Sara & Ryan's Wishes PJ & TR ~ 8/17/10 WP/GF/Marina ~ 1/22 Thank you!

Yay for room blocks! I'm glad Rev Day made your day better! I love when stuff like that happens. Let me know how those dvds go...I may have to get me some. I know how crazy Jillian is but she does know her stuff. That sucks about the flutes. but i'm sure they will have them again? Maybe after the holidays. I LOOOOVE your headpiece. it looks so great on you! The earrings really go well with it.
 
Hi Sara! Wow I just love those high flowers you picked out! Are they going to cost you a lot more than the low ones? Love the headband too! It looks great with that kind of hairstyle! I have tried the bumpits too haha. I love em but am not very good at doing them, its tough to get it not to show! Congrats on the room block too!

I'm really excited our guests can start booking soon! And WE can book our room soon! :goodvibes He is seriously the sweetest man, I can't wait to meet him! Oh man, Jillian doesn't play around. I have three of hers - 30 Day Shred which I've had for a while and two that I just bought No More Trouble Zones and Burn Fat Boost Metabolism. I haven't done No More Trouble Zones yet, but I have done the other two and they are a serious workout. Costco has a bunch of her videos for $7.99 and there's a $2 off coupon, so that's why I got two more. :thumbsup2 I have had a personal trainer in the past and I can say that these workouts are a lot harder than anything he ever had me do.

I know, I wish they had the fancy box but I'll just wait for someone to get it for us ;). Thanks! I'm loving it now too and I really like the earrings. :goodvibes

Hey Marissa,

Thanks! I love them too and I think they will look better in the ballroom. They are a good bit more, the quote came in at $175 each as opposed to $100 each for the low, but I'm sure if I had to I could work with him a little and get that down maybe by adding more greenery. I think his high arrangements start at $150, so it wasn't really too terrible. I may cut the ceremony decor if the final amount comes in too high but right now it's looking like we can have both. :) We could also do high and low, but we'll only have 8 tables at most, so it might look strange. I've seen it done for large weddings and it looks good, but I feel like you need a lot of tables for that.

Thanks! It's so sparkly in person too, I really like it! Lol, the bumpits are definitely not as easy to use as they look on tv! :laughing:
 
Wow! You've gotten so much done since last I read!! I love all of it! :goodvibes Your invite mock ups are freaking amazing! As are the place cards. Your jewelry and headband are so gorgeous! :lovestruc

I do empathize on being unsure with your hair. I still don't feel entirely sure! We'll get it figured out though! :hug: Can't wait to read more!
 

Sara!!! I absolutely love the headband!! Great choice, it looks beautiful with the earrings!!!
 
Oh, I missed a lot!

I love the centerpieces! They are so gorgeous! The flutes look amazing as well! I think a welcome BBQ at the summer house is an amazing idea! The pics of the summerhouse look so nice, and I think the atmosphere there is perfect for a BBQ!

The headband is gorgeous as well! I bought some of Jillians DVD's awhile back, and they are hard, but they did work! I found I work better at the gym, so I got my membership back, but if you can workout at home, that is a good DVD to have (warning: she makes you do burpies!)

I love your headband. I want something like that for my hair but am having trouble finding exactly what I am looking for. :)

I don't know where your "trouble" area that you are trying to lose weight is, but I started taking spin classes about 2 months ago and it has worked wonders. I take it twice a week, every week, and I have already gone down two sizes! Even DF has remarked on the difference it has made! :lmao: I really wanted to work on becoming more toned and it has definitely helped! Anyways, just thought I would throw that out there if you were looking for some different workouts to try! :goodvibes
 
I love the headband, it looks lovely. And those glasses should come in something nice when you are paying that much. My Lenox ones are in a pretty Lenox box with all kinds of wrapping and they are not going anywhere and they need to make it to Puerto Rico and back. Maybe they have them online at Costco? If not, I'm sure someone will buy them

Great job with the working out, I haven't tried Jillian's video, I was doing Power 90 for a while, but I think I do better at the gym. I've been trying to keep it up, but there are not enough hours in the day as of late.

Yea, for room blocks. :thumbsup2

Thanks! It seems like there is still so much more to do! But it is fun. I was so happy with the invites, I can't believe they turned out so well...now just to make them. I do love that jewelry and headband so much, they're so very sparkly :love:

I hope so! I know it'll all work out. My problem is that I want to do things that go against my hair, but I'm hoping with hairspray it won't matter :laughing:. I may do a trial during the PS to see how it holds up if we can find the time.

Thanks Mandy! I was worried they wouldn't go, but I think they do.

Lol, see what happens in a few days...and a few days from now I'll have changed my mind about all of it :lmao:. Just kidding, we're pretty set on the centerpieces and toasting flutes.

I think the BBQ will be really fun. We actually saw a party at the Summerhouse during our last trip and I think that's why DF wants to do it so much. This time everyone can be staring at us. :laughing:

Thanks! I think it looks a lot better on, I was a little unsure when I first got it but I really do like it now. Oh man, her workouts are sooo hard. I'm glad to hear they worked for you. I'm so bad about exercising, I belonged to a gym in the past but I never went so it just wasn't for me. I have to prove to myself that I will actually go before I let myself join one again. Oh man, I don't think I even want to know what burpies are! :eek:

Thanks! I got it from www.weddingfactorydirect.com. They have lots of different styles at good prices. :thumbsup2

I'll definitely keep that in mind! I've heard such good things about it, but I'm sooo bad with going to the gym, so I can't let myself join again until I prove that I'll actually go.

