Sabrina & Jim's PJ: 05/26 Please don't ask....

[pink_tink8i8]

The invitations you found are really nice and I love the pink ballet shoes. A barbecue party sounds like alot of fun!

thank you I was quite pleased because I paid quadruple the price for 10 invitations for my disney wedding. I think it came out to over $5 per invite

I need to have a major vent and I knew this was a good place to do it. All of sudden I feel like OUR wedding (DF and I) is getting a little out of control. Members of our families are trying to take over. Some are complaining about the quest list and others are trying to add guests. After I showed a family member some of the mickey stuff I got for the welcome bags they asked "oh did you change your theme, I thought it was Cinderella" so I explained that it was but that I'd like to have other disney touches and they basically asked me to make up my mind. People are complaining about our reception location and basically telling us that they really won't accept anything that isn't traditional. We NEED to have an open bar and we NEED to have a dj and we NEED to invite certain people. It is all getting a little ridiculous. My mom has already told me out front that she won't eat anything that I choose. My dad insists that there be sea food and sushi. Not everybody eats that. People are inviting themselves. It's like, um, no. It's all getting to be a little too much. phew..I feel better now.

Sorry about all the drama, just wanted to send you big hugs! It'll get better.

So sorry for your drama! Just remember, it is YOUR wedding, and you won't have the chance to do it again, so don't let the Haters take it from you or you might regret it later

There is just something about a wedding that gives people the idea that they can interfere, I mean give suggestions and tell you what you should eat, drink, who you should invite..... and on and on. Yesterday someone said to me "****** said you are having characters at your wedding, he is just joking right" as he laughed. I said very proudly "Yes we are having characters, Mickey and Minnie." I was also given some advice on the guest list. I say it is your wedding, invite who you want, eat what you want, if you don't want a DJ don't have one...... Everyone will eat, drink, and have fun and you will have the wedding of your dreams!

Thanks for listening

I have a question, how early is too early to call disney? I want an august 2009 date and I know I cannot reserve a date until 12 months before, when should I call for info and that goodness?

 

[Keira1387]

I would tell you mid July. When I was trying for August 2, 2008 I called the last week in July, went to my site visit, and was penciled in at exactly the one year mark. I had no problem getting my date.

Sorry about all the drama!! I think everyone thinks they are an expert on weddings. AND I think everyone forgets what a wedding is about. All they think about is the party and act like the ceremony is a formality.

 

[jennifaerie]

Several people have told me that all this drama is going to be forgotten on your wedding day, whether the people who were difficult get what they want or not. So just focus on you and what you need, and everything will pan out okay.

Thats no fair at all . Your weddings not something you re enjoying organising at the moment its more like a chore & thats when you know somethings gotta give. The whole term YOUR WEDDING should indicate to everyone else that its up to you & your df where you have it, what you eat etc etc. Its disrespectful to you both to have people saying they want this & they want that. People have already lived out their dreams when they had their wedding so they should sit back & let you & your df live out yours .

Id stick to everything you want for your wedding, dont bend for anyone as why should you have to. People should be there to support you & enjoy the special occasion, they re not there to get a free meal. I would just be blunt & say that this is how your weddings gonna be, this is who you want to attend & dont be swayed by what anyone says. Your parents probably mean well & dont realise what they re saying is hurting you so just be honest with them. You dont need to have anything other than the things you & your df truely want. Its your wedding, remember that . You re suppose to enjoy planning it , dont let people put a dampener on what should be a very special time for you. As for items going in a goody bag, what does it matter what your theme is. You re having a Disney wedding so anything Disney goes

Dumb question but how do I get to Randy's pricing ? I went to his website and clicked on information and then a place to enter a password came up. I tried all the other links. What am I doing wrong?

OHHHH thank you so much Vanessa!!!

 

[pink_tink8i8]

Alright ladies and gents I got my dress today!!!!!!!!!!! I am so freakin' excited!!! I took lots of pics for all you DISers but don't have time to post them right now so sorry for the tease. I just wanted to let you all know! I just have to say that my DF is the best! I'll recap my DF for you all in case you don't read my pj page by page. My DF wants to have a nice wedding but doesn't want to spend all this cash to have it. Yeah, like that is ever going to happen BUT he did say that one of the things that is very important to him is that I have a really nice dress. So, we didn't really discuss a budget which means that I'm not limited as long as it's not in the 5 digits or something and that I'm still reasonable. So, I did what any other girl who wanted to be princess on her big day would do... I got a designer dress from Kleinfelds

 

[lov2b@disney]

Congrats! Cant wait to see the pictures!

 

[jennifaerie]

Wow, Kleinfeld's! Did you get to go through the whole Kleinfeld experience? That's so much fun. Can't wait to see it!

 

[padisneyfour]

YEAH!!!!! can't wait to see the pics......

 

[WithDisneySpirit]

Woohoo, can't wait for the pics!!

 

[IndyBride]

How exciting!!! Can't wait to see some pics!

Without further ado, here is my dress

excuse the mess. I got the dress at 10am and had to try it on so I didn't bother cleaning my room

I got the dress for less money because it was off the rack and I didn't have it tailored by the store so it's like 2 sizes too big but I got a fat discount so whatever

My mom didn't do a really good job at taking a picture of the back. The train is my favorite part. It's about 2-3 feet long with pick ups at the back

The pick up broaches

what the back looks like
