Thank you! My shower was a lot of fun. That was just the one for school. My other one is July 18th! I can't believe how fast it's coming either. I am excited, but also nervous! I feel like I have a ton of stuff left to do!

I went to Publix today and ordered our cake. MMM, I love Publix cake. It's going to have raspberry filling and cream cheese frosting. I totally went in planning to order a particular cake that I saw on their website. But then, I saw one on display and fell in love with it. Here is the display from the store. I'm changing the colors. The frosting is going to be a sage/green color and the piping is going to be ivory. They are even going to add hidden mickey's on it! I'm so excited. This display is the smaller size. My layers will be the bigger sizes

My cousin came over and put together our centerpieces. We also did the bridesmaid bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres, but I don't have a picture of those right now. Plus, I Might end up going with fresh flowers for our bouquets. I haven't decided yet. I'm going to look in to Disney floral for it. Here is the general idea for our centerpieces.

sorry that last one is so dark. Anyway, I got a lot done today. I'm almost ready to get married. I can't believe how fast it's coming. I've been getting response cards back everyday, it's my favorite part!!! Guest list is up to 65 officially. But we are expecting it to get up to at least 125. Not as bad as we originally thought. That's it for now!

Oh, and one more thing, completely off topic of the wedding. It was Addison's birthday Saturday. I can't believe my little baby is TWO!!!! They grow so fast. We went to MK to see Spectro and watch Wishes. She is just as obsessed with Disney as Ryan and I are. My brother said she was doomed to begin with... Oh, and her latest obsession is the Disney Cruise. She wants to go on the "Mickey Boat" so bad! She talks about it all the time! Here is a picture of her from her birthday party at Chuck E Cheese before we went to MK! She is just being silly while eating her cake.

omg Addison is too cute!! Love her!!

That cake is really nice- i didnt know publix did cakes- how much do they charge!!?? and to customize it is even better!! im sitting here at work and im really hungry and waiting to go to lunch and i have seen that cake and my tummy is going mental now!!

 

[HeatherNJNC]

Ohhh I love your cake! It is going to look and taste so good! I can't believe how close you are! Are you excited/nervous/emotional?!

 

[tiggersam00]

Your cake Stacey! OMG so amazing, Publix rocks! Congrats on your 5 year (sorry I'm playing catch up today) and Addison's b-day, you have had a busy month girl!

I love your centerpieces, the tea lights at the base look awesome, it balances it out too with the tall flowers and the short tea lights (does that make sense lol?)

You are so close now

Thank you, Addison is becoming a handful. I never believed in the terrible two's until now! Publix cake is delicious. The wedding cake is around 500. But even their small birthday cakes are great. You should buy a small one next time you are over. They have the best donuts also, I like them better than Krispy Kreme!

Ohhh I love your cake! It is going to look and taste so good! I can't believe how close you are! Are you excited/nervous/emotional?!

Thank you! I'm all of the above. Nervous for all the attention, excited that I'm finally going to be married, sad because I will have nothing left to plan afterward. It's crazy all of the feelings that come along with a wedding! I can't believe how close it is. It's almost my last month as a Miss.

OMG, I'm so glad you're back. You've been missed. Thanks for the compliments on the cake and centerpieces. I'm kind of worried that the centerpieces look skimpy, but I figured with the candles, and the dimmed lights, and the plates, napkins, name plates, table names, etc. it will be ok. Those votives took a long time to put the ribbon around them. You would think something that simple would be easier, but it's probably because I am the least crafty person ever! I can't believe how fast it is coming!!!!

Jumping in to suggest for your Father/Daughter dance...I Loved Her 1st...I think it is by heartland....so sweet and perfect for a father daughter dance.


Everything is coming together!!! Getting so close! When is Ryan done with med school...where does he plan on doing his residency?

 

[anewmac]

ohhh love the cake!

as for the mickey boat, you NEED to do it.. maybe once she is 3 though so that you can leave her in the kids club if yall want a lil time together

Thanks for the suggestion. That was on my list also, and is another one that makes me cry. To be honest with you, I think no matter what song is playing, I'm going to cry. But that's because I'm a huge cry baby. I cry when I watch Finding Nemo... Ryan will graduate from Med school next June. So, we will probably be moving then (I'm scared about that part, more so because I won't have Disney World in my backyard!) He doesn't know where he will be going for residency. He starts applying soon and we should know by December (I think that's what he said). Fingers crossed we get somewhere nice...

Thanks! I know Addison will love the Disney cruise, Ryan and I loved it when we did it and I loved it when I went in high school. We are thinking we are going to wait until she is three for that exact reason. Not only for the alone time, but I think she would LOVE the kids club! She has already been on once cruise and loved it (even if she was only 9 months old, I can tell she loved it!)

The centerpieces look fantastic, your cake is perfect and your daughter is such a doll! It's all coming together beautifully!

 

[starann]

Not sure where he is applying, but if you come up north (to PA) know you have a 'friend' who loves Disney too! We have a few hospitals, St Lukes (which is who I am a nurse for) and Lehigh Valley Hospital, both have residecny programs? What type of medicine is he wanting to practice (Ob, ER, surgery, family practice)?

Thank you for all the compliments! I'm starting to feel at ease with the wedding. I have always been worried about pleasing his side of the family. I'm afraid it's not as "fancy" as they are thinking. But I have finally come to peace with that.

The original school that he goes to is located in PA. I"m not sure if that's the proper word, but he attends a branch of it down here in Florida. It's actually a DO school, but they are all the same in the end... He isn't sure what he wants to do. I think he is leaning towards ENT though. He seems to just want to do whatever he can get at this point. But ENT would be great because his dad is an ENT and already has a practice established here. I will keep you updated, because our chances of moving up North are pretty good by the sounds of it!

I don't think they look skimpy at all Stacey, they look really nice with the candelight. When all the tables are set they will fit right in with the decor without overpowering it ya know? I like them, (2 thumbs up lol).
And wait where might you be moving too?

 

[MegKate]

The Cake is awesome Stacey! I love it! There's a grocery store in Mass. called Big Y and I swear they have the best cakes I've ever had so I know what you're talking about with the Publix.

I think the centerpieces will look lovely- don't worry about it!

Thanks! It's nice to have a second opinion. I think you're right, once they are on all of the tables and the candles are lit, it will be just right. We don't know where we will be moving yet. It depends on what residency program Ryan gets in to. It can be almost anywhere. Maybe it will be up near you and I can have Addison take dance lessons with you!!! I'm so excited for you and your dance studio. That's so awesome! Anyway, we will hopefully know by December where we will have to move to!

Thank you!!!! I love cake! In fact I love anything sweet. But the bakery is my downfall... It's terrible really. Ryan isn't a big cake fan, so the cake was pretty much up to me!

OK, I would love Addison in class 1st of all! There are a lot of good med schools up here so who knows we may be neighbors!

and the cake thing... I can unfortunatly relate to it all too well... Dave doesn't even eat cake! I get to do the cake tasting all alone... darn! He is having a sandwich instead of cake at the wedding, which DFTW thought was hysterical that I even asked, but they are more then willing to work with me. So my lovely DF will be eating a wedding turkey club while I enjoy cake

That is hilarious! Ryan doesn't like cake, but not to that extent! He will actually eat it. Then again, he eats whatever I make, so when I make cake he normally has a slice. You are going to have priceless photos when he is eating a sandwich and you are eating cake!

 

[princess22]

That's so crazy to me. It's coming so fast!!!
