I am a bit late in starting this, but i just now have time to breathe.

The cast of characters have changed so many times since I have started planning that i didn't feel safe in mentioning anything on the board.

As of right now,

Megan - Renewal Bride
Carl - Renewal Groom
Carl Jr. - DS and Best Man
Jenn - his DF and MOH
JenT - BM
Isabella - Carl & Jenn's DD1 & Flower Girl

That is everybody who will attend the ceremony.

We are celebrating our 25th Anniversary with a Vow Renewal on November 7, 2007 at 2:30 in the Yacht Club Gazebo. We are hopefuly moving on to Animal Kingdom Lodge for extra hour of photography, but I havn't heard back from Rosie yet. We will be dining at Boma - I was holding out for California Grill or Jiko but I got overruled by the fact that a 1yo and a diversity of people would feel more comfortable at a buffet.

I have my dress. I looked for ages, not sure if I wanted fou fou white or something plainer. Most of the Mother of the Bride dresses were too matronly for me. Funny enough, on the way to WDW in April I realized I forgot some clothes so we asked for a store when we stopped for the night. The front desk sent us to a Belk store. As we wandered helplessly around and around trying to find the department we were looking for, I SAW it. I stopped dead in my tracks and declaimed MY Dress. My husband promptly plowed into me knocking us both to the floor and precipitating a minor riot. :eek: The dress is a simple ivory linen sleeveless with a sheer ruffle at the hem reaching my ankles. The jacket has a sweetheart neckline and 3/4 sleeves with the sheer ruffle at the end of the sleeves. The only ornamentation is pink roses and sage green leaves embroidered on the shoulders of the jacket and the dip of the skirt hem.

I am making all the florals except for the bride & groom which come with the package. More on that when I figure it out. Biggest problem - How to keep Belle from eating her flower wreath.

There are more events to plan as everybody will be staying with us for a week. More later.

Meg:love:
 
Congratulations on 25 years! That's quite an accomplishment!
 
Everything sounds great so far. Would love to read more as your plans go on (and love to see pictures).

I'm definitely interested in hearing about everyone's plans for their vow renewals too. Next year when I get married, that November is my parent's 30th anniversary. They were originally going to do a renewal at 25 years, but it didn't work out. I'm hoping to help them plan something for their 30th!
 

Congratulations on your 25 years! That is so great to hear and your dress sounds so Pretty! I can not wait to read more!
 
I'm sorry, I can upload my pictures but I can't seem to get them on my post. I'll keep trying. Success!

This is my dress. You are the first to see it except for DH.

Anyway, I have finished making the florals. The colors are ivory and pink. The fans are for MOH and BM. The wreath is for the FG. We tried it on her this weekend and it fit. She is growing so quickly I hope it fits in Nov. It is ajustable, I built it on pipe cleaners. The hair ornaments are for MOH, BM and me. They can be trimmed down to fit anyones' hairstyle the big day. I won't sew the combs on them until then. The BestM's flowers are in front of the vase.

I also made a vase of flowers for the table in the gazebo and decorated palm fans to pin to the skirt of the cake table. I had a tough time trying to find palm fans. The stores don't have them and on the internet it seemed a lot of fans were being held at customs. I had to e-mail pictures of the decorations to my WC, Kathleen for her approval. Fortunately she answered the next day with enthusiastic approval. I am not sure if I have to put up the decorations or if she will arrange for their placement.

Yeah:banana: I received an email from Rosie to set up a phone appointment to discuss floral and photography. These are probably the two things that have been bothering me the most. I would like to get them finalized. I'll let you know how that goes.
