Awww, thanks ladies! Yep... only 5 weeks to go.And I, umm, have a lot to do still! As for the pictures, my poor photographer is probably going to hate me. I already have a list of must-have shots. The photography is the one wedding "thing" I actually care about. Forget the flowers and cake. If those get screwed up I don't really think I'll care too much. But my pictures? Oh, boy! I'm no drama queen but I think I'd be able to put even the craziest of bridezillas to shame if my pictures were messed up. :ROFLOL:
Speaking of photography, who are you using Shelley? I can't recall if you said you were going to go outside for photos or just use the package that comes with the escape collection. I'm using Jason Angelini. He's actually from Tampa, not Orlando, but I found that he was so much more affordable than all the photogs I initially wanted (like 1/3 of the price). Plus, he has a nice, clean style, and he's been great to communicate with so far.
5 weeks!! OMG I'm so excited for you! Are you going to get a video and put it on YouTube for all of us to see? I contacted Disney Photography and they sent me a sample DVD of the Escape Videography package and one of just the ceremony at the WP. I'm really glad I got it because I didn't really like all the extras in the expensive package so we're going with the ceremony only and they hand it to you as you leave the WP the day of your wedding. I'm planning to put it on YouTube asap when I get home
We decided to go with Disney for everything. We were able to book theme park bridal portrait sessions at MK & EPCOT after all! I was worried about the budget but my Mom talked me into it. I'm waiting to hear back from my wedding coordinator to see what day we get but I do not want it to be the wedding day. I want Jason to see me for the first time when those doors open at the WP and the violinist and organist play When You Wish Upon A Star

I've read mixed reviews about Disney Photography but I also don't have time to go calling outside vendors. My job is crazy stressful so I'm just going to pay the extra to have Disney take care of everything. Plus, we couldn't have an outside photographer anyway because doesn't that add to your guest count? We have the maximum allowed for an Escape wedding: 18.
Ahh yes, and congrats on the Dessert Party! That is going to be so much fun. :sohappy:
I so totally wanna crash at Shelley's dessert party and hijack at least one of the more random shots at Holly's to-do! Who's with me?! Partners in crime should speak now or forever hold their peace!
LOL Thank you! I'm SO excited about the DP. The rules have changed this year and Escape brides are allowed to wear their bridal attire in the park if you get private transportation. I was going to do that anyway since some of my guests don't know Disney so well and they're all staying at different resorts. I don't want anyone to miss the DP!
I found a great website that has weekly podcasts all about Disney weddings. A few weeks ago they did a DP podcast and it was AWESOME! http://www.insidedisneyweddings.com/
Are you ladies registered anywhere? Did you do the Disney gift registry?
Wow you are the first person to ask me that and I haven't thought about it at all. We might only register on the Disney gift registry and no where else. What's nice about that is that people can chip in for spa treatments, dinners, etc for your honeymoon. That way people don't have to lug a present down to Orlando. We definitely want to get a couples massage the day after the wedding. That's going to be our lazy day
Dress & Shoes!
I bought my new shoes a few weeks ago and they're perfect!! I wear flip flops all summer long (even to work) so these are perfect for me. And they're MUCH more comfortable than the "glass" slippers at about 1/2 the price. I got the white ones and they're very pretty in person.

I'm going dress shopping at Alfred Angelo's on Feb. 20th - less than 2 weeks! I'm taking a full entourage with me and I can't wait. I'm going to try on the 2 Disney Princess dresses that I could possibly afford, plus a bunch of other ones I've been looking at. I'm so excited!! I really hope I buy my dress that day. I can't stress how important it is for me to just get things done at this point. :sohappy:
