[DisneyBrideToni]

Sarah have a wonderful time in Mexico!! Can't wait until you get back to hear your trip report! :cool1:

[Racey]

Sarah - it's brilliant.

In fact, can I ask a question (you dont have to reply on here, pm will be fine) but how much did the videographer cost and was it just the ceremony you got taped?

I didnt want a video, but i'm actually thinking of changing my mind just for the ceremony now

I simply CAN NOT wait for your whole trip report and to read how the whole day went. You looked stunning and must be so happy.

Enjoy mexico

[October Bride]

Have a great time honey.

I can not wait to see piccies!!!

Oh lord its only two weeks till we leave and three weeks today till the wedding :scared1:

[orangetiggs]

we had stan for 4 hours so got the cermony and the important bits of the reception such as cake cutting toasts etc. We paid around $1400 i think but his vidoes look great, there are cheaper options with other videographers.

October bride - I cant wait to see all your pics! We are in mexico now but I wish we had more time in disney!! I'm planning the next trip already for our anniversary!!

[Keira1387]

Hope your having fun in Mexico!!!

[orangetiggs]

Travel Day

Ok this day was very boring!! we got up at 3am to be picked up at 4am to travel to the airport.

DF parents were picking us up in their taxi and my parents were to meet us at the airport.

So we got to the airport around 5am and went straight to check our bags in, we all managed to get seats together which was good.

We then all decided to get some breakfast, by this point it was around 7am am I was waiting for my friends who were travelling down from scotland. They finally landed around 8.30am and it was good to see them. The could not miss us as I was wearing a BRIDE TO BE t-shirt and df had his GROOM cap on!!

Our flight was slightly delayed so we were a bit late arriving into orlanod airport.

We quickly got through immigration and headed to the car hire desk. We had two cars, I was driving one and my dad was driving the other.

We got to the cars and I said to my dad follow me as we have been to disney loads so know the way. He lost us comeing out of the car park!!! He then missed all the signs and started heading towards Cape Canaveral!!

While we were driving the sky opened and its poured down! I was driving so slow as I was not used to such heavy rain, even with this we got to Coronado springs around 5:15pm and had to wait 45 mins for my parents to show up!!

We then all checked in and after much trouble we finally all got in the same block. We stayed in ranchos 8a, i wanted cabanas or casitas but no luck there.

We were right near bus stop 4 which was very handy.

We found our rooms and then decided to drive to POFQ for their food court for dinner, as I had a 7 seater we all jumped in one car and had a mini tour of disney.

By 9:30pm we were all pretty tired so went to bed ready for the next day.

Day 2- Our trip to the courthouse..........

[Donald'sGirl]

Sarah I am so happy you started your TR!!! I can't wait to read more!

[Pinkerbell1983]

Woo Hoo your trip report!!! Can't wait to read more!!!

[meryll83]

Are you still on holiday but starting your trippie? That's dedication! :lmao:

[figmentfan814]

So, how long was your actual flight? We just took our first long flight across the ocean when we went to Hawaii and I was already getting bored :rotfl: Looking forward to reading more!

[orangetiggs]

our flight out to orlando was 8 hrs something and then coming home from Miami it was only 7 hrs something as we had a tail wind which is always good.

[thatdisneygirl]

our flight out to orlando was 8 hrs something and then coming home from Miami it was only 7 hrs something as we had a tail wind which is always good.

you're such a trooper! I can't imagine being on a flight that was "only" 7 hours. I hope the movies were good!

[shezfrombermuda]

Sarah, your pictures are fantastic! I really like the one in front of the grand floridian and am hoping to get a shot like that. Looking forward to reading the rest of your trip report!

[29apr00]

can't wait to follow along!

[IndyBride]

Beautiful pictures!! I saw your sneak peak from STVS a bit ago and it was wonderful! Can't wait for more pictures!

[orangetiggs]

OK so day 2

Today we got up super early because of the time differences, I unpacked and then around 7:30 we headed to ponderosa for an all you can eat breakfast!

The family loved it and we were there for ages!

We finally got into the car to travel to the court house in kissimee

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/IMG_0481.jpg

We got our license within 10 mins and we were off.

We decided to stop at walmart and do a bit of shopping!

We got back to coronado springs around 1pm and headed on the bus to hollywood studios.

We decided to go on muppets 3d which the parents loved and also the backlot tour.

We were the second people into the queuing area and got picked out to be the helpers!!! having seen the show before we decided not to 'help' as we didnt want to get wet! and I am afraid of the water so no good!

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/002_2.jpg

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/006_6.jpg

we also did the great movie ride which i like now they have added the newer movies to the ending.

We were then all a bit tired so ended up back at the hotel eating in the pepper market.

[linzwylie]

Woo Hoo ..............Let there be more :surfweb: popcorn::

Linz xxx :)

[orangetiggs]

i'm processing and uploading pictures as we speak!!!

day three is a bit boring but loads of pics!

[linzwylie]

Thats fine - I love loads of pictures :)

Linz xxx :)

[Donald'sGirl]

Keep it coming Sarah, can't wait to see and read more!

[jackieleanne]

Looking forward to reading more. The courthouse looks really pretty.

[Racey]

Glad to hear the court prcess was very quick. Apparently i've heard your actually married at that point - is that true?

What do they make you do in there?

Also, can I ask how you got your dress over there?

[orangetiggs]

we were more married at the courthouse. you can pay extra to be married there but we got married at disney with jack day.

We just filled in our license and then payed and they gave it back to us for the officiant to sign. He could then return it and our license would be sent to us but we took ours back and got extra copies while we were in disney.

