Toni & Bobby's Shabby Chic wedding PJ & TR (SBP/Attic/UK) 2/2/09 *COMPLETE*

[Crown_princess]

Booo for nuts family members!:eek:

Yay for awesome tea parties!:wizard:

I am also doing a tea party.
We are doing it at 2pm before my 3pm rehearsal, and 4:50pm rehearsal dinner.
Reading your TR, I realized that I need to think about some things:
- is it possible to hand out favors at the tea room? I have some.
- what should I order so that my guests don't get stuffed only 3 hours before dinner?
- How did you make sure your non-Disney guests knew where to go? I'm hoping people don't get lost on the way to the WP.
lol!


BTW...I have a non-Disney photographer doing my wedding and DP. Maybe DFTW just didn't tell me no since I started planning my wedding last February and we are getting married this month (too last minute). But anyway, that doesn't sound right to me.

[Pirate's Princess]

Toni, your TR has me anxiously awaiting more! I'm totally a wedding board lurker since I'm not "officially" enaged but we're planning WDW wedding 10/27/11.

Anyway, I love the tea party! I love that idea, but I'm not really girly so who knows. PS Your MK shots are gorgeous!!! Can you shoot anywhere in the MK? I'd love to shoot in front of Pirates or somewhere in adventureland as well....


Can't wait for more!

[DisneyBrideToni]

Oh wow...the afternoon tea sounds like so much fun!! I wish I would have found your report sooner....you were a beautiful bride :goodvibes

It was really fun!!! I want to do another tea!!! You were a beautiful bride too! I love your siggie pics!!! Very romantic. :goodvibes

You will love the tea party!!! You can find the menus on magical kindgoms.com. I think they have several you can choose from. I told my outside of Disney guests to just follow the signs for the Magic Kingdom and they will then start seeing the signs for the Grand Floridian. They thought it was pretty easy and didn't get lost. There are a ton of signs. i told them to meet me in the lobby so I could show them where the tea room was. They won't let you pass out favors in there but I did mine after the tea in the lobby and it was a nice surprise for everyone.

you are ok with the photography since you signed up last year with disney. I think the new photography policy went into effect for all contracts signed after October 1st. :thumbsup2

Thank you so much!! I can't wait to do my new update. I am just waiting for my CD of pictures!!! That is great that you are planning a Disney wedding!! You will get tons of ideas on here!! I hope I can help out in any way also! I think that if you get a great photographer they will take suggestions of different locations to shoot your Magic Kingdom pictures. I believe I saw one bride who actually did pictures in front of pirates of the caribbean. They had swords and everything. :goodvibes

[irisbud]

I hope you get your cd soon! i'm really enjoying you tr and can't wait to see the wedding day! your siggie pictures are so beautiful misty did a great job. i'm sure the ceremony pics are fabulous!

[DisneyBrideToni]

I hope you get your cd soon! i'm really enjoying you tr and can't wait to see the wedding day! your siggie pictures are so beautiful misty did a great job. i'm sure the ceremony pics are fabulous!

I am dying to get the CD so I can start up again. I COULD do the TR with pictures I got from family and all but I really want to give a good vision of the wedding day and I think only Misty's pictures can capture that. I have actually seen the pictures and they are amazing. I can't wait to share them! Misty really captured all the details of the wedding. She made me love my wedding even more! :rotfl:

[adisneygal]

You will love the tea! I found my hat on Ebay for $7.00! My MOH made hers. I am not sure where she bought it though.

Tell her she needs to sell me hers or make me one that I can buy. :rotfl: I just found my dress and that hat would go perfect.

I can't wait to see all your Misty pics.

[figmentfan814]

I loved reading about your tea, it brought back so many great memories from my wedding weekend too :goodvibes We had the same menu and all of our ladies wore hats. It was so much funny wearing the hats; it was definitely out of character for me :cutie:

Your godfather was really sweet bringing the postcard and gift for you. What a touching moment!

On the flip side, family can be such a pain; I can't believe your aunt :headache:

[DisneyBrideToni]

Tell her she needs to sell me hers or make me one that I can buy. :rotfl: I just found my dress and that hat would go perfect.

I can't wait to see all your Misty pics.

LOL she probably would sell it!! I don't think she would ever wear it again. :rotfl:

and it was your tea that gave me the idea!!! It was so much fun! I loved wearing the hat. I have always wanted to do that. I felt so classy. :rotfl: We were like the only people in there wearing hats but I didn't care. We looked cool!! My godfather was so sweet. I got some pics from Misty with me holding Lady that I am going to send to him. I think he will like that! Family does suck sometimes but I guess its normal. It all turned out for the best. :goodvibes

[Lynn5700]

Toni all of you pictures are stunning girl! I love them! Misty is so talented.

[DisneyBrideToni]

I can't leave you hanging so........

I thought I would share some random Misty pictures with you all until I can do my next installment. I want to be a good TR hostess. :rotfl:

Misty just sent me these today. They are pretty awesome. She did some special editing to them since they were some of her favorites. She did a softening effect to the pictures.

You gotta love Richard at the GF!!!

I may have more later. I think she is editing more as we speak. :rotfl:

Again, I HIGHLY recommend Misty. She is a woman and a woman knows what a bride wants to capture. Misty captured pictures above and beyond what I would have even thought of! She was amazing.

[Lynn5700]

I love them Toni!!! Girl you have awesome legs!!

Your pictures make me wish I booked Misty for my wedding day. I love the coloring in all her photos. Everything is always so dreamy looking.

[disneygal922]

Toni, your pics are gorgeous! I'm so happy to hear you had such a wonderful experience with Misty. I'm so excited that DF and I are fortunate enough to have her at our wedding next year. Thank you so much for recommending her! :goodvibes

[29apr00]

WOW great pictures! I love the shoe on the stairs!!

[Goldeelox9]

Toni your pictures are amazing! I can not wait to read more! Your edding sounds like a dream come true!

[tiggersam00]

I love the Cinderella pic too, very cute Idea... I may be asking for it from Misty now, if you don't mind me "borrowing" ideas of course:goodvibes . I love how casual all her pics feel, very natural and relaxed, I love that! Nothing looks forced at all, very cool! You look fabulous as always!

[irisbud]

Toni, your pictures are absolutly beautiful. You were a gorgeous bride! Misty did a fabulous job with your pics! I'm glad you love them.

And Lynn's right: You have great legs, LOL!

[figmentfan814]

and it was your tea that gave me the idea!!! It was so much fun! I loved wearing the hat. I have always wanted to do that. I felt so classy. :rotfl: We were like the only people in there wearing hats but I didn't care. We looked cool!!

