Confessions of a DFTW Bride To Be

[PartOfYourWorld]

I know I absolutely cannot wait to see my nieces, sister, and brother in law at the airport on Saturday morning! We always take the first flight out at 7AM so Jason and I will leave the house around 4AM :sohappy: That flight is going to feel like a breeze to me since I've just taken 6 hr flights to and from Vancouver

Lucky! I wish I knew of ways I could make the 3 hr flight from Providence to Orlando feel like a breeze The anticipation of what's to come always makes it go by so slow

I can't believe that you guys leave on Saturday!!! Honestly, it seems like yesterday that I started reading your thread and posting on it! Wow, how fast 9 months flew by!!! I did find out that for Food and Wine I am working backstage as a delivery girl.... We will have to find a form of contact to use to get in touch because I want to see you guys and hear all about your big day!

I do like how you graded everything. Robby and I are starting to look for candles etc, and I am definitely going to use amazon! Also, thanks for the info on Men's Warehouse. It will help with getting our fathers fitted and the groomsmen from out of state!

Enjoy your flight and have a magical week!

When I was little the plane ride felt like it took forever! Depending on the weather it can take anywhere from 1 hr 40 mins to a little over 2 hrs from Baltimore to Orlando. I'm pretty lucky that I don't live too far away and perhaps in a few months we'll live in Orlando!! :sohappy:

I know the time has flown by! Today is my 31st birthday and last year on my birthday we were in WDW and Jason proposed to me during MNSSHP on PPF! I cannot believe that was a whole year ago and now we're getting married NEXT WEEK!!! We're so excited :sohappy:

I'll PM you with some contact info so maybe we can meet up during F&W. We will definitely be there Fri, Sat, and Sun. Our bridal portraits are Fri so I'll finally be able to eat just in time for F&W :ROFLOL:

:sohappy: Hopefully in a few months you will!!!! That would be the best! You would be living very very close to the magic!! And I'd still rather have that short flight than the long 24 hour drive to FL!

And Happy Birthday again!!! Hope your day turned out to be a very very magical one!!!

Thank you! Happy Birthday to your son!! September is a popular birthday month indeed.

Happy Birthday :wave:

I've heard that September is a popular month for birthdays because New Years is 9 months earlier Good luck to your DD! I hope she gets into the CP.

Happy Birthday!! I hope you had a good day!

Thank you I did have a magical day!

:sohappy: Hopefully in a few months you will!!!! That would be the best! You would be living very very close to the magic!! And I'd still rather have that short flight than the long 24 hour drive to FL!

And Happy Birthday again!!! Hope your day turned out to be a very very magical one!!!

I think this trip coming up will probably seal our move in April. Our lease will be up and I work from home now so I can work from anywhere. We've been wanting to get out of MD for awhile, the taxes are high and so are housing costs. Plus after a year of wedding highs and lows, we will be ready to start a new adventure! There's also the added bonus of getting to meet all of my forum and twitter friends since we would be there every weekend (and probably some weeknights)! :sohappy:

My birthday turned out really well. Although we didn't really do anything, we reminisced about last year and I got so many birthday wishes from my family and friends and that made it really special! Here's to turning 29 and 24 months :sohappy:

JUST 2 DAYS TO GO!!! Although Jason and I usually make EPCOT our first stop, since we're traveling with my little nieces and we're all staying at the Grand Floridian, we're going to MK first. I just know I'll burst into tears walking down main street with them for the first time. There's nothing like a child's excitement and wonder

I know I already wished you a happy birthday, but happy birthday again! (And engage-a-versary!) I can't WAIT FOR YOUR TRIP OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's really awesome that your job allows you to do that! And WDW every weekend! It just can't get any better than that!

I can't believe your trip is already here! Like someone said above I remember reading your thread starting at the beginning and time flies! Are you guys going to MNSSHP while your honeymoonin?And that first stop in MK with your nieces will be very magical

Thanks again Jackie! I can't WAIT to be done with this day and off to the airport tomorrow!! Looking forward to landing at MCO and taking DME to the GF for the first time :sohappy: I've stayed there a few times previously (on my parents dollar of course) but that was in the 90's when there was no DME. We used to take the Mears shuttle.

We keep going back and forth on MNSSHP. We love it, but the only time we can go is Friday which is the first day of F&W which we've both never experienced. We kind of want to do F&W Fri - Sun. I guess we can always buy advance tickets at the ticket booth at the Magic Kingdom right? Does anyone know if you get the advance purchase price if you buy them say the morning of the party?