I packed my dress in a suitcase cabin size so it could go with us in the cabin. it was all alce so didnt crease

[orangetiggs]

Day three will follow tonight hopefully!!

[lov2b@disney]

Enjoying reading along Sarah--and the more pix the better!

[orangetiggs]

so day three we finally got to look around coronado springs. we were based in ranchos

this is where i wanted to spend my days!!
http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/PROCESSED0040.jpg

after lunch we headed to Mall at Millenia to grap our bridal part gifts from things rememebered. I love this mall for bloomingdales and macys! having never been to new york I was glad when they built this mall as it meant I could buy my little brown bag!!!

We then ended up in Orlando premuim outlets which we love as well. As it was labor day weekend there were loads of sales! we spent loads and I got a great paid of pink and brown timberland shoes.

Sorry nothing exciting today!!

Tomorrow is the welcome dinner!!

[keenercam]

Nothing exciting? You mentioned Macy's and outlets!! I'd say that's exciting! ;) Oh, and pink and brown Tims???? :cloud9:
Looking forward to hearing more, Sarah! :hug:

[jackieleanne]

Lovely pictures the Coronado looks like a nice resort. :goodvibes

[orangetiggs]

cornado was a lovely resort we just found it too big. we hardly ever used our mugs as it was such a long walk to fill them up!!

For our anniversary trip next august we are staying in POFQ and we havent stayed there before so I'm looking forward to that

[29apr00]

Oh I love the theming of CS, but you're right, it's way to big!!

[keenercam]

I'm so glad you'll be staying at POFQ. We stayed at Port Orleans last summer and I LOVED it. I especially enjoyed running at French Quarter -- it is so picturesque and gorgeous!! :love:

[DisneyBrideToni]

Wow the Cornado is beautiful!!!! Day three was exciting but it involved shopping and that is always exciting! Especially when it comes to Macy's!! :cool1:

[figmentfan814]

I totally agree about Coronado, we stayed there once and it is huge! You can tell it was designed for the conventions that are held there.

:woohoo: For shopping, I love hitting the malls in Orlando!

[Donald'sGirl]

I love hitting the outlets in Orlando! They are the best! Day 3 was very exciting!

[camara381]

Loving the TR so far!! Coronado is so pretty, I am so glad I chose it as one of my resorts.

[Chilly]

Great start to your report, can't wait to hear more.

[orangetiggs]

so sunday 31st August was our welcome dinner day.

We started the day having breakfast and then we headed to epcot to ride the rides!! We did test track and robs mum hated it!! we have the photopass picture but the cd is not here yet.

We love test track and robs dad loved it as well. we didnt do mission space as that makes me so ill so we headed to soarin! Robs mum doesnt like hights yet she enjoyed this after she got off!!

We then decided to head out to walmart before the dinner which was at half five to pick up a few last min bits for the wedding. I also had my nails done at the CSR spa which was really nice, they last for ages as well. Tomorrow I get to go to the spa at grand floridian that one of my bridesmaids paid for as a gift.

Our welcome dinner was held at chef mickeys as I wanted the characters there and they were!

and of course we got a cupcake

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/IMG_0511.jpg


We ended the night with Robs cousins (they had only just got married and ended their honeymoon in orlando so they could be at our wedding), We went into magic kingdom to go on all the rides.

I must admit I loved monsters inc laugh floor, Simon and kelly (robs cousins) went the night before and said we have to go on it and both nights simon got picked on it was so funny. We didnt get to go on space mountain as itwas shut due to a fault. Big Thunder mountian in the dark was super!!! We love that one

Splash mountain was good as well. We got to see spectromagic as well which was great and wishes.

Wishes is my fav fireworks it always makes me cry!

We ended the night around 11pm heading back to crs on the bus.

[figmentfan814]

Chef Mickey's is such a blast with a group; I know I had such a great time when we went there the week of our wedding. I never thought about getting signatures from the characters; now I wish I had for the scrapbook. That's great how his cousin's were able to plan their honeymoon around the time of your wedding!

[orangetiggs]

i habe so many autograph books!! I have two from our wedding trip alone!! I'm like a big kid with the characters!

[jackieleanne]

Looks like you had a great time at Chef Mickey's I loved it to when we went.

[Donald'sGirl]

Sarah I am dying to go to Chef Mickeys! It looked like so much fun! What a great place to have the welcome dinner!

[orangetiggs]

i have already planned to go back to chef mickeys on onr anniversary trip!!

[lov2b@disney]

Sarah, chef mickeys looked fun! And I too am a big kid with the characters!

[Chilly]

Sounds like a real fun evening. I haven't been to Chaf Mickeys yet.

[orangetiggs]

you must do chef mickeys, we did it for my birthday when we went for our planning trip and we loved it.

We shall do it again next year and when I plan our 5 year vow renewal we shall do it agian!

Up next is the rehearsal day and our trip to Hooters!

[Racey]

thanks for the update - it looks so bright and cheerful in chef mickeys.

Now i've seen other adults getting autographs I think I may do it on my wedding trip to make it that little bit different :thumbsup2

[orangetiggs]

so we got our cd from misty yesterday so I shall be trying to upload some and get onto the rehearsal and then its the wedding day before the weekend

[29apr00]

Can't wait to see Misty's pics!!!

Chef Mickey's looks like so much fun!!

[orangetiggs]

So we woke up on the monday morning and it dawned on my that today was our wedding rehearsal.

We grabbed some breakfast at ponderosa and headed back to the hotel to make sure we had everything to take with us to francks to give to meri.

We also got Rob checked into his room at CSR fo the nighbefore the wedding, he was going to stay there with his two best men and I would stay in our room with my maid of honor

So we left the hotel around 11.15 for our rehearsal with the car fully loaded with stuff for our wedding tomorrow!!!!

