OK so Little update today I am contemplating renting DVC points for out BW stay. I have worked it out to rent them its only a little more expensive for 2 weeks than it is to book though disney for 4 days. So now I am in the process of finding someone to rent off. Its all getting a little overwhelming if anyone has any suggestions on renting DVC point please let me know!

 

[BecBennett]

You could either go to Mouse owners . com or dvc request . com (all without spaces, don't know if you're able to post those links on here.

Actually, you probably can because I think DVC request sponsers the DVC section of the boards...

If I was planning on staying deluxe I'd do this too, but I've got my heart set on POR

 

[mareeld86]

We are going to stay at POR when we get back from the cruise! I love the look of it!
But since i am getting Married at the BW i thought I would stay there for a couple of days now if we rent it will be 2 weeks.

 

[BecBennett]

Hey, I wouldn't be arguing if it*had* to be 2 weeks!

 

[mareeld86]

OKay so we Got our Planner Its Diane Bowen. Has anyone has her tell me what she is like!
She sent an email to DF email address and not mine and DF failed to tell me for 2 days that he had an email and i am peaking out cause i want to know who my planner is lol.
On another note i did a wedding newsletter just have to take a photo and upload it! Will do that in the next day or so!

 

[BecBennett]

Congrats on getting a planner! It all gets underway now!

I don't have Diane so I cant comment on that, but I haven't heard of anyone not being happy with their planner.

 

[mareeld86]

DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA! OMG I am about to Scream! our Save the dates were received this week and DF mum chucked a massive hissy fit because her partners name wasnt on it.
Number 1 we never knew he was coming
Number 2 we only sent Save the dates to people we know are coming and
Number 3 why did she chuck it at me and not her son!
we are getting married at wdw to get away from drama but it seems to be following us everywhere.

 

[Princess SarahK]

Oh no! Im so sorry!! She should have taken it up with your DF..thats just crazy! I hope it gets better, keep us posted! Any new updates so far?

 

[BecBennett]

Bleh, I hate that Of course she's not going to take it up with her little boy. It's always going to be your fault

I got that for our engagement party. I specifically didn't put names on any of the invites for that reason, but still I got in trouble for having Mr. & Mrs. on the envelope, and not including their children You can't win.

Do your best to make people happy, but don't be upset when it falls short of doing so, because it always will.

 

[mareeld86]

Yeah I think it was more of a shock that i got this nasty message. Telling me she deserves respect.
Nothing exciting to update I think I have changed my mind on bridesmaid dresses again I will get a pic up soon.
I did get some Matha Stewart punches and my mom sent me a really cute mickey Halloween cookie set as she was in the USA in October.
But on the wedding front it has been a bit quite.
I have been looking but i am waiting for DF to get home for me to decide any of the details. 8 weeks down Only 2 weeks to go until he is home I am so excited its been such a long time im glad next time he goes its only for 4 weeks.

 

[BecBennett]

That's good that he'll be home soon, my DF is currently in Darwin and will hopefully be home next weekend (we have Jack Johnson tickets - he had better be!!) but to be honest I'm not holding my breath, these jobs always seem to take twice as long as expected.

Can't wait to see what the new BM dresses look like.

 

[BecBennett]

I can't remember if you've already ordered your dress, but mine arrived from perfectbridal.com this week, and it's amazing!! It's a genuine Maggie Sottero, and it came with a certificate and everything.

Ordering the dress this way was the way to go, because I easily saved over $1000!!

 

[BecBennett]

Where'd you go??

 

[mareeld86]

Hey everyone Little update kind of a sad one! sad to say i am no longer getting married at wdw. My partner and I decided to call it quits the week before xmas so thank you for following my planning journal so far but i will no long be posting I will still follow all your weddings though.
Thanks Lauren

 

[BecBennett]

That's no good! I hope you're ok!

If you ever need any one to have a b*tch to, just let me know

 

[tinkerbell 766]