Pampering Rocks!

Last night I went to the salon and got my hair highlighted and cut again (I was just there last month for my trip to Vancouver). My stylist is so sweet and we talked about the wedding just about the whole time. She gave me ideas of what she thought would look good for my hair type for the wedding day and bridal portraits. She said for the wedding day her vote is to have it up like Cinderella. This was even before I told her about my Cinderella dress! I swear she reads minds, I never know what I want and I just let her do what she thinks would look good. It always turns out just the way I want!

She was so nice to style my hair in loose curls, she thinks this is what I should look like for the bridal portraits:

LOVE IT! My hair is still curly today after I slept on it. She didn't even use any styling products so now we know my hair will hold the curl!

I also got a pedicure. Man oh man I'm hooked now. I've been so stressed out thinking of everything that can go wrong AND I have a deadline at work today (which I will easily meet but still...STRESS!). I didn't know how much I would need pampering. I got to sit in a massage chair while my feet soaked and it was just the best thing ever. I brought work with me but I thought what they hey? Just relax. And then she did this:

NOW I'M REALLY EXCITED!!!! Tomorrow at this time we'll be on the friggin plane!!!! :sohappy: Oh and I did lose those 5 lbs

 

[djpoore94]

You're hair looks great! Love the loose curls, it looks so romantic. And the Mickey pedi is so cute.

I'm so excited for you guys, you're going to have an amazing day and I can't wait to read all about it and see the pictures!

 

[PartOfYourWorld]

Not quite sure about getting advanced prices ahead of time on that morning at MNSSHP But hope to see you at F & W festival either Friday or Sunday! It's me and my mom's first time as well, saw the pictures of the different booths today in the news section and got me excited!!!!

You're hair looks beautiful!!!!!! I love the loose curls on you. And the Mickey heads are so cute! (Much better looking than when I attempted it just this morning :lookaroun)

Congrats on losing the 5 lbs!!! And have a magical safe flight tomorrow!!!!! And a magical wedding day as well when it arrives!!! :sohappy:

 

[diddy_mouse]

Your hair looks awesome and your pedi is really cute!

SQUEE you're heading to the airport tomorrow!!! I hope you have an amazing time (which I know you will) and I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.

You are going to have a great time at the F&W festival. One of my favorite things about it is the wonderful aroma that first hits you when you walk into World Showcase. (start on the Mexico side! :slurp

:sohappy:

 

[WDW_Princess24]

Wishing you and Jason nothing but the best as you get ready for your wedding! I know everything will be much more than what you've always dreamed of! Can't wait to hear all about it when you are back. CONGRATULATIONS!!! :sohappy:

Don't you just love the day before a Disney trip? I haven't stopped smiling all day! We're so excited but at the same time we're nervous. The wedding is such a dream day that we're scared something will go wrong and ruin it Oh well, we should just enjoy anyway and I'm sure everything will be fine :hammer:

Aww thanks. I'm really glad my stylist did that for me because I really had no idea what I was going to do for the portraits. I knew I wanted it down but what she did was better than anything I would have thought of!

We're totally excited for F&W! Eating and drinking around the world, yes please :sohappy: And I'm very happy that it begins after our portraits so I don't have to worry about fitting in a wedding dress! Double yay!

Thank you so much! We're leaving in nearly 11 hours I can't friggin wait!!!! Ugh I have some work left to do but I'm done packing for today so after work I can just go to bed. I can almost smell the Disney air conditioning :sohappy:

Thanks for the tip on F&W! Sounds good to me, we need to change it up because we almost never walk that way. We always go to Canada first. Ah but at this time tomorrow we'll be eating at Teppan Edo. MMMM cannot wait!

Wishing you and Jason nothing but the best as you get ready for your wedding! I know everything will be much more than what you've always dreamed of! Can't wait to hear all about it when you are back. CONGRATULATIONS!!! :sohappy:

Aww this actually made me teary! I guess the congratulations in bold... I'm pretty emotional right now. I have NO idea how I'm going to hold it together on the wedding day so I probably won't even try LOL. I cry when we board DME, when we see the movie, when we go under the Welcome sign, well you get the point. :hammer:

 

[HollyBelle]

Shelley!!! OMG! How excited you must be - it's so close. And I completely understand your nerves, as well. I was worried about all the same things, but don't worry, when you wake up on your wedding day everything will be exactly as it should be. And more important than anything else, you'll be marrying the love of your life!

Congratulations to you and Jason! :sohappy:

We'll be at Epcot on Sunday, as well, so hopefully we can meet up.
