HAPPY WEDDING DAY!! HAPPY WEDDING DAY!!
Hope you have a wonderful time sweetheart xxx

Thank you!

So, my hair is done. It looks great and the girl that did it was a sweetheart! Came home, and dad is MIA! He left a note..."Had to go do something. Will be back about 3 or 4." DF gets here at 4. Photographer gets here at 4. People start coming at 4:30. Wedding at 5! UM WTD! *sigh* not much I can do about that now I guess. But this is going to be a pain in the rump! Oh well.
(thank goodness we get a re-do in a year!)

 

[BecBennett]

yeesh! I can't believe he did that! In true dad fashion he's thinking "Wedding's at 5... Takes me 10 minutes to get ready... Plenty of time!"

I hope everything went great!

Hey Mrs!!

Glad you had a great time and everything went well. We are leaving on Friday morning so PLEEEEEASE PLEEEEEASE trya d get photos on before then. I can't wait until the new year to see them!!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

So, let's see...Last we heard from the Bride FOB was MIA...UTOH. Mom and I pretty much stood around. Talked and what not. Then, it was time for me to get my make-up on...Now, if you recall, the spa I usually go to is closed on Monday. No problem right-I could do it myself. Cover Girl has this new line out with the right colors and directions...I could follow a diagram-it was kind of like paint by numbers...what the heck-why not. I was sooo tired that the bags under my eyes were terrible! So, I get all my new make-up together-not even out of the package yet and start to get ready. I put my concealer on in hopes to cover up the bags...Put on the #1 shadow...ok put on the #2 shadow-So far no problems. Put on the #3 shadow and um..No this isn't going to work...Take it all off. Start over. Concealer #1 #2 #3 #4 and eyeliner...This brought on the second "MOM!!!" (the first was putting on the eye shadow a second time in between #2 and #3) Mom comes upstairs...Does this look ok? Um No. Nothing like you. Great. At this point I've had it. Word to the wise...don't try to put on a new make up ensemble for the first time on your wedding day...I scrapped the idea and then used my regular everyday stuff.

(More to come...I'm getting sleepy!)

 

[BecBennett]

HAHA!! That's just like something I'd do, I'm no good with makeup any time, let alone when trying to do something new!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

So, now we get on the dress. Mom had taken the dress to be "steamed" but soemthing tells me they pressed it??? So, I put it on and then mom zips it up...and she gets is stuck! BAD! So, mom fiddles with it...then she says "Duck" My mother swear-this was interesting. She said it more than once too. I told her she had to be careful with the zippers -she says she was but it just went up so easily. AUGH! So, I flip the dress around get it unstuck. Twist it back and she finishes zipping it the rest of the way.


2010 Wedding Update
So, December 1 I email my WC and asked how 11/30/2010 was looking...DANG Escape wedding wait! Anyway...The only times left are 10:00 and 2:30 at the WP!!! NONE OF THEM ARE ON DIS....AND IF THEY ARE THEY HAVEN'T POSTED ON THE COMPILED LIST!!! On the flip side the 2:30 is choice #1 and the 10 is choice #2...Now, I sit and wait...

Now waiting...Yes, that is what I am use to. I'm still waiting to hear on the job as well. *sigh*

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

i promise...photos...Soon...the girl that took them is still working on them...I've seen them with some light fixes and they look ok...For a home wedding.

Anyway, FOB decides to grace us with his presence. He apparently had some issues with him motor cycle and had to go to the shop. However, he got dressed prior to leaving for the shop so he was ready to go.

I finish getting ready and my mother tells me to hide in her room...My old childhood room has been made into my fathers personal closet... Then, I hear my father open the door and say "Hi. Welcome to the funeral home." Funny dad...but not cool...He can get a little over the top sometimes...drives me nuts but what ever. The photographer was here...She came up and took some pics. (To be posted when I get them back) I told her to go downstairs and take pics ...just to have fun...She got an awesome of on DH (HA I CAN SAY THAT NOW) My mom went and got my MIL and brought her upstairs...What ever. Everyone was there...even DF's bro who is usually late...He was there before everyone else! Um but the officiant was missing...

