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

10 more days!

The to-do list is not freaking me out quite as badly today. Especially since we've managed to knock quite a few things off of it.

Here's what we've goten done:
Wrap Wedding Party Gifts
Finish Welcome Bags
Print Labels for Welcome Bags
Fill out Form for DJ & make final decision on First Dance song
Make Ceremony Music CD
Compile list of "must have" shots for the photographer
Finalize bus and limo shedule
Oranize items for Hospitality Suite and pack it (It didn't all fit into the plastic bins & rolling cooler, so we'll have to pack some of it in suitcases, but not much)

Plus, I'm feeling much better and I've gotten myself caught up and a little ahead at work, so I'm stressing a lot less on that.

MUCH better view of things than I had a few days ago.

What did you choose for your first dance?

What did you choose for your first dance?

It's a surprise.

Since we've got actual guests reading this thread, I'll tell all of you after the wedding.



I'm not even going to tell you if we stuck to the three we'd narrowed it down to or if we chose something completely different!

That's a cheat!!! Some of us won't be there, ya know?

 

[rpmdfw]

So then, what's the diffrence if you know now what it'll be or hear afterward?

I'll give you a hint.

The song MIGHT be called "When You Say Nothing at All, you're my Hero, No Matter What".

Or it might not.

Animal Kingdom?

Animal Kingdom?

No, not Animal Kingdon...

You are a big meanie!

So exciting! It will be here before you know it. I am lookingforward to the pictures and details, AFTER the honeymoon.

Yes - lots of head shots - I need more to work with!

 

[rosiep]

Oh Saxton's a BIG help.

Did you just call Sue "fat"?????

Oh No You Didn't......

 

[wallyb]

Did you just call Sue "fat"?????

Oh No You Didn't......

No - but I think you just did!

 

[rosiep]

No - but I think you just did!

Oh Yeah???? And exactly what did you mean by BIG help???

 

[Saxton]

How did I miss this? Here I am, quietly minding my own business and I get attacked by Rosie and Wally! OK, Wally - I hereby withdraw my invitation to the concert and Rosie, wait 'til I meet your mother!!

 

[rpmdfw]

One week to go!

I think we've got everything done for the wedding (except for delivering things and calling in our guarantees), now we just need to concentrate on getting the house ready, get haircuts, pack, and practice dancing.

All while I'm working during the day, and we're hitting the Adventurers Club every night. I may not get more than two or three hours of sleep all week long.

Our first guests arrive tonight!

 

[jenn&nelsonrego]

Good Times!

Have a blast!

One little bit of advice from a not-to-recent-yet-recent-enough bride...

Take deep breaths and enjoy every minute. It goes by so so fast... Don't worry about the little things... There is nothing you can do at that point...

I am so glad that you guys have planned this out so well that the stress is minimized. I know that it's going to be an amazing ceremony for you both.

Oh, I'll still stress. It's what I do. But I'll be able to let it go and have fun when the time comes. That's what's important.

I know that it's going to be an amazing ceremony for you both.

Thanks!

 

[ehstrojette]

6 more days!! How excited you guys must be. I can't wait till we can hear all about your wedding day. Best of luck

And of course, we couldn't go through this week without further Adventurers Club stress.

A few weeks ago, they removed all of the chairs from the main salon. We were reassured by the wonderful folks at DFTW that they had been removed to accomodate crowds for the last weeks, and that they'd be back in time for our planned pre-reception. Cool. No problem there.

Last week, they took all the cabaret tables and chairs out of the library and replaced them with banquet chairs, set theatre style. Again, no problem, it's exactly the way we wanted the room set for us, so they won't have to do it for our ceremony the day of.

Now the fun stuff. WAAAAAYYY back in June of 2007 Scott and I decided that we wanted to have our ceremony at the Adventurers Club. And we decided that we wanted to have our ceremony during the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, so our guests could enjoy that as well. This presented us with a problem. The Adventurers Club typically got decorated for Halloween around the first or second weekend of October. So that meant we had pretty much one option for our weekend: September 26-28, 2008. Which as you all know has been a stressful choice due to the insanely stupid decision to close Pleasure Island. So we walk into the club on Friday night and discover that with their extended operating hours for "Pleasure Island's Last Call" they've added the Halloween Show and Holiday Show to the line up. This is great news. We love those shows. Then we walk into the Library and discover it's decorated for a combination of Christmas and Halloween. Fun for the last few nights. Stress for Rob & Scott who specifically didn't want the halloween decorations in our wedding photos. I've got an email into our Wedding Planner.

Add to that, Pleasure Island management has decided to have their "Cast Member Appriciation Party & Awards Ceremony" on Sunday the 28th. With the start time at exactly the time that dinner service starts at our reception. So we may be losing several of our CM friends to this thing that they just found out about 3 days ago. After we've already paid! They're hoping to beg off and skip it, or make a very brief appearance and then head over to our reception, but they don't know yet what they can do, and we've got to give our final guarantee to Disney, the day after tomorrow!

And of course, as we feared, artifacts are going missing at the club on an almost nightly basis. Someone actually tore a mask off the wall in the mask room! We're praying that the club won't look like a comdemned building by Sunday.



I'm not having a fun Monday.