Thanks so much! I know, I was really disappointed when the original box was completely crushed, and then they brought another box but there wasn't even cardboard to separate the glasses. They just wrapped them in a piece of tissue each. :sad2: So I knew that wasn't making it to FL safely. Oh well, I'll hold out, I'm sure someone will get them for us, or we can return something else and get them. ;)

I wish I could motivate myself to go to the gym more. After work I just want to go home as soon as possible, so if I had to work even a little late I wouldn't go to the gym, and it was too easy to make excuses that I had errands to run or whatever. At least the videos are cheap :laughing:. Next workout will be tomorrow or Thursday. I'm still really sore today, so we'll see. I don't want to overdo it my first week and hurt myself.

I'm so excited, I can't wait to book our room finally! :goodvibes
 
Catching up over here!!!

I LOVE the centerpieces, overall number one, so pretty!
The headband looks beautiful on you! Can't wait to see it when your hair is all done for real! :thumbsup2

It is so exciting that you have Rev Jack all booked and ready! :thumbsup2

Thanks for following along! :goodvibes I think it will look most similar to #1, he mentioned a chalice that would enclose the candle and I think it would look like that. :thumbsup2

Now I just have to figure out exactly what to do with my hair. :laughing: I'm still wanting curls, but afraid they won't last...I may need a trial after all.

He is the sweetest man, I'm so glad he's still available. :)

The headband looks great!!

Thanks headband twin. ;) I can't wait to see your trial pics and see how it looks when a professional does it. :thumbsup2
 
Not much on the wedding front, except we're almost at 8 months! :woohoo: Which means the contract will be coming soon and I actually have to give Disney money...you know having this payment coincide with the holidays may not have been the best idea. :rolleyes1

DF and I saw the Princess and the Frog on Saturday. It was great, we loved it! The story was really good and it was funny and sweet. I hope they'll do more movies like this, I missed the classic style animation.

Blah, onto another week of work, but luckily after this week I have a week off. :)

yay almost 8 months! I am hearing you on the holiday + wedding bad idea. hahaha I have to hold off on buying wedding stuff so that I can buy Christmas stuff. :eek:

Me and DF are seeing the Princess and the Frog on Christmas Eve (or fake christmas eve :laughing:) . We were trying to go see a Christmas Carol play but because it was christmas week they DOUBLED the price! yay for having a vacation soon! I also go on vacation in a week. and I even get to go to Long Island! i'm excited :yay:
 
lol, I know, and I just got the LOA and the signed contract and payment are due by Christmas Eve, how's that for timing?

Ooh you'll love it, it was a really sweet movie. That's a great way to spend Christmas Eve. What?? Double price to see A Christmas Carol? That is insane. You know what's really weird, two of my coworkers said they'd never seen a version of A Christmas Carol and didn't know the story. I was like, how is that even possible. :eek:

That's awesome! Have a great week here :goodvibes.
 
8 Months from today!!! :banana::banana::banana:

I can't believe it's 8 months already, it feels like it's so soon, especially the way time has been flying by!

We got our LOA from Disney and I just have to send it back along with the payment. Looks like we got all our locations, I mean, I guess we got them since they're in the contract :laughing:, but I thought she might tell me the same way with the ceremony location...oh well.

So we have Whitehall Room and Patio for our pre-reception and St. Augustine B-D for the reception. I'm so glad we got St. Augustine, I like the setup of that room better ;)

And I did my Jillian workouts three times this week, so I'm very proud of myself and I can really feel myself getting stronger which is great. :goodvibes

That's all for now :)
 
YAY for 8 months :banana::banana::banana::banana:

It will go by sooo fast! I can remember getting my LOA like it was yesterday,and it was 4 months ago!

That's great for doing all those workouts! Which Jillian one do you use? I have ones with a bunch of different circuits in them, and they are really hard! I stopped using them since I re-joined the gym, but I think I might start doing 2 circuits a day when I wake up, on top of my gym workouts. It just mixes things up!

That is awesome you got all your locations! Now you can really start planning everything, especially now that you know where you will be putting it!
 
8 months!!!! it will be here before you know it! So glad you got all the venues you wanted. :goodvibes you are going to have a beautiful wedding. I can't wait to see pictures!!!

I'm so excited! I can imagine how fast it must go, time seems to go so quick now, our PS is in 3 months which just seems crazy to me!

Thanks! I have three different tapes. I've mostly been doing No More Trouble Zones and 30-day Shred. I also have Burn Fat Boost Metabolism which is a cardio one. I love how NMTZ has segments devoted to different areas, and with both NMTZ and BFBM you can choose which circuits to do. So far I do four circuits plus the warm up / cool down since I don't want to overdo it and hurt myself. They are great though and it's nice to be able to do it at home. :thumbsup2

I'm so glad, I was really worrying about that aspect of it. Now we can start doing the invitations! :)

8 months!!!! it will be here before you know it! So glad you got all the venues you wanted. :goodvibes you are going to have a beautiful wedding. I can't wait to see pictures!!!

Thanks Steph! I can't believe it, oh I know, I can't believe your wedding will be here so soon! It's such a relief to actually have a reception space! I know Disney's process works very well but it was so annoying to be like, I'm not sure where our reception will be. Thanks so much! Your wedding is going to be awesome too and I'm so excited to see all the pics and hear about it. :goodvibes
