I bet!! I wish we could get married in Disney but, we have huge families who we could never get them all down there for a wedding. I'm going to have to upload a picture of the napkins I ordered for our cocktail hour. They are Minnie and Mickey and I think you'll love them! Believe me, we are having Disney touches in our wedding so I am all up for more ideas! Thank you!!!!
Congratulations Caitlin! I knew you just had to get married at WDW. I am so excited to hear about the planning. I loved all the proposal details. Josh really put a lot of thought into it. What a great memory.
Kristen texted me this morning and told me that you guys were getting married and I basically flipped out. SO excited for you
I am ALSO really excited that I am going to see all of the wedding plans. This is awesome. And you're getting married in Disney!?! Amazing. That's my dream! I hope it happens someday
Can't wait to hear all about it! Congratulations!
I'm here! I totally got to here how all this unfolds. Congratulations you two! I can't wait to see how this Cinderella story, oh wait, you like Belle, Beauty & the Beast story turns out for all your wedding preparations and the many other things going along with it.
Yay! I am jumping in here too! Can't wait to hear all about it.
so romantic...
I am totally going to be living vicariously through your planning, wishing I could re-do my entire wedding, lol.
Congrats again. You guys look so happy!
Congrats again! I can't wait to follow along with all your planning!
Aw thank you!YAY!!!
I knew there was a good reason I was compelled to get back to the boards last week - it was so I wouldn't miss your fantastic TR along with the planning of your magical year towards your wedding next October! I am so excited for all of you. You will be a beautiful bride!
I'll be camped, ready to read both reports.
Welcome! We are very excited!
Whoops I meant 2012
I'm not going to lie...the words "shotgun wedding" popped into my head when I saw 2011. I just kept thinking, why so quick? Makes a lot more sense now Looking forward to hearing about your planning!
Wow, Caitlin, you all are so creative!! All that stuff sounds so amazing!
Thank you! I am very surprised by how creative the ideas we have come up with are I am not usually very creative
Your UP engagement party sounds so cute! I can't wait to see pictures of the house, it truly sounds so beautiful. I love how your idea is going to incoporate all your pictures from around the WS.
Thank you! I am so excited! The house looks great but I didn't want to put up a pic until after the balloons were added That idea was my mom's and our pictures look adorable!
An Alice in Wonderland theme wedding shower is so cute too! You got the tea pot and saucer set that they sell in WDW? That's great!
I think it will turn out great! My grandma has the Alice in Wonderland tea pot and cup that we are going to use but the rest of the tea cups we got at garage sales It ended up being about $20 for all the cups I think
Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie so for that! How beautiful! Ahhh I'm so excited, I think wedding planning in general is so exciting and in Disney, well that's just even better!
It is such a good movie! I was thinking of an UP! wedding but Josh decided on Beauty and the Beast
Oh, good luck dress shopping! My advice is try on everythinggggg. I ended up picking a dress that was TOTALLY unlike anything I'd been trying on and I'm so happy with it!
Wow your plans are sounding really great! I love the themes...Beauty and the Beast is my favorite too!! I can't wait to see the pictures and the flower ideas sound perfect!
Popping over from your trip report. Can't wait to see how the wedding plans unfold.
Welcome!!!
Love that you're having an October wedding. It's such a pretty time of year. Also, I love that you're getting married at Shades of Green. I barely know you (except what I've gleaned from your trip reports), but I think it's seems like a perfect fit for you guys.
I have always wanted to go to Disney during October and with the weather during that time it is a perfect fit! Aw thank you! We really love the pictures we have seen of it!
By the way, the UP themed engagement party is such a sweet idea. The Carl and Ellie scene from the begining of the movie is one of my favorite movies scenes of all time. As is the majoirty of Beauty and the Beast, and like you Belle is my favorite Disney princess (if you can't tell from my user name ), so I love that you'll be theming the wedding to it.