We were meeting everyone at the pavillion and lucky everyone turned up on time. Even our friends who had been trouble leading up to the wedding.

We finally meet Rev Jack Day and he is so sweet, everyone loved him and it really put me at ease.

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/DSC_0061.jpg

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/DSC_0064.jpg

so the rehearsal didnt take too long and it made me feel a little less nervous!!! I dont think it quite it me that I was getting married untill today when we walked through everything.

I had booked us all lunch at the grand floridian cafe anthis was lovely, we had a slw slow over to the cafe as we were a little early and sat down with allhe family and bridal party to have some lunch.

After this my bm Vicki and I had a pedicure at the grand floridian spa while Rob went to animal kingdom with all our friends.

The plan was to meet them after so us girls could go off for a girls night and the boys. This plan didnt really happen! both rob and I never really spend anytime apart so we wre a bit worried about leaving each other. So once I was finished at the spa I drove back to the hotel to park the car. Animal kingdom was now shut so they told me they were heading to hollywood studios. I said I would jump on the bus and meet them there! Well1 hour later they finally turned up. I had been sitting by the entrance or ages burning in the sun!!

So all 9 of us decided to do a few rides at HS and we tried to do toy story but the wait was far oo long, it was like 110 mins!!

It got to around7 om and they started to give out wrist bands as it was extra magic hours, we could stay bu they others stayed in a villa so could not.

Everyone decided we would go for a meal somewhere. I sai we would be lucky to get anywhere on disney as it was quite late by the time we got back to the cars. So we headed for Hooters!!!

Now I dont think we have anywhere in the UK like this place. Rob says everytime we go can we go and I say no!! So I am fine with this, some of the other girs were not but it was not that bad. There was only one single guy in our group and he LOVED it. I didnt think the food was that bad and it was so cheap.

On the way out one o the best men asked if they could have a pic done with the girls.

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/Hooterspic.jpg

we then got back to the hotel around 11 and went our seperateways till tomorrow, Our wedding Day!!

[disneygal922]

I love reading your TR Sarah! :goodvibes I'm getting so excited for the wedding day report! :goodvibes

[orangetiggs]

Tuesday 2nd Sept, OUR WEDDING DAY :cool1:

So our alarm was set for 7am so we could grab some food before ana arrived at 8:30am.

We got up and Df parents said they would get us some food so we didnt bump into the boys. We were not seeing each other before the ceremony.

8.30am arrived and Ana turned up to start all the hair and makeups. First was my two bm and then my mum then I got in the chair!

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/58027.jpg

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/58064.jpg

I loved my hair on the wedding day, it was so much better than my trail and I'm so pleased I stuck with Ana.

My sister who is 12 had her hair done at BBB and I thought she looked great, Ana's assistant (I feel bad as I dont remember her name) toucherd her makeup up.

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/58065.jpg

Then before we knew it Misty was at the door, it was 11am!!! Misty and Nelio were fantastic, they were one of the best decisions we made during this wedding.

They got straight to work.

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/58070.jpg

While I was getting in my dress Nelio went over to the boys and got a few getting ready pics of them

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/58048.jpg

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/58042.jpg

It was then time to get me in my dress!!!

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/58074.jpg

I was so hot!!! We are used to cold weather and even in the room with the AC on I was still burning hot!!

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/58079.jpg

Once in my dress we had a few pics done with everyone and with the mirrors

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/580472.jpg

My parents then came in and saw me all dressed up , my mum cried straight away which then got me crying!!

I then gave my dad a handkercheif

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/58103.jpg

While this was going on the boys were getting the limo to the grand floridian

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/582042.jpg

they then did some pics around the staircase area

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/582122.jpg

then it was our turn to get the limo to the grand

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/58249.jpg

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/58225.jpg

We had loads of pics done around the grand with just me and my bm and the family ones by the staircase.

It was then time for the bm to get to the wp in the limo and then me, dad and my sister were to take the horse drawn landau

[disneygal922]

Sarah, you look absolutely beautiful! :goodvibes

[Pinkerbell1983]

Yay :yay: more pics and TR, can't wait for the ceremony. Apparently they do have hooters here in england, but I've never seen one.

[keenercam]

Oh, Sarah, you looked so gorgeous! I LOVE how happy you look in all these pictures. Everything came together so beautifully! I can't wait to hear about the ceremony. (BTW, it was fun seeing Meri in your rehearsal picture -- when I was with her shortly thereafter she commented on what a darling you were to work with. :cutie: )

[jackieleanne]

Awww Sarah both you and your pictures are absolutely gorgeous. I love the details on your dress especially from the picture of you looking out the window.

[camara381]

Gorgeous pictures!!! Everything looks fabulous!!

[meryll83]

Yay :yay: more pics and TR, can't wait for the ceremony. Apparently they do have hooters here in england, but I've never seen one.
I think I might have passed one in Birmingham, or somewhere, I've definitely passed one somewhere before.

Loving all the photos and can't wait to see the ceremony ones :)

[Donald'sGirl]

Sarah love the pictures! You looked stunning! Misty really did a good job! The hankie you got your dad is awesome, I bought one for both mothers and my two grandmothers for our wedding.

[bridetobe789]

I love your TR! I have jus went through the whole journal ... thats what I get for having a day off!! Everything looks great! So my question is where is that pic taken with you looking out the window just having opened the curtains... I see that a few times in different peoples pics and don't know where it is!

[orangetiggs]

its at the grand just under the staircase.

[linzwylie]

yeh ! more TR !!!

Love the photos, infact love reading about everything !

