Wishes Wedding 1/17/11-WP/CG-TR Day 6, Last Day

[smileycrissy]

You're so silly, of course we're still following you.

LOL, I hear ya about getting 'trapped' in one section of these forums. It's happened to me many times, especially in the weddings. You go from one thread to another to another etc.

Great deals on the florals.

Yeah, you know I agree with skipping the carpet at WP. It truely doesn't make sense to spend that money on something that you are literally walking once in each direction. I seriously doubt you'll get your dress dirty in that time frame.

Any ideas on what kind of wedding bands or earrings you are interested in?

I'm going to PM you a thread I found on here a few months back that offered some discounted pricing on hotels. Maybe you can use it to book your one night in Miami.

Hey girl, thank you so much for those links! Once I figure out exactly how to get the discount for the hotels, I'm going to book my stay! I really appreciate the info, especially since all of the hotels in Miami are super expensive.

I have no idea what kind of earrings to get...I don't wear any jewelry so it's kind of stressing me out thinking about it. I think since my dress has so much beading on it that I should probably get a simple drop earring with just one shiny diamond type thing at the end. Don't know what you'd call it but I know I've seen something like that before lol.

Maybe you could check QVC or Home Shopping Network for something. My future sis-in-law LOVES (and I mean LOVES) to watch those channels. She'll call me from time to time so we can watch the shows together. I was on the website the other day (yeah, she called me for my opinion on some jewelry on the site ) and they had some nice selections in the clearance area.

Although that got me to thinking, wouldn't it be funny & cute for you to wear Mickey earrings?

I haven't thought to check those channels..probably because I was banned from watching anything similar to that by Eddie. If I see infomercials or home shopping, I'm immediately sold on whatever it is they're selling. haha I do really love those mickey earrings! I wonder if I could get away with wearing them, if they come in silver/whitegold?

Woo! Looks like we picked a good day! Thanks!

I saw you on the January POP thread and followed you over here. I just wanted to say congrats and you picked an awesome day, My Birthday. I will be in WDW less than a week after "our" day. LOL.

Thanks for stopping by! I'm definitely hoping you have an awesome birthday! Can't wait to go back to Disney!

We bought our wedding bands...mine we bought a few weeks ago, it's expected to arrive in the store on Saturday! We bought Eddie's on Sunday, and yesterday I got a call that it was ready to be picked up! Yay!

So here's a couple of pics:

He didn't go the traditional route with his ring, but we absolutely love it. When he first said he wanted a black ring, I thought he was kidding. All I was picturing was a very "goth" looking ring, but once I saw what he was talking about, I fell in love with it. It's perfect for him.

I will post my ring once we receive it!

 

[smileycrissy]

Oooh, can't wait to see your ring.

I like his ring. It's different.

LOL, are you going to be able to resist wearing the rings now (well at least when you finally get yours in)?

 

[Jules~Marie]

So we went yesterday to pick up my ring. No, we can't resist wearing them! haha Eddie especially wants to wear his. I'm a little nervous about mine. I feel like the silver doesn't match or something. I don't know. I think I'm just being too critical, it looks fine.

I like it. I just need to get it centered. On a side note we're getting married in 75 days!!!! Where did this year go?!?!?!

 

[Kristinella]

Your wedding bands look great! Very nice

You are getting so close...looking forward to more updates!!! Congrats!

Thank you! I honestly cannot believe how close we're getting! Hopefully I'll have some interesting/good things to post about soon. A lot of stuff is going to start happening real soon, like dress fittings and welcome bags and all that fun stuff. It's so exciting!!

 

[smileycrissy]

WOW!! Your wedding band is beautiful.

LOL, you're going to blink and next thing you know you'll have a week left to the wedding.

 

[NOMNOMNOMS]

I just caught up on your PJ! Everything is amazing so far...I'll definitely be following along. Our wedding is in April, 2011. I love seeing how far other brides are along on their planning since i feel I'm way behind... I can totally sympathize with paying for everything. We are also in the same boat. Thanks for all the budget tips BTW!

Thanks! I know, I was telling DF that it feels like we slept right through this year. It's strange how quickly time is passing. But it's so exciting!!!!

Thank you! I feel like I'm always way behind everyone else, especially after reading these boards, but I guess everyone just does everything at their own pace. The budget thing is definitely a big stress. We were right on track when we made our minimum payment to Disney, now it just feels like we're trying to keep our heads above water. It's ok though, I've taken on the belief that everything will just work out. haha We're blindly moving forward. Probably not the smartest thing, but what else can ya do? Good luck with everything, and congrats on your wedding!!!

 

[sambycat]

as to your budget stress, just wanted to chime in we are right there too! we made a 14K payment on our minimum due date, so along with the deposit, that gives us a 15K balance towards our total. we need to scrape up like just under 2K for them BUT we owe probably 5K for all our other things!!! his ring! the condo! rest of the photo/video! OMG!!!!!

The budget is literally making my hair turn gray! And now Eddie's truck broke down. That darn thing has been causing so much stress on us this year. We've already put more than $1000 into it this year, and now they're saying to get it fixed it's going to be another $2000.00. The truck isn't even worth that much, so now we're looking into finding a really cheap car that will just get us through January. I'm so over it, it's not even funny! I've adapted an "I don't care, whatever happens, happens" attitude, and it's scaring the you know what out of me! Good luck girl!

Ok, so I totally had an amazing day today. My sister and mom totally surprised me with a bridal shower! I was completely shocked and surprised, and it was so much fun. I had told everyone I didn't want a shower, and I wasn't expecting one. I can't believe they kept it a secret for so long, and it all turned out perfectly. I'm going to go pick up our gifts now from my moms house, but I will post about it and put up pictures when I get back. I'm so happy right now!

 

[Jules~Marie]

So for about 2 weeks my sister has been telling me that she took off from work on Sat. the 13th and she really wanted to go Christmas shopping with me. I figured that sounded like a good idea, and since DF works Saturdays, I'm always up for hanging out with someone instead of spending the day alone. My sister kept saying "lets get dressed up to go shopping, we never dress nicely anymore", so I thought that was a great idea. Why not get dressed nicely and spend the day shopping with my sister. She also said we'd grab some lunch too so it sounded like a perfect Saturday. I got suspicious at one point on Friday night. We had a lot of family drama going on on Friday afternoon, and it wasn't going to be resolved until Saturday, so I was surprised and suspicious when Kristyl (sister/moh) said she still wanted to go shopping.

Saturday morning comes around, and despite the drama, we got dressed and went shopping. My suspicions subsided as we actually went shopping. We went all over town, running around stores getting Christmas shopping done. I was shocked! I really didn't think we'd be shopping, so then I came to the conclusion that she really just wanted to hang out and get her shopping done. I was fine with that and decided to enjoy the day.

When it was time for lunch, we went to a restaurant that we don't visit often so I wasn't realizing that they were taking us into the back party room. When I entered I was completely shocked to see my bridesmaid from NY sitting in the room! I was completely taken by surprise and I had the best day ever!

Here's some pics:
Me crying like an idiot! I was so shocked to see everyone there and to see my BM! My mom flew her in as an extra surprise.

My first time holding a newborn baby...it was pretty scary. And then he peed on me.

My wonderful sister and mom

My cake. Apparently this really upset my mom and sister. It was supposed to be a gorgeous castle and I guess the guy at Publix didn't make it the way the picture looked, but I loved it.

All my wonderful gifts

My bow bouquet

I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful family.
