Even though I still have 11 months left until the wedding, I already found the perfect dress! I found it at the place where I had found the first dress I liked. The boutique likes to put dresses in the windows and whenever I drive by I always look to see what they have. I drove by about a month and a half ago and saw the dress. I went to go see my mom and I told her that I would like to go look at it and maybe try it on. We got to the shop and it was even more gorgeous up close. I tried it on and it was just amazing. I liked it so much better than the first one I had picked out. The material was a lot lighter, and the dress didn't overwhelm me as much. I ended up buying it that day and I already have it paid off. It was kinda funny though because when they went to get my measurements, I needed the smallest size and then they were still going to have to take it in around my bust and my waist. They didn't say anything about my butt, so I guess that means my butt is proportionately large for my size.

Hopefully I will be able to get some pics of me in the dress whenever I go for my first fitting.

WOW beautiful dress!!! Congrats on your 4 yr anniversary!!

Thanks! Some days it seems like the 4 years has flown by so fast, and other days I just can't believe it has been so long, but every day, month, and year has been wonderul.

I can't wait to see pictures of you in the dress. Its beautiful!

What a beautiful dress. I can't wait to see some pics of you in it!

I'm not entirely sure when the dress will arrive, but when it does you won't have to wait very long for the pics!

My FFIL leads a church missionary group to Guyana, South America about twice every year, and he is leaving tomorrow. The good thing about his trip, is that gold is pretty cheap there and he will be buying the wedding bands while there. I had to go with DF to have him get his finger sized and he ended up being an 11; I am getting a size 5 even though I usually wear a 4 1/2. I know, my fingers are tiny. FFIL said that $250 should cover it; I think(hope) he was meaning both rings.

Oh, I almost forgot. I might be changing my wedding date to June 25th. It would make it so much easier on all of our aunts and uncles who have kids still in school. By June 25, school will be over. It is a thursday too! I really hope this works out because its our anniversary too. On June 25, 2009, Josh and I will have been together 5 years.

Good luck with the rings!

 

[irisbud]

Sounds like a good deal for your rings! Good luck changing your date!

This is Sarah's Mom. I thought I would update since she and Joshua are with his family at the beach. I know she would want me too. Well, she wasn't sure where she could hold the reception now that they have changed the date. Well, Kristi e-mailed her back. Sarah had me check her e-mail and I read her the choices: Napa Room at the California Grill or Ariel's. Sarah and I discussed both choices. Since she really wanted to see Wishes, we (actually She) decided on the Napa Room. She had me e-mail Kristi back so now we are waiting to see if we can get confirmation.

Now the question. Has anyone had their reception at the Napa Room or eaten at the California Grill? We are limited to what is on the menu. The menu doesn't look bad. Any suggestions would be great. Sarah and Joshua are both picky eaters so I know they'll have something with chicken. Hopefully the rest of us can eat in style. LOL

ALso, Sarah has adopted a kitten. It's a grey tabby kitten about 3 1/2 months old. Guess who is babysitting while its "MOM" and "Dad" are at the beach? Is this a sign of things to come?

I'll let her tell more about the kitten she's adopted. By the way, his name is Romeo and yes he's a lover.

Sarah should be back on Thursday and ready to update again.

I love your dress!!!!!!!!!!

Hello all!

I am currently still at the beach and am still wet from swimming in the pool! I am here with Josh and his family and it has been a blast. I got to go to 2 Disney stores while I was down here, but was disappointed with both of them(they were full of hannah montanah and camp rock stuff). They did have some pretty cool Wall-e things though.

Back to wedding stuff; I got to read the e-mails my consultant sent me. The first had both my choices and pics for both rooms. I would be happy with either location. If I chose the Napa room, we would see Wishes, and If I choose Ariel's, we would see Illuminations. So either way works out pretty well. I think that the deciding factor will be the menu. Like my mom mentioned, I am a picky eater. Josh will eat more that I will though. With me, It's just that I don't really like fancy food. I'm pretty plain when it comes to food, so we will have to see how everything works out.

When I get back I will try to post a pic of me and DH at the beach .

I love your dress!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you! I still need to get a pic up of me in it though. lol!

I changed the date from May 13 to June 25, and on the new date I wanted, the whitehall wasn't available. I haven't really decided to use the Napa room, it is just one of two options I am looking at right now.

And thanks for the compliment on the dress!

Hi Sarah!! I just got caught up on your PJ and I think I can answer some of your questions from a while ago and recently. I can because I am doing similar things for my wedding!

For the Model T: It will pick you up at the GF and take you to the WP and then it stays and you do your "fake" exit with it and then it will bring you back to WP for your pictures. Then, when all your pictures are done it will take you and DF to your reception. Which leads me to....

Napa Room: I am having my reception there as well and since I am getting married at night and if you are as well you will see Wishes during your reception. Wishes should be somewhere between 9-9:30pm although it might be earlier for you since you are June and I am December. Check with Kristi she will know for sure. The food there is delicious!!!!! It is some of the best food at Disny in MHO. There is several menus for you to choose from with the cheapest at $80/pp to $120/pp and you can mix and match between them. Yes they have a baked chicken, a beef tenderloin and usually a fish dish (varies by menu choice). i.e. on the $120 its lobster. Ask Kristi to send you the menus or you can check our Magikalkingdoms.com.

On another note your dress is beautiful! I love your choice for BM dresses as well, very simple and elegant! Oh Congrats on the kitten! You have to post some pics!!

I hope that helps you out a little!
