Back Pain Strikes Again!
There is nothing like waiting for a miracle to happen. I pray every single day that something comes through.But I also remember how grateful I am to even be getting married to such a wonderful guy.
My heath doesn't feel the same. It has been nothing but a mess since this began mid April. Today was absolutely horrendous. I woke up in excruciating pain in my back and what felt like a bump of some sort. When my fiance got home, he took one look at it and saw that my whole lower left side of my back is definitely swollen. :( What could I have done?
After so many doctor's phone calls, we finally decided to stay home. I took some of my old medicine from before I had back problems to just help get me through the night. Tomorrow I'm off the the doctor - my surgeon - first thing in the morning. I am just praying it's nothing too serious and it can be dealt with through medication. :( :(
Disney Brides are the Best Brides.
Through all of this devastation and sadness, I have come to find that I have some really and truly amazing friends. Some of you may know them as the "DisBrides" or just Disney Brides, but I call them my friends.
Little did I know that getting involved in this community when we first started planning that I would come to meet some of the most wonderful, kind, and beautiful women that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
These women have shown me kindness like I have NEVER known. They have reached out to me when I was hurting. They've helped me cope with so much of this. I have NO idea who began this, but once word got out that my Dad so kindly cancelled our wedding - I started to receive "Secret" gifts from the DisBrides. I came home one day to find a package at my door with two shirts made up by a good friend Nicole, who has an amazing shop on etsy. It's called WshsFairytaleDesigns and I definitely recommend you check it out! She does fantastic work!
Here is a picture of the first gift & note I received. It was truly special!
These are just some of my inspiration pictures that I used to begin planning our wedding.
We are 46 days out and we have yet to find a place for our ceremony & reception.
How do you recreate your dream wedding - somehow else?
In the end, all that matters is that I marry Chris. My best friend.
What We Planned..
Chris & I did a lot of wedding planning - although I probably did most of it. He is a guy. :)
Our ceremony was booked for 5pm at Disney's Wedding Pavilion. We were going to have a "Catholic" style ceremony officiated by Reverend Tim Herring.
Our cocktail hour was supposed to be from 6-7 in Saloon A&B, followed by dinner and dancing in the St. Augustine Ballroom at the Grand Floridian.
The colors for our wedding are pink, gold, and ivory, (Can't tell the girl chose the theme lol)
So many little details were planned from decor to food. Everything was set in stone. We sent information to our families about booking their stays within our room block and gave them all the information about what the timeline would be like.
We also booked Trinity Wedding Cinema. (David is such a sweet man and I am very much looking forward to meeting his wife!)
We are hoping to be able to use David & Vicki Ardnt for our photography, but I don't know if that will happen now.
We also booked Beaute Speciale to come to my room the day of the wedding to do Hair & Makeup. (They same girl who did my hair & makeup for our engagement pictures!)
All of these plans fell apart when my Dad decided to tell me, 2 days before the 2nd payment was due to Disney, that he did not have the money. He left me and Chris is an absolutely horrible situation. I've never been so hurt by anything that has been done to me.
My heart is broken in so many ways and I have been lucky enough to meet some amazing friends, otherwise known as the "DisBrides." They have welcomed me with open arms and made me feel so loved! They are an amazing group of women and quite honestly, had I not met them, I am sure this time would be 1000000 times worse.
So now what the hell do we do?
All our guests have booked their stays. (Besides my Mom, siblings) They are all expecting to come to this wedding.
We are looking into several different options right now. Thankfully Monday's aren't a popular day to get married. I just pray that something happens. Something works out.
What's meant to be will be, I suppose.
I wish I had never put my trust in my Dad. I wish he had told me he couldn't pay for it so that it was only impacting me, not a ton of other people's lives.
I don't even know what to say to people! :(
Hopefully, a miracle will happen and we will still get married on June 30th in Florida. I am hopeful. I am praying.
Gallbladder Disease? Wedding? Herniated DISK?
In May of 2013, I began to get extreme pain in my upper abdomen, no matter WHAT I ate. Despite this severe pain, because I have crohn's disease, I had to undergo a series of tests to find out what the underlying problem was.
It took 4 doctors and 4 ultrasounds to diagnose be with gallbladder disease resulting in me needing surgery to remove my gallbladder.
During this waiting period, Chris and I began the process of speaking to our families about a possible June 2014 Disney wedding.