It is funny how wearing the hats can make you feel so different. On a wedding special last year I saw a bride who had a tea party before her wedding (not Disney) and had custom hats made for each person that attended by a designer who makes ones for ladies that go to the Kentucky Derby. I don't think my $10 hat from the clearance rack at Sear's was quite the same :rotfl:

Your pictures are so beautiful! Misty did a great job :bride: My favorites are the shot with Richard straightening your dress, the Cinderella shoe shot and some of the reflection pictures. The one at the Boardwalk sign is great too because you really look like you're on a mission to get somewhere :goodvibes

[tlhbdm]

Absolutely stunning.

[Flurbee]

Toni,

OH MY GOSH!!! Your pictures are stunning!! I just love them, and you look so gorgeous!! I have definitely decided to book Misty for our wedding in 2011!!! Although, I am sad that she won't be able to take pics at the DP. I wonder how much Disney photography would charge just to do the DP. Hmmm..anyways, I really like the pic of you at the Boardwalk in that red chair with you dress all poufed up around you.:lovestruc ..Can't wait to see the wedding day!!

[adisneygal]

LOL she probably would sell it!! I don't think she would ever wear it again. :rotfl:



PM if you find out she wants to sell it.

Ok, your pics are amazing! Just gorgeous! Oh and you have rockin legs!!! If I had legs like that, I would have been showing them off all day...:rotfl:

[DisneyBrideToni]

[tiggersam00]

[Mrsdisneyb2b]

Tina Turner.. is that you??? The girls are right... what did you do for those?? Mine look like 80 year old legs...I am not doing ANY shots that show them :rotfl:

YAY more Toni Installments!!

[DisneyFairy19]

OMG Toni-Misty is AWESOME... You both look GREAT

[DisneyBrideToni]

:lmao: :lmao: You girls are great!!! Thank you so much!

The leg thing must have been from all those years of dancing because I don't do a darn thing now. :rotfl: I am about as lazy as they come. Maybe its because I work on the second floor of our office too. I have to run down a staircase that is similar to the one in the GF about 100 times a day!

Misty told me that I will have my CD by next week so I will do Part 1 of the Wedding Day! :banana:

[Lynn5700]

Our Courtship Story Video

STVS posted our Courtship Story on their website. Its is actually going to be a part of our wedding video but Stan just posted the courtship story so that other brides can think about adding it on. Its a great thing to have to show at a reception or at home reception which is what we are going to do.

Check it out!!

You will love it! you should totally do it! Its something great to have and look back on. It is a part of your wedding video so it wouldn't be separate or anything like that. Of course unless you wanted it to be. The main reason we did it was so that we could include the engagement video on it.

GRR! No speakers at work! I'l just have to watch when I get home! Can't wait to see!

Stupid work!! :headache:

Wow! Just... wow! You both had me laughing and in tears. Beautiful! STVS did a wonderful job.

Stan at STVS does a wonderful job!! We were crying too when we first saw it. We didn't know what we were saying about each other so it was nice to see what Bobby said about me!

[tiggersam00]

Oh my goodness Toni, I love it! I love how he got to video you both in the MK, I didn't know they could do that anymore??

[Flurbee]

Toni,

Oh my gosh!! Your courtship story was so beautiful!! :lovestruc I was bawling!! I know that sounds corny, but I cry at the drop of a hat these days...:lmao: Anyways, now I am seriously considering adding that to my long list of things that I want to have for our VR....Bobby is really funny....you must be constantly amused by him!! :)

[irisbud]

Okay, I just got to watch the courtship video with the sound. It was wonderful! You guys will have that forever to watch and look back on. It brought tears to my eyes!

[DisneyBrideToni]

Oh my goodness Toni, I love it! I love how he got to video you both in the MK, I didn't know they could do that anymore??

Thank you!!! Technically they aren't supposed to do that I guess but since we weren't wearing wedding clothes and things I guess we didn't draw much attention. Plus Stan's camera was small so people probably thought we were just tourists with a camera. :lmao:

Toni,

Oh my gosh!! Your courtship story was so beautiful!! :lovestruc I was bawling!! I know that sounds corny, but I cry at the drop of a hat these days...:lmao: Anyways, now I am seriously considering adding that to my long list of things that I want to have for our VR....Bobby is really funny....you must be constantly amused by him!! :)

Aww thank you Maure!!!! I cry all the time too. If you can add it, its a great thing to have to look back on! Bobby is really funny. He is always coming up with something off the wall.

Okay, I just got to watch the courtship video with the sound. It was wonderful! You guys will have that forever to watch and look back on. It brought tears to my eyes!

Wedding Day~Part 1
Time to get ready!

This part of the TR will be mixed with my pictures and Misty Miotto's pictures. More Misty pictures though.

Here we are at the Grand Floridian on the morning of my wedding, February 2, 2009 at the Sago Cay building.

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/37001.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/37003.jpg

So I pretty much knew after watching the news the night before that it was going to rain on my wedding day. Not only did I know it was going to rain but I knew when it was going to start, how much was going to fall and at what times it would fall. The morning it was just supposed to drizzle, then at around noon it was going to start to fall and finally stop at around 5 or so. That didn't stop me from going to the every weather website though..lol

Blurry pictures but that is what I was dealing with that morning. I then ventured out to my balcony to take a look at the weather. It wasn't cold so at least I had that going for me but it was getting darker and darker outside.

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/weddingmorningandday3005.jpg

Oh well. What could I do. I couldn't do some magical dance to make the rain go away so I guess I had to deal with it. Just the thought of not being at Sea Breeze Point after planning for almost a year kind of irked me. I did NOT want to be stuck in a ballroom. That was not the ideal location in my head at that time. I was hoping and praying that the rain would hold out until after the ceremony or even the whole day!

My mind drifted away from the rain when I saw this come through the door!

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/weddingmorningandday3001.jpg

Ahh yes nothing takes away sadness like a Mickey waffle but my nerves had the best of me so this is about all I could eat.

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/37114.jpg

That poor neglected Mickey waffle. I wish I had it now..lol. Actually I think I did pretty good on the eating front considering what day it was. So it was me, my mom and niece in the room waiting for my Aunt and cousin (MOH) who was deathly ill the night before if you remember.

Someone is in desperate need of Beaute Speciale!
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/weddingmorningandday3003.jpg

So while I was eating my Mickey waffles we got a phone call from my Aunt and cousin. They were at the Floridian and they needed to find our room. I went out on the balcony to wave to them so they knew where we were.

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/weddingmorningandday3013.jpg

I finally was able to give my MOH her present which I was SUPPOSED to give her the night before.

