Ohh, I meant to ask you.. Does the Euro train thing go close enough to where you live? We were thinking of visiting for the day but we would be coming from Paris... is that possible??

 

[Skylarr29]

Oh yeah... one more thing since I haven't talked to you FOREVER. We are staying at Port Orleans Riverside so let me know if you need our confirmation number to meet your room night requirement. We used my Travel Agent discount and booked outside of the block. We will arrive on July 31st and leave August 6th.

YEY Sara-Jayne, I missed ya over here.....

Yay, Christina! I eventually got my backside into gear!

 

[Raspberry Bubbles]

Glad your starting your PJ! Your getting married just 3 days after me!!! How exciting! Can't wait to hear all your plans!

Congratulations! I will pop over and read your PJ!

 

[Raspberry Bubbles]

Wow! Sounds like you've got quite the trip planned!

Thank you! I can't wait, I am soooooo excited!

Melissa, I am sure there is some way we can meet! I'm not sure where the train goes, but we're only 70 miles from London, so we could try!

Your band sounds fantastic ~ I want a sparkly one too! I saw a sparkly one there that had diamonds dotted around the outside ~ is it that one? I really, reeeeally wanted that one but I think Gav has spent enough already!

Thank you for the room block thing ~ I'll find out from Bill what I need!

We're getting close!

Our rehearsal day starts early! We decided on a rehearsal breakfast instead or a dinner for reasons you’ll read in a minute, but I am so looking forward to our breakfast! It’s at the Tusker House, Animal Kingdom, Donald’s Safari Breakfast. I bought Gav and I Crocodile Hunter shirts for this. We sponsor Saltwater Crocodiles and an Emerald Tree Boa at the zoo. (I have loved crocodiles ~ and all scaly things (anything that reminded me of dragons) ~ since I was a tiny little girl) Anyway, I got two shirts from Australia Zoo as they are safari looking and we’re going to Gatorland in the last week of our honeymoon as trainers for the day and these will come in handy ~ this is a surprise for Gav too.

(I knew I'd get a picture of Steve in here somehow....:high5 )

I’m going to make a little something to show that it’s our rehearsal breakfast. Here’s the graphic I made:

I love it, I think we are having t-shirts with it on! The breakfast is at 8.00am and we can stay at the Animal Kingdom until about 11am as we have tuxedo fittings at the Yacht Club with Carolyn Allen’s at 12 noon.

The Groomsmen

Here are the groomsmen’s tuxedos from Carolyn Allen's (Dad, Gav’s dad, Best Man and two brothers in law)

We also have the Mickey Mouse vests:

..and here is Gavin’s suit. He too has the Mickey Mouse vest.

Groomsmen and Groomsmenwear!

After much debating and months of searching, we finally found the cravats!

Here are the colours we chose from:

and the final choices:

Here are the groomsmen’s sharpei cravats (orange) which in the end, after many months of disappointment I managed to find from a wonderful man on eBay who makes them himself! All of the cravats came with pocketsquares too.

and the cufflink knots (orange).

Here’s Gav’s cravat…from the same man!

……..and his cufflinks, from Arribas Brothers.

That is so gorgeous ~ I am jealous!

Groomsmen Continued…

Gavin has some really cool white shoes from Brighton…. I knew he didn’t want anything normal and wanted something he’d actually enjoy wearing and he didn’t disappoint! We both love unusual shoes ~ the only difference is that I’ll buy shoes like no-one else I know. I buy pretty shoes that I love, not shoes that are conventional that I think other people will like. I’ll post Gavin’s shoe picture as soon as I have taken one. Here's what they look like in brown ~ his are WHITE.

They're kind of like cowboy boots except of course they're shoes. They look really smart on him and I know he loves them which gives me a warm fuzzy feeling for him.

On a really soppy note, I look at him now and he's strumming away on his guitar, playing Disney love songs for me.... Awww.......

So, we have the tuxedo fitting at 12 at the Yacht Club. After that I’m planning on us going to Beaches and Cream; I know that my nieces and nephews will love it.

They’re then free to lounge around at Stormalong Bay because as a gift for my family I have booked them rooms at the YC for the night before.

I thought that by staying at the Yacht Club then they would not have to worry about getting up earlier than necessary the next day and travelling over to my room to get ready and risking leaving something behind at the ASM. Out of my family I have my mum, dad, (Mother and Father of the Bride of course), my sister (Matron of Honour) her two girls (Flowergirls) her two boys (Page Boys) and my brother in law (Groomsman). Having them being late would be a catastrophe....!

So, we need to be back at the YC for 12noon…..

I like how you've scheduled in Panic time!

...if I hadn't, I would have had to run into allocated time for something else....

 

[Raspberry Bubbles]

I've made alot of t-shirts for the trip. Since Gav is a really good sport about wearing them, it makes me really happy!

We’ve designed some t-shirts for the rehearsal itself. Here is our first design for our guests…