Linz xxx :)

[figmentfan814]

That's too funny how your group ended up at Hooters :laughing: The group shot of the guys is really funny!

Did you practice the sand cermony? I know you mentioned practice vases. I kind of wish we would have because I poured way faster than Kris.

The hankerchief for your dad was so sweet. I had one for each of my parents, but never thought of having such a sweet inscription added.

Your getting ready shots are beautiful, I love how your sister was able to go to BBB too! Your dress looks exquisite in the shot of you in the window :bride:

Looking forward to reading more.

[orangetiggs]

no we didnt practice the sand ceremony and I wish we had, Rob poured way too quickly and it ended up all grey then all pink!!!

Thanks she loved BBB and we kept it a surprise so she didnt know about it.

Yes I loved the hankerchief, I got it off ebay months before the wedding

[orangetiggs]

CEREMONY

Ok I cried through most of the ceremony so I dont remeber any of it!!

I thought I would be fine but as soon as the doors opened that was it! I just about managed my vows!!

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/59401.jpg

[Donald'sGirl]

Sarah you look beatuiful! Everything was georgous!

I love your flowers! :lovestruc Do you mind me asking what you had for flowers and how much you paid for them? If you dont' want to share I perfectly understand.

[linzwylie]

Sarah, your dress is stunning, !!!

I just had a total 'oh my god, that will be me soon' moment :eek: after reading that installment.

Keep it coming..........

Linz xxx :)

[farjojo]

Absolutely stunning photographs....the one of you just coming into the WP in tears is so sweet! :bride: Loving your mothers fascinators, I love them lots as I am having one instead of a tiara.

I would like us to have the sand ceremony and I think after what you said happened to yours that we had better practice nearer the time. Maybe pay a visit for a bit of builders sand from B&Q to practice! :laughing:

[Raspberry Bubbles]

Wow, Sarah ~ I love everything! I especially love the pictures of you laughing, they are so natural!

I'm sorry you cried all the way through your ceremony ~ at least you did your vows though!!!

Can't wait for more! *hint, hint*popcorn:: popcorn:: popcorn:: popcorn:: popcorn:: popcorn:: popcorn::

[orangetiggs]

my flowers were silk and they were blush roses, calla lillies, sweet peas and orchids, they were $250

[figmentfan814]

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/59401.jpg

Yes the sand ceremony was so funny, he just kept pouring it and I was telling him to stop, we had a load of silver sand and only a little bit of pink, luckily Rev Jack shook it so it mixed together a bit better.

My mum searched ages to find one she liked and even this one she said there wasnt enough of the feathers and such

[orangetiggs]

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/59401.jpg

Thanks, I cant wait for our video but I dont think we will have it till nov time, we had a friend shoot it as well and his turned out great but cant wait to see stans video

[A whole new world]

Wow Sarah i love your pictures. The bubble pictures turned out great and your dress is such a pretty shade of pink. I would never have guessed your flowers where silk they were so real looking.

How did the at home reception go?

I love how you have a count-down to your anniversary trip...It's the only way to get rid of the end of holiday blues, by booking another one. I have also booked mine for next year.Lol

[orangetiggs]

The blessing went really well thanks. we have the photographers pictures so I will get to that soon! so many others to get through yet.

I loved my flowers, I was a bit worried about them but when they arrived I loved them, all our flowers were silk except those at the whitehall room.

I have them at home and will be taking them back next year to have our Magic Kingdom reshoot.

I knew I was going to book next years trip as I knew they were bringing the ffree dining back so when we got back I booked POFQ for our anniversary. we are having more photos done with misty Miotto as well so I cant wait. Free dining and disney!

[meryll83]

Sarah,

How come you are having an MK re-shoot?

Did the first one not go well???!!

Or do you meant that you rescheduled it for another time?

[orangetiggs]

We complained to disney about our pictures as they are no good whatsoever so we are having them re shot

[meryll83]

We complained to disney about our pictures as they are no good whatsoever so we are having them re shot
Oh dear, that's not good at all :sad2:

I suppose it's lucky you were already planning to go back so you can get them redone.

What were the problems with them? I wonder if you had the same photographer as Carrie?

[orangetiggs]

no we had different photographers, I had a very well liked one on here. The pictures were out of focus, the castle chopped off, some you couldnt see dh in or me in. We had a toilet sink in the back of one of them. Just no good enough for the money we spent on them. I cant even bare to look at them

[WithDisneySpirit]

So, obviously, DFTW agreed to how bad they were and is agreeing to re-do the shoot at their cost, right? I am so sorry that they were that bad :sad2:

[Donald'sGirl]

no we had different photographers, I had a very well liked one on here. The pictures were out of focus, the castle chopped off, some you couldnt see dh in or me in. We had a toilet sink in the back of one of them. Just no good enough for the money we spent on them. I cant even bare to look at them

Oh Sarah that is terrible!!! With the amount of money you have to pay for that shoot, they really should have better photographers!! :mad: I am so glad they are doing a reshoot for you!

[orangetiggs]

i cant wait to go back it will be like an offical honeymoon. We booked our flights today and we have 15 nights at pofq with free dining!!!

[29apr00]

Beautiful pictures!! Did your dress have Pink tone to it? It's so pretty!! And i love your rose wands!! :lmao:

I'm so sorry your MK shoot didn't turn out good!! I would be seriously unhappy about that, and i'm glad they are giving you another one! :headache:

[orangetiggs]

yes it was pink, ice pink is what maggie sottero called it

[topsy]

More....more...more!! lol Really enjoying your TR so far, I'm sorry about your MK shoot. It seems that these days with so many poor quality shots coming out, it may not be worth the money?! Can't wait to read more!