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

So, mom starts to panic...What was the last time I talked to the officiant...Um...Thursday. He was all set. Now, remember, his last class ended at 3:45 then he had to drive home and change blah blah blah...Then, drive to my parents house. This takes time-relax.
My mom brought MIL up to see me. At this point the urge to puke had gone and I was playing on my iphone. Both mothers flipped and said "Why is that still on." I said that DH probably had his on too!" I text messaged him and sure enough-he did!!!

So, mom and MIL go downstairs. Mom lined everyone up the way she wanted them. Dad came upstairs. It was go time..Until we heard DF say "Hang on! Not ready yet!" Um...Ok....A little back story...The night before DH dropped me off at my parents house. We brought everything with us, including our rings. We placed the rings in a specific place so DH would not forget him. Well, they got everyone in place, and my mother looked at him and asked if he had the rings. This is when he realized...um...he didn't! So, he needed to get them.

Once that was set up and ready to go, dad and I headed down the stairs and we were off. We ended up walking the path I didn't want to take-but at that point there was nothing I could do about it (long story) I got to DH, handed my flowers to his g-ma and the ceremony started.

Dad went to give me away, shook DH's hand and then whispered, "I know I got the golfballs, but you got the better deal here." I thought that was cute. DH's dowry for me was a box of a certain kind of golfball. So, it worked.

The ceremony went well. I didn't cry! I said my vows and he said his. We exchanged rings. We had written in the ring part to remember what kind of a pain in the butt it was to find the perfect rings. Apparently, the officiant asked DH who wrote this. DH said both of us. The officiant wanted to make sure that DH hadn't written it in on his own. Nope -that was both of us!

We adjorned and DH dragged his grandparents up to the kitchen to sign the paperwork. We were official! We went to diningroom and ate. Dad made a toast that was very sweet.

Next, came the cake cutting. This was a bit of a disaster. More or less b/c I tried to feed him at the same time he tried to feed me...I got cake. He didn't. So, I got a re-do and got to feed him a second time.

It all went by so fast, and it was pretty simple. I'm really looking forward to the Disney wedding even more!

Photo's will be up as soon as I get them!!!

 

[BecBennett]

Well it didn't sound like it went off without a hitch, but it sounds like you really enjoyed yourself!

I can't wait to see pics!

I hope you get your date, 4 months is going to seem like an eternity to wait to find out if you get it!


Plenty of

 

[polynesianbride]

Oh I'm just dying to see pics! Maybe all the hitches happened at this one so your Disney wedding will be perfect!!!!

Thank you for the pixie dust! They were little speed bumps I guess. Our DFTW I will have complete control over and a WP to back me (insert kung foo smiley here!)
And yes...4 months is going to be a LONG time...AND there are only 2 time spots open...*panic*

Oh I'm just dying to see pics! Maybe all the hitches happened at this one so your Disney wedding will be perfect!!!!

Thanks. Like I said before-all will be accounted for by either myself or WP.

So, DH was talking to his mother last night and she wants me to send her planning info...UM...I explain to him that I was going to put together a planning kit and newsletter b/c I feel like they aren't excited about the Disney Wedding. I was going to boycott this idea when they started in with their drama-but I already had stuff to do it and then rest of the stuff was either A. REALLY REALLY CHEAP or B. FREE! *sigh* So, I'm gonna do it. DH's response was "Just give them our TA's number. You're not the TA." I guess I just feel like I have to get the ball rolling.

In other news. I still haven't been let go from my photography job-which is good. I haven't heard from the hospital job-although their website says that my application is still in progress. *sigh* I am learning to be a patient person but it is not easy. This is me laughing at myself

I guess that is all for now...off to get ready for work...*smile*

 

[BecBennett]

That's good that you're still able to save for your wedding with your photography job. Hopefully you'll hear about something more secure soon.

I'm planning on doing a bit of a planning kit for my guests too, mainly a big sort of news letter and maybe if I have the time and patience, I'll burn DVDs for everyone with some good Disney Travel shows that I've gathered over the years.

I was planning on just copying the disney planning DVD that you can order (I figure if it's free, this isn't really copy write infringement... ) but how crap is that DVD??? It has no information at all!!!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Bec don't give me anymore ideas...I'd just use the parts of the planning video that I want them to see
