I am so sorry, Kathy. Sounds like she is ready to cross... my heartfelt prayer and thoughts are with you and Mark each day. gentle p.s. So happy you have the wedding planning excitement to look forward too next year.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU ALL!!!! I told my DH that DIS friends are some of the best friends and he could never understand it. When I showed him all of the support you are sending to our family -- the prayers, the hugs, the good wishes, etc. he was overwhelmed. And it was VERY hard scrolling through and making sure he didn't see my December ticker.

Seriously, you have touched all of us, and we love you all for it.

Okay, I'm going to run and do a scan project and then I'm going to come back and do an update BEFORE I leave to catch the train, I hope. If not, it will definitely be done tonight as Mark is at baseball umpping, and Andy is coaching, so I'm on my own boys and girls.

***I had to remove some of the hug icons to fit this in one post. Please forgive me, but know that I saw and felt each and every one of those hugs.

Alisha is out looking at wedding dresses with a couple of her bridesmaids as I type this message.

How exciting!!! That is such a fun time!

I'm glad Mark didn't see your ticker when you were scrolling through, showing him everyone's well wishes.

 

[mommy2mrb]

Kathy, don't worry about the update, take care of Mark and yourself first !


happy Mark didn't see his surprise...be care though, Megan saw one of my ticker's once and blew the whole surprise

 

[KatMark]

Is it bad luck for me to post a picture of the dress Alisha fell in love with today here for my friends to see?

I don't think so...as long you make sure Mark never peeks at the DIS! (if she doesn't want him to see it before the wedding).

Markie on the DIS???? He thinks I'm nuts for being on the DIS...he said you can't trust those people.

Okay, I'm trusting you that this is NOT bad luck.

Alisha went out today and she found this dress and said THIS IS THE ONE!!! She's still going to look, but she is convinced this is her. They had it in her size and she said it was breathtaking:

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Oh, Kathy, she will be gorgeous in that dress!!

Really, I don't see how it could be bad luck at all...and to be safe you can always delete it in a few days!!!

(Didn't think Markie would ever visit the DIS...but love the comment about not being able to trust those people!!)

p.s. I am already so excited, can hardly wait to see photos of the wedding next summer!).

 

[Poolrat]

Beautiful.... that is how I picked my first dress.

I walked by the bridal store, saw it in the window and said that was it. Went in after looking everywhere else and finding nothing close that I liked, ordered it and that was that.

Alisha will be a beautiful

You are more than welcome. And don't you worry about removing the hugs or anything else for that matter, just take care of you and your honey. I'm just so sorry y'all are going through such a rough time.

LOOOOVE the dress!! She will knock it out of the park with that one!!
Thank you for sharing it with us.

 

[amandaw]

Oh my....that dress is gorgeous! Alisha will be a very beautiful bride!

 

[KatMark]

Update tomorrow; Mark is sick with a nasty cold and I feel like I'm getting it. So I'm hitting the sack to get a good night's sleep after some meds.

Alisha will look even more beautiful in that dress! looks like a keeper to me!!!

 

[jenseib]

That dress is gorgeous!!!

 

[englishrose47]

She is fine with my Grannie Trip as she well remembers Christine's vigilance with checkin our flight status last year !!

 

[Shannon84]

I LOVE that dress..how beautiful!!

I read in the previous post somewhere you said they were thinking about 2013 for the wedding...have they thought about a date?? I say 2013 instead of 2014, because I LOVE reading about weddings

Ps Sending prayers and pixie dust to you guys still..hope you guys are doing well!

 

[KatMark]

How exciting!!! That is such a fun time!

I'm glad Mark didn't see your ticker when you were scrolling through, showing him everyone's well wishes.

I'm glad he didn't see it either; I almost slipped once and now try not to even talk about our September trip too much.

Kathy, don't worry about the update, take care of Mark and yourself first !


happy Mark didn't see his surprise...be care though, Megan saw one of my ticker's once and blew the whole surprise

Thanks, Lisa. The hard part will be when we are with Nicki and Todd and not slipping.

Oh, Kathy, she will be gorgeous in that dress!!

Really, I don't see how it could be bad luck at all...and to be safe you can always delete it in a few days!!!

(Didn't think Markie would ever visit the DIS...but love the comment about not being able to trust those people!!)

I think it is very pretty. She will be gorgeous in anything, but she is tall and thin and she should be stunning.

Markie hasn't met Nicki or Todd, otherwise he'd know how great the DIS people are.

Beautiful.... that is how I picked my first dress.

I walked by the bridal store, saw it in the window and said that was it. Went in after looking everywhere else and finding nothing close that I liked, ordered it and that was that.

Thanks, Pat. I think I picked the third dress I tried on.

Alisha will be beautiful.

You are more than welcome. And don't you worry about removing the hugs or anything else for that matter, just take care of you and your honey. I'm just so sorry y'all are going through such a rough time.

LOOOOVE the dress!! She will knock it out of the park with that one!!
Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thanks, Camille.

You are welcome for me sharing the dress. I think whatever dress she wears that my son will be shedding a tear or two as she walks down the aisle.

Oh my....that dress is gorgeous! Alisha will be a very beautiful bride!

Thank you, Amanda.

Oh no! Hope y'all both feel better!

Thanks; Mark is all stuffed up and I started coughing. We hit the store tonight for some meds.

hope Mark and you feel better soon


Alisha will look even more beautiful in that dress! looks like a keeper to me!!!

Thank you, Lisa. Mark doesn't have a game until 1:00 tomorrow, so he can sleep in a little.

We'll see what Alisha finds on Monday when she goes out with her mom and grandma.

That dress is gorgeous!!!

Thanks, Jen.

Thank you, Rosie. My kids crack me up about some things. When they first heard we were meeting Nicki for the first time, they warned me "to meet in a public place."

I LOVE that dress..how beautiful!!

Yes, the wedding has been moved to June 14, 2013, Shannon...very excited.

Mark is doing okay; I think he is more worried about his dad at this point because his dad doesn't seem to be excepting or comprehending all that is going on.

I can't believe we're up to Day four already of this upcoming trip.

We will get up early and head here:

We'll be arriving in time for morning EMH's. We will first head here:

I'd like to get Fastpasses, then ride. Then we'll stop and have some:

Then we will ride The Land and then our Fastpasses for Soarin' (I'm assuming they will be a short return time since we'll be there when it first opens).

If this isn't too busy, we'll hop in line:

After that, Mark will probably hit up Mission and then we'll go see Universe of Energy which we missed the last two trips (last year because by the time we walked over we had just missed the start and then Andy was due to meet us as his plane had arrived.

After that, we will head to World Showcase. First stop:

Next stop:

We do have a 1:10 p.m. ADR at Rose & Crown, but we are contemplating just picking up nibbles across World Showcase, and a few adult beverages.

Up next, the rest of Day 4. And for those of you who missed it last night, here is a picture of "the dress" as of now (although Alisha says that although she will look at a few more stores, this one stole her heart):

 

[onelilspark]

That is a really pretty dress! I tried mine on in a store up In Rochester when I was by myself. The next week I was going dress shopping with my mom and all week I couldn't stop thinking about that dress. So if she sleeps on it and can't stop thinking about it, its the dress!

 

[amandaw]

That sounds like a great plan so far for your Epcot day!

Rose & Crown is so yummy! But, I can see your point of why you may cancel it.
