I admittedly have been the worst at updating this
After Jesse got home from his deployment
we have been non-stop! The first weekend he was home my sister got married in Toronto so we flew up for that. Then we had the Navy Ball down in Virginia. Every weekend since then we've been meeting up in Virginia or Maryland to spend time together, which meant a lot of bus rides for me
not my favorite thing but the things I do to spend a little time with my man
This time NEXT WEEK we'll be in Florida to start the wedding festivities! I have a couple of surprises up my sleeves
I got a caricature artist for everyone during dinner
and am surprising Jesse with the vintage Cadillac for our exit from Sea Breeze Point to the Grand Floridian. It's all coming together quite well. We got our BAH a little while ago and were able to cut a few things down and all in all I'm happy with the cost of everything.
Last week we got gifts for both of our moms. We were having a hard time deciding what to buy and decided to get them Pandora bracelets and each one charm. We currently got them a charm of their favorite animals (my mom a peacock, his mom a butterfly) but I think we might save those for Christmas and get them each a Disney charm as a momento from the Disney wedding, makes sense to me!
I also got a couple gifts for Jesse, I just couldn't help myself. I got him a Seiko watch for the wedding. It's kind of become a thing with us, I got him a watch for his birthday last year and another one for our anniversary but they're both black and he's wearing brown shoes so got a watch that complemented it. I also got him some batman cufflinks. As he likes to say..."I'm not saying I'm Batman, I'm just saying have you ever seen the two of us in the same room together?" He's cute and funny and I like him and I thought they were a nice touch.
I ordered some gifts for my gals. I got them each a Kate Spade wristlet that can turn into a wallet and also shirts that say 'bridesmaid' on the front with their last names on the back and the number of years that I've known them. Thought it would be cute to wear at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party the night before the wedding and maybe getting ready too. Also got Jesse's brothers socks for the wedding. They're originally from Michigan so they are all big Michigan sports fans so got each of them a different team, thought it made things a bit more personal and showed their personalities a bit.
I also got a new veil and waiting on my custom shoes that should be coming by the end of this week. And we're almost off! lkasdjflkdsajflds I CAN'T WAIT!
