Melissa's Planning Journal - Feb 8th, 2008 - Final Update Before Leaving

[disneychickforever]

Completely Random, but I just got back from a 7 night Cruise with two of my girl friends and this happened to be above our bed in the room :

That is adorable! Was that a Disney cruise or no?

Man all these PJs are making me wish I was getting married soon, LOL! They are so much fun though!

 

[Bostonbride6292008]

I would say both too. I have the same idea....flip flops after the ceremony.

 

[yearbook50]

I love the top ones, my bm are wearing similar but in pink

Nice! I like them but I know they are going to kill my feet.

That is adorable! Was that a Disney cruise or no?

It was a Disney Cruise! I'm glad you are enjoying my pj.

Yeah. Plus I'll have my flip flops to wear all year too so I can always wear my wedding shoes.

Shopping
I went shopping again today...but this time for much needed things

• Crest White Strips - I want my teeth to look pretty so for 35 dollars these things better work
• Neutrogena Build-a-Tan - I wanted to do a tanning bed but the one closest to me is nasty and I won't have time to go out of my way every other day so I hope this works
• Biore Strips - Gotta make sure no break out happens before the wedding
• Clean & Clear Deep Cleanings Creme - For some reason I'm breaking out on my chest so I'm hoping this will work, if not, I don't know what I'm going to do
• Nair - As well...I want to be smooth everywhere and I'm not a fan of waxing anywhere but my eyebrows

Love your PJ so far!

Tux
Shaun & I finally went today to get his tux ordered. He ended up going with a burnt orange tie which will match the flowers & he liked it better than the silver. It was funny watching some of the other brides in there freak out on their future husbands over the tuxes over something as stupid as a shirt...

We ended up getting it for $150 for two weeks since this time of year is very slow.

My New Car
This morning before the tux shopping, Shaun & I went to look for a new car for me. We hadn't planned on buying yet but we did.
2003 Beetle Convertible

It only has 35,000 miles on it. I get to pick it up on Tuesday since that is when all the registration & titles will be done

 

[Tabetha]

Congrats on the new car - so cute!

 

[Keira1387]

Your car is so cute! Your getting close to your wedding!!!

 

[yearbook50]

I'm about to have my own rain freakout...

I *really* shouldn't have looked at Accuweather for 2/8....

However, my day isn't looking too good....

If I wasn't at work, I would be calling Kathleen to figure out my alternative location as I DO NOT Want to Get Married at the King Kiawhatever Suite if I'm rained out. I'll take the Lobby of the Poly before I do that.

I already broke down last night as one of the guys at work told me it took him over a month to get his first paycheck & if that had happened to me I wouldn't have been able to pay for the rest of the stuff associated with the wedding/honeymoon. Luckily he was wrong & it was in my bank account this morning. One pseudocrisis diverted.

What is it about 2 weeks before the wedding, I'm a complete mess.

I will be on my planning session that week! Its my birthday on the 9th as well. I'm wishing for good weather for you!

Hopefully I may see you there!

 

[lurkyloo]

OMG - I'm sorry you're going through this, too. One thing that makes me feel better is the forecast for Caryn's wedding day was rain, but according to an eyewitness, the weather was really nice that day.

Let us know what they say about your backup site. Sometimes Poly people get the Wedding Pavilion!

 

[keenercam]

Melissa -- your car is adorable. Your paycheck potential crisis is averted. It is MUCH too early to be looking at the weather for 2/8 in FLORIDA of all places!!! Oh my goodness! THey predict RAIN there every day!!! BTW, the forecast for the marathon was for rain, pretty much all day! At 5 am it was already hot and humidity was 100%. It never rained until about 2pm, notwithstanding all the dire predictions. I just don't want you to worry yet about the ONE thing you have absolutely NO control over. Sending you heaps and heaps of and !

What days are you going to be there?
If you are going to P&P on the 9th, you should hang out at the hub for the fireworks.
It would be great to meet another Disney bride

According to Kathleen, it looks like my backup is the Wedding Pavillion. The weather keeps flip flopping so I"m staying positive.

7 More Days!!!


I leave in 4!

 

[Starr W.]

As the family packer, I start watching the weather first 15 days out on Accuweather, then at 10 days start comparing it to Weather.com. For MLK it was pretty funny, one was forecasting warmer but rainy, the other sunny but chilly. About 5 days out they start to come together.

The forecast change sometimes a couple times per day. You also can check historical number on weatherunderground(that's when I figured out Thanksgiving of 2006 was an abnormality).

Will be doing my "dry weather dance" for you also!

But at least you have the WP as a back up and not some room in a convention center.

I'm not going to let it worry me, especially with so much more to worry about currently.
