[pink_tink8i8]

Welcome home, Sabrina. We've missed you. I am sure that once you are immersed here again you will feel so much happier!

Aw...thank you so much. Being back on the boards has already helped as it is such a happy place

welcome home.... hope to hear from you soon.Take care of yourself

It's great to be back!

I've been reading your PJ and everything looks great. I am a HUGE fan of PINK also so I am really enjoying seeing everything you've picked.

Yay! another pink fan. You'll love all the rest of the things that I've picked then.

I'm late, but I'm sorry for your loss, and hopefully we can help you put a smile on your face

Thank you very much. Yes, the boards have definitely put a smile back on my face. Everybody has been really supportive and it's really great

Hi everybody,

I'm feeling well enough to get back to writing my pj. My in-laws and I just went through a sudden loss in the family, as you already know by now, and the arrangements were out of town so I was gone for a bit. Of course this all happened during a HUGE snow storm where we received enough snow to break a record from 30 years ago. After the funeral, my family actually got lost in the storm and ended up seeing various car accidents ranging from minor to severe. Not always a good thing when you are already sad from a funeral but we did the best that we could.
The past couple of weeks have been a little rocky. I'm currently dealing with a very serious illness that now has me in treatment 2 times a week. Just in the past week I had a bit of an emergency with a tooth. I know it sounds like "oh it's just a tooth" but considering all that has been going on, it's just sort of like "what next?" you know?
Anyway, now it is just nice to get back to some fun stuff in my life and planning my wedding!

 

[padisneyfour]

looking forward to hearing more of your plans.... you go girl! Stay positive!

DF has FINALLY agreed to send out our official announcements for our DFTW!!!!!! He has been very apprehensive about sending them out because he didn't want to receive a thousand phone calls from people asking all these details when we really haven't set anything in stone yet. We can't officially book our date for next year yet and since our guest list is jumping all over the place we can't even pick a venue either. In the next couple of days we'll talk about the guest list and send out our announcements to get a general idea of a guest count. I will include a mini quiz because I have some surprises up my sleeve but I can't post what they are unfortunately because my SIL comes on here and I want to keep it a surprise for her as well. I'll post a picture as soon as I am done.
In regards to the general wedding planning, DF and I pretty well see eye to eye which I think is pretty fantastic however, the guest list is where we divide. I've mentioned this in an earlier post but DF wants to keep it small and intimate. I don't want an enormous affair but I don't want to deny people who are close to us to come to our wedding. I'm sure we'll eventually meet middle ground but I'm still not sure where that is at this point. I would LOVE to be able to do ADH or the great movie ride I just completely blocked it out of my mind because I didn't think people would respond well to a destination wedding. Well it now seems that the demand to come may evolve to surpass my expectations. I have family members volunteering other family members and even family friends. I think my middle ground will even surprise me.

You will know what feels right, about who to invite.... who do you want there to share this (your) day.....we have pretty much kept our planned guests to immediate family: siblings w/their families and our parents because they are who we want there. You will know whats right for you both....

 

[pink_tink8i8]

We have finally set the guest list I am happy to report. It is officially going to be
immediate family only i.e. parents, brothers, sisters, spouses and their children; My MOH, who I consider my sister, and one aunt and three cousins on DF's side who he is very close to. That brings the official total to 26. I am happy with this number and even more thrilled that we are sharing this with the people we consider to be truly special to us. We believe it will be more personal and we will be able to share more one-on-one time with these people.

 

[padisneyfour]

Yeah for you guys .... That very similar to what we are planning.

 

[pink_tink8i8]

Here are the latest goodies for the bags: key chains and note pads.

The larger key chains are actually flashlights too! they are adorable! I love them

I think we are definitely on the same boat for our guest lists. I feel really good about it

Where did you find your notepads? Where they online? They are adorable!

If you could please PM me if you have the time, I'd so appreciate it!

I am sooooooooooooooooo excited! I am going to officially start my dress shopping in a couple of weeks!!!! I couldn't sleep the other night thinking about it. I'm going to go to a place near where I live first. My SIL bought her dress from there and I was with her and the service was absolutely amazing! They are very nice and really listen to what you are looking for. They also sell a lot of designer stuff which I'm really excited about too! There are few shops here that do this. If I cannot find anything I'm going to try and go to a place where I'm supposed to be moving to in the next year. They are about a 7 hour drive though so we'll see how that goes but they carry the disney wedding dresses. I really have my eye on a couple of those. I think there were a few other brides who were getting married and moving all in a short period of time also. It's crazy I tell you. DF and I are also going to be starting new careers paths as well.

Hi!!
I'm Pink Tink's MOH/cousin (like a sister)/best friend and I'm jumping on the messaging bandwagon! I'm very excited about the whole Disney wedding idea, and I'll be delighted to be in a hot place (living in Canada, I'm freezing cold from October to May) I know weddings take an awful lot of planning and organization, and planning one that will take place 2000km away is going to be quite a challenge! But I love my cousin and her DF dearly, and I'm up for it!
I wonder if any other MOHs out there have any tips for helping to plan something like this? Brides, what is the best thing you think your MOH could do for you?
Cheers to all!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited that you are finally posting!!!
I love how you added all the "slash/slash" names that I've been calling you on here. I definitely think the wedding could be a challenge for many things but we'll all get through it together

 

[pink_tink8i8]

Here is one of the current hairstyles that I just love. It's a half-up/half-down do. It is very reminiscent of the 40s, if you ask me, but with a contemporary twist and I absolutely love that!

Here is the style of make-up that I would like to have for my eyes.

 

[pink_tink8i8]

I've been talking to DF a lot lately about our wedding and showing him pictures, it turns out he is really repulsed about the idea of anything feathers to be there This is news to me! I've been posting feathers galore on here after I showed him a picture of the feather centerpieces and now he has decided that the feathers need to be "plucked" from the wedding. I love the idea but I don't want him to hate the whole thing so now I'm going to re look at centerpieces. I'm thinking about roses.

Also, we can't seem to agree on locations either. I know it will all work out but it is a bit frustrating. He is really gun ho on a restaurant like Vic & Al's because he thinks we'll be like 5 people. I said that if 5 people came we could go to a restaurant but since we're almost 30 people we need to pick an alternative. I personally like the GF white room or the great movie ride. DF thinks the characters are going to be too cheesy and nobody will have a good time. He's also set a back with the whole western theme for dining. I just think it is really different and from the looks of it really fun!

Furthermore, a ceremony location isn't going well either. I want epcot and he wants the SBP. I like SBP just not a fan of having my ceremony on display for all to see. We both love the beach idea but I'm thinking that might turn out to be pricey. It's $2500 to rent the beach and then I have to pay set up fees and decorations. I think I'd have to extensively decorate here more than at epcot but maybe that's just me.

 

[Mermaid_of_Honour]

I personally think that hair style is really pretty. And flattering on most people too!
Please forgive my ignorance, but I'm not yet familiar with all the acronyms. What is the GF white room? And the SBP? I agree with you both that a beach sound just lovely... There must be less costly beaches, no? And wouldn't anywhere else at Disney be around the same price anyway? I could be wrong, but I'd like to look in all the corners before we let go of an idea that you both like. Maybe we'll get lucky!
He doesn't like the feathers? Not a problem. We'll find something else. Tell DF he'll have a completely feather-free (ie. bald) wedding.

GF = Grand Floridian Hotel
SBP = Sea Breeze Point

Well the GF beach costs $1000 more than all the other sites but like you said I'll get a quote before I go all OCD and have a panic attack.
