Two Castles and a Polynesian Dream (A Wedding & a Disneymoon) Update*Mr & Mrs*

[dekkerdisneydreamer]

Thanks for keeping your fingers and toes crossed, because I was able to get my tickets for MNSSHP! The lovely CM I spoke to said it was good I was getting them now because they were selling very fast.

I wish I could get the motivation to bake! I love to do it, but find it hard with a 10 month old around my feet.

Any more wedding bits you'd like to share with us?

 

[Soopafly]

I must say I do enjoy the baking, lots of goodies for me

I think most of the wedding plans are basically done, our wedding planner over in Italy has been an absolute godsend and has been very organised and co-ordinated. Think we will be able to buy the rings sometime soon, maybe this month.

Yay for getting your tickets, that's one other tick off your list

Aww bless, maybe when they get a little bit older they can help mummy make some cookies or cupcakes

Am hoping to do a couple of updates soon. Got some new clothes that I want to share, now that Summer is almost finally here and also get going with the next Day by Day run down

Is it? Greedy Piglet

We still have some ways to go, but most of the stressful stuffs is done with. Most of our guests we know are coming, but there are a few RSVP's we don't know about. But by the end of this month we can confirm numbers

I've been working so much that I've not read your blog in awhile. So happy to see that everything is going so well. Stef that cake looked really good! Was wondering if you could share the recipe for the filling?

Also you said something about beignets. We eat them all the time and their so good but if you want to make them at home just go here http://www.cafedumonde.com/beignet.html and buy the mix or what my mom does is just take a round buttery flakey biscut dough stretch it to make it a little bit flat and throw it in fresh oil and fry it till it's puffy and golden brown. Then take a little paper bag fill it with powdered sugar and shake it to get it fully coated while it's hot and still has a little bit of grease on it. The line is always long when you go out and get them here so we just make our own. Hope you try to make them as their awesome

Hiya Totally understand, I'm the same with updates at the moment, am just so drained by the time I get home I just don't want to do anything.

Thank you for the lovely comments and for the website, might have to try that one of these days

Hey Guys

How are we all doing this week? Its nearly Friday!

Thought I would post a small update for the wedding. Not much to report like Dave says. But I have ordered my wedding shoes finally! After trawling through so many different designs I finally found the one that made me gasp and go "those are the ones" and they are gorgeous, a little bit of me I also ordered part of my wedding jewellery as well, should be getting that any day now. I am going for something simple, but still in keeping with my jewellery style.

We have two more confirmed guests which I am very excited about and one very nearly confirmed.

Am going to book an appointment soon to look at my wedding band (we are getting ours from separate stores due) and at the same time we'll be looking for cravats and some shoes for Dave.

Thats about it really for wedding updates. I promise promise I will get another Disney one up soon. Also our Cruise window opens two weeks today so there will be plenty updates then too.

Ciao for now
Stefy & Dave x

... I finally found the one that made me gasp and go "those are the ones" and they are gorgeous, a little bit of me .....

I'm behind here again and need to go back and get caught up, but this made me smile. Have a fantabulous day... I'll be back!

 

[dekkerdisneydreamer]

Hooray for the shoes! I love it when a girl and a pair of shoes come together!

Glad to see also that your cruise window is opening up soon!

I hope you are having a great week across the pond! It's almost Friday!!

 

[TanzUnited99]

Yay on finding the perfect shoes!!

Good luck with shopping for a wedding band

 

[Nermel9]

Yay on finding shoes!!! One less thing to worry about!

 

[archdandy]

Thanks It was so annoying when I was first looking because all the ones I loved were too much money for a pair of shoes worn once, so I trawled and trawled and finally stopped looking. Looked again not long ago and found this pair. So happy I don't have to look anymore now

Yay on finding the perfect shoes!!

Good luck with shopping for a wedding band

Thanks

Made the appointment yesterday to go see my band. Its from the same place as my engagement ring, can't wait to see them both together

Yay on finding shoes!!! One less thing to worry about!

Thanks

Thanks I am not sure if the groom is supposed to see anything the bride wears on the day, not to up on the protocol apart from that he can't see the dress.

You must try and travel to Disney during Halloween, MNSSHP is so much fun

Well I did say I can unsubscribe and not look again, it's mostly you posting anyways so doesn't matter too much You can show everyone the dress as well I suppose.

 

[KatMark]

Congrats on finding the wedding shoes. I know you were getting aggravated with finding them.

My fiance is the same way. I would have gladly showed him my dress but he refused. I guess he is more traditional then I am!

Hi Stef,

that looks like some lovely baking! good idea for Port Orleans, my mum leaves for Riverside on Wednesday so jealous!

I am still trying to organise London and was thinking of coinciding it with the potential podcast dismeet I heard about thats maybe the 4th September? Had you heard about this? could be cool, but kinda scary too!

Baby I do not want you unsubcribing, its our thread to post together and share. If anyone really wants to see a picture of the dress or shoes I can email it to them

Thanks, now all we need to do is find some shoes and cravats for Dave and we are good to go

My fiance is the same way. I would have gladly showed him my dress but he refused. I guess he is more traditional then I am!

I defo don't want Dave to see my dress, can't wait to see his face on the day, will be priceless

Thanks Wait til you see what I made today

Yay for your mum flying off soon, am a little bit jealous too. Bet she will bring you back something lovely though. You all set to give your surprise gifts?

I haven't heard of the Podcast meet. There is one later on this month for the new store opening in Oxford St. Tis a shame that its the day before we fly to Italy, because we would have gone and said hello. But that day will be hectic city with suit pick ups as well as nails and toes being spruced up etc Hope you go and have a lovely time though

 

[Stefy]

Hello Everyone

How are we all doing? Good weekends so far?

Can you believe that we are only 16 weeks out til our wedding day. Before you know it it will be 10 weeks

Things are going well here, sorta. Had such a hectic week last week with new IT system going in place, new computers etc not to mention we had a new person start and with that thrown into the mix my stress levels must have been hitting the roof. I was so tired from the time I woke up to the time I got home

I tell you September cannot come sooner, I keep dreaming of the blue lake of Garda and the sights and smells of the Magic Kingdom

Well I guess I had better get on with some updates before I loose you all to the boredom of this thread. First up, I was wanting to share some new clothes for September (although knowing me I will wear them before).

I was pondering the idea of playsuits as they are quite cute and very in right now. So I found these from an online store. What you think? Can see myself wearing these in Lake Garda

This dress I love for the Cruise, very nautical looking and I love the butterfly pattern too.

In wedding news, we have two more RSVP's confirmed. Is turning out to be a nice little gathering number wise

and last but not least I present to you my "Devilishly Sinful Piece of Chocolate Heaven"

This is try number 3 out of 3. The first two tries did not go so well, but this third time truly was the charm and it looks and smells delish, not to mention the amount of chocolate buttercream I slathered in the middle and on top

Stay tuned for another update, this time its our First Full Disney Day

Love the wedding news - finding shoes is always tricky!

As for showing them ..... will you do a wedding update? I guess MANY of us here would love to see you on your big day! BOTH of you, that is!

All the clothes you bought look wonderful - I especially love the "nautical" dress! Mickey will love it too!

And such a yummy cake!!!!!!!! You are such a good baker! Dave, you are one lucky guy!
