Our Ceremony is at 12, so I was looking all over for something special to do that night. I couldnt walk around like it was just any Thursday. Rashad suggested a special dinner. My dad just booked California Grill so we can watch the fireworks, I am really excited about it and he said it was something called the "Sweetheart Dinner". I am not sure what that is, but I'm excited regardless!
I also decided that I wanted a pretty white dress to wear to that dinner. I am also planning on wearing this to my home reception and maybe even wearing it to the Magic Kingdom and taking a picture in front of the castle!
Here is the dress!
I love this dress!!! Where did you find it???
I looked everywhere and couldnt find anything under 200 bucks- so as a last resort I found this dress on AMAZON of all places! It's only $59!
Stephanie and Rashad
Escape Wedding at Sea Breeze Point on October 8, 2009
Rashad and I talked for a while and decided that this would be a great time for us to get married, with my family all there and his family much closer to Florida than PA. So we booked our wedding! OOPS It was a perfect plan except we forgot to get engaged first.
yey! Someone else who doesn't have a diamond! lol
Love your story. Can't wait for more
add me to the list of diamond less bridesAWESOME! Sign me up!
LOL Welcome to the club!add me to the list of diamond less brides
My home reception invitations are here!!! It was hard to find something for a wedding in my colors (orange and brown) or to match DFi and I (being an interracial couple). But I found these cute postcards on Vista and turned them into invites- and they came out great!
I was also really excited that a family friend is loaning her giant glassware for the candy bar that I want to have! She is using it for her 3 daughters' weddings (one that already happened, and two in the works). So that will save us lots of money.
With the candy bar- we are hoping to capitalize on cheap Halloween candy by sticking with an orange and brown color theme at the end of october. With any luck our candy bar will be a beautiful as gibsi53's candy bar! (hope she doesnt mind I'm posting her picture for inspiration!)
First of all, how did I miss your planning journal all of this time?!
Love the dresses, love the family pictures, love your ring, love the at home reception invites and of course I LOVE the candy buffet!!!!!
Isn't Alfred Angelo great? That is where our dresses are coming from!
Can't wait to read more!
LOL-Thanks- that's so sweet! A lot of people missed my planning journal-I kinda got off to a slow start
(You're from Allentown? I know exactly where that is, we used to go to Dorney Park as a kid. It's not such a bad drive from Lancaster, where I used to live).
hi stephanie! i love your name, it is my favorite! I just found your pj and enjoyed reading. I love your ring, it is so different and beautiful. those pictures of you, DF and your fam are just adorable! i look forward to hearing more of your planning!
I do live in Allentown (at least until we get married) - lived there all of my life. I used to work right by Dorney Park...it's literally 7 minutes from my house.
I love going to Lancaster to shop!!!!!!! The drive is so much easier now that 222 goes literally from 30 right through Reading!
