AMAZING! i love michael, haha! my MOH and I sang Billie Jean kareokee at my engagement party

my dad doesn't know the song, he is probably just going to roll his eyes when he finds out.

Also, this is how I am getting my hair cut the day after the wedding at the Ivy Trellis salon at the Grand Floridian.

I'm almost more excited for that than the wedding!

As for the favors I am ordering the white chocolate Cinderella slippers.

Here is the slipper in a dessert presentation

Mine are going to be individually wrapped and filled with mints. They are going to be set up at Ohana for the reception dinner. They will look so amazing!

 

[aduck126]

I officially yesterday booked my hair appointment at Ivy Trellis. I hope they are good there. Everyone is like freaking out about me cutting my hair so short except me. When I told the lady that it is the day after my wedding she replied in a very monotone un-disney type way "yah, we hear that alot." Excuse me crabby lady, I'm excited about it, sorry to bother you. I hope they are good there, from the pictures I have seen online they all seem to be really old and I dont want my hair to look like a grandma. we'll see how it goes

 

[aduck126]

I AM GETTING SO EXCITED! I am going to order from Rosie hot pink and light pink rose petals to toss as we exit because I just love everyones pictures of this. I think I am going to do the basket option instead of the cones. 2.50 vs. 6.00???? I'll go the cheap route!

 

[aduck126]

I have not recieved my head band yet from ebay! I'm so excited to get it and try it on and post pictures. It better come next week! I bought it almost 2 weeks ago, and I'm getting ancy for more sparkles!!!! :

 

[aduck126]

I decided to not go with the wanderfuls. Since we are not really having a formal reception there was really no need to order them. I really dont think with all the food at Ohana there would even be room for them on the table. Plus all the wine too. Which I am torn on. I was originally going to do 5 bottles white and 5 bottles red. But DF says that you should always order more white than red because people generally drink white wine. I myself am a red wine drinker so I'm biased. I dont know what to do. I might do 6 white and 4 red. I actually might drink white too just incase I spill. I dont know how I should split it.

I have the same headpiece! It is very sparkly so I don't think you'll be disappointed. Be sure to keep everything pushed in like in the photo, otherwise the side accent can look pretty large.

I love the rose petal tosses too and it will be fine in the basket, as much as I like the cones they'll really just get thrown out so no need to spend so much on them.

The favors are really cute. I'm sure they'll do a fine job at Ivy Trellis. It's a shame that lady was crabby!

All your plans sound great!

 

[aduck126]

Thanks for stopping by Pezaddict! Good to hear some positive reinforcement

Okay.... I'm not sure how I missed your PJ... You're getting married the week before me... and you live right across town from me! And I also have 11 wide shoes and I'm 5'1" and we just bought a house. Freaky.

Your headband looks great - hopefully it gets here soon.

Your favors will be awesome! And I'm totally with you, I want to get my hair cut right after the wedding. That cut is so cute. I agree, I think they'll be great at the Ivy Trellis. I wouldn't worry about grandma hair - I'm sure they'll be fine.

Love all your plans so far!

I have the same head piece to. When you first get it it seems a bit bigger then in the picture but I am sure once we get our hair done it will look great. I got my hair cut off at the Ivy Trellis salon when I was down there last year for my birthday. The lady I had was very nice and did a good job but the salon its self is no different then going some where at home. Its nothing special but its in the Grand Floridian!

okay good to know about the head piece, I wont freak out when I see it and it looks massive!

aw darn, I had illusions of grandeur about Ivy Trellis. I dont know what I was expecting but I guess something really unique because it is the best salon in disney. I saw that the prices are really reasonable, they are the same as I pay for the salon here. I was probably expecting some big lavish space and a musical number to be performed throughout my hair cut

52 DAYS LEFT!!!

 

[aduck126]

I'm still waiting on my floral BEO from Rosie. I keep trying to figure out how much it will be in my head but I feel like I am forgetting stuff or something. I have a fear that it is going to be like A LOT of money. But all I have are 4 boutinneres, 2 triple rose wands, 2 corsages, the basket of rose petals, and 31 cinderella slippers. Maybe like 1,000.00 I just dont want to be suprized by a really high number.

In other news for my birthday next weekend I made reservations at The Melting Pot! I'm so pumped I've only been there once years ago, and i remember really liking it at the time. Our usual place hasn't been good the last couple times so we need to branch out and try something different.

 

[Pirate's Princess]

Hey Amanda! I just got caught up. Hopefully your headband will be in soon, but you've got enough time so don't worry. Everything sounds really good so far. I don't think the floral BEO should be too high, but I think any BEO is rather shocking.

I can't believe it's going to be here so soon. And I'm just missing your wedding. I leave WDW on the 12th.

 

[pezaddict231]

Ooh I love the melting pot and so does my DF, you'll have a great time. It's really a nice relaxing dinner. We really love the white chocolate fondues....so good! I've had milk chocolate based a few times but after the white chocolate there's no going back!

I feel like the BEO's are always shockers, but I think your estimate seems pretty reasonable!

 

[aduck126]

AW thats sad! I get there on the 11th so maybe we will pass by each other and I'll yell PIRATE'S PRINCESS! and you can yell back ADUCK!!! and then our DF's will look at each other like they just missed something

 

[aduck126]

ugh, I am so close to my goal weight I can taste it! Actually my taste buds have probably become under developed from eating card board tasting diet food for so long, so that statement is inaccurate. I have 9 lbs left, but there is a problem. This week is thanks giving - a week later, my birthday 12/6 - then christmas - then jons birthday 1/7 - then the wedding! It is going to be REALLY hard to lose weight during all those celebration dinners. I just have to stay motivated and get right back on the band wagon.

I also decided to take out some student loan money for "school" yesterday. After going over everything my DF and I saw that things were going to be pretty tight around wedding time. We really want to have an awesome vacation in disney and not really worry about our spending so I did it so that we could have that extra cushion to enjoy ourselves.

DF would definitely look at me funny if I yelled out ADUCK! He'll probably be like where's a duck? I crack myself up.

BTW, we're almost birthday twins too! Mine is the 5th! I'm sure you'll be good over the holidays. Sometimes it's good to increase the calories a little bit. It reminds the body you're not starving. Just calculate the extra food/calories into your diet. Don't start yourself, but don't over indulge either. Workout a little more. Maybe eat a little healthier (which can be difficult) for the other meals. You can definitely make it and still have your cake!

Amanda -

If you're still interested in the blankets, there are a TON at the Miller Parkway Target.

I found out they're supposed to be dog blankets It even says "for dogs" on the packaging... so I'll be re-packaging them They're 39" x 37"


Good luck on the weight loss. I know it can be so hard with all those yummy celebration dinners!

I went to the miller park target tonight! I looked all over the 1$ racks for the blankets but didn't see any. But I skipped over the dog area thats probably why , they did have these nice disney tins, pen packets, and mini notebooks for 1$ that I really wanted to buy but could not think of a use for. I knew if I came home with a bunch of 1$ disney junk my DF probably would not be too pleased with me
