J & T's Wishes Wedding 5/5/12 SB/SBP/BW *Wedding & Aulani HM TR Complete!*

Thanks Bethie!! mmm my mouth is still watering from it! It was so heavenly :goodvibes I just emailed Amanda to confirm they got the payment and contract yesterday so I can see my proof and get them mailed. The anticipation is killing me!! :banana:

Ooohh! Can't wait to see them. Whenever I am waiting for something from them I am so impatient. Refreshing my email all the time. It's bad, but their work is so good!

Forgot to mention that the chocolate beignets look amazing! Paul and I may have to go check that one out.

Thanks! It was a blast! They have tours all throughout the different sections! This was was of the South End. Next I want to try the Back Bay tour! :goodvibes I am a serious chocoholic. I went to Jamaica one time and brought chocolate with me becasue I wasn't sure if they'd have chocolate for me to buy. I am a freak! :laughing:

Boston is honestly my most favorite city!

87 days and counting, eee!! :yay:

Glad you love Boston. It is a great city. I always wanted to live here when I was a kid and have been very blessed for the last 10.
 
Aww! I love all the pictures! It looks like you girls had a blast!

Love all that Vera Bradley-- I'm an ADDICT.

OMG. All the food porn!! It looks AMAZING!!

Glad you had an aawesome time!
 
Tricia! How fun! What an amazing time you guys had/ That chocolate tour made me hungry, as well as all the other food pics you had...everything looks amazing. You have some really great friends, congrats on such a wonderful time.
 
You are so lucky to have such a great group of girlfriends, Tricia! I don't think you could have a better bachelorette weekend =)

And I cracked up at the dog in the stroller! :rotfl2: I live in Seattle and it is a common occurrence out here. Still makes me laugh every time.

I have been in the "queue" since yesterday, whatever that means! I'm still anxious to seeee! :cool1:

I saved my beignet and had it on Monday even, it was amazing then. I can only imagine how good it was when it first was made! I can look up the specific address if you'd like! Eveything on our tour was within a mile of each other, so assuming you know the area, you could likely find it. Let me know! ;) You are very lucky to be living there!! :goodvibes

haha Thanks Faith!! The big pink Vera is mine, for some reason going to school in Virginia, every girl had one... it was a necessity! I love traveling with it and making Josh carry it through airports... :laughing:

Tricia! How fun! What an amazing time you guys had/ That chocolate tour made me hungry, as well as all the other food pics you had...everything looks amazing. You have some really great friends, congrats on such a wonderful time.

I want to go back and take the tour again like now! My coma is wearing off and I'm getting cravings again! :rotfl:

I agree, I couldn't have wished for it to be any better, exactly what I was needing right about now too! No way- reallly??? It was the first time I had ever seen one and I thought "that dog better have a broken leg and not just be lazy" lol I'm terrible, I know! There were so many dogs walking around right in that area, I couldn't believe it!
 
We got our updated floral BEO (I think we are about round 5 or 6 by now) from Laura literally 3 minutes ago! I'm really happy with myself... we went from being close to 10k to under 5k WITH tax! Darn delivery charge of $75 brought us over to 5064! That's what I'm talking about :goodvibes

She did not budge on the canopy though :( Still $250 to rent and additional $100 for the draping. Foiled. :confused3
 
Looks like you had an awesome bachelorette!!!!! I want to try the chocolate factory :) I'm so glad everything turned out so great for you! I love all the food pictures, looks like a good dinner! By the way I have the black shirt you were wearing at night :)

Yes! The chocolate tour was awesome, you have to do one! :goodvibes
I actually just got that shirt on Saturday! I wanted it in white but they only had one and not in my size. I'm on the hunt to go back and find it in white, I really like it! ;)
 
•Woohoo! I'm only like 25 minutes outside of Boston and now I wanna go on one of those chocolate tours! Looks like a GREAT time!
•The rest of your party seemed like fun! I love drunk pictures. :lmao:
 
Wow... Your bachlorette looked so so much fun! Especially coming from a fellow chocaholic! That was a lot of choc! :) What a good idea!