Mickey Purse (she loves cherries)

Matching wallet

Her wedding day jewelry

and a Mickey locket
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/weddingmorningandday3023.jpg

after the gifts were open, we sat around and chatted for a little more and then we heard a knock on the door. It was Ana and Lilly from Beaute Speciale. They were fabulous. First Ana started up on my MOH while Lilly did my mom's make-up. Then Lilly went on to doing the MOH makeup. I just sat back and took pictures..lol

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/weddingmorningandday3028.jpg

They were fantastic. It was like having a group of friends all gossiping together. They really calmed me down. We talked about celebrities that they have worked on and what was on television at that time. It was so funny. It took my mind off of the rain outside.

[DisneyBrideToni]

Finally it was my turn! I was excited. I showed Ana the picture I had saved on my computer of the hairstyle I wanted (which I posted in my PJ). She said she has seen that picture alot and knew exactly what to do. LOL. Its amazing how she could just glance at it and know what to do. She had been working on my hair for a while when Misty came in and did some getting ready shots.

I have to admit I felt like a celebrity having my hair and make-up done at the same time..lol.

Checking out the finished product.

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/37035.jpg

Ana and Lilly did an excellent job!!! I couldn't believe how perfect she got my hair. It looked just like the picture. My make-up was exactly how I wanted it. They even helped my mom with her dress. She had some problems with the straps and Ana fixed it up for her. I highly recommend them. They were so sweet the second they walked into the room!

Finally it was time to put on my dress!!! I was so excited to finally put the dress on!!! That is when it all felt real!

My niece and MOH helped me get into my dress. My niece was so cute in her little pink dress. She looked like she was in the wedding because the color was perfect!

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/37022.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/37299.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/37339.jpg

Misty was waiting for my flowers to arrive because she wanted to use the flowers as a backdrop for my accessories and things. So in the meantime she took some random shots.

Then my flowers arrived! I was pretty anxious to see my flowers especially since I had heard of some girls not getting what they wanted. I LOVED my flowers. They were perfect. My MOH's were gorgeous also!
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/37345.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/37346.jpg

This allowed Misty to finally take some flower shots with my accessories and of course ME! LOL

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/invitation37358.jpg

I didn't actually wear Tiffany jewelry on my wedding day but I had it there so she took a pic anyway...LOL. Lets just call it my something BLUE!

Thank you!!! I got my shoes at www.dyeableshoestore.com. I believe they were called Fiesta. They have low heels and high heels in that style as well. I had to get low heels so I wouldn't tower over my DH. LOL

[DISNEYMAGIC2005]

Ok lets see... Love the hair and makeup, love your dad's FOB hat, love love love your shoes ( I think you just helped me with my search! :woohoo: ), love your dress, and I love Misty's pics! Can't wait for your update! I finally figured out how to subscribe to stuff and you are my first subscription.. :laughing: . That sounds funny!

[figmentfan814]

So exciting to see shots from the wedding day! I love the pictures of the computer screen when you were checking the weather; that totally would have been me checking it over and over. I have to admit the one regret of having an early ceremony is that we barely got any of the getting ready shots; we didn't even get our flowers until we arrived at the AAR. Your pictures turned out amazing! I love the crystals in your hair and you got some cute shots with the girls. Your flowers were really gorgeous too. Bobby's cufflinks are so great. I know I really wanted to buy Kris Mickey ones (that I wanted more than he would have :rotfl: ), but in the end I bought University of Michigan ones which I knew he would love. Its a great way to reflect their personality.

[Disneymoon0909]

Hi Toni, I am a lurker :rolleyes1 and just read through your whole PJ and TR up to this point. You are such a beautiful bride! I am plannign my own wedding and Disneymoon for this September, sadly though i am getting married in VT and not at WDW :( I couldn't convince the family- but I HAVE convinced DF to do a 10 year VR there! I guess I will have to look forward to that! Can't wait to hear more!

Holly

I'm ready for more!!!!

[Disneylove1228]

Omg!
i saw your link from my PJ (from forever ago!) and I'm so glad I was looking back at it because i saw your sig and I was like "OMG! I gotta check out her TR! She GOT MARRIED!" ... :lovestruc :lovestruc :lovestruc :lovestruc
Girl, you were gorgeous.... I loved your HAAAAIR! And the makeup they did was so beautiful... your eyes were so dramatic and just WOW! :) Misty did an amazing job with your pictures and portraying the whole thing...
I'd love for her to get pics of me in my dress! LOL

Oh, and your dress...... stunning.

Thank you so much!!!! I hope you enjoyed reading! I tried to make everything interesting. :rotfl: Congrats on your wedding and Disneymoon! I hope you have fun planning. Its a fun time! I am already talking to DH about having a vow renewal.:rotfl:

I love everything! Your hair, your flowers, your dress... You were stunning! (I know it's been said over and over, but I don't think anyone can ever hear that enough!)

Aww thank you so much!!! Look at your siggie. I love that picture with your flowers!!!! Its so cute!!! Your flowers were a gorgeous color! :goodvibes

[jennifaerie]

Wow, Toni. I still can't get over the photography--- Misty was definitely a perfect fit for you (I think it may have helped a little that you're beautiful to begin with ;) ).

Your bouquet was gorgeous! I really love how you organized the different colors instead of mixing them up together. That came out beautifully.

And of course, love those Batman cuff links! It's so cool to see all your planning paying off, coming together.

[DISNEY*lover]

Love the update. The pics of you getting ready are gorgeous! I love how everything went together so well! The pic of your Dad wearing the Father of the Bride hat is too cute. Can't wait for more! popcorn::

[figmentfan814]

Thank you Vanessa!!! I really wanted to have my ceremony in Italy but I just could not think of getting myself up that early. :lmao: I think your pictures are fantastic even without getting ready shots!



I definitely understand; I'm not a morning person either. Actually something harder than getting up for the wedding was waking up early for our MK shoot two days later :laughing: Two early days like that during one week at Disney is a big pain!

You could always do the vow renewal you want for Italy ;)

[Flurbee]

Toni,

Just got caught up on everything...Wow!! I love all your pics....you look so pretty!! Question: Where did you get your hair crystals?? They were so pretty!! Also, love the flowers, and your grandmother's jewelry is gorgeous!! :) Can't wait for the next part!!

Thank you so much!!! You make me blush! :goodvibes I loved Misty. Her and her husband Nelio were fantastic. I really wanted the colors to stand out instead of being a cluster of colors so I was happy how everything turned out. Bobby and his cufflinks..lol. I wanted him to have his own style. :rotfl:

Ahhh that is a fantastic idea for a VR!!!! I figured I would do the things I didn't get to do this time around. :rotfl:

Thank you Maure! I got the hair crystals from www.usabride.com I thought the crystals would look better with that particular hairstyle. :thumbsup2

Wedding Day Part 2!
Pictures, Pictures and More Pictures!


