11. The wedding that went without
I just realized that I haven't revealed much about the wedding at all. Most decisions have been made at this point. Now is just the time to put those decisions to action! We're coming up on the 6-month point so it's crunch time!
I think a better way to tell you what my wedding will be like is to let you know what it won't have. You've probably figured out by now that I won't be having a traditional wedding. Part of that is because we're cutting out a lot of what traditional weddings in Canada are expected to have. The reasons are largely based on cost and personal preference.
I'll have a list of what we're doing differently instead which complements this list, so stay tuned!
Here's the list of what we won't have or won't be doing for our wedding!
1. No flowers- When I first started planning, the idea of flower arrangements and the cost of floral decorations stressed me out so much that I have decided to remove that stress and just have no flowers.
2. No bouquet- Tied in with no flowers. Both my parents will be walking me down the aisle, so I won't be able to hold anything anyways. Also, I've never been a fan of the bouquet toss.
3. No flower girls- I've noticed that most flower girls don't even toss the flowers. The few that do just create this mess that the church needs to clean up.
4. No DJ- Cost isn't much of an issue. It's finding a DJ that would work for us that's the hard part. Most DJ companies don't even let you choose a DJ. Our experience with DJs is that not all are very good with playing what you want them to play.
5. No venue decorations- We think our church is pretty enough and our reception was chosen because it was two walls of these gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows that look out on the golf course with a fountain and has dangling chandeliers.
6. No guestbook- I don't want a big fancy book full of signatures I can't read and the same messages of "Congratulations!" and "Lovely wedding!" being repeated a dozen times. I can't see myself going through that very often.
7. No seating plan- I've heard the horros associated with creating a seating plan which is why I'm glad our buffet dinner will allow for us to be more open with seating. Our guests will be assigned tables but they can choose who they want to sit beside. We also don't expect them to stay in their chosen seats.
8. No parent speeches- None of our parents are interested in that. I think they realized that only about half of the guests will understand them because they would be speaking in Chinese.
9. No slideshow- I had thought about this...But I don't want to force my guests to watch a slideshow movie that tends to bore a lot of people...We'll have plenty of pictures on our website for people to look at
10. No RSVP cards- We've asked our guests to either RSVP on our website and to our wedding email, or give us a call to confirm. Saves on postage!
11. No wedding cake- Wedding cakes are ridiculously expensive and all because it's a "wedding" cake. We're also saving on the cutting fee which is equally as ridiculous
12. No white wedding dress- I've had enough of bridal salons that look down on me and treat me like I'm not important just because of my lower budget. I'm looking to Etsy now for a red ballgown. (more in next post)
13. No groomsmen tux rentals- At least a $100 for a tux they wear for just one day? No thank you.
14. No matching wedding rings- Instead of painstakingly trying to look for matching wedding bands we both like, we've decided to just shop for a band we each like.
15. No high heels- I have bad feet and would die in high heels. I've decided to wear a pair of black ankle booties with a bit of a heel and my insoles. They're super comfy and I can totally wear them all day long. In fact, I took on HKDL in them!
16. No make-up and hair- Well, no professional hair and make-up on the actual day that is. Since my ceremony is in the morning, we'd have to wake up TOO EARLY to get our hair and make-up done in a salon which would mean we should have them come to us but they would jack up the prices and I can't deal with that.
17. No cocktail hour- Our ceremony is in the morning and reception in the evening and we're not holding our guests hostage in-between, so we have decided that we're not responsible for their lunch. There are malls within 10 minutes of both our locations and have this information on the website
18. No plus ones- This isn't a non-traditional thing as I see many brides wrestle with this. I have stressed over and over again that I do not want strangers at my wedding. In fact, there are 3 questions in my FAQ that deal specifically with plus ones.
19. No matching wedding party- Yes, the girls on my side will be wearing the same dress but it is a convertible dress that they can wear many ways and find a style they like. I have one of these dresses myself and LOVE IT. I highly recommend it. The brand I bought is Henkaa but if you're handy with a sewing machine, there are simple tutorials online.
This dress just happened to jump onto our radar at a bridal show. Initially I asked them to choose a dress they liked but they wanted to match so VOILA! The only thing I wanted them all to have is a hair bow (and bowtie for my bridesman) from Magical Ribbons. This girl makes the coolest Disney bows and I wanted to add that bit of magic to my brigade.
This is all I can come up with for now. Stay tuned for the complementary list that tells you what I'm doing differently!

Sounds awesome! I love weddings that have non-traditional aspects to them. Ours had lots of non-traditional bits and lots of guests commented that it was such a lovely relaxed vibe

12. ADRs are coming!
So, my 180 day window is coming up fast and I have done LITTLE to NO planning! I mean, I have an idea of where I'd like to eat but that pretty much sums it up.
Of course, much of that is because park hours only recently came out for August so I've been waiting for that before I do any hardcore planning, but shame on me!
Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I should rely on these posted hours because the EMH days changed so much before my last trip! The hours also changed quite a bit before too so I'm not sure just how much I can plan. I didn't make any ADRs for park TSs in 2010 because I didn't want to be stuck to a particular park but since this is trip will be so long, I don't think we'll have a problem with that.
So far, these are the TSs I'd like to eat at in no particular order:
-Ohana's dinner
-Cape May Cafe clambake
-Storybook Dining for lunch
-50's primetime cafe
-Chefs de France
-Le Cellier for lunch
-Beaches and Cream
-California Grill
-Afternoon Tea at Grand Californian
-Whispering Canyo Cafe
-T-Rex
-Raglan Road
I'm hoping to eat with my whole group in most of these, but that may not work out due to cost restraints.
What are the TS restaurants that are best for groups of 13?

