N & D at home wedding (6/12/2010) + BLT DM ~Wedding today, tomorrow DISNEY!

Rings
For the guest book I finally made the choice of a life saver buoy ring. DF wondered where we will put it after the wedding and told him we would put it in the guest bathroom. I did not like the color of the straps so I removed them and added clover green ribbon. The ribbon was not wide enough so I put some sheer clover green ribbon on both sides. I used double stick tape to make the new size of ribbon and also double stick tapped it on to the ring. With the sewing machine I sewed it on the original rope and hand sewed it on to the ring. I was wanting to paint our names and date on the ring but one of the groomsmen thought it would be cute to put a digital picture frame in the middle. I do not know if there is a power outlet by the table. My second idea was to frame my Mickey and Minnie cross stitch (it is not done yet but working hard on it) and it will have our name and date on it!

We finally found a ring that DF liked and would wear. He is not a jewelry man and after finding out about tungsten rings I knew this was it. We tried rings on for him at the jewelry store to find his size and width. I am very happy with this purchase. It arrived in a few days and we shipped it back to get it engraved last week. We just received an email saying it is shipping back today!

Clothing

Swimsuit
I found a swimsuit for the Disneymoon at Kohl's. I always like to bring 2 suits because I hate wearing a wet suit the next day.

This is not a good photo but it is the suit on the left. I purchased both pieces for less than the price of one at full price.

Dress
I found this cute pattern online for free and decided to make the dress for the Mad Hatter Brunch before the wedding and bring it to Disney! I was very unhappy with the dresses I was finding so this was the perfect solution! It cost less than $20 to make. In the back the straps are connected with buttons and they are crossed.

I love your DIY projects! You did a great job on that dress - and it didn't break the bank and fits you exactly right!

18 more days! I am not starting to panic yet! I think I have all of my DIY projects done. I still have the cross stitch done but I can get it done while I am at my grandparents house. I have been working on a Disney craft swap on Crafster. This is my second swap I have done that is Disney and this is what I made.

I am leaving Friday night to stay with my grandparents till the wedding. That means I have to have everything packed up for the wedding and Disneymoon. DF will be driving with me and driving back on Monday. He will be back the Wednesday before the wedding with his parents. This allows us not to have a car down there and can fly back to our house and not have to have an extra 5 hours after the Disneymoon. He can bring items I forgot later on.
I have most of the RSVP's back, it was nice getting real mail than just junk. We are up to 83 guest and do not care if we get the boat full.
Yesterday we picked up DF suit. It looks black with stripes but it is dark navy.
This is the suit style but if you click the picture and select the last color swatch so you can view the color.



This is his tie

My wonderful MOH and her mother has been planning a Mad Hatter bridal shower. They are making a hat for me and I do not know if I should be scared! We are having a brunch the day of the wedding. This will be a great start for my wedding.
I told my MOH to order the flowers and I just need to OK them and pay for them while I am down there. I am picking flowers that are in season to save money.
Still have not decided to do with my hair but going to do a trial run next week.
We picked up the marriage cert last week and I put a stamp on the envelope so we can mail it out with the announcement cards. I already have the announcement cards addressed and just need stamps on them. I gave DF that job to lick and stamp. He also have the job of putting ribbon on the bubbles and make reserved cards for the tables for our family.
I am so ready for the wedding, Disney and getting my name changed!

I have packed everything up and ready for the wedding and Disneymoon! DF and I spent the weekend down there to drop me off and I was going to stay until the wedding but I received a call for a job offer in the fall so I will be flying back down this week.
We have the final guest list, paid for the flowers (roses) (do not really know what it will look like becuase MOH picked them out), and found some more supplies for the veil!
We went to Charming Charlies to see what veil supplies they had, They had the perfect one but it was cream and white. We were about to leave and went a second time around in the green section and found the perfect flower! I should of taken a picture of it before but it was on a black headband, green mesh oval holding the flower and green Russian netting. I am now only using the green feather flower and under is green mesh flower with my original white Russian netting. I am thinking I might take off the green mesh flower becuase it might be too much!

Reserved Table Cards
I cut out reserved cards on the Cricut using the Disney font and gave DF the job of putting them together, he did not like the idea of how I wanted it becuase he would have to glue some of the letter in (ex, middle of the e and d). He thought of the idea of putting the word reserved with the Mickey Mouse Club logo in the middle using Word. He used this picture below. I can see some of the family members not sitting at the table becuase they do not know they are in the club.
I like how we are both creative and think the same, the only problem is we have to share the craft room.

your veil is spectacular!

I was thinking it would be too much but I am always wanting to be one of a kind! Now I have to find a hair style to match.

It does not seem I am getting married on Saturday!

Today I went to get a practice run of my hair and I love it! My MOH came over with a wedding hair style book last night and I picked a look like this. My hairdresser decided I needed the braids on the side. We are going to get some jewels or make my own with rhinestones I already have. I was thinking I could get a bigger rhinestone and make Mickey Mouse face with them and get a hidden Mickey in my hair!

I have almost finished my life ring/guest book. I just need to get more double stick tape to tape it on the back of the ring.

My veil has been hot glued. I would like for the hair dresser to put it on but I do not know if I can deal with that till the wedding

My dad's evil wife drama below:
I have been having major trouble with my Dad's “wife”. She is disappointed in me for not inviting my stepbrother and stepsister who do not live in this area and we have never had a real relationship with. She is complaining about a lot of other stuff that is just not her business. My dad wanted to help out so he decided to pay for the pre-wedding dinner. His "wife" said she would make the reservations and plan it out. 2 weeks ago she sends me an email asking why her mother (who I love and acts normal) did not get an invite to the dinner. I said it was her job to tell everyone and not my responsibility. She thinks that I should have put a card in the wedding invites for this event which we did not even know the place or time we were eating when I mailed them. When my dad married her over 15 years ago I had to move back with my grandparents (who live 2 blocks away) because my stepbrother could not get along with me. With each holiday we would invite her but she would make some excuse why she could not come. I think she has only been over for Thanksgiving only 2 times. We think/hope she will not make it to the wedding then she will blame me for her not coming. I am glad we are paying for the wedding and not a dime is from her. Sorry for the rant but I am ready to throw her off the boat at the wedding.

Today is the day I have been looking forward to.
When I went to get my toes painted I asked for Mickey heads on my big toes. She did not really know Mickey and started to paint a real mouse on my toe. I pulled out my phone and showed her a picture. It was a cute mouse, and it could of been one of my hedgehogs. There was a lady who is a DVC member next to me and made sure my Mickey head was the correct head/ear ratio.
In the morning I have my Mad Hatter bridal shower, hair appointment, check into the hotel, make up and then get married.
Yesterday was relaxing day in the pool and running around doing last minute supplies. DF room looks out to the yacht we are getting married on.
I am so excited about getting married and spending the rest of my life with him!