Ok so where did we leave off....ah yes, we were leaving the room to go take pics around GF. So I headed into the elevator and went to the bottom floor of our building. Misty saw a doorway that went outside to a field with water behind it so she told me to head out there and take some pics. This was before she knew I had no problems standing outside in the pouring rain. Anything to take a good picture right! Well they turned out really cool anyway. Here are a few she took in this particular location. This was behind the Sago Cay building.

Then we were off to go to the main lobby of the GF but of course we took a few pictures on the way!

So then we headed in out of the rain to the main lobby of the GF. I don't know why but I was so excited to walk around with everyone yelling Congrats to me. I felt like a movie star or something. It was very surreal! I mean everyone is allowed one day of everyone staring at them right?!

So we headed to the staircase which is a location I really wanted to get some pictures at. I felt like Scarlet O'Hara in Gone with the Wind on the stairs with my big ballgown..lol.

After what felt like thousands of pictures at the GF it was finally time to head into the limo to go over to the Boardwalk. I was so excited and hoping, since the rain wasn't so bad yet, that it would be outside still. Yes I know I am a sick person but I really wanted it outside because the thought of a ballroom for my ceremony just ate away at me! Putting aside the rain we all loaded into the limo.

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g229/Dancefever1978/newpage08/37461.jpg

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g229/Dancefever1978/newpage08/37476.jpg

So on the way Misty got a phone call from her husband Nelio. Nelio told Misty that they had just moved everything inside from Sea Breeze Point. Misty told me and I was so upset. I said well can't they have it out there anyway if I want it out there. At that point I didn't care about anyone getting wet, I was being super selfish and wanted it where I had pictured it. Misty told Nelio that I wanted the ceremony outside and he went to talk to Celeste to see what he could do. Meanwhile, on our way to the Boardwalk, Bobby was already there taking pictures with his family. Here are some pictures of Bobby because we really shouldn't forget about the groom!

Bobby's parents and brother.

[DisneyBrideToni]

Aww now wasn't he cute. Ok so now back to the limo ride. Nelio called back and said they already put everything in the ballroom and that they held out as long as they could (which I will say they did) and that it had to be inside. I will give Disney credit there. I think it was almost 2 when they decided it had to be inside and our ceremony was supposed to start at 2:30. So for all you Sea Breeze Point girls, they will hold out as long as they can to make sure it gets outside! So we arrived at the Boardwalk and it was time to take more pictures while we waited for the carriage to arrive.

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g229/Dancefever1978/newpage08/37507.jpg

The Boardwalk was another great location for pictures. There are so many different areas to take cool pictures at. My favorite place is where there are bricks underneath of the balcony that comes off of the lobby. You will see pictures of that below. Misty took some really great pictures here.

First we started inside.

Misty really wanted to take pictures outside and so did I so the inside pictures were to waste some time until the rain let up a little since it was pretty much a downpour outside. It let up a bit so we headed outside to get some pictures before we had to go.

After we were taking pics, the assistant came and told us it was time to go and that the carriage was waiting outside so we headed over to the carriage to get ready to go to my wedding ceremony!!!!!

Which you will get to see in the next installment! HAHA! (insert evil laugh)

Soooo.....

Coming up next, Wedding Day-The Ceremony!

[mla1977]

You look like you were having so much fun with the pictures! You look so happy and not stressed at all. I can't wait to see the rest of the day!

[anewmac]

:) Cant wait to see more

[irisbud]

Looks like you had a great time doing the pictures, even in the rain. You look so calm; I would have been devestated if they had moved us inside (unless I had seen how beautiful your setup was). I don't know how you looked so relaxed since you hadn't seen it at the time!

[Kimberly815]

Aww! I can't believe you left us hanging! I can't wait for the ceremony! Your pictures are just beautiful!

[tinks_1989]

Aw thank you for updating i really enjoyed reading that thank you again

[Chilly]

More stunning photos, looking forward to reading the next part, even though I did watch it online at the time!

[Mrsdisneyb2b]

[DISNEY*lover]

Beautiful pictures! You looked great and stress free. I can't believe you handled being moved indoors so well. I would have gone all bridezilla. :lmao:

[Angela0917]

More beautiful pics!! Can't wait to see pics from the ceremony!!

[DisneyBrideToni]

You look like you were having so much fun with the pictures! You look so happy and not stressed at all. I can't wait to see the rest of the day!

I really was! I am a big picture ham so it was fun for me. I really wasn't stressed out which was amazing.

i love the pics you look amazing. I think my favorite is of you sitting in the huge oversize chair. I also love Bobby getting kissed by his BM and him punching him too funny
:) Cant wait to see more

Thank you! I love the big chair too! I felt like a little kid or something. Bobby is always taking some kind of crazy picture. His brother and BM are just as bad as him.

Looks like you had a great time doing the pictures, even in the rain. You look so calm; I would have been devestated if they had moved us inside (unless I had seen how beautiful your setup was). I don't know how you looked so relaxed since you hadn't seen it at the time!

I was having a great time! I figured there was not much I could do about the rain, everything was already set up inside so I might as well just go with the flow even if it was a little different than I wanted it to be.

Aww! I can't believe you left us hanging! I can't wait for the ceremony! Your pictures are just beautiful!

Thank you!!! I have to keep the TR suspenseful! (is that a word??) LOL

Aw thank you for updating i really enjoyed reading that thank you again

I love your BM dress they are exactly what I am hoping to find for my MOH

cant wait for the rest and I think you took it very well about being inside as i would of needed to re do my make up if it were me

Thank you! My MOH really loved the dress. They are from David's Bridal.

More stunning photos, looking forward to reading the next part, even though I did watch it online at the time!

Thank you!!! It is exciting that you got to watch it online! I can't wait to post about it all!

Yayyy!! Cant wait for the ceremony!!

LOL. I promise to get the ceremony up soon!

wonderful update Toni! all your pics came out so great. you look like you were having a wonderful time! i just noticed you moh is wearing the shoes i bought for my wedding. except mine are champagne colored :goodvibes

Thank you so much!! It was so much fun! That is funny you have the same shoes. She eventually changed them. Not because they hurt or anything like that, just because she hates heels..lol.

Aww great pics Toni! You look so relaxed in the middle of a downpour, I give you major props for that! I hope I can be as relaxed and calm and lovely as you were on my wedding day:goodvibes

Oh and the pic where your DH is punching his brother who is kissing him is too flippin' funny!:rotfl2:

Thank you!! I really was relaxed. I was having such a great time I didn't care about the rain. Actually looking back. I am glad it rained. It made for some interesting pictures!

absolutely gorgeous pictures!!!!! You make such a cute couple! Congrats!

Thank you so much! :goodvibes

beautiful Toni! you were so brave to go out in the rain with your dress. can't wait to read more!

Thank you!! I was brave I guess. I just figured it was going to get wet anyway I might as well get some good pictures out of it. Luckily the fabric it was made from dried really fast.

