Another Mini Update
OMG I'm so sorry guys, I've been so AWOL! I feel so out of the wedding planning loop!!! I've actually just started a new job and things have just been kind of crazy really! It's longer hours and pretty full on, so I've been getting home later, cooking dinner and just flopping in front of Netflix. I've barely thought about wedding planning or our Christmas trip and it's just not acceptable!!! One good thing though, is our countdown seems to have shrunk overnight cause I haven't been keeping an eye on it! 180 days baby, woooooo! Getting so close to our Christmas trip it's just too exciting!!
So, there has been an exciting development on the wedding front! In amongst starting my new job and getting used to such a change, I have been emailing DFTW
We got assigned our wedding coordinator, the lovely Kristi (with an i, love that) and she is just the sweetest! The first thing I asked her was would we be able to do our planning session when we're in Florida over Christmas. I was pretty much on tenterhooks the whole day but then she replied, YAY, and said although it is a busy time for them, she was pretty sure (she couldn't say 100% which is fair enough!) we'd be able to do it. I did explain that we're from the UK and about Ben's job etc, and I feel happy that she'll do everything she can for us
She said we may get a different planner for our planning session than our actual planner, due to vacations etc, but that's fine
And she said it would probably be 20-23rd Dec, or 27-29th
all fine! I said we will literally do any date you can squeeze us in haha!
Phew, so relieved. Fingers crossed it'll all work out. After that, we then told her the dates and locations we'd like and we are now PENCILLED IN for
October 19th 2016, 2.30pm at the Wedding Pavilion How exciting! She said as of now, our date is clear. I also said I was worried about the lottery and she told me to try not to worry as most of the time it works out fine
So we shall see! I think if another bride wants that date she'll let us know, and then we'd need to give her our backup times/dates etc. But I'm not going to think about that unless I have to!
Things are honestly starting to get so exciting though. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have a trip at WDW booked for CHRISTMAS to plan our DISNEY WEDDING, and then actually be flying back out to Florida again in under 10 months for the actual wedding!!! How is this happening!? We've had a few guests get booked up too with the current UK offer thats on, so that is really cool too. It's really starting to happen! And my job is all good and going really well and although it's hard work, I don't have the threat of possible redunancy hanging over me like I did at my old job (which I loved, but not that part!) and Ben's job is going really well and things are just good
So that's it, sorry it was just a short one! Hopefully this week I'll be able to do a full update about something more exciting, like colour schemes and details and photography!
Need to get back into the swing of things!
