Steph and Tom's PJ!1/3/10-WP/WHR/AAP/ITALY-We won Best Love Story! Thanks for voting.

Congrats on finding the dress! You just get the feeling, right? I'm excited for you! The engagement sounds beautiful and you are sooo lucky to have it caught on camera. DF just proposed at Rockefeller center and all we had was a camera phone taking a pic after the fact! I'm not quite your neighbor, but I'm from NJ- the shore.

Did you ever hear back about the construction at the GF? I just read through your entire PJ and I'm really glad I had pizza tonight or else I'd be craving it, haha.

And I think it's so cute that your DF is on the boards as well. It makes posting secret stuff, like dresses, a pain, but it's nice that he's including himself.
 
heyyy

cant you open a thred on the main board (not the pj board) ... im sure DF wont look on it- name it MY DRESS or something hehe.. at least then we all can see it and comment on it!! I loveeeeee seeing everyones dresses!! If you think DF will peek on the main board them PM me the pic!! x

Hi! Congratulations to you too. Yeah I tried it on about a month ago and was undecided and then we went back and tried it again after all these other dresses and it just felt right. I am so excited!!

Yeah-they told me that the WHR&P's roof will be done this month and that they are changing the floors in the lobby which is suppose to start in may and they do it in sections, so hopefully it will be done by january. where on the shore are you? i use to go to seaside, pt. pleasant and wildwood every summer when i was younger. i am originally from rockland county so it was an easy drive.

yeah-it is cute but frustrating becauase i know mainly girls are on here and we all love to see dresses and veils etc. the only thing i am not letting him see is the dress. he will be there when i get my hair trial and make up trial-no way around as we are going to be in disney for our PJ together-lol

I just read your PJ-what a great story. I love that he did at actually on the ice and not like in front of 30 rock or anything=lol very sweet! anything in NYC is great to me-i love NY! can't wait to read about your planning!!!

hey stacey. trust me tom will find it. he is very sneaky like that -lol (Love you honey!!) i will PM you the pic. how is your planning going? i have not had time to catch up on your PJ but going to this week. i will be stuck at work late sometime this week probably and just waiting for stuff so i can continue reading! :) let me know you got the pic!
 

So I made my appointment for my hair and make up trial with Patricia LeJeune for the Saturday after my planning session! SO excited and her stuff looks beautiful and natural. :cool1: I don't need or wear a lot of makeup so I want as natural as possible otherwise Tom might not recognize me!:rotfl: Here are some ideas i like-feel free to comment on what you think. I originally was thinking half up and half down with curls-i love this one:

COuld not find the back of Eva's do but you can get the idea. I have been in so many wedding and not always loved the all updo tight to my head. i want loose and soft for my wedidng and figured these might work. I am still looking so i will post more as i come across them.:3dglasses

I also have been looking at some flowers and having trouble posting them from work-i will post soon.
 
I just caught up on you pj, thanks for visiting mine! I loved your engagement story and seeing photos of it made me tear up! Tom, you did good!

I'm looking to do the same thing with my hair, loose curls, maybe just half up, I loved that second photo you posted and I might steal it :guilty: !

My planner said the next step in the construction at the Gf is replacing the carpet around the stairs with marble. She said the marble has arrived here from Italy, but it's stuck in customs and they will start construction as soon as it's released. She says it's going to have inlays of some of the Disney characters and GF symbols. She was thinking it may be done by my wedding in September, so it should be done for sure by yours and you should get some spectacular photos with that new marble!

Can't wait to hear more of your plans! :banana:

OMG
thats why Im changing it
VIn hatedthe back, because my hair line is too low so when I looked down, it looked likei smooshed my hair :rotfl:
 
so our invitations are on the way! :woohoo: they are not the ones i really wanted but since we are on a budget we had to choose different ones. they are cute. once i get them, i will post pics. we were going over wedding songs last night and i am trying to decide what i want to walk into for the ceromony. tom will be walking into one of the songs from pirates and i was thinking instead of doing the usual bridal march, i want something disney also. my fav disney movie of all time is beauty and the beast and was thinking of walking into that (if the organist at the WP can play it). i am not sure-i figured that would be different and not the usual. i also just made my fitting appointments for when my dress comes in! :banana: things are moving along. this weekend i will sit down and try to work on my newsletter. still deciding about favors and if i should do them. i just really wonder, will people actually take them home from disney? i might just do chocolate bars with our names and dates on it. have to see how much it will be, the budget thing SUCKS!!! :headache: but what can you do. oh i also decide i am DEF doing my hair half up half down. this way i don't have to worry about the baby hairs in the back of my head sticking out (owwww-wooo warewolfs of london-haha)
 
looveee the hair styles! Eva's hair always looks amazing.


Yes you def have to email me the piccys on the dress! Wayne reads my PJ too but he is a good boy and like, tonight i have posted piccys of his bday presents but i told him not to look until after his bday and then next week when i get photos of my dress.. i will upload them for 3 days only.. then take them off - but will tell him not to look.. i know he wont though hehe i think he cant wait for the surprise. hehe
 
So being the shoe ***** that i am me and my friend from work decided to start looking at shoes for my dress. of course i found the shoes i want but a little bit more than i am willing to spend:eek:-these are them

:cloud9:-i love love love them....i am going to see if i can find them on ebay or keep watching to see if they go down. since they are this season and my dress does not come in until fall i am hoping they go down.

i also found these which i think are beautiful and more reasonable

It is so addicting looking at shoes and being i work on in NYC i have access to all the great shoe stores which i will be frequenting also..:yay:

next up some flower ideas...

i found these on one of the disbrides boards and i feel horrible that i can't remember whose. i really do love the idea and it is the exactly what i am looking for:

and then for the girls (whether i have bms or just moh) maybe something like this :

and then use those (if i have my BMS) in vases on the tables (nicer ones and maybe with some marbles in the vases) and my bouquet on the bridal table kind of like this maybe

well i am off-my hellish day at work is over. later!
 
IM LOVING THE SHOES! i just must add that i have these absolute killer heels that are like 8 inches high and are fab!!! Will you be able to walk in them all day and be comfy- as much as i love shoes, i know i will need flats because i just will not be able to walk in any heels all day long. hehe!!

I love the purple and green together- its really pretty, i never thought of those colours together (im just a pink and green addict!)

lol-thanks love! i walk in 3-4 inch heels all day long so i am use to heels. i will most likely get a pair of flats also just in case-i plan on ordering all the heels and wear them around my house to see. i am a HUGE purple fan. it is my favorite color ever. even my desk at work i have purple arm rests for the computer, pens, paper. it is a sickness!