I don't know where were going for my Hen Party (Thats what e call it in the UK) All i know is... my friend said "its doing something you wouldn't even realise they do for Hen partys" lol OH GREAT! LOL still no idea!

Any way... it looks like you had a blast! And its really not long now is it! (For both of us really) hehe

Glad you've got your floral sorted out now too! Im still waiting for a mock up of everything from botanica international, but apparently thats normal? How many weeks out were you until you heard anything?

Mwah! :)
 
Just found your PJ. I am totally craving chocolate right now. What a fun bachelorette party you must have had.

Heck yes, you should definitely sign up and take one! Even in February the walk was nice and the stops were awesome! We definitely had a good time! Just wait til the reception pictures, we definitely have a lot of big drinkers... :rotfl:

That sounds fun!!! I am kind of a crazy planner, so I slightly planned my bachelorette, I don't "surprise" well so I was very happy they let me plan and have my way :goodvibes I think everyone had a great time!

For my floral, we discussed it at our PS in October, then I probably got the BEO not until after Thanksgiving- so abot 6 weeks or so? They told me since my PS was more than 6 months out, they couldnt put the BEO together with pricing until 6 mos out, which was fine. I have been going back and forth since (we started at I think 8,888 :scared1:) and I've worked it down to where I'm happy with what we have and am dealing with the price. :) I'm at the point now I just want everything done and finalized! 80 days today, eek!!

Just found your PJ. I am totally craving chocolate right now. What a fun bachelorette party you must have had.

haha I am craving chocolate all the time. I really think it might not be normal! :lmao: We had such a good time! :goodvibes
 
80 days!!! :dance3:

I approved our invite proof yesterday and it was sent to the printer- yippee!!! Shelley says they'll be shipped this week even! They are so pretty in just the proof without the colors, the matting etc. I cannot wait to see them in hopefully less than a week!! :yay:

My sister purchased my nephew's ring bearer suit today and I cannot wait to see him in it!! It's a light grey suit to match the guys (hopefully they are somewhat close), with suspenders and a pink tie! ;) I also can't wait to see my little flower girl/future niece in her dress!!
We bought all of the BM & FG dresses online, and they are scheduled to ship mid-March. We ordered them back in early December. I can't wait to see them all!!

I ordered my fastpass escort cards from Wendy and they are awesome!! I also bought little silver mini-envelopes to put them in. My plan is to write the family name on the envelope, then put however many fastpasses in that envelope, for example, my sister's last name is Haber and she has herself, husband, and my nephew. So their envelope will say 'The Haber Family' and contain 3 fastpasses to their table. :woohoo: Wendy does such a good job, we are so lucky to have her!

Our photograher's are going to a photography convention in Vegas this weekend but once they get back we are going to meet up and go over the day's timeline so I can make timeline cards for the bridal party and our parents, photographers, etc. So excited!
On a non-wedding related photog note, they are doing some sort of giveaway in Vegas for a soldier, his wife & their baby. She emailed to ask me which hotel would have the most Disney magic if they were to send them to WDW! So awesome!! I told her if they have a baby, likely near the MK and for convenience, the monorail resorts. I also told her if she knew the dates I'd see if there might be any blocks then that would be willing to lend a room for a good cause, so hopefully that holds true!! :goodvibes

We had a really laid back Valentines yesterday, we exchanged cards and DF was so sweet. He really isn't the biggest sap, he is more jokes, so every holiday and birthday I tell him I want a sappy card but never get one. Finally this year, our 8th valentines together, I got it. lol It was great, and made me tear up! Love him so much! Then I went out to my car to go to work and he had put flowers in my car overnight. He is too cute! ;)

We also finally have a wedding song!!! It's "She is Love"- the acoustic version by Parachute? I feel like I've heard this song before but not this version. Again with DF not being a sap, he picked the song, and I think it fits us really well. It was really sweet that he thought that song was us. I'm on such a cloud with him lately and loving it. 80 days til I get to be his wife and I can't wait!! :bride:

Tomorrow, Goonie will be 1 yr old!! We are totally planning a puppy party for him.... bahahaha don't mock me. I'll take pictures for sure!! :cool1:

I can't wait to see pics of the invites and the fast passes! Shelley is so awesome to work with and Wendy's creativity is awesome!

