I am so loving that pin! I need one now!


Stunning dress, you should totally try more on first.

 

[gemmybear83]

Hi ladies!

I'm not sure how many of you are into Pin trading, but if you are and are having a WP wedding then you might love this as much as I do!

I'm SO buying it in October!!!! I'm tempted to pin it to one of the millions of underlayers in my dress as my 'something blue' aswell!

Thats such a good idea for you something blue!

 

[BecBennett]

Hey that is a good idea!

 

[tinks_1989]

Brilliant idea Torsie

Sorry I haven't updated in ages!! Yesterday was my 90 day mark for our upcoming WDW trip so I've been busy busy planning and got to book a few ADRs yesterday too.

Eeeeee, I can't wait for our trip!!!!!!!!!!!!

Photography

I have the Roots all booked and paid for for our engagement session! They are SO nice to deal with and I just am so happy about our decision already and they've not even taken any photos of us yet!

We are having our photos at the Poly as I'd really love to have the castle in the back as we got engaged at a castle after all, and also maybe we can get a couple with the WP, and jack really loves carries photos with the tropical plants!


Site Visit

This is all booked! I really can't decide which reception locations to look at yet though. I'm 99% certain we'll be in the whitehall, but I'd really like to see some others just in case!


My dress

I'm still in 100% love with Victoriana! I do need to make a booking at the big bridayl store though to try on some more Maggies just in case. My mum and dad go to Barbados next week for a fortnight though so it wont be for a couple of weeks! (Lucky things!)


Bridesmaids

Here are my gorgeous Bridesmaids

On the right is Katie, my MOH, she's 19 and on the left is her sister Hayley, who's 14. I've known and loved them like sisters since they were both bumps. They call me their 'other sister' lol. And if they couldn't make it to the wedding then I would change it! I love these girls SO much!

They both have beautiful fair complexions and greeny blue eyes, so I think the green will suit them amazingly.

This is my favourite dress for them, in my favourite shade:

Although I looove this pink too! (But I think I'll go for green dresses and pink flowers.

[Please note: Both of these colours look way nicer in the store!]

I also like both of these styles as we could have the dresses majority green with pink in the detail: (I can't change the detail bits to the right pink on the website sadly )

As you can tell it's important for them to have full length dresses, and preferably the top one I think, as I want us all to be proper princesses together on the day! I also considered having Katie in green and Hayley-Jane in pink, but I think I want them the same so they have the same flowers and everything too.

First Dance!

So we have our definite first dance song all chosen. BUT I keep listening to 'Can I have this Dance' from HSM and I love it! (Sadly don't think we can have 2 first dances - would be perfect if we have a last dance though!)

Then I think we're going to a Father/Daughter Mother/Son dance at the same time, and we'll most likely have 'Greatest Day' as that song.

(Although we do both love You'll be in my heart from Tarzan too! And it keeps the Disney theme)

Completely off topic but I can't hold it in!

(I've made it a tiny bit on topic as this post has mentioned Katie and Take That already)

I'm going to see Take That tonight (AND TOMORROW night!!) at Wembley stadium!!!! For my american readers here is some info on Take That:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_That

They are one of the only reasons I'm glad I'm English! As I LOOOOOOOOVE them!!

Also here are some photos or previous visits to Wembley so you American readers can see what a big deal the band are here! They fill stadiums this big for weeks in a row on a nightly basis, and the tickets sell out in like an hour!

Me and Katie at Wembley Stadium! This was for an England Football (Soccer) match.

Where i'll be in 3 hours but WAY more excited looking! (I'll get a photo!!!) I think the approach to Wembley Stadium is almost as good as walking down Main Street towards the castle! (I said 'Almost')

And I have no excuse for this one excpet I think Wembley is one of the Highlights of London and it's the best photo I've taken of it:

Tonight we're in the top tier (wish me luck!!) and tomorrow I'm in the middle one.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I am SO excited!!!!!!! I'll try adn post some photos on Monday as I think we'll have a better view tomorrow night when my Mum and I go. (tonight Jack and I are going with Katie and Hayley adn their Mum & Dad)

 

[BecBennett]

Have fun at the concerts! I didn't know Take That were still around! They must be doing pretty good if they're still selling out stadiums, but I keep thinking of all their 90's songs...