After speaking with my Dad, who apologized for all the mistakes he made with the first wedding situation, we decided to go forward with the Disney wedding. My Dad, being traditional, or so I thought, told me he would pay for everything.
I used most of my savings that I had in order to put our deposit down on our wedding. Any money I got, I used to put deposits down the secure vendors that we knew we wanted!
In July 2013, Chris & I signed our wedding contract for a June 30th, 2014 Wishes Wedding. It was my dream coming true. Even though I was going through hell and in more pain with each day, I tried to look on the bright side. Planning our wedding was just fun for me. So it made me very happy to really do this!
I ended up having surgery in August of 2013 to remove my gallbladder. After the removal of my gallbladder, I had an extremely tough recovery. My blood count dropped way below normal - resulting in me being pricked about 50 times with different needles, trying to get blood from me. A week after my surgery, all of a sudden a sharp pain ran down my left leg beginning in my lower back. It was excruciating!
I finally was recommended by my doctor to go to a Orthopedist, who actually thought the only way I would get true and honest relief is surgery. 3 surgeries in ONE YEAR? AHHH! But it happened. Novemeber 2013 I had surgery on my lower back. It was an extremely hard recovery and I still to this day have nerve damage from it.
Just hoping I can make it through 2014 without any major surgeries. *fingers crossed*
Thank you to David & Vicki Ardnt Photography for our AMAZING pictures!
We actually were voted Best Engagement Pictures by the Magical Day Awards on the Disney Wedding Blog! Pretty cool! :)
Let the Wedding Planning Begin! Or maybe not.
When Chris & I returned home from Disney World, we had discussed having some time to save up money to have an at home wedding.
After speaking with my parents, they both wanted me to begin to look at venues. Little did I know what was going to happen when this began. I loved one of the venues we looked at and went to begin the process of planning a June 2013 wedding, but right when the contract was due, my Dad decided that this wasn't the time. How he did this was very upsetting, but no where near as upsetting as to what is happening now.
We put off wedding planning for awhile. We finally came back around to it after a few months. (We were still in 2012.) This is when we began discussing having a "Disney" wedding.
At first, I wanted to do it around Christmas time. (A good time where everyone is off and could make it!)
We almost went ahead with book a December 2013 Wedding, but didn't because nothing could be settled upon.
I had sworn off having a regular wedding. I figured we were just going to have to elope because we had no other choice.
Then! April 2013 rolled around. I was very sick for most of 2012 and Chris thought I deserved a break. So he booked a Disney trip for us! During our trip, we had scheduled a site visit with Disney Fairytale Weddings, but on the day of our visit, I got very very sick in the morning. However, that afternoon, I got my hair & makeup done by Jackie from Beaute Speciale. We had decided to take engagement pictures in Disney because even if we couldn't have a Disney wedding, at least we could have some great photos to remember.
We met David & Vicki Ardnt, who came highly recommended by other Disney brides, in April of 2013. We instantly clicked! They were an absolute delight to hang out with, nevermind the pictures! (Which are AMAZING!)
That day when we finished our photoshoot and Vicki & David dropped us off at Downtown Disney for dinner at Paradiso 37, we decided that we for sure wanted to have a Disney wedding.
So the planning began again..
Then I got sick.
An Engagement to Remember
Chris and I met in college. We actually had our first class at Berkeley College together. It was called computer essentials. Pretty crazy right? We sat next to each other. Little did I know, I was sitting next to my future husband.
After asking me on February 2, 2007, for the 7th time I might add (I had just gotten out of a terrible relationship and I was petrified to get involved like that with someone) Chris and I have been inseparable.
We've had our fair share of hard times and made a lot of stupid decisions, but when it all comes down to it, we love it's other so much. The only time we really broke up was for a couple of months in 2009. Things we'd like to look back on and forget..
Nevertheless, we have prevailed!
In January 2012, Chris had planned a whole surprise trip to Disney for us. However, for most of December & January I was extremely sick. I spent most of the time in a hospital actually. Chris went crazy not knowing whether or not he should propose to me at the hospital, as the week before we were supposed to leave, I got admitted and had to go on very strong medicine. I was in the hospital for 6 days. Everyone in my family was in on the plan and told Chris that he still should bring me to Disney if my doctor's cleared me to go.
After a horrible hospital stay, Chris whisked me off to Florida on January 29th, 2012. (Disney is truly the best medicine!)