And I understand about your DF not being a sap. Mine isn't either! Every time he asks what I want (bday present, xmas, valentine's day), I say that I want a love letter. I do get a sweet card that's he signed, but I've yet to have a love letter. I was hoping maybe on our wedding day, but nope. But if it happened for you at your 8th Valentine's Day, then I've got 2 more left!

I wanna see those 1st bday pics!! My friend totally had a puppy party when her puppy turned 1 and I spent way more money than I should have on a cake for Bella's first birthday last September!
 
So happy to hear that you were able to get your floral budget down!!! Saving money is always a great thing :cool1: Sounds like things are really coming along, not too much time left. I know I was so relieved when the invitations finally went to print. We changed ours so many times so I had, had it with them.

Our photographers are in Vegas too for the convention lol. That is so cool about the Disney giveaway, that will be one lucky family:)

Btw I am totally making dh take me on the chocolate tour this spring:)

No word yet on the shipping for the invites, but Shelley told me they'd ship this week, so that only leaves a day or two more! If I can figure out how to re-size the Fast pass images, I can try to put them on here. I am waiting to have them printed until I know exactly how many people we have coming and how many I need per table (right now my estimates have 22 at one table, 18 at another etc.). I'm so excited to start getting some replies and making concrete #s plans!

At least you get the sappy cards signed!! lol I actually am planning on asking him if he wants to write letters to each other instead of personalized vows for the wedding- I'm hoping he agrees! I too figure, if any day I can get him to do it, it'll be our Wedding Day! Hopefully it'll work! ;)

bahahahaha I love it. I'm stopping after work to get him a big bone, a hat, etc. We're thinking of bringing him to Petsmart to pick out a new toy. lol. Other than that, nothing too crazy. Really if I had planned more instead of being in wedding mode, I totally would have invited people and his dog friends. He obvioulsy have no idea what we're talking about when we keep singing to him today... :rotfl:

Yes! The floral is such a relief! Laura told me "if it were her wedding" she would add orchids to the tall vases we substituted. Right now we have lilly grass and some dark green tropical leaves in them. The orchids are only $20 per cluster of 3 vases (about $180 in total) so I will likely add them for prettiness factor. Sadly of the probably 20+ weddings we've been to, I only remember the centerpieces at less than 5 of them, sooo I'm trying to keep that in mind and spend my money more reasonably. :goodvibes

That is great! I wonder if our photogs are friends?! I'll have to ask (becasue I am a freak like that...lol). They are presenting some sort of workshop too. I will have to research more... hahaha.

Yes! Totally take a chocolate tour!! I was saying I'm going to look into one around here to take- that way we really could go back and frequent the places for the goods! :woohoo:
 
Sorry I fell a little behind! Your bachelorette was amazing, and I am excited to see the invites and other paper goods.

I'm glad DF finally got the hint about the sappy cards. Guys are slow sometimes. :lmao:

OMG I NEED TO SEE PICTURES OF THIS PUPPY PARTY!!!! Pleeeasseee?!

Good the invites ship this week, can't wait to see the final product.

I'm another one that doesn't get anything sappy, I don't even get cards. I told my partner when he proposes I want lots of sappiness LOL.
 
Hey Tricia! I'm up late surfing eBay and I found this headband that made me think of you and your beach theme

Star fish headband

Not sure what your hair plans are, but couldnt resist showing you anyway! Happy planning :goodvibes

No worries! I am excited toooooooooo I want to see them ASAP!! lol
Goonie was so excited for all of his treats, we only got one picture of him sitting still. hahaha But I will post it!

haha yesss, because he isn't sappy normally, it made me so anxious for the proposal once I started to realize it was going to happen. Was he going to finally pour his heart out to me and I'd cry like a crazy person? What if he did and I didnt cry, etc. haha I am nuts. He didn't go on and on, and I still cried. Go figure! :laughing: Hopefully you will get the sap! ;)

LOVE!!! :love: Thanks so much for thinking of me, I do love it! I am wearing my hair down in loose curls. I haven't decided yet how a veil is going to fit/ where to put it etc. I am keeping this on my list! Thans so much! :goodvibes