 

[Shyvioletisme]

have fun at the shows!!! aren't take that doing a circus themed tour??
hopefully you'll be able to get some pics to share with us!!

 

[Pirate's Princess]

Your bm dresses look wonderful. I love the colors. Everything looks great so far.

 

[tiggersam00]

love the dress picks Torse! The green and pink will look so nice together, Toni had really pretty green and pink flowers for her bouquet, I think its such a great combo! And how fun Take That will be! I remember when I went to London in 97 and they were huge then! I remember buying their CD when I was there and bringing it back to the US, they were so cute too! Have a blast at the shows.
And 90 days i soooo close, what ADR's are you making btw? I cannot wait to hear all about it

 

[tiggerrifficheidi]

The dress is beautiful and YAY for an engagement session with the Roots!

 

[torsie24]

Morning everyone As anticipated last night is now in the top 3 nights of my life (the other 2 best nights of my life being the other 2 Take That concerts I've been too Luckily Jack proposed in the morning!!)

Have fun at the concerts! I didn't know Take That were still around! They must be doing pretty good if they're still selling out stadiums, but I keep thinking of all their 90's songs...

They've come back bigger and better (AND hotter! - you should see Jason and Gary!!!)

have fun at the shows!!! aren't take that doing a circus themed tour??
hopefully you'll be able to get some pics to share with us!!

Wow! Well done knowing that - are they news in the US now then? The tour is Amazing! They all road on a HUGE elephant at one point, I don't know what it was made out of, but it was awesome!

Your bm dresses look wonderful. I love the colors. Everything looks great so far.

Thank you! I was telling the girls about the dresses last night and they are going to come stay with me for the weekend soon as Jack's going away with some friends, so we'll get an appointment all set up for them to try them on.

Haha, awesome!! Do you know what song it was?

So far I've only made 4 ADRs (we aren't on DDP and I get ill if I eat too many big meals) Sci Fi dine in Lunch for our first DHS day, Kona Cafe Dinner for after our engagement shoot at the Poly and Boma Breakfast for after our MNSSHP, i figure we'll be hungry and will appreciate a good breakfast that's in our hotel! Oh and T-Rex late lunch too.

I still need to get GF Cafe lunch for after our site visit (going to get the slipper dessert ordered too), CP breakfast for 8am one morning so we can visit the castle ealry, and Jiko dinner for our 2nd to last night.

The dress is beautiful and YAY for an engagement session with the Roots!

I cannot wait for the pictures!!

 

[gemmybear83]

Yeahy!!! Glad you had fun at Take That - your bridesmaid dresses sound lovely

 

[torsie24]

Here are a few photos from last night:

My boys!

Raining:

The big elephant

Confetti

I was a bit too busy screaming to take many pictures, but Jack did take an awesome video of the big elephant, so when it's done uploading I'll share that with you guys.

 

[Chilly]

I'm so jealous you saw Take That.

Green & Pink are a great combo and will go well in the Whitehall Room. They'd also go well in the Attic.

 

[torsie24]

This is the video of the awesome Elephant from last night - please ignore the screams from me and Katie! We get more than a bit carried away!!!!

It was England v. Brazil - the first ever match at the new stadium - was amazing!!!!

I just got home from the 2nd show - tonight was awesome and we had much better seats! I took LOADS of photos too as I wasn't as crazy and on edge as last night so I was able to take a lot more in.

Lady Gaga was their support act again tonight but she was acting really funny, she must have been high on something. Still an amazing talent though!

 

[tiggersam00]

Ohhhh so fun! I had the album with "Back for good" on it and lovvvvved it! Looks like you had fun for sure Torse!

 

[ghoulish delight]
