Samantha & Dave's PJ... 2/8/10 WP/ADH, PS TR Started Pg 78!

[tiggersam00]

Love your save the dates, and fingers crossed you get to the 180 mark Although I think your wedding looks so great everyone will want to go!

Thanks, I think when I hit 180 I will be wayyyyy to excited to wait another 6 months lol!

I love the newsletter and I especially love the pixie dust warning lol

And Stacey I love the comment about the smell of dollars. I always loved when my mom would go to the ATM and get brand new 20s when I was little. She had me crinkle them so they wouldn't stick together in her wallet. I never thought about foreign money not having that smell, but you're right!

Thanks Becky, its funny I still had people complaining that I didnt tell them about the pixie dust! I was like "Hello, did you not read the GIANT warning"... ahhh wacky relatives!

WOW Samantha! Your PSTD newsletter looks awesome! Congrats! I had been working on a newsletter but yours puts mine to shame

Hey Adelia! Thanks= you so much, I am sure yours will look awesome! Are you going to put the newsletter in the coconuts? That would be so cute !

Very nice- I love the colors and the caution- may borrow that. everything looks and sounds great!

Borrow away! I really wnated a bright and colorful letter and I think I got it lol! .

Love your save the dates! They are super colorful. I'm sure this is in your journal somewhere and I've been reading it for awhile just haven't posted but what part of MA are you from? I'm from MA as well sick of all the snow! Can't believe we are getting more snow tomorrow Anyways I love that your a DIY bride I love to see what others are doing as I'm planning on doing almost everything DIY as well. Congrats on getting your date!

Thanks! I am from right outside of Boston, the newton area. I actually do some consultanting work in attleboro from time to time at a nissan dealership down there! I am trying to DIY a lot fo things, its a great way to save some $$ (as long as I dont mess them up lol!)

That's cool that you come down to my neck of the woods. I don't really do much traveling the last time I was heading to Newton was actually when I was following Tom Brady a few years ago (I was obsessed with him back then lol) Yes DIY is a great way to save money that's partly why I want to do it it's super fun as well. I want the special touch of knowing I did things.

 

[princess22]

Your STDs look great! Good job. Love the warning about pixie dust!

A few updates on the wedding and the trip...

Ok, I have had 28 Yes RSVP's and 2 No's.... should I be worried lol .... I did get a great call from my cousin in Hawaii saying he would be there! I was amazed that he is making the trip, but I think it is awesome b/c I havent seen him in a while, and he is one of the only family members Dave hasnt met yet.

On another note, I got my contract this weekend and have been busy making changes with my planner and Dave. It is a lot of work thats for sure! I was very confused because it kept mentioning minimums that you have to meet but it reads like they ALL need to be met ! That would add like 12K to the bill!!!! So after a minor freak out and call to my planner it was all explained... now I can rest easy(er). Did anyone else have contract stress , is this normal

I have also been busy planning the March trip for Dave and I. We got out ME luggage tags in the mail today!!! That means we are really going!!
We also decided to add the DP to our package, which I figured should save us a little $$ soooo rather then save the $$ like a smart bride, I did something fun .... I booked an E-Pic session for our 1st day! We are shooting it in the World Showcase on 3/30 at 8:45 am! I am very excited about this, I think it will make the whole "I'm having a disney wedding" thing really sink in. WE shoot all around the World Showcase before it opens so we have the park to oursleves, and DF loves WS just as much as I do!

Now I was thinking, since I am having E-Pics done, "wouldn't it be a great time to do a makeup trial?" So I am having Ana come to the POP that morning at 7am (Dave is less then thrilled b/c he will be forced to get up early lol)! I think it is smart to try the makeup out first... just in case... that seemed to be what everyone on here did, and you cant argue that there are some AMAZING weddings on here!

And because I am crazy and our day wasnt busy enough with Epics and Epcot..., I have managed to get a pair of Red Sox/Braves Spring Training tickets for that afternoon at Wide World of Sports!!!! We are HUGGGGGEEEE Red Sox fans, so this is the best news yet! I have never seen a ST game, and to see one in Disney is awesome!! I called in a favor and we have a pair waiting for us at will call

So, that is all I have to update now, hopefully I will have some more this week!

 

[figmentfan814]

I have been skipping around your PJ trying to get caught up on all your plans, so my comments might kind of jump around First, I love your dress, it is so classic and will be absolutely beautiful on you. My husband would love the tailgate theme for your rehearsal lunch.

How exciting that you're going to Disney soon. DH got a card with that pin code the night before we left for our anniversary trip I am so jealous the $500 gift card is such a great bonus.

