutes! Keep your fingers crossed that cutting that time off will work! Thanks for all the good vibes! :)

I just wanted to send you a hug....:hug: I'm getting stressed out too! So here is another hug... :hug:

Well thanks for the hug and here's one back o'course! :hug: I'm sorry to hear you're stressing!!

Aw Meg I'm so sorry! But I am totally free that evening to up your numbers for the DP if you can get France back. Heck I may even still have my aunt and uncle and cousins plus my MOH and her DBF in town so I can bring a gaggle of 7, 8 if Jeff is off. Heck I can invite the whole guest relations department if you need me too. They love to eat :thumbsup2

LMAO!! You and Jeff are more than welcome to the DP - let me know if you can come by! (But perhaps not the Disney Guest Relations Dept... LOL) Thanks Becky! :hug:

Aww Meg that totally sucks!! Keep us updated on ADH. I don't understand either how they can bump you from France!

I don't understand how they can do it either! It's like - don't I get a say?? Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

:hug: Aw Meg I'm sorry!!!! Let us know what you planner says about ADH. UK is a beautiful location.

Will do - thanks Carolina! (Less than two weeks for you - so excited for you and Sergio!!) :banana:

I am in with Carrie and Becky... i am free too to have some food and cake...MMMM MMMMM! .. oh and to see you of course! hehe!!

Im sure there must be a way the planner can work with you to get what you want. I dont know too much about the damn minimum things so i cant help in that area.. soz!

But i am here for a hug! Here is a hug! :hug:

Stacey - head on over for the food and cake - we'll have a Disbrides protest of dumb minimums and well - throw a party at the same time!

Thanks for the :hug:!

Ok Meg, when I last read this you were all Drama free, what happened chicky!!! Between all of us on here we can certainly figure out a way to fix this though. On my trip last month we watched Illuminations from the UK terrace and it was lovely, great view and a bit secluded which was nice, you will love it I am sure :)

Now the ADH thing I agree with Becky.... BOOOOOOOO!! No fair that they can bump you so close! Keep us posted I am sending you lots of pixie dust Meg:wizard:

Give me a minute and Disney will find a way to make drama! :rotfl:Thanks for the Pixie Dust Sam!! :goodvibes

Awe Meg sweetie i'm sorry you are having to deal with all this so close to the wedding.... :hug::hug::hug:

I'm down with everyone else... I'm coming down for food and cake! :thumbsup2

As far as the DP goes i've heard good things about UK upper. (even though its not really what you wanted) But hopefully you'll be able to get france back.

As far as the whole ADH thing goes it stinks.... really stinks. I hope there is some way that your WP will work with you, i think ending the reception half an hour early is a great idea! I hope they'll allow it! Keep us posted!

I'm not hugely upset about losing France as we were originally in UK. But losing France and possibly ADH in the same day really burnt my beans!! :headache:

Meg I can totally relate with you now as I found out it's almost ceratin I lost Italy for our DP and will be using the UK upper too!

Any updates for us??? Hang in there!

GRRR! What is with Disney and DPs?!?! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you to keep Italy. No updates yet.. more on that in the next post!

Ok, so I really dont get the whole "getting bumped" out of France thing. How can they do that? Is it because you werent meeting the minimum there as well? That doesnt seem fair at all!!

I've got my fingers crossed for you with ADH - I really hope you can work something out!

As I understand it, each location has a minimum and maximum of guests. When we went down to 35, we went under the minimum and el bumpo! :mad:

Keep your fingers crossed! I appricate it! :goodvibes
 
Hey all! Thought an update of good stuff would help counteract the drama and junk that has been clouding up my wedding plans as of late! So this is going to be a positive - non drama update with a small exception for the update about ADH.

Update - I haven't heard anything yet 3 days later. End of update. ;)

Okie - on to the good stuff!!

I went for my second fitting on the 13th. I had my niece snap a picture of me in the dress on my Iphone. So it's not the best picture at all, but you get the idea of how it's coming!

photo21.jpg


But though seeing this picture, I realized how I hate my upper arms and want to cover them so I went out and purchased this Alfred Angelo bolero to cover that problem up asap!

Bolero.jpg


It will be in two weeks before the wear date the bridal shop gave the company which was October 3rd... so mid-late September I think! :cutie:

I've been working on the favors, which are almost done! I just need to get the candles and stickers. I decided to do them myself instead of ordering them from Yankee Candle, as the only blue votive that they'll let you do for the custom candles is baby powder, and I really don't want Baby Powder scent. So I'll do them myself ordering everything through Ebay and save about 25.00. But this is what the favors look like right now.

CIMG1855.jpg


Since Disney will only put out 3 items on the table or something like that - we combined everything into one 6 x 9 organza bag. We have the CD in there as well as bubbles that we were going to use instead of the rose petals. I figured I might as well give them out as favors instead of keeping them forever.

We got Rob's cuff links and wedding ring. The ring is much darker than I thought it would be, but he loves it and it seems to be indestructable!

CIMG1854.jpg


And the cufflinks - we're both really pleased with them - very good weight and look!

CIMG1852.jpg


I bought what may be the smallest Model in the Bottle err.. bottle for the day of the wedding.

CIMG1851.jpg


I think that's enough for my face - LOL! Looked a lot bigger on Ebay, but oh well!!

ANYWAYS, I'm still not sure what I'm going to do as far as earrings for the day. My step-mom is buying me a strand of pearls to wear and my dad bought me this bracelet from Ross Simons that I was admiring..

Bracelet12.jpg


So I was thinking about going with a blue topaz stud earring in the bottom hole and covering up the other holes. I don't want to do pearls, because I really like color - I don't really own any white in my wardrobe (well except for one big exception :bride:). I'm also looking at multi-gemstones as well... will be posting back with pictures and ideas!