Great to see you here too!Yeah, I want my wedding to be intimate and fun! Almost all weddings I've been to have been so traditional. Especially the Chinese ones. I'm trying to show people that you CAN have a good time at a wedding. Apparently, a lot of Andrew's friends don't think so

13. Pick-a-pearl, any pearl
Just now as I'm catching up on Lia (__disneygurl)'s TR, she reminded me that I'd really like to do PaP in the Japan pavilion again. I had so much fun on my last trip and it's such a great souvenir.
To be a little more prepared this time, I'm going to buy a bunch of different pearl settings on ebay before my trip. That way, the girls in my group have a setting for their pearls too!
Believe it or not, I STILL haven't gotten a setting for the pink-ish pearl I got on my last trip. Andrew keeps saying he'll make it into a ring but 2 years later, I'm still waiting...Ring pearl settings are not as easy to find, so I may just buy one when I get there.

Freedom PTR PT.2
This will be my 3rd cruise with Royal Caribbean (and certainly not the last) and my 2nd cruise with both Andrew and my family.
We are booked into 4 adjoining Promenade rooms on Deck 7 which is exactly where I want to be! I heard that if you're on Deck 6, you tend to hear the noise coming from the Promenade but 7 and 8 are pretty good.
Borrowed from the internet
Some random women waving from Deck 7. Also on timed-loan from the internet
I'm really excited about being in these rooms! With the great group rates that my TA was able to get for us, it didn't cost more than an interior without any discounts. And we'll be getting onboard credit too! My parents are really looking forward to that extra space and having a window in the room. We've only stayed in interiors before.
This trip was first brought up as an anniversary gift to my parents from my siblings and I. We weren't planning on coming along but it's been over 5 yrs since our last family trip and I'll be moving to China after the wedding so we figured....why not. Our grandpa will also be joining us which is pretty rare for him ever since he started dating again after my grandma passed away. I'm really looking forward to spending that time with him
Now that Andrew and I are registered Crown and Anchor members, we're really looking forward to that special party that is thrown on 7nights and longer cruises! I've never been on a 7night so I'm SUPER excited. I'm also looking forward to all those other perks like separate check-in areas

I'm so jealous of you Yuki....I wish we were going on a cruise soon! I love Royal Carribean.

Me too! This is going to be my 3rd cruise with RCCI. With its great prices and great ships, I don't think I'm ready to try other cruise lines...
Wow! Your cruise plans look awesome! Maybe I should think outside the box and research other cruise lines as well.
Oh, and I checked out your engagement pics on FB - gorgeous!
Yes, you should definitely try Royal Caribbean!
I'll be posting more of those picture up soon!

14. Party through the parks
When I was planning my first trip with Andrew in 2010, I found this website.
www.partythroughtheparks.com
They're all about special things you can do in the parks that generally involve drinking. I thought it would be a fun thing for Andrew to do.
They have this game on their website called "Drink around the World Showcase" which I'm sure most of you are familiar with. Well, in their version, they give it a twist that involves points and allows non-drinkers to join in the fun!
This is the game, copied from the site
I've always kept this website in the back of my mind because I knew it would be a lot of fun to do with a big group! For my group of kids, I thought it would also be an incentive for them to visit every country instead of just skipping to their favourites. It also gets them to try all the different foods they have at Epcot.
I'm also thinking of adding candy to that list, just because some stomaches may be bigger than others.

Aug 15:
-Epcot for the whole day
-lunch at Le Cellier
Aug 16:
-sleep in day (or resort hopping)
-MK for PM EMH
Aug 17:

I tried to insert as much time in the waterparks as I can since we have the add-on. And even though DTD isn't on there much, I just KNOW we'll be spending a lot of time there .

Side PTR-Freedom Pt.3
I've finally finished a solid plan for my port days. I know I wanted to do excursions but also know that for a group of 7, paying the ship's prices are out of the question. I also want to make sure that we can do all of these excursions as a family. So far, this is what I have.
Apr 27:
-fly into MCO and take a shuttle to hotel on Cocoa Beach
-check in for the night
Apr 28:
-check out of hotel and check out the DISboards Welcome Center in Cape Canaveral
-get to Port Canaveral terminal by 1pm to board the ship
Apr 29:
-At Sea
-just explore the ship and relax
-watch the Ice show
-sunbathe
Apr 30:
-Labadee, Haiti
-enjoy the beach
May 1:
-Falmouth, Jamaica
-take a cab to Green Grotto caves
May 2:
-George Town, Grand Cayman
-take a cab to Stingray City
May 3:
-Cozumel, Mexico
-take a cab to the San Gervasio ruins
May 4:
-At Sea
May 5:
-debark ship
-after we check in our luggage, take a cab to the Florida Mall
-we have an afternoon flight so we'll have a lot of time to kill by the time we reach MCO
I've been to many websites to find out about how we can do excursions the ship offers and they all tell me to take a cab to those destinations. All of the ones I've chosen are close enough to the ship that we won't risk missing it and the admission prices are pretty reasonable.
I'm not sure how my family is going to think of swimming with stingrays...If anything, we can snorkel that day instead.

Real life update
Friends, I just lost my grandmother. She passed away just a few hours ago. She's in hong kong right now so I'll be leaving next week to go to the funeral.
This is definitely not the way I wanted to return to China....looks like I'll be saving 2 spaces for my two grandmothers that won't be with us at the wedding.
Thanks for reading