Anyway, when we arrived at Disney's Boardwalk - we were immediately directed over to the "Concierge" desk who brought us up an elevator and around to the "Club Level" floor. If someone could have been filming it, I am sure they would be laughing because entire this entire time, I was in complete and utter shock. I just kept looking and Chris saying, "What did you do?" Haha
Little did I know, he had booked a 1 bedroom villa for us to stay in. It was 2 FLOORS!! It was simply amazing. I literally started crying when we got there. I couldn't believe that a day before I had been in a hospital bed and now here I was in Disney World in this amazingly beautiful room.
I still don't know how he kept that a secret from me!
Moving on. That night, Chris & I went off the Magic Kingdom. It's my absolute favorite park. We walked down Main Street. Took some pictures. Went on Pirates, the Haunted Mansion. The whole time we were walking around, Chris was on his phone texting. I just kept asking him if everything was ok and who was he texting and he would just say, "my mom."
After going on the Haunted Mansion it was pretty dark out now and the castle was lit up a beautiful pink. Chris grabbed my hand and said, "Let's go take pictures in front of the Castle." We rushed over and found a photopass person right in front of the castle. I handed her my camera and photopass card (do they have those anymore?) and I went to go stand in front of the camera. Chris stayed behind, whispering something in the photographer's ear. He then walked over to me, shaking like a leaf!
I asked him what was wrong, truly thinking he didn't feel well! He then just said, "I have something to ask you." He was still shaking. I just kept saying "what, what, are you ok?" Two seconds later, Chris got down on one knee and asked me MARRY HIM!
I stood there for a minute in complete and utter SHOCK! I literally could not speak. Chris looked up at me and said, "Are you going to answer?" Shaking off my shock, I said "Of course!" He slipped my beautiful engagement ring on finger and then I started shaking! It was so magical and perfect. I will never forget it for as long as I live.
Unbeknownst to me, Chris's original plan was to propose to me by the Wishing Well in Magic Kingdom. The night we got there, that he actually did propose, was the only night of our entire trip that this small part of the kingdom was closed off for construction. He had been texting my sister because he was freaking OUT because he didn't know what to do!
But what's to be will be, and I will NEVER forget that day or our vacation for as long as I live. <3
Hi there! My name's Ali, and I like warm hugs.
Planning a wedding is never easy. Or at least I knew it never would be for me. There are so many things that come to light when you plan your Happily Ever After. Some things I wish I could keep in the dark. But it feels like I am loosing everything. My health, my mind.. :(
I suffer from a severe case of Crohn's Disease. Crohn's, for those who don't know, is defined as: "a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract." I've already had 3 surgeries alone related to my disease. It's horrible and the medication they give you for it is even worse. The pain after eating when your Crohn's is flaring is unlike anything. I've actually heard women compare is as 2nd to child birth. Pretty crazy stuff. Crohn's doesn't only affect your GI Tract. It also causes you have to vomit, have lots of fun bathroom issues, without even a moments notice. It also causes joint pain. (For me it's my fingers, wrists, toes, ankles, & knees that are very much impacted by my disease.) It also causes mouse ulcers, fevers, weight gain/loss, fatigue, along with a bunch of other things. It's just not fun. And stress only makes it worse!
So back to our "Disney" Wedding.
Last summer, my fiance and I finally came to the decision, after exploring various other options that we wanted to get married in Disney World. It has been my dream since I was a little girl! My family used to take yearly family trips to Walt Disney World together. We always stayed in beautiful hotels and one time we stayed at the Grand Floridan. I saw a bride step into Cinderella's carriage and I swear, from that day on, I told my parents I would be getting married in Disney World.
It was a running joke in my family actually. For years upon years I was always given a Cinderella carriage of some sort. Despite all of these wonderful gifts I received (mostly from my Mom) - the dream just never went away.
Then I met Chris. My fiance. He changed my world. We have been dating since February 2, 2007. We have certainly had our fair share of ups and downs in 7 years, but despite it all, I know without a doubt that we were meant for each other. Thank you God for bringing us together. What I would do without that man, I do not know.
Chris wasn't all that into Disney when we first met. He hadn't even been to all the parks, nevermind staying on property! In September of 2007 we took our first trip together as a couple. We ended up staying in Universal Studios because at the time, Chris thought it was better. Little did he know what he had gotten himself into!
Here are some pictures from our first trip ever in September 2007. When Chris fell in love with Disney.