[disneygal922]

Sarah, you look so beautiful! I absolutely adore your dress and flowers! I'm doing silk too! May I ask, what type of flowers did you request in your bouquet? I'd like to use it for inspiration! :thumbsup2 Can't wait to read more!

[Pooh_Girl]

Sarah you looked beautiful!! I loved your dress. Can't wait for more TR!!!!
You will LOVE POFQ. DH and I just got back from there Saturday. We will definately stay there again. Try to get building 5 if possible. It was really close to the main building. It was a very nice resort with a lot of character.
I'm so sorry your MK pictures didn't turn out. At least Disney is rectifying their mistake.

[orangetiggs]

my flowers were roses, calla lillies, sweet peas and orchids in pinks and blush colours, they were so nice, i loved them. they didnt look like silk either and they felt real!

[disneygal922]

Thanks Sarah! :thumbsup2

[keenercam]

Sara -- You looked so absolutely PERFECT! Just gorgeous, sweetie, and so happy. I LOVE the shot of you wiping your eyes. It is very touching. Everything was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing the pictures!

[orangetiggs]

thank you so much, hopfully i will update sometime this week. we have just got 2400 pictures so we need to sit down and pick the ones for the album!

[orangetiggs]

Ok so after the ceremony and the staged exit we all were taken back into the pavillion for our formal pictures, we only had a small group so these didnt take too long.

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/61351.jpg

One the guests had finished they were taken to the whitehall patio for our pre reception.

We decided that we only wahted the fruit display as we had loads of food for the reception

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/041_41.jpg

Our centrepieces fro the prereception tables

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62090.jpg

I think we got about 2 pieces of fruit as we were busy taking pictures and sorting the ipod out!!

We bought our own speakers from the uk and even here they are very hard to get working, the ipod had to be in the right position for the sound to come out! So we entered the white hall room to fix the music and I was amazed by how it looked

I was worried as I had never seen mock ups of our flowers etc but the room looked amazing.

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62035.jpg

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62008.jpg

[orangetiggs]

I'm already trying to plan a vow renewal!!!!

[WithDisneySpirit]

Simply gorgeous reception and lovely cake - WOW!!!!!!! :lovestruc :love:

And glad you worked everything out with Disney! I hope these pictures come back amazing!!!:goodvibes

Our sand is the same, I kept saying to him do it slowly!!

[Scrap_Vamp]

Really enjoying reading all the bits of your trip report and seeing the pics - the close up of the flowers is great, even in that detail you can't tell that they are silk, they are so lovely!

[jackieleanne]

Wow Sarah such lovely pictures your wedding looks absolutely beautiful. Your cake is making me hungry. :)

[figmentfan814]

The reception looked amazing. I loved the Roman style setup for the table (I think that's the right term :goodvibes) it looks great in that room. Your cake was so pretty too!

[29apr00]

Beautiful setting!! I really like the idea of 1 long table! And your place setting were so cute! Did everyone have a little tag on their napkin of just the B&G? So cute!

Your flowers were so pretty! Gives me hope for my Silk ones!! :thumbsup2

[orangetiggs]

everyone had a heart porcelain tag, silver for boys and pink for girls. they had their names on and ours had bride and groom

[Donald'sGirl]

Sarah the table looked fantastic!! So beautiful! I love the mickey ears for the topper, what a cute idea!!

[Pinkerbell1983]

[lov2b@disney]

[orangetiggs]

Where did you get them from? I really like them!


I had them made for me by a lady near where I live.

[Mama of Indybride]

IndyBride loved that cake topper too!

We tried to get Disneyland to make or order something similar, but they told us to try to find it ourselves!

Hmmm...

Anywhoo...your table setting is absolutely stunning! I love that roman seating arrangement!

Looking forward to more when you have time! ;)

[orangetiggs]

ok so after we got the ipod fixed the major domo introduced us
http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62095.jpg

we then went into our 1st dance

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62103.jpg

it was heaven by bryan adams, which we love.

We then went straight to our cake cutting,

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62122-1.jpg

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62132.jpg

and I told him not to smash it in my face! we cut a rather large piece to eat!

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62140.jpg

As we only had stan for 4 hours he was leaving at 5 so we had to fit everything in 30 mins so next up were the speeches, firstly was my dads, short and sweet which is exactly what i wanted and then my new Husbands!

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62167.jpg

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62177.jpg

then our two best men got up and read us a poem about our lives togther and all the funny things dh had done! it was so funny.

Stan then asked us to do another fake first dance so he could get more on film

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62236.jpg.

We said good bye to stan and then the food started coming!!

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62250.jpg

first we had chicken and cheese quesadila (sp) which was so nice

then came the sorbet with the lighted slipper

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62260.jpg

then our entree came out and everyone was like oh my! we are never going to eat all this.

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62283.jpg

it was peppered filet with almond crusted chicken! it was so nice!

then we had the cake cut for dessert and my 12 year old sister got the chocolate slipper dessert

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62287.jpg

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62290.jpg

The food and service were fantastic and the staff were so attentive, anything we wanted they got.

It was fantastic.

[figmentfan814]

I love the Mickey quesadilla! I've known people who got that as an appetizer, but didn't realize it was Mickey shaped. That is so great that you were able to get your sister the slipper dessert. We had the Mickey shaped cakes for the 3 kids at our reception and it made them feel extra special :goodvibes Can't wait to read more!

[WithDisneySpirit]

What a lovely update!!! I just love the intimacy of your one big table :goodvibes

[Skylarr29]

Everything was so nice! I just love the Mickey quesadillas. I think everything tastes better in the shape of Mickey!!

[orangetiggs]

we didnt know they were going to be mickey shaped till they were served! it was so nice.

