Lol that's ok...I'm too tall for heels on our wedding dress, it makes my dress too short. They are killer anyway!

I love the back, it looks so nice on you. I like the BM dresses also, they complement your dress perfectly!

Hi Samantha! I like your dress! I'm also jealous of your hair. When I saw the picture of your sister, I thought it was another of you.

Thanks! I love my hair I'll have it down and curly (like it isn't always) for the wedding!

I realized a few days ago that I had not mentioned that my sister was my twin so I thought it would be fun to introduce it with a picture!

 

[Pirate's Princess]

Haha that was a good way of introducing your sister. It was totally a " what the? " moment. Lovely dress choices.

HI! I thought I'd stop by here after I saw your comment on my TR. Congrats and it looks like you're moving right along with your plans.

You'll love Patricia, she is great. If you're not having a trial run, be sure to bring inspiration pics from magazines or the internet. I actually took my pictures to my own hairstylist and discussed them with her and asked " so what do I tell the lady @ disney, what words do I use in hair stylist lingo?" I told Patricia exactly what my stylist said, and my hair came out perfect.

ANother tip- to get the most bang for your buck. You said you're using Randy. We had to okay it with him first, but so as not to lose the Disney photographer we got with the escape package we used him as primary and Regina as the secondary. She focused on photojournalisitc shots of the ceremony and the guests. Not all outside photographers are okay with having a disney photographer there as well, but Randy is. So when you discuss photography with your planner, you might want to see if you can keep your Dis photographer while also using Randy! Then, when you talk to him make sure he is still okay with doing this.

And as for commemorating a lossed loved one... we didn't mention ours in the ceremony, but we did mention them in our program. We made our own, and on the last page there was a "we remember" section. My younger sisteer was listed there along with DH's grandfathers, my grandfather and uncle. It worked out well. One thing I've seen before is people have had photographs of loved ones on a side table with a vase of flowers at the ceremony.

Just some thoughts. Good luck and enjoy the planning!

It was my only chance for a slightly evil twin moment!

I am doing a trial on Friday before the wedding and I do plan on talking to my hairstylist here before as well. As you can tell from the pictures I have a LOT of hair.

We are using both Randy and Disney's photographer with Disney's photographer doing the photojournalistic style just like you did.

I think we're now doing an empty chair with an extra bouquet on it for everyone who can't make it, living and dead. I stole the idea from a pj I read (can't remember who's sorry!) We're not doing any programs as there will only be 8 guests total an I really don't want to name names as I want the day to be as much about happy and us as it can be... not sure if that's selfish but I cry trying to explain what I want to do for those not present and I want to cry as little as possible on my wedding day!