Esp seems possible! Thank you! I have always wanted something small and intimate since I don't believe in inviting a bunch of people coming to a wedding that I will never see again I know his name is Maurice! I have seen that movie a thousand times I know people know him better as Papa though. After I ordered the boutonnieres I walked around saying "Crazy old Dale" which is my dad's nameThose are all such great ideas, very creative. I'm so glad you guys are keeping to a total Disney theme.
We had to! I don't think I could have had something not Disney themed!
The UP idea is adorable. I think that is the perfect way for an engagement party, preparing yourselves for the adventure ahead. I think that center piece idea is great, can't wait to see pictures of that
That's an awesome way of looking at it! The center piece will look amazing I can't wait to add the balloons to it!
Oh, Alice In Wonderland seems fitting. That seems to be one of the more popular Disney party themes for anything, not just weddings, but especially for formal events, so I can't wait to hear about this one.
My mom wanted something girly and a tea party seemed to fit
Wow, I think I have psychic abilities mentioning BatB in my last post. The idea for your corsages is so great and I think it's great how you're having a nice small wedding ceremony. Really immerse yourself in the magic of the moment and those are such great ideas for the boutonnieres and corsages (you do know Belle's father's name is Maurice, right? Sorry, I'm kind of a BatB nerd after being in the play, moving on...)
Good luck with the dress shopping!
Awesome with the planning so far. I love all of the ideas.
I had a friend of ours who had a wedding shower that was Alice's Tea Party Mad Hatter themed. What she did that was really fun was require each of the guests to wear a crazy hat in honor of the Mad Hatter.
Thank you!Congratulations!!!!! I'm loving all your wedding ideas..especially using the movie "Up". That was such a great movie and heartbreaking at the same time,lol. I've always been very untraditional and have said that I never want to get married...but getting married in Disney is definitely the exception,lol. Congratulations again and keep all of us updated. :
CONGRATS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT!!!! The Disney Wedding makes it even better I personally have never been to Shades of Green or seen pics of it but i bet that it's very pretty and nice based on where it is located and it's highly resepcted clientel (isn't that the place that is mostly for people in the military and their friends/family or am i thinking of a different place?).
Thank you! I am so excited to have a Disney wedding! You can look it up online and it is beautiful! It is right across from the Poly! It is only for military personnel and their families. It is the only resort like that in the mainland of the United States.
Love the ideas you have about your engagement party, wedding shower and wedding. Up seriously is sooo amazing and the perfect movie for you two to base your engagement party on. The first 5 minutes of the movie makes every girl i know cry and think it is because of the nice, long and for the most part happy marrige. So sweet that your family is making a doll house based on the Up house That will be soooo pretty and i can't wait to see a pic of it.
Thank you! It is such a good movie! It makes me cry every time I see it! We have the house all done and it looks amazing! Pictures will be coming up on Sunday! I have a pretty busy weekend ahead of me!
Alice and wonderland themed wedding shower sounds soooooo cool!!! Are you going to base it off of the new Johnny Depp alice and wonderland or the traditional cartoon version?
Thank you! We are basing it off of the original cartoon version I thought the Johnny Depp one was too creepy!
A beauty and the beast wedding sounds gorgeous!!!!! Are you going to have the theme be shown in the colors of the wedding or have you not thought a lot about how you are going to show off the theme of the wedding? I love you idea about the different character bouquets. That sounds like such a cute way to personalize you wedding That sounds like a great way to be subtle about the theming Can't wait to hear all about your engagement party oh, and have fun dress shopping! That is the part of wedding planning that seems like it would be the most fun to me Do you have any idea what you want for the dress?
Congratulations! I followed your trip reports but got a bit behind and now you have a wedding planning journal - AWESOME!
Something to read during my breaks!
Can't wait to read more!
Still can't believe I have you in the background of my family photos from disney in aug 2010 - i know i posted it on your trip report - i feel like such a creep, but a good one of course!