We loved the table as there was only 18 of us it seemed silly splitting us all up.

I will do that tbale again when I plan our 5 year vow renewal!!

[Pooh_Girl]

I loved your table Sarah!!! It was very elegant without being overdone. Everything was just beautiful!! :thumbsup2 That food looked delicious!!! I love the Mickey quesadillas.

[29apr00]

everything looked so lovely! Your meal looks very tasty!

[29apr00]

Our centrepieces fro the prereception tables

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62090.jpg



were these real roses floating in water, or were they silk? Did Disney provide the bowls?

[orangetiggs]

all the floral on the tables were real, disney provided everything

[orangetiggs]

ok so while everyone was enjoying the free bar misty suggested we went for a walk round the Grand Floridian to get some photos of Just my new husband and I.

So we walked around everwhere to get some good pics

this is our singing in the rain pose

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/60777.jpg

We then went back to the whitehall room for around 10 mins and then it was time for us to move onto epcot for our dessert party

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/60798.jpg

[orangetiggs]

on the way to uk lower we got to go backstage in epcot, as we drove round we saw a golf cart with whinnie the pooh, tigger and piglet. It was so funny as they were scrambling to put their heads back on so no one could tell they were not real!!

Once we got to uk lower Misty kindly asked the guide if we could have 30 mins around the world show case and they said yes! we got some lovely pics and I'm so glad she asked.

My new husband wanted tot alk to our guests but I made him go as I knew we had to take up on the chance to get some good photos

They are all gorgeous of course! :goodvibes Also, I can totally imagine Winne the Pooh, Tigger and Piglet scrambling for their heads before anyone noticed.... i am curious how they all fit in one golf cart though!! :laughing: Those heads of the characters can get pretty bulky!

[orangetiggs]

so for our dessert party we chose the make you own mousse thing and i must say i didnt eat much of it at all! We didnt have a bar here we just had the tea,coffee and fruit punch that came with the package and we had no complaints.

The fruit punch was so nice!

these were our centrepieces

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/62334.jpg

then we watched the fireworks, illuminations was different tonight as they didnt have the world that went around so it was just packed with fireworks.

we stayed in the uk lower area till around 10pm i think, no one rushed us or anything.

Here are a few pics that our best men took with our compact camera

after everything was finished my moh wanted to have a go with the light saber thing that the guide was using to usher us back to the bus

we then got back on the bus to CSR to the rix lounge where we had a few drinks and that was the end of our wedding day

[orangetiggs]

it was funny, a drive and tigger were in the front and the other two were in the back! i only saw them putting the heads back on but my sister who is 12 saw the whole thing! she was not impressed

[WithDisneySpirit]

Poor little sister! I would not want to see headless characters either!!! :scared1:

Your EPCOT pictures are truly gorgeous and I love the grand Floridian ones too!! :lovestruc

[Donald'sGirl]

Sarah those pictures at night aroung Epcot are stunning! I love the one by the fountain and the one with the Eifel tower in the background!

The food for the dessert party looks so yummy!

[orangetiggs]

Thanks, its so hard trying to choose the one for the album! we have over 900 pictures of just me and my new husband!

I love the epcot ones, I'm so glad we were allowed out

[orangetiggs]

the eifel tower one is my fav, its going stright into my album and we may have that one on our wall in canvas

[jackieleanne]

Lovelly pictures Sarah it looked like you had an amazing day. :D

[orangetiggs]

it was such a magical day, everything was perfect and i wouldnt change a thing!

[29apr00]

Beautiful pictures! I can't believe Misty was able to take pics around Epcot of you!! Your guide must have been soooo nice!

[orangetiggs]

i know we were shocked, we sneeked a few in while the guest were walking to uk lower like the phone box one and she just asked, they said 15 mins but we got all the way round to italy i think so quite a way round. we then had to run back as the person on the speakers were counting down to 5 mins to illuminations!

I'm so glad we did it though as we got some great shoots and I'm glad we didnt have dps do it as we had problems with our MK shots!

[DisneyBrideToni]

I am all caught up on your TR and loving it! You were stunning and Misty's pictures were beautiful! You were so lucky to get pictures in Epcot!!!!! What a nice guide you had!!!!

[Lizby]

Your pictures are amazing, Sarah!! You looked so beautiful and how awesome that you were able to add in some Epcot pics!

[Crown_princess]

Wow! Everyone looks like they are having an amazing time!

It is so nice to see a detailed report, with lots of pics, of a dessert party!
I've read maybe one or two other, but I especially like this one.

DF and I are also doing Lower UK and the same centerpieces, only in pink and green. Black table cloths too.

:thumbsup2 :cool1:

[orangetiggs]

our gel was pink but it didnt photo as pink, it was great, the only regret that i have was not eating more!!!

everyone loved it and still 2 months on people talk about it! its nothing like the weddings we have back here

[Donald'sGirl]

Sarah the 4th shot in the first post by the GF sign, if you don't mind me asking where is that at the GF? I would like to do something like that with our pictures. It is so pretty!

[Lynn5700]

Oh I love the monorail pic!!!

All your WS pics are gorgeous!

[orangetiggs]

Sarah the 4th shot in the first post by the GF sign, if you don't mind me asking where is that at the GF? I would like to do something like that with our pictures. It is so pretty!

its like a back gate to their deliver area! I was shocked to see all the bins etc and misty said stop and put us against the gate, the pic is so nice though I'm glad she made us stop!

[orangetiggs]

we got a preview of our video from stan today, we havent had time to watch it yet but I'm so excited to see it.

[AuroraBorealis]

I lurked on your PJ and I just caught up on your TR.

