*Teresa & Greg-7/1/12*Swan/Fultons/GF Marina-Epcot Character Fun-Updated*2/22*

[Shannon84]

Sounds like you guys had a great holiday together and had a lot of fun decorating!! I know I only judge from here and other online networks, but you guys just seem SO in love its so sweet and it sounds like you guys have been great decisions for the wedding and for future family additions as well

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the peacock theme and colors that go with it, very different than anything I have seen at a wedding and the colors are just beautiful!

 

[librarygeek]

* I love the pics for a Christmas peacock wedding!
* I also think a reception at Fulton's will be cool. I've never been there either but the outside looks really neat and the food always looks delicious.
* It's pretty exciting that you're already planning for a baby We plan on waiting a few years but I would like to have kids eventually. It's great that your DF is so enthusiastic about kids!

 

[Jilian]

That peacock theme is awesome! I love the bright colors together.

LOL @ Swalphins.

Congrats on deciding to start a family together, how exciting! I have 3 kiddies of my own and becoming a mother really is one of the most amazing experiences. One word of caution: be careful accumulating too much baby stuff. When my H and I were trying to conceive our first child I bought a lot of stuff out of excitement and it took us over 6 mos to get pregnant (with a loss thrown in there). After a while looking at all of the baby stuff only made me sad and served as a reminder that I wasn't pregnant. Hopefully you don't have conception trouble but I just wanted to mention it. After my experience I forced myself to wait until I was very pregnant before shopping for baby stuff again.

Ok comment response time!

-christmas peacock is done like this

or something like that these are my brainstorming ideas
-thanks for the baby congrats we are pretty excited about it
-it is difficult with him traveling so much but we really work on the communication and we both have facetime on our iphones and skype so we try to do that as much as we can
-the plaques are awesome is there one you really like? and anything snoopy for chris?
Teresa

~Oh wow!! Those pictures are GORGEOUS! I absolutely LOVE the first one! ~And congrats about the baby! Since I'm older-ish (31) I thought I wanted a baby right away, but it turns out that I am going on a girls trip to Asia in the summer and I don't want to have to worry about traveling while pregnant and I want to be able to eat whatever I want (sushi!) so we're going to wait until at the least the end of the summer to start trying
~ And what are these Disney quote plaques??? Can you see them online?

 

[MrsDuck]

I LOVE SWALPHINS!! So funny!

 

[Icecoldpenguin]

Just checking in... I know Teresa has been working this quite feverously and I am thankful for that (I think I would pull my hair out making me prematurely bald if I had to do this).

But I also wanted to say thank you to each of you who have been helping us plan our wedding. I truly appreciate your assistance. Each of your insight is helping us to come up with the best wedding possible!!

Take care, Greg

well hello there Gregory!

Hi Greg!

Wedding planning is making me prematurely bald! Teresa's really got her head in the game-- can't wait to see how magical your Big Day turns out!

Keep her sane and enjoy your week!

thank you faith for your kind words he does a wonderful job!

That is BEYOND sweet that you've come to say hi...

Wecome! We can't wait to hear more from you!

he can be sweet j/k he is always sweet

Hi Greg its great to see a groom on here

i agree having a groom on these things makes for a great atmosphere

Thank you for all the compliments I would agree we really are in love and it is pretty amazing. I love the bright colors too and I think they are great for christmas!

you guys need to all go see Fulton's and eat there. I originally wanted to wait a few years too but I really sat and thought about it and I am almost 27 and my grandparents are getting older. I want my grandparent to know my kids so that sort of fueled it. After that I sat to think about if I was ready for it and I know I still have a lot I want to do but I am ready and I know greg is ready too.

thank you so much for sharing your story with us on here. I can only imagine how that was for you. I to hope we dont have conception problems. We are trying to get things that will be for both genders so we can use them for more than one child. I don't want to buy a bunch of junk I just want to buy the essentials. I am so glad you now have 3 kids! I bet you are a great mom

I will see if I can find some images of them and I will post them. They are pretty cool. Wow girls trip sounds fun I think you should wait too.

I LOVE SWALPHINS!! So funny!

SWALPHINS! that is so awesome!

you guys need to all go see Fulton's and eat there. I originally wanted to wait a few years too but I really sat and thought about it and I am almost 27 and my grandparents are getting older. I want my grandparent to know my kids so that sort of fueled it. After that I sat to think about if I was ready for it and I know I still have a lot I want to do but I am ready and I know greg is ready too.

Fulton's is definitely on my list of places to try! I love crab so I really must get there soon. Good for you, I totally agree with you about kids, I think around 27 is the perfect age.

Congrats on the 5 months!

Also this was a useful thing to share. Even though my planning is over I know I would have found it useful at the time! I had been looking for something like this, finally got something similar from my DJ but he didn't send it until about 2 months beforehand, and I like to plan in advance!

First, a reponse to your response to me.
-I know I told you already, but I am in LOVE with Christmas Peacock! It looks soooooooooo good!!!!!!! The colors are going to be fantastic.
-I don't have a favorite plaque, I love them all. I think I might buy Chris the snoopy running with Linus's blanket for Christmas: our dog LOVES to eat our blankets, and he's a black and white (and tan... shh...) beagle.

-And, I am not having a DJ, not even a little haha, but this list looks SUPER helpful, and I am sure it will help tons of Disbrides!

the best thing about this list is that it does not have to be just for a DJ but it can be for ipod or CD music as well to help lay out the timeline or a playlist!

oh I like the linus figure definitely do that!

Hey guys!

So I did some ebay/etsy shopping and I got two awesome things for the wedding.

I know everyone has been hunting these and I don't feel like hunting when I am in WDW in 23 days but I might anyway. I got these for 15 bucks from an ebay seller so I am good with that!

So I was on Etsy and I saw this pin set and I said to myself how great would those be to attach to the bridal party/parents and couple's flowers. I am loving the subtle star wars hints! Anyway so I messaged the girl because there are only 16 and I told her I wanted 20 so she made me a special item and I got them for $7.50 now what the extra 4 quotes will be I am not sure but I sent her some suggestions.

In non wedding items I got these today and I thought y'all would appreciate them. I am collecting the Funko POP vinyls that are disney they are just releasing their second wave. So I bought these from the first wave to continue the collection

here is a non disney one that I really like that I got

Hooray for etsy and ebay luckily I got all this stuff for not very expensive which is good since I need to get christmas presents. I am officially done buying stuff for myself as of today!

Teresa

 

[MrsDuck]

So glad you got the Just Married buttons! It's stressful having to find them!

I love the Star Wars buttons! So cute! DFi likes them too, lol.

The Funko Pop vinyls are awesome! Nice addition to the collection!

Ps. The DJ worksheet is great!

I love this!! I'm having so much trouble picking songs...I've been Googling all over the place trying to find inspiration on music and what to use for various songs. We may or may not be walking into our reception to The Imperial March.
