monana's TR:Fantamic! Dessert Party, pictures added

[monana]

Disney will send you extras - we got ours about 2 weeks ago and we must have gotten at least 10 extras. As we find out some people will definately not come we might send out a few additional to some people that we would like to invite but did not want to go over our numbers. We are having our phone planning session this Monday and once we have a better idea of the $$$$ we might up our number a few also.

Linda

It's good to know that they will be sending extra ones, I was kinda worried about that. We are doing the same as you. Right now were iniviting those that are family and really close friends, and then depending on the response from the family, we'll go from there to inviting more of the friends that we'd love to have join us as well.

hey mona,

we haven't done a PJ cause I'm just so busy with school... but I guess I should throw something together so everyone can give me any ideas they might have for my wedding... and so you can see another Japan wedding Because I know pics are hard to come by.

We are using rev. Randall Miller... we found him by looking through the wishbook on Disney's wedding website. have you tried that? it lists people that are available for hair and makeup and other little tidbits as well... like where to get your marriage license. You may want to check out his website: www.uniquelyunited.com He just seemed really sweet and he will be familiar with the Japan site after us If you have any questions then feel free to PM me!

Oh man i could not imagine trying to plan a wedding and going to school at the same time. i wish you all the best. but your right it is pretty hard to find pictures of those that have had weddings in Japan. however sometimes i think that's a good thing because it makes it a little more unique since not a lot of people have had their wedding there.
Thanks for the link to Rev. Randall Miller's website. it was a very helpful website, and now were waiting to hear from him. thanks so much for your help.

Here is my dress. I totally love it, and it was the first dress i even tried on. I just couldn't stop smiling when i had it on. so i knew it was the one.

sorry i took the dress picture out, don't want my df to see it, he's starting to look over my shoulder and what not whenever i am on the boards. I gotta make sure he doesnt see it. ^_^


Here are some possible jewlery that i may just wear with the dress.


this is a bracelet, my df got me for valentine's day about 3 years ago, so it will serve as my something old i guess.

this is the necklace that my df got at disneyland california adventure the day after we got engaged, its the one that matches the bracelet.

Today I got our first phone call from our wedding planner. Our wedding planner is Michelle Gilhooly. I can't wait until our packet gets here and we start planning everything for the wedding.

Love your dress! It's very pretty! Congrats on getting your wedding planner!!

 

[monana]

I was wondering if anyone has use the services of Pastor Kirk Bane? We'd love to use him just because from the list we got from DFTW, he seems to be the only tied to a church. Any opinions??

Love your dress and have really enjoyed reading about all your planning so far. I have a question about your braclete and necklace set. I purchased a necklace that looks just like that one at WDW but it is not Swarovski. I am planning on buying three, one for each of my bridesmaids but I would love to get them a Swarovski one as I feel like it might hold up better. Did you get yours at WDW?

Thanks,
Linda

Hi linda,
thanks so much. I actually got the necklace at Disney's California Adventure, at the store called "Off the Page" in the hollywood picture backlot area. I am not sure if they have it at WDW though, sorry.

We had Pastor Kirk Bane for our ceremony. He is a wonderful man. He did a wonderful ceremony for us. He has a few preplanned ceremonies, that you can alter if you wish; or you can work with him to create something unique. He is very open to your wishes.

If you are looking for someone who is Christian and active in the church too, then you have the right man.

Thank you so much. I felt like he was the right man for us, just after being able to communicate with him via email. we're hoping to meet with him in May when we head down to orlando for our planning session.