You looked so beautiful! Everything was so elegant and Whitehall was gorgeous. Love the GF pics-- that second one looks like an ad for DFTW. Misty got some amazing shots around WS! I loved that she was able to get shots with nobody in the background-- that is an amazing feat! (The people in the far, far background in France just add to the glamour!) You are so lucky they let you do that.

Everything was gorgeous and I can't wait to see more!

Congratulations on your marriage and best wishes for your happily-ever-after!

[Scrap_Vamp]

Ooh, very exciting about the video!!

[Pinkerbell1983]

Do Disney provide these lights for the buffet tables at the DP or do you have to pay extra for them? I also love the roses in those bowls on the tables at the pre-reception, can I ask how much they were?

[Chilly]

Your Epcot photos are so lovely.

[epcot1982uk]

WOW! Your photographs are fantastic. Misty has done a great job!

I am so glad that you had a magical day!

I have one question - How did you get your sand back home to the UK? Did you just pack it with your regular luggage?

[orangetiggs]

yes we stuffed the jar with tissue so the sand would not move much and then wrapped it in a towel and packed it in my mums case as we went onto mexico

[linzwylie]

Hi Sarah

Can I ask which desserts you had? Also did you have tables etc... set up?


Linz xxx :)

[orangetiggs]

we had the cheapest dessert package, it was mousse with toppings and then the coffee, tea and fruit punch.

We had a few tables set up and then the benches around the lochside near the railings.

I'm glad i didnt pay for better desserts as not many people ate them as we had so much for dinner

If you don't mind me asking, how much was it to have tables set up?

Also where did you have your manicure done? Your nails are lovely, did you have tips added or are they your own?

Linz xxx :)

[orangetiggs]

$79.88 which is the outdoor set up fee included tax.

i had them done at coronado and they were my own nails

i had the kid at heart dessert and it was $22 each wothout tax

[figmentfan814]

I missed the DP pictures until now. Your shots around Epcot are amazing. Our pictures there are my favorites too! It gives such a dramatic backdrop. It looks like you had absolutely beautiful wedding day!

[orangetiggs]

i need to continue with my tr, i will do this weekend i promise!

Thanks we had such a great day and the dessert party topped it all off

[Dr.Cinderella]

I saw that you originally wanted the tulle canopy with lights in the Whitehall Room, and I was wondering how much that was if you had your old beos? I saw on the wish book it said $3000 but I assume it is a lot less for the whitehall than a large ballroom. Thanks!

[orangetiggs]

i did have it on the original beo and it was around $2500/3000 so it came off straight away

[pink_tink8i8]

I'm catching up on your pj. Your GF pics are beautiful! Thanks for posting your DP pics as well. I find that people tend to leave those pics out.

[MainStMandy]

Everyone always mentions how beautiful your wedding was and I had to stop in for myself. Everything looked amazing! I just love the pic of the two of you in France!!

[orangetiggs]

thanks for all the lovely comments.

The pic of us in frnace is one of my favs, misty was great getting us around the world showcase

[Dr.Cinderella]

How much were the candelabra's with flower arrangements on your table? I couldn't find them in your BEO. They turned out gorgeous! Thanks.

[orangetiggs]

having just found my floral budget they were
the candleabras were $30 each to rent and the floral was $150 each from what i can tell on the budget

[BecBennett]

Where did you go to and stay at Mexico? I'm thinking about Honeymooning there too.
Please tell us all about it too!

[orangetiggs]

OK I really should get on with the rest of my trip report!!

I will cut it down a bit so only do the days we did something memorable on!!

Oh we stayed at secrets capri in mexico and loved it, i'll try and get to it soon

[orangetiggs]

So SEPTEMBER 3RD

They day after the wedding we had a lot to do! We had to take our license back to the court house to make it all offical and to get our copies, this was really easy and saved us waiting for Jack to send it in and then get it sent to us in the UK.

We then realised we had lost our sand ceremony vase! No one had picked it up from the reception so we rushed back to the hotel to call Meri or Alix to find out where it was! Luckily it was taken to Francs and was wanting for us to pick up along with our top tier of our cake!!

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/184_184.jpg

So once all this was picked up we headed to Animal Kingdom, we pre ordered the photopass before we left the uk and I'm so glad we did this

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/189_189.jpg

Now we are not sure who this guy is!

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/191_191.jpg

and I love this picture

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/image198.jpg

Tonight we had an adr for Ohana but we were so tired from the day before we missed and and we totally regret that as we could not get another booking!!

Up next our comp night at the poly resort!

[orangetiggs]

Sept 4th

This was the day we were checking into the poly for our complimentary night.

We got up and picked some breakfast up at the pepper market and packed an overnight bag.

We met with both sets of parents to plan the day, as we didnt really want to leave the poly for most of the day we had planned to meet at 2pm for lunch at the grand floridian cafe and then back to the poly to show them the room etc.

Well we got to the poly around 11am hoping our room was ready and it was!! We had a conceirge laggon view room which I was hoping was a mk view and it was!!

I loved this resort and having never looked round it before it was so nice to stroll around.

These were in our room from Laura at Disney Florist
http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/IMG_0749.jpg

So on our way to the gf we managed to get to the front of the monorail!! I loved this and we got to get our license!!

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/IMG_0693.jpg

going into the contempory

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/IMG_0700.jpg

Next up is the gf cafe open!!

[orangetiggs]

So we met our parents at the gf for lunch but by the time we got up there the cafe was shut!!! We loved this when we went for our rehearsal lunch so were a bit upset it was shut!