You look stunning....Misty did a great job....I am so glad your wedding day was great!

Thank you so much!! :goodvibes:goodvibes

Aww Toni they are all so gorgeous!!! Misty is amazing!!!!!!

Thank you Lynnie!!!!

Toni,

Lovely pics, as always!! I especially love the ones on that big couch....Can't wait for more!!

Those are some of my favorites too. Misty took so many fantastic pictures I really can't decide which I like the best.

Beautiful pictures! You looked great and stress free. I can't believe you handled being moved indoors so well. I would have gone all bridezilla. :lmao:

Thank you! I can't believe I handled it that well either especially after you spent months planning but I figured its done now so I might as well enjoy myself. LOL

More beautiful pics!! Can't wait to see pics from the ceremony!!

Thank you!!! I promise to get the ceremony up as soon as possible!


In other news................:lmao:
This weekend is our 2nd reception. It is going to be on Saturday so I won't be able to update my TR until next week but I will post pictures of the 2nd reception after my Disney TR is done. :thumbsup2

[figmentfan814]

So exciting, I can't wait to see the shots from the ceremony. That is great that Disney was willing to wait so long before they moved it inside. I like how you got some little detail shots like the picture of you by the sign with your wedding posted. That's one thing about the in-park weddings, no sign to designate our day; I just have one from our rehearsal the day before :rotfl: The shots of you and Bobby separately before the ceremony our great. I love how he got shots with his family and the ones of you and your dad in the limo :cutie:

Enjoy your reception this weekend. I know with our at-home one it was a lot more overwhelming than our wedding because we had 4 times the number of people there. Just remember to enjoy it and to take everything in just like you did your wedding day because it is another very important day in your wedding celebration!

[Chilly]

Enjoy your reception

[tiggersam00]

have fun at you wedding (again lol) I can't wait to see pics from your home recpetion, I bet it will be amazing!

[DISNEYMAGIC2005]

Have a great time at your reception! Can't wait to hear all about it!

[DisneyFairy19]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your photos.... Cant wait to see the ceremony pics

Ceremony Time!~Marvin Gardens
February 2, 2009

Ok so I am off of work today because I had to be home while a security alarm company is installing an alarm system so this is the perfect time to update!

Ok so its time for the ceremony! After taking pictures Celeste's assistant, whose name escapes me at this time, told us that the carriage was arriving and it was time to head over to the ceremony. I couldn't believe that time had flown by that fast. It really does go by super fast while you are taking pictures and being fussed over. I was super excited to see Cinderella's Carriage in person since it was always so beautiful in pictures.

Misty caught pictures of the carriage pulling up to the Boardwalk.

These random people were also excited to see the carriage. lol
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/38032.jpg

I had been pretty worried that I wouldn't have the carriage because it was pouring rain out but according to Celeste they run the carriage in the rain. The only time they don't is if there is lightning. The poor horses slip on wet surfaces though so they really couldn't go to far like they would in nice weather.

I was so excited to see the carriage and get on it!! The pictures do not do the carriage justice and I couldn't believe I was actually going to ride on it. It was such an experience that you can't get any where else.

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/38055.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/38061.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/38069.jpg

We were all really excited to get to ride the carriage. It was really something my dad wanted to do. I didn't originally have it down but my dad insisted that we get the carriage. It was his feeling that you couldn't have a Disney wedding without it and that was all he wanted to do that day so we added it on. I mean he was paying for it so whatever he wanted...lol.

[DisneyBrideToni]

So we are traveling along riding in the fantastic carriage and along with thinking wow this carriage is super cool. I can't believe I am riding in it. My mind is also drifting off to oh no I am about to get married in a ballroom and not at all the place I had planned for all these months. My poor SBP was rained out. So in the middle of this thinking we arrived at the Boardwalk Convention Center which is really not far at all from the lobby of the Boardwalk so it was a shorter ride on the carriage than it would have been had we been married at SBP but it was still awesome and I knew I would be back on the carriage with my husband after our ceremony.

This is what I arrived to! Celeste, her assistant and some family members clapping at our arrival. That was a pleasant surprise.

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/38175.jpg

After we piled off we headed into the convention center which is a very beautiful building. I had been there for my tasting too but I didn't really look around. It was kind of cool to see the paintings of the Steel Pier in Atlantic City since it does NOT look like that now!! LOL.

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/38198.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/38211.jpg

We met up with Rev. Jack Day and he was so cute in his little outfit. I am so glad that I chose him. He was an absolute joy that day!
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/38219.jpg

While we are walking in all I could think about was where is this ceremony supposed to be, how is it going to be set up. I mean I had requested several things to be at SBP like the tulle swag, ribbons on the railings going up to SBP, chair covers...things like that and I couldn't imagine how they were going to put these things out (with the exception of the chair covers). All I pictured was an ugly plain ballroom. Ugh. So I found out that the ceremony was in the Marvin Gardens ballroom. Outside of the ballroom doors they had a table set up with my programs. They also had the individual sand vases out ready for the moms to bring down to the altar.

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/programs38225-1.jpg

So here is what the ceremony looked like. Of course I didn't know it at the time these pictures were taken but it was fantastic. Much much better than I thought it would be. They still had everything that I had asked for. It was amazing Disney floral made it look in such a short time because remember they did this all at the last minute waiting to see if the weather would cooperate which it didn't..lol. The one great thing about the room is that it had my colors so everything went really well together. The walls and carpet were pink and green which was perfect.

This is the memorial vase we had for those that had passed away like our grandparents, Bobby's aunt and uncle....

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/38236.jpg

This was one of the roses for the mother's presentation. Where we give the mothers roses in the middle of the ceremony. They were so pretty. The other two were on the altar. This rose was Bobby's step-mothers who at the last minute decided she didn't want to go so we left hers on the chair.
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/38242.jpg

My dad and I were put in a room next to the Marvin Gardens ballroom which was probably another part of the Marvin Gardens room. I could hear everything going on in the room. I heard the violinst playing so I gave my dad the rundown. Oh that is the mothers going in now.

Of course the mend were supposed to be Bobby, Rev. Jack and the best man but my cousin couldn't see a thing since she refused to wear her glasses so the best man offered to walk her down which was sweet.

Bobby looks nervous!

Ok here goes Dani the matron of honor

Wow it was our turn now. Celeste came and got us and we waited in the hallway for the music to start (Canon in D) love that song! I didn't want to do "Here Comes the Bride" so I chose this song because it was beautiful.

Here is Bobby waiting. He looks so nervous.

My dad gave me a kiss and went back to sit down with my mother. I am sure he was pretty relieved since he is not the type to be the center of attention. I am sure he was uncomfortable but he did a great job!

