Rob and Scott's Big Fat Gay Disney Wedding-TR Pg 92; Photo Update pg 133

[rosiep]

We day triped around Tuscany - and did 2 days in Venice
but home base was Palazzo Antellesi http://www.florencerentals.net/florence_apts.html

This was our bedroom - it used to be a music room in the Palazzo-
Hard to tell from the photo - but it had cherubs all over the walls playing different instruments in plaster relief - it was like sleeping in a big Wedgwood room- And it look out on a formal rose garden.

Sigh....

yeah - it was great!

FYI - Paul and I broke that chandelier -
it involved ropes and pulleys - it though it would hold us!

You live near Lower Greenville? I used to work up near the top of Greenville before I moved to Florida. LOVED it when they opened Central Market. Did my shopping there on my way home to Oaklawn.

Lots of fun restaurants in that area. The wine bar. ("The Grape" I think) had some great food, too.

We live near NorthPark mall. Greenville is just a hop across Central. The thing is, we never go to the fun, quirky restaurants around here. We're funny that way. If we go out we usually eat at a mediocre chain. We like to save our money for Disney!

The guy from The Grape used to be a rather pompous jerk. The chef was a delight, but the dude in charge of charitable donations was a donkey.

Naughty, Naughty, Naughty (ok, can anyone guess that movie?!?!? There is a giant male part in it)........If you like, I can sell you something that would hold you....with just an i bolt in the ceiling....yes, I'm a very kinky girl, the kind you don't bring home to mother .....but really....I have a part time job

 

[starann]

Jealous? Not really. We live here, and will be around then as well.


Show off.....Some of us don't live so close and just have to make do with a trip every other year or so.

I am assuming your have APs? How often do you get to WDW? Is it like.... "Hey, honey, I'm bored, lets go watch the fireworks tonight?" I get very little done at home now, I could only imagine if I lived so close to WDW and had AP.

ok off to get some house work done, since I found the DIS board, my internet time has increased, which means my house time has decreased..oppsie!

Wow! You scare me a little.
I'm going to like having you around!

Mike!- Looks like we got another one!

And Paul an I were very respectful of the Palazzo.
The chandelier's fine - just joshing - Now that rose garden...

Quick wedding planning update.

Yesterday we bought our suits! We should have them back after alterations on Friday the 8th!

They're simple black two button suits. Very classic, very simple, just what we wanted. We also managed to pick up matching white shirts with French Cuffs and matching belts. Since we already had shoes and ties, we're all set for clothing! As an added bonus the suits were on sale and are actually a "trio" package, so in addition to the black slacks, they also come with an additional pair of charcoal slacks, so it can be mix and matched.

We also hit Sam's Club for "Welcome Bag" goodies. As of now the welcome bags will include: sunglasses, sunscreen, bottled water, altoids, snack crackers, peanuts, a bag of "M&Ms Cookies" (Both Scott's last name and mine begin with the letter "M" so "M&M" Cookies were our choice over Famous Amos--there I go over-thinking things again), and whatever we find at Disney Property Control next weekend. Plus park maps, welcome letter, and directions.

Sounds like everything is coming together!

How is the RSVP going? How many relatives are you going to have to call?

RSVP deadline was Friday. We're giving it a few more days, because we got another 2 RSVP cards in the mail on Saturday (people are clearly mailing them at the last minute) and one frantic phone call and an RSVP email on Friday.

Right now it looks like we're going to have to contact about 7 or 8 people on the list. Out of a total of 68 invitations we've received 59 responses, and a couple of "we're just sorting out the details of who's coming" calls.

Our current guest count is sitting at EXACTLY 100 people which is what we were shooting for.