That's about all for now. The ceremony is just about done - just tweaking a few things here or there. The song choices are set - the two that we needed to pick were the grooms entrance and the recessional. Rob picked "Real Love" - John Lennon, and I finally chose "Shiny Happy People" - R.E.M. for the recessional, since we couldn't come up with anything else! lol I mean when in our lives are we really going to be shinier, or happier??

I can't believe we're down to 49 days - it feels like there's so much left to do and no time left to do it in!! Thanks for all your good wishes, hugs and pixie dust - you ladies are awesome -there's no way I could have done all this without you!! So :goodvibes+:wizard:+:hug: to you all!
 

yay dress piccys!!! i think it looks great!! and it would def be okay without a jacket hun! that photo of the jacket looks pretty though! So if you want a jacket you get a :thumbsup2 on the choice!

i like the idea of putting all the favours in 1 bag- i think its so stooopid to only allow 3 items to be put down on the table per guest- then they charge you! I think, if i am going to have more than one favour then i will steal that idea! good thinking batwoman!

i like the cufflinks.. i want to get Wayne some of them as a present!

and what is model in a bottle? Is that a dumb question i am mean to know? hehe??
 
I love your dress Meg!!! It so pretty and that bolero is beautiful!

The favors are coming along nicely too! I love the CD idea!

I hope you hear something about ADH soon
 
Wow, I can't believe how fast October is coming up!!!!

I love the Mickey cufflinks and I have never liked boleros but that one is very pretty!

I'm still so confused on how they bumped you from your dessert party! How in the world did that happen?! Did you have to have a min number of people there?
 
So sorry they added more drama and kicked you out of France :( I hope they let you take the 30 minutes off your reception! On a happier note, your dress is beautiful and you look so gorgeous in it!! I love the cufflinks and bracelet!
 
AW! You look beautiful Meg! HOpefully no news means your WP is hard at work trying to settle all this drama for you! :grouphug:
 
You look beautiful! I love those little cap sleeves, they will look lovely.

Everything is definitely coming along. It will be here before you know it :goodvibes
 
Hey Meg, Awesome pic girl! And I dont think you need the shrug, but I totally understand it, you want to feel 100% comfortable on the big day. I bet it will look awesome with your dress! Cant wait to see the final fitting pic!:goodvibes
 
Meg...Any word on the ADH? I say move the time...If they say it has to be 4 hours then make it start a 1/2 sooner even if the guests arn't all there yet!

Now on to good stuff! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the dress! I like the sleeves too, but I have fat arms and went sleeve-less...If I did it you can! But just make sure your feel comfortable. Also I have a pair of shear chaffon sleaves I could have sent you for free!!! They come down to the elbows. If you want to see a picture let me know, if you get yours and don't like them let me know, if you want them jsut for a backup let me know!
 
Here's the word from our WP. We have two choices - I like choice 1, Rob likes choice 2. We're leaving it up to the vendors - if they can accommodate the earlier time we'll do number one. I'm not uber upset about losing SBP if I have to.

What do you think??

First off... :lovestruc your dress! And your favors are looking great. And I soooo want that braclet it's fantastic! Way to go dad!

Onto your dilema.... In my opinion...Are you and Rob seeing each other before the wedding? If so, I'd go with #2, becuase then you need less time between the ceremony and the reception, since your photos will be mostly taken before hand, and with a small group, an hour of pre-reception time could get long.

But if you're not seeing each other before the wedding, then #1 is best because you still get your picture time.

Also, bummer about France. Have you asked about the French Arm? They only require 20 people for that space, and it's still France and doesn't have the dreaded tables.... That's what we're doing... just a thought.
 
I personally would go with #2 - which is the least amount of change for you from your current plans.

Unless you really think your crowd will be dancing up a storm and you will want that extra reception time?
We shortened our reception just because I couldnt imagine that many people dancing at 1pm in the afternoon... and I dont think we have a real dancing crowd, so I figured a shorter reception was just fine for us.

It depends on your crowd and what's important to you. But at least you have options!! I am so glad you wont be losing ADH!:goodvibes
 
Hi Meg! :wave2: I apologize for my absence on your PJ. You look so beautiful in your dress and I think that bolero will look fabulous with it!:thumbsup2 You are getting so close, I almost can't believe it! bummer about France though.

As for the situation with ADH, I would go with option #1. My reasoning is... 1) I don't like rushing and well, having everything so close together would just stress me out. 2) it gives you more time for photos and well, we all know the Roots will get you a ton of amazing photos regardless of the location. 3)I know it's only a half hour earlier but it gives you a little extra time afterwards to change or relax or have fun in the park before the DP.

Good luck with everything. :wizard: I'm sorry you are having such problems. :hug:
 
I agree with the above post....you look great in the dress!!!!!! And I would also pick option 1. I think both like great, but like it has already been said, it looks more rushed, and you want to take the time to enjoy your wedding. Either way, both options seem great, and I'm sure either will work great!

What do you think??

I think option #1 seems like a lot of time. I think I'd go with #2. PS I love the bracelet and the bolera. Great!
 
i guess i may be biased against option 1 b/c that's a very similar timeline to what mine will be, except that my reception ends at 3pm:laughing: also, that is what our WC recommended so that we have enough time to get from one place to another along with time for pics. the way i'm looking at it, it's the biggest day of your lives and regardless of the timeline it will fly by. I think a little more time in between gives you a chance to stop and smell the roses rather than be here, be there... cha cha cha. :goodvibesi actually wished we had a little more space in between than we really do but for the Cali Grill we'll need to be out by 3 so yeah.