Now it was just me and my husband to be up there and it was a wonderful time. I was so happy to see him. I hadn't seen him since the rehearsal the day before and just seeing him calmed me down even more. We picked Rev. Jack's "Suggested Ceremony" from his packet. We picked this one because it was the most religious out of all of them which was something we really wanted.

Rev. Jack did a prayer and addressed the guests about marriage. He was so funny too.

My cousin Jim did a reading that he had made up which was really beautiful.

Then it was time for our vows.

The Sand Ceremony was next

Then it was time to hear the final part to our ceremony and wait for those magical words "I now pronounce you husband and wife"!
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/38469.jpg

OMG we were married!!!!! You may now kiss the bride.

After that we headed back up the aisle to get ready for our staged exit.

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/38483.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/38487.jpg

Bobby and I were put back into the room where my dad and I were waiting while everyone gathered outside to get ready for the staged exit. It was so nice to be in a room with him alone where we reflected on the ceremony and how wonderful it was. He gave me the rundown about what had gone on regarding the weather and how we finally ended up in that room. They really did wait until the very last minute to decide to have the ceremony inside. That made me happy because they really did try to do what I wanted but the weather just didn't cooperate.

So everyone was lining up outside of the convention center.

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/38508.jpg

Here we come!!! Wow how cool it was to have all these rose petals thrown all over you! It was a fun moment.

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/kissoutsidethechapel38538.jpg

We then headed on to the carriage to ride away into our fairytale. We actually didn't go anywhere at that moment but you get the idea..lol

And so ends our ceremony. Not to worry there is much more trip report where that came from. After all we still have the reception and fun pictures to talk about!!!

Coming up next. Pictures before the reception!

[figmentfan814]

:bride: Toni, it was so nice to see some of your pictures from the big day. I got a chance to see the end of your web cast that day, but missed most of it because I was busy at work.

So, I'm curious on some details. Do you have the reading from your cousin to share and what song did you use during the sand ceremony? I agree that the room went perfectly with your colors. Despite the weather, you had a beautiful ceremony.

I love the little touches like the memory vase. We did some flowers on chairs in the front row in memory of our grandparents that had passed away.

Finally I love the shot of you and Bobby in the carriage at the end; you also have some great ones with your dad. That is so nice that your dad wanted to at it to your wedding day.

[Lynn5700]

Awww Toni!! So beautiful! I love the rose petal toss. So pretty. Of course the Cinderella carriage picture of you and Bobby is amazing. It's just like the end of the movie. Love it.

[tlhbdm]

Everything is absolutely beautiful!!!!

[irisbud]

Toni, your cermeony was so beautiful. Isn't it fun to relive it while you are writing it?

The ballroom did go really well with your colors, which is great!

So sweet that your dad wanted the carriage.

It really looks like everything was just about perfect for you. And I love to see how very happy you and Bobby both look! Can't wait to read more!

[Chilly]

Love that last photo, i'm glad you loved it even though it wasn't SBP.

[disneygal922]

What a wonderful ceremony recap! It's so sad that SBP was rained out for you but really, the ballroom setup was beautiful. Disney did a fantastic job. :thumbsup2 It's so cute that your dad wanted the carriage too! :goodvibes

[KSchwagg86]

The pictures with the rain in it are GORGEOUS

[Lynn5700]

hi there.

i noticed your dress has straps in your "getting ready" pics but at the ceremony its strapless. did you decided to nix the straps at the last minute?

Now you are stalking Toni???? Really?

[Kimberly815]

What a lovely ceremony! Sorry that you didn't get SBP. The room really did match your colors perfectly! It's almost as if it were planned that way!

I kind of like the look of the carriage with raindrops on it. They kind of looked like extra sparkles!

[pink_tink8i8]

so beautiful Toni!!

[DisneyFairy19]

GORGEOUS Toni- Dont you just LOVE riding in the coach... lol

[not_Joanna_eggs]

Okay, I just had to share... I was looking at your ceremony picts, and DF walked by and was like "wow - where is that, have you shown me that location?" :rotfl:

They really did a good job so last minute! It really looked like you'd planned it all along. Very beautiful!

[DISNEYMAGIC2005]

All of the pics look great! I'm glad that you didn't slip up the steps on the carriage. Those shoes must be slip resistant. Except when I'll be wearing them. :rotfl2: Mine came in the mail yesterday and look absolutely perfect with my dress. I have told everyone that I owe it to a DISbride on the disboards! :hug: Thanks and I can't wait to see more pics and hear more about your reception.

[princess22]

It looked like a beautiful ceremony! Sorry you didn't get to have it at your location, but it is still gorgeous. Your pictures are beautiful. Misty did a great job. Can't wait to hear more!

[anewmac]

awww I loved it! cant wait for more. The pics are awesome!

[jennifaerie]

I am so so so so SO glad that you liked the room they put you in, and it didn't hinder your day. It's easy to see how happy you were... nothing was going to stand in your way!

[BewwyBootiful]

Toni, you look beautiful! I am so happy Disney was able to make the room look so pretty - can't wait to hear more! (I am especially curious about "from Mickey and Minnie with love..." is it worth the money?)

Thanks for sharing your special day - my first anni is coming up (April 12th!) and although I didn't get married at Disney I was still a Fairytale Bride....I am reliving my day through these boards!:cutie:

[Pirate's Princess]

Bridal Shower! :banana:

So I had my bridal shower on January 10th. It was SOOO much fun! We had about 60 people there. It was a brunch. The food was great! I can't believe how many gifts I got. It was incredible. Here are some pics of the fun!

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g229/Dancefever1978/BridalShower001.jpg




Ok So I know this is an old post but I had only read the TR and I'm getting caught up on the PJ. This is the same country club where my future BIL got married! :yay:

Can't wait to read more

[vfinder1]

Do you have any pictures of your Sand Ceremony Jar after you put the sand in it?? Right now we are going to use two shades of pinks but my DF wants to use white as one of the colors and I am afraid that the white will just blend in with the pink. Also, did you get your jars from Disney? How did traveling with it go?

Thanks :)

I actually have a copy of it somewhere but I have no idea where it is...lol. It was basically him giving his advice on marriage since he has been married for over 40 years and some scriptures having to do with marriage that have guided him. I will have to look for it and post it on here because it really was beautiful. The song we used for the sand ceremony was Candle on the Wind from Pete's Dragon. Misty did some great shots. I was so happy with everything she did. She really captured the day perfectly. :goodvibes

Awww Toni!! So beautiful! I love the rose petal toss. So pretty. Of course the Cinderella carriage picture of you and Bobby is amazing. It's just like the end of the movie. Love it.

Thank you Lynnie!!!! :cutie:

Thank you so much Tori!

It really is fun to relive it all. I thought I would forget everything but it all comes back to you as you write. I was pretty happy with how they did the ballroom. My dad was all about the carriage. He didn't care about anything else except for that carriage...LOL. He is a super Disney freak so that was the ultimate thing for him.

