Thanks Amanda I'm not really into girly pinks but I think the strong fuchsia will look great in the Florida sun - I still can't believe the boys agreed to wear pink ties!

Lol I know...I found the perfect color green tie the other day and Eric said, but I really wanted to wear pink!!

When we first started planning he told me his least fav color was pink and he would NOT be wearing it!

My main wedding colour is fuchsia pink with an accent of 'tiffany' blue. However I have had loads of trouble finding things in tiffany blue because every company uses a different shade (some are too blue and some too green). I know I might sound a bit obsessive but I don't want to end up with loads of different shades of blue / green!

Sadly, I don't have any Tiffany jewellery for comparison - I did joke to my mum that we should buy something from America just to get the box! Anyway, yesterday my parents brought me this amazing present back from their holiday in London.....

So now I will always know what colour I am looking for! I am so happy with this present and would love it to be my 'something blue' on the big day - maybe on a charm bracelet or even attached to my garter. Oh, and my dad said he can be my 'something old'

You must have converted him to the pink

I don't have a planner yet but yesterday I got the details of my planning session

We arrive in FL on Tuesday 6th October, then we will have a site visit with my co-ordinator at 1pm on Wednesday 7th October. The planning session will take place from 9-1 on Thursday 8th October and the menu tasting will be at 2.30 on the same day. I am really happy with these timings, best of all we will then have 4 whole days afterwards to enjoy WDW

I just found out Monday 12th October is Columbus Day, we had planned to go to MNSSHP that night but I am worried it will be really busy. Any advice about how busy the parks get during Columbus Day / weekend would be much appreciated!

Everything is looking beautiful Michelle. Looking forward to hearing more.

On Saturday I paid the balance for my planning session trip and exchanged my spending money into dollars - it feels really close now

We have put together a schedule (and realised a week is not very long!) We have planned a few really nice things, such as afternoon tea at the Grand Floridian, MNSSHP and a fantasmic meal. I am also planning a hair and make up trial.

Now all I can do is wait for October...

Oh Yay!!! We are going for our PS 9/28-10/4 but since it's a work trip too it's pretty much paid for! We only have to pay about $300 for Df plus his airfare! Have you looked through your planning session packet yet?? WOW...there is a lot of information there!!

They've emailed some of it, but I think there's also some post on the way! I though I was organised, but now I've realised there are still a LOT of questions to answer!

Have a great PS x

I know you already have your invitations...but I saw this and thought of you.

That invite is really cute!


I don't think I'll be able to do a PS so I'm going to have to live vicariously through yours...

They are gorgeous! If the DIY invitations don't work they can be my back-up option!

Feel free! I thought going from the UK to Florida for week for a PS was a bit mad but your journey would be a massive trek!

 

[Michelle2010]

I had a few days leave this week so we decided to go to a nice hotel. When we arrived on Monday I fell down the stairs (on the way to our room) and then spent most of the night in hospital! We then had to return home the next day to see a specialist so the holiday was ruined

I have fractured my right elbow so have to wear a sling and will be off work for at least a couple of weeks.

Unfortunately I am right handed so can't do much even write or type very well (my DF is typing this for me!), so this has put a halt to all the things I planned to do in preparation for my planning session! At least I can still read the Disboards (slowly!)

Feel better soon!

 

[BecBennett]

That's no good! I hope you're not in too much pain, and you get better soon.
Enjoy your time off work, even though you will probably be swamped at work when you get back...

There there...

Hi Michelle

Hope your arm isn't hurting too much today

I've searched the internet and it would seem Rit dye is the one to get for turning my white veil into your ivory one (hopefully). I ordered a box yesterday from a UK supplier, so we might be able to try it this weekend. (Who would have thought that icon would come in useful?!) x

Thanks Mum - I really hope it works and I can use your veil for my something borrowed