I had my makeup trial on the day of our e-pics and it worked out perfectly. Looking forward to seeing your shots in Epcot, although I am a little partial to the World Showcase! Enjoy the spring training game, we went down to Lakeland, FL to watch a game before and have been to some in Arizona too.

Looking forward to catching up on more of your plans

Thanks Vanessa, thanks for reading it! The tailgate theme was kind of geared for the guys since they will all miss their normal superbowl party due to the wedding, but I think it will be fun for all of us! Who doesn't love a fun cool1:

I loved your E-pics, they looked awesome! I am so excited to take them, I just want to be in the World Showcase alone lol! Do you think the photographer would take a few shots with my camera if I asked him really nicely??

 

[pinkpixie0920]

Hi! Everything looks great. I love you engagement ring! Pink is my favorite color too. Your DF is so creative, what a great proposal story! I feel you pain about the cold, we live in Pittsburgh so it is cold here too.

 

[lpizzuro123]

Oh - everything sounds great. March 30th is my DH's birthday and we will be in Disney. I made reservations to do the Mickey Milestone Tour in MK on that day. Having your hair done that morning is a wonderful idea. I did this with
Ana on the day of our Engagement Shoot with Misty. Not sure when you arrive in Disney but on 3/28 (Saturday) we will be in Epcot for a 3:00 lunch in Italy and then plan on watching the Paul Revere concert and then IllumiNations.

Hopefully we will bump into you sometime while you are down there.

Linda

YAY SAM! My computer crashed asI was replying to your post...

Can I bother you? How much is the Disney Engagement Photo Shoot? Do you think I can do a wedding shoot? lol. Can you do it at the castle or is it just outside disney? If I am asking too many questions you can throw something at me

How awesome is it that you are going to see a game! I never thought of doing things like that. You make me jealous because my honeymoon is going to be boring compared to your PS!!!!!!

 

[tinks_1989]

Ooh love the new update, how great your cousin is coming I really want to do a e pic package good thinking of having a make up trial before i cant wait to see these pics and such a good location! I dont think you should worry about the amount of RSVPs you have i expect if some people are going to wait till weekend or when they have time to sit down and rcontact you just because we are organsided freaks lol dont mean the rest are unfortuntly lol

 

[tiggersam00]

Thanks so much! He did a great job, I think I'll keep him lol! I am so ready for the warm weather... hopefully by the time I am back for FL in April it will start to get more bearable up here

Hey Linda! I will be thinking of you guys on 3/30 for sure! I cant wait to hear about your tour, it looks like so much fun! We actually get in on the 29th (we miss all the shows that week in Epcot lol). I think we are heading over to DTD that night for some treats! What are the rest of your plans that week, maybe a drink at ADH?
Talk to you soon!

Why do they always crash right when you don't want them to lol! The shoot is $310 and it includes all the proofs and a photo album of 20 of them. (PM me your email and I will forward you what WDW sent to me about it) I think you can so it anywhere on property, but they HIGHLY recommend WS for pics. I have seen MK shoots on the Dis, but Dave and I love WS so that seemed to work for us. They said they try to only do WS shoots now because you can be the only ones in the pics whereas at MK there will always be people behind you.
And your honeymoon will be amazing, I just happend to luck out with the game! Actually my PS isn't until August, this is just a fun trip. We are staying with my folks off site in Aug for out 1st family vacation with DM, DD, DB, DF and I, so we will mostly be relaxing at the pool (not too many parks )
But PM me and I will send you the stuff they sent me, it has the contacts name and info too if you want to call her, her name is Karen and she is super nice!

haha you are too funny! I will def post pics when they get sent to me! I think the hard part is going to be choosing the countries we want to take pics in (I want them all lol). I also got an RSVP today from another cousin so I think they will trickle in....

 

[tiggersam00]

Ok I am a total geek but here goes... my cousin just RSVP'd for her and her 3 year old daughter (she will be 4 by the wedding). She said her daughter is so excited and really wants to get a princess makeover (BBB)... Now heres the backstory... Dave has literally had to drag me out of BBB because I wanted to get a princess makeover too .
So I asked my cousin if I could go with them when they go so I can at least see it done! Her daughter was so excited that we have decided to make it a girls day and go to BBB and then lunch at DTD... I know it is sooooo far away but I am sooooo excited.

Ok Nerd Alert over....

No there is not an age limit at BBB... my mind is turning now! Work always drags when Disney is close by... 10 days!!!!

 

[spacerangerqueen]

You girls are cracking me up with all the BBB talk! I've seen quite a few adults who have been there. They actually had to change the rules and allow adults in costume because they were getting too many teenagers and Bachelorette parties etc. That wanted to wear their princess dresses to the parks after having the BBB makeover.

yey for getting E-pics done Sam! I need to drag DF to some kind of photo session lol.