Love that last photo, i'm glad you loved it even though it wasn't SBP.

Thank you!!! :goodvibes

What a wonderful ceremony recap! It's so sad that SBP was rained out for you but really, the ballroom setup was beautiful. Disney did a fantastic job. :thumbsup2 It's so cute that your dad wanted the carriage too! :goodvibes


Aww thank you! I really have to give Disney so much credit because they really did a beautiful job. I was very happy with them.

The pictures with the rain in it are GORGEOUS

Thank you!! I was actually happy it rained because it made for some great pictures.

What a lovely ceremony! Sorry that you didn't get SBP. The room really did match your colors perfectly! It's almost as if it were planned that way!

I kind of like the look of the carriage with raindrops on it. They kind of looked like extra sparkles!

I loved the raindrops! I agree they did look like sparkles. Everything always works out. I guess I worried about the rain for nothing.

so beautiful Toni!!

Thank you!!!!! :goodvibes

GORGEOUS Toni- Dont you just LOVE riding in the coach... lol

The coach was fantastic!!!! I want to ride in it again..LOL

Okay, I just had to share... I was looking at your ceremony picts, and DF walked by and was like "wow - where is that, have you shown me that location?" :rotfl:

They really did a good job so last minute! It really looked like you'd planned it all along. Very beautiful!

Aww that is so sweet!!!! It kind of reminded me of a small chapel. I didn't feel like I was in a ballroom.

All of the pics look great! I'm glad that you didn't slip up the steps on the carriage. Those shoes must be slip resistant. Except when I'll be wearing them. :rotfl2: Mine came in the mail yesterday and look absolutely perfect with my dress. I have told everyone that I owe it to a DISbride on the disboards! :hug: Thanks and I can't wait to see more pics and hear more about your reception.

Aww I am so glad you loved the shoes!!! I threw mine out because they got so dirty this past weekend. Not only did it rain on our wedding day in Disney but it also rained for our reception...LOL. I told Bobby we must have double luck. Now when we were planning our wedding up here we were supposed to get married this Saturday (April 4) so we are going to see if it rains on that day. Bobby said if it does that is freaky. :rotfl:

It looked like a beautiful ceremony! Sorry you didn't get to have it at your location, but it is still gorgeous. Your pictures are beautiful. Misty did a great job. Can't wait to hear more!

Thank you so much!!!! Misty was wonderful! I promise to share more soon!!

awww I loved it! cant wait for more. The pics are awesome!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so so so so SO glad that you liked the room they put you in, and it didn't hinder your day. It's easy to see how happy you were... nothing was going to stand in your way!

Thank you Jennifer! They did a great job!

Wow!!! That is so funny. My sister is actually having her reception there in September. Its a beautiful place!

Do you have any pictures of your Sand Ceremony Jar after you put the sand in it?? Right now we are going to use two shades of pinks but my DF wants to use white as one of the colors and I am afraid that the white will just blend in with the pink. Also, did you get your jars from Disney? How did traveling with it go?

Thanks :)

I do have a picture. Actually I just took it for you. :lmao: Bobby had white sand with silver sparkles. I think the sparkles make it stand out better. I was going to do green and pink but Bobby hated green so we went with the next color I had which was silver. They didn't have silver sand so that is why they added sparkles. I ended up loving it. It traveled really well. I had my mom drive it home but I think if you stuff the jar with tissue paper the sand will stay in place until you get home. We did get the jars from Disney. They give us the center jar but not the two individual ones.

Here is a picture for you. I hope it helps.

Toni I love the glitter!!!!

[anewmac]

Something for thought, my friend did the sand thing at her wedding and when they had kids since they had room in the jar left, they added colored sand for each child. They had 2boys then a girl so did blue, then a light blue then pink. .... Just a thought!

My friend did that also. It was actually very beautiful to do. It was joining their families which was so sweet. :goodvibes

[tink774]

Toni, I'm really excited to read about the rest of your wedding day! Your ceremony looked so gorgeous, and I'm glad it all turned out wonderful despite the rain.

I had never seen/heard of the presentation of flowers to the mothers of the bride and groom during a ceremony until a few months ago, when I went to the wedding of some of my boyfriend's old high school friends. It's such a beautiful idea and I was glad to see it included in your ceremony!

Can't wait for the next installment! :cloud9:

Thank you so much!!!! Every wedding I have been to does the presentation rose thing and I always thought it was beautiful so I had to include it. It was really special. next installment coming up!

After Ceremony Pictures

Ok this is a short update but I promise the reception will be more detailed. This installment is more pictures than anything but we all love looking at pictures so it will be fun. In some of these pictures you can also see how cloudy and rainy it really was :sad2: but it all worked out perfect.

We didn't really ride away on the coach after the ceremony. We kind of got on it and got off. We did ride it over to the Boardwalk lobby just not at that time. Instead, we went back into the convention center and took some pictures. I will spare you all the formal family pictures as they are pretty standard and boring. Beautiful! but you know what they all look like. This one stand here and this family come up here. blah blah blah. We did take pictures with our small wedding party though.

We really loved the picture hanging in there of Steel Pier. We live close to Atlantic City so it was kind of cool to have that whole Jersey shore feel to our wedding.

Of course the Steel Pier looks NOTHING like that now and I would never dare venture under the Steel Pier for fear of crazy people attacking. :lmao:

So after that we headed onto the carriage while our guests headed down the long stretch of hallways to the Attic.

I really love the carriage pictures and I have to say the umbrella because of the rain really added to the pictures.

For the carriage shots in front of the Boardwalk, poor Misty actually laid in a huge puddle just to get a great shot. What a photographer!!

So after those we headed into the lobby and took some picture by the fireplace. Misty was basically asking people to move so we could take pictures..lol. They were all very gracious and moved.

After we came in from the outside, Celeste's assistant came and told us it was time to head up to the reception. When we got closer to the Attic the assistant was going to bustle my dress for me but we found out it broke. Grrr. So it was Misty and Celeste to the rescue and they fixed it up for me just in time to head into our reception...........

Which will come in the next update. :rotfl:

So up next..........RECEPTION FUN!

[AbbyPan]

Wow go Misty! Those are some great shots Toni!

You know, the rain did add that extra special touch and I cannot tell how wonderful it is not to have to squint becuase its so sunny!

really, Toni, misty did a wonderful job!

[irisbud]

I love your photos Toni, especially the last one. You can really see the love between the two of you. Misti did a great job!

Glad you were able to get people to move for your fireplace photos. We started out okay but then a group of people who allegedly spoke "No English" came and took over. :sad2:

[Lynn5700]

Aww Toni I love the ones of you and Bobby! So pretty and not you know what LMAO!!!!

