I've been busy and pretty absent.
Made a few final payments, just have the dessert party one left. Nothing to make it feel real like spending thousands of dollars out of your bank account!
Invitations have been finished and mailed. I will come back and post pictures of them after, when I don't have to worry about hiding dates and things. I'm happy with how they came out, even though the inside wasn't how I first imagined they'd end up. Zack was great with helping, thank goodness, because I've worked so dang much. They went out a little later than I would have liked, but on the other hand, we already know who's coming and they have a good idea of what's going on.
I need to set up our Uber code, which is how we're providing transportation for everyone. If I'm remembering right, the cheapest shuttle I could get for us was $600 + taxes, fees, and tip. Everyone is staying at different places which made it hard too. This way they can just grab an Uber to the ceremony, and we'll all do it together to go to lunch. I'm going to make little cards with the code to hand out once we're down there for people to keep on them. I also might throw my referral code on there for any first time riders...
I'm torn on a cake because of Food and Wine festival and the Dessert Party.
I'll probably be pretty happy no matter what because fancy hair and makeup are not one of my skills.
Ugh, I'm not looking forward to all the money I still owe for our wedding. But yay for you being almost finished paying for everything!
Ooh! Please explain this Uber code to me. Does it mean that you'll be paying the bill on the ride? Because this is something we've been talking about (so much cheaper than paying Disney for charters), but we didn't realize there was a way to set it up - we were just going to hand people cash to pay them back for the ride haha.
I'm only having cake because it's included with our Escape package - neither one of us really love cake that much. You could always just get a tiny little 6" cake if you just wanted to ceremonially cut something?
Haha, I feel you on that one! We did our engagement pictures on the weekend, and I realized I have no idea how to do anything with my hair other than straighten it (and I use my straightener maybe three times a year?).
Your shoes are amazing! I love, love, love Lady! My DF are also dog people!
Hi! I enjoyed following your trip on here and on Instagram! Can't wait to hear more! Looked beautiful in your pictures so far <3 I've been pretty behind on the boards without leaving, so I can only imagine!It took me forever (sorry!!) but I finally got over here and got caught up! Just in time, apparently! You must be almost to the day...or are you there now? Anyway, sooo exciting!! I'm sorry for all the trials and drama you've endured to get to this place, but it will be amazing and soo worth it! I highly recommend bringing your stylist a few inspiration pictures like the ones you posted for your hair and makeup. You can tell them it doesn't have to look exactly like that or anything, but just to give them a general idea of what kinds of things you like. I did that for my hair, and I loved it. I didn't do it for my makeup, and I was not a fan. Looking back, one of my few regrets was feeling like I had super heavy eyebrows and raccoon eyes on my wedding day, as silly and unimportant as it sounds. I have so many things to comment on—should have quoted things along the way!—but suffice it to say that I'm SO excited for you, and I hope to hear all about it between now and then and/or after the Disneymoon (which will be amazing!!)
We’re back!
We survived and we’re all legal and everything!
I'm going to do a TR for the whole trip, so I'm going to start working on that, but I'll also come back and post or link just the wedding stuff on here.
Here's the TR:
Forever Could Even Start Today, Wedding & Disneymoon Sept 17
