Princessdisneybelle's planning journal-SOG July 2, 2007 finally ready to leave

[princessdisneybelle]

Laura, you are AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing every last detail of your planning with all of us. You have been so generous with your time answering questions...oh, yeah, I've read all the posts you've answered to all questions! And you've gone above and beyond with sharing your ideas and your offers to help others. My DF is very impressed with your creativity and taste as well. I don't know how you do it all.

I wish you all the luck in the world to you and your future husband. Please start your wedding planning/accessories business soon to help all of us artistically-challenged brides.

I know your wedding will be gorgeous. I hope it is all you've dreamed it would be. Thanks again!

Thank you soooooooo much! That is very sweet to say. I would love to help you anyway I can. Just let me know.

I'm confused - I thought you had to spend at least $10,000 on a custom wedding?

 

[princessdisneybelle]

My wedding is at Shades of Green, not through DFTW's. My dad and DF's dad are active duty Army, so we were able to have it there. And still be at Disney.

OMG Laura! Your wedding is in less than 2 months! I can't believe it!!! You must be getting really excited!

And I'm super impressed by the cost of your wedding! That is fantastic... you've done such an excellent job planning every detail!

BTW, I love your "what to pack" list. You're so organized! I will have to borrow that when it comes down to my wedding in 50 billion days from now

Laura I saw your budget.. I am wondering what mine will be

 

[AbbyPan]

Hi laura, sooo excited for you! I also can't believe your less than 2 months away!

What are you bringing down to the courthouse in order to get the marriage license? Birth certificate, State ID, passport?

Your budget is amazing, you should become a Financial planner with all that money you've saved.

Haha no you aren't. I have a month and a half left and I'm almost completely packed! I'm the dork.

I spent hours last night cutting out Mickey fans. Eek my fingers hurt. Assemblying them today. The programs will be done. Yay!

Disney Fans?!?!? I wouldn't even know how to start doing that! I cannot wait to see your pictures!

(I have to admit, I do think it's cute to be a little dorky and start packing month's in advance - I know many of us can't relate ) My DF keeps on looking at the luggage I've had accross the bedroom floor that I've slowly been filling for the past 3 months. He must be thinking "PSYCHO!"

Here's the sample of the programs.

Ha I have had boxes in the guestroom for months labeled. I've pretty much bought new things for the trip, so as I buy it I throw it in the box. A trait I got from my Mom. DF came to visit and asked if we had a Uhaul to get it to disney