We decided to go back to the poly via the monorail and see if Kona cafe was open. We got there and it was empty but still open. So we sat down for lunch and the food was really good. (I cant find any pics from this so sorry about that) We ordered dessert and our lovely server got us a chocolate puff thing with lilo and stitch on the plate in chocolate as as congratulations which was so nice, I have pics somewhere but cant find it!

So after we showed our parents the room we said goodbye to them for the night and chilled out around the hotel and just walking around and making use of the concierge lounge!! Love that place.

I knew I wanted to catch the water pagent as I have never managed to see it before and we wanted to watch wishes from the beach.

We got some dinner at the counter service and waited for the pagent to begin.

Next up lots of pics of wishes and the water pagent!

[Scrap_Vamp]

Just caught up with your trip report having been offline for too long! Love the pics from the monorail - I think I'm going to see if we can get some wedding day pics with it in, as all the kids love trains and moving vehicles, lol!

[orangetiggs]

so we got a nice spot on the beach to watch the pagent and wishes, this was so popular and was very busy so I'm glad we waited for it otherwise we would not have got any seats.

Up next mickeys not so scary halloween party

[malibustacey]

oh i didnt realise you have to take the licence back?

I love all the photos.. that photo of the top tier cake cut looks lush... mmm im sitting here at my desk at work - thinking ive got just over 2 weeks to loose some weight before i got Orlando and i had a moment of weakness.. all i want now is cake!!! and not just any old cake- i want that cake in THAT photo!!

I love all your photos.. you both look so happy in them, so relaxed- the one with donald holding your hands.. aww!!

I didnt realise you could sit at the front of the monorail - well have to try and do that next time!

More photos!! :yay:

you dont have to take it back you can get your officiant to take it back then the copies get sent to you, we wanted to make sure we got ours asap so we took it back ourselves after jack day signed it on the wedding day. We got 3 extra copies there and then as well so everything was sorted

[malibustacey]

what is the Pros of having it done straight away.. ? Is there any benefits? Do they send it to the UK yeah, and its sorted once its sent to the UK, is there anything else you have to do?

(sorry for being a pain for asking when i should look into this myself, but i think its better from someone whos done it and been through it!) :flower3:

[orangetiggs]

we didnt want to wait for it and rick maybe it getting lost in international mail, it doesnt take 5 mins to do so we thought it best to take it back to the courthouse we got it and they stamp it and copy it and its done. We told jack this at our rehearsal and he was fine with it.

You dont know how long the officiant will keep it etc and we wanted to make sure we had it for our honeymoon as well, We got 4 copies, we took two with us and then we gave one each to each parents incase anything happened to any of the copies.

You can let your officiant send it back and then the courthouse send it to you in the uk (you have to fill in a envelope with your address)

[malibustacey]

Ah yeah i suppose thats a great idea.. with not wanting it to get lost in the mail!

I'll keep that in mind! Thanks!

[orangetiggs]

so friday 5th sept was mickeys not so scary halloween party!!!

We spent the morning shopping at downtown disney spending some money we got on our honeymoon registry- thanks girls (you know who you are)

So we got to magic kingdom and wondered around doing the rides and getting pictures taken with the characters, we waited ages for the snow white one but it was well worth it to get all the dwarfs as well

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/IMG_0941.jpg


http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/orangetiggs/IMG_0948.jpg

We plan to go to the party again this year so cant wait

Tomorrow is Universal day!!

[malibustacey]

[Chilly]

The Poly looks lovely can't wait to stay there.

I think I might take the licence back like you did as I would worry, does it have to be the next day or just any day?

[orangetiggs]

Claire- I dont think it has to be the next day at all, we only went the next day as we had other stuff planned and the day after was our down day.

I'm glad we took it back as I would be worried about it till we got it through the post, we could also getmy names changed striaght away once we were back from mexico

[jackieleanne]

Love your photos Sarah especially the one with the dwarfs and Snow white where did you find them? I wish we had seen them. It is definatly you I saw inline behind us at the Haunted Mansion for the photo that night I wish I'd said Hi now.

[tinks_1989]

[tinks_1989]

aw thank you so much you are a star

[figmentfan814]

I just got a chance to look at your last updates. I totally agree about the Polynesian; it really is a great resort. I have only gotten to stay there once so far with my friend and her family, but I loved it. The shots from the beach of the fireworks and the electric light parade were great!

I also really enjoyed the shots from the Halloween party. I have only been to the P&P Party and MVMCP, so it was neat to see another after hours park event. Looking forward to seeing more :goodvibes

[Sweetsus]

Hi Sarah,

I've just bought my copy of Perfect Wedding and happened to flip open to page 78 and saw your wedding straight away!

Congrats on getting published - now you can join lurkyloo in the Disbrides hall of fame! :)

[tinks_1989]

Oh thats brilliant thank you so is it just fruit and drink you served at your Pre reception we were only planning on serveing drinks for this bit

[orangetiggs]

we had a beer and wine package so it was an open bar, we wanted to serve something light as many of us had not eaten and it really went down well. Everyone loved the fruit and it wasnt too filling so everyone had enough for our huge meal

Last year the price was 7.25 per person which was the cheapest option but ideal for us

[Mrsdisneyb2b]

How aweseome! Where exactly do you wait for the pagent?
I love the picture of your hands and the wedding bands also! So awesome1 I tihnk that bear is from the Junglebook!
Keep them comming! I'm loving your tr!

[tinks_1989]

Oh right so the fruit isnt actually expensive to serve then im just too worried people will thinks its too much lol

[Chilly]

I picked up the magazine yesterday, its a great spread.

Nice casual photos of the pre-reception.

I can't remember did you have an at home reception? Was it in Essex? We are having are wedding party in Essex, DF's parents live in Hockley, can you suggest any venues?