I love the one of you two up against the wall. So romantic.

[kafitty]

your pictures are just so gorgeous! You guys really are such a great looking couple. i actually kind of like the look rain - it gives everything a nice shiny look to it, haha.

can't wait for more! :surfweb:

Toni-I love the one with the umbrella in the rain, one of my favorites

[figment fan21]

Your Pictures are amazing! I love them... so beautiful!

[figmentfan814]

The pictures really did turn out great. I like the shots with the picture of the pier behind you to kind of tie in your home state :goodvibes That was fantastic that Misty went out of her way to get the best shots. When I was looking at the carriage shot of you and Bobby standing with the umbrella I thought to myself I wonder how the guy who was leading the carriage (not sure if that is the right term) was able to sit there so properly in that rain ;) Looking forward to reading about the reception!

[pink_tink8i8]

beautiful Toni! your train was just spectacular

[anewmac]

OMG I love them all but the last one of Bobby kissing your shoulder is my fav.. so romantic and sweet!

[DisneyBrideToni]

Wow go Misty! Those are some great shots Toni!

You know, the rain did add that extra special touch and I cannot tell how wonderful it is not to have to squint becuase its so sunny!

really, Toni, misty did a wonderful job!

Thank you Abby!!! The rain was a blessing in disguise. I really love what it added to the pictures. It actually turned out to be a very romantic addition to the wedding. :rotfl:

I LOVE this photo!! It just looks soooooooooooooooooo wistfully romantic!! :cloud9:

Thank you!!! That is actually one of my favorites too! I love seeing the rain and us huddled under the umbrella.

I love your photos Toni, especially the last one. You can really see the love between the two of you. Misti did a great job!

Glad you were able to get people to move for your fireplace photos. We started out okay but then a group of people who allegedly spoke "No English" came and took over. :sad2:

Thank you!! People were so sweet that day. They were all worried about my dress running through the puddles. LOL. Its funny because when we went into the lobby of the Boardwalk, my train was so wet I was mopping the floors..LOL. I thought someone was going to fall on the water. :rotfl:

Aww Toni I love the ones of you and Bobby! So pretty and not you know what LMAO!!!!

I love the one of you two up against the wall. So romantic.

Thank Lynn!!!!!!! LMAO!

Thank you! The rain does make everything shiny! It helped reflect the light which made for some great night shots!

Toni-I love the one with the umbrella in the rain, one of my favorites

Thank you twin!! and thank you again for the beautiful vase!!! I adore it! I have some pretty pink tulips in it right now! :goodvibes

I loved how we actually were able to tie in Jersey. It was pretty cool. I couldn't believe Misty laid down in a puddle. She did that several times. Poor girl was soaked. She loves what she does though. Nelio was also great. He was holding my train up for me and holding the umbrella. They were both sweethearts. That poor guy on the carriage was so good. He just sat patiently in the rain while we took pictures. I just kept thinking he is probably cursing us out in his head. :lmao:

beautiful Toni! your train was just spectacular

Thank you Sabrina!!! How is the planning coming along? Are you guys going for the castle still?

OMG I love them all but the last one of Bobby kissing your shoulder is my fav.. so romantic and sweet!

Thank you!! That is really one of my favorites. Bobby looked like he actually liked me there. :rotfl:

[HeatherNJNC]

Toni, I've been following your PJ for awhile now and your wedding was amazing! You looked stunning and your pictures are incredible! We are thinking of using Misty for our ceremony.

[tiggersam00]

Every picture I see of you guys is great, you don't take a bad pic! I love the one against the wall, very romantic and great shot of the rings too! Your pics are making me soooooo happy we went with Misty!

Misty is wonderful! You would love her. Its nice because she knew exactly what shots I wanted and I think alot of that has to do with her being a woman and knowing what is important to the bride. Not only that but she was such a great help to me throughout the day fixing my broken bustle and touching up my makeup.

Every picture I see of you guys is great, you don't take a bad pic! I love the one against the wall, very romantic and great shot of the rings too! Your pics are making me soooooo happy we went with Misty!

You are going to love her!!!! I can't wait to see your pics!

Toni,
I just spent a good part of my night reading your wedding TR and I must say your pictures are absolutely gorgeous, as are you! I watched your courtship story, and I started crying, it was so sweet. I am such a sap for these things. :rotfl:

I cannot wait to read more, thank you for sharing! :goodvibes

I have uploaded pictures for my next installment. I was going to post while I am at work but I am really busy now. I will do the next installment tonight!

[Tink&PirateMama]

The pictures are just beautiful- I agree, the rain really adds to the romantic feel! I'm so excited to be using Misty now too! Can't wait to see more!

[Disneygrl36]

Ok, so now I have read the whole thing & I must say I have loved every minute of it.
I have to tell you that we have several things in common. I met my DH on yahoo & our first date was at Applebee's & we had a destination wedding too (Jamaica). :cool1: And I am bugging my DH about a vow renewal too at our 10 year point-which will be 2013.
I loved all the thought & details you put into your planning.
Your MK photo session pics were great & I loved your courtship video!!!!
Your pictures are gorgeous!!!!!! I think the black umbrellas on either side of Cindy's carriage make it look like a hidden Mickey.
Glad everything worked out even with the rain & that they put you in such a perfect room that went with your color scheme. It turned out really beautiful.
Can't wait to hear all about your reception.

I was never a big fan of the Boardwalk since I'm from NJ (actually heading over to the Point Pleasant Boardwalk soon) but your TR is really making me change my mind. Plus I love how they have a recreation of Lucy. :yay:

[DisneyBrideToni]

Thank you! I know I ended up loving the rain. Who would have thought!? Misty is amazing.

LOL how cool is that! Applebees is the best place to go for a first date I guess. lol. That would be really nice if you could do a vow renewal! I already want a vow renewal. :rotfl: something small of course. Maybe an escape! I never realized about the umbrellas making a hidden mickey! That is pretty cool! There are hidden mickey's everywhere!

I thought I wouldn't be a fan of it too since a boardwalk is kind of something we see all the time but Disney's boardwalk is great! I wish there was a boardwalk like that in Jersey. :lmao:

[DisneyBrideToni]

Wedding Day Part 5
Reception, Part 1 (lol lots of parts to this story!)

Well I have some free time at work now so I thought I would sneak in a post. I may not have free time when I go home tonight because I do have some Animal Crossing to play. lol

So we are finally up to the reception! Well at least the first part.

So after we did our pictures we headed up into the long and twisting hallways of the Boardwalk to go to the Attic. I was escorted by my husband, Misty, Nelio and Celeste's assistant. I wanted to bustle my dress before I went in since we were going to do the dances right away so Celeste's assistant helped. I somehow broke off one of the bustle ties so half of my train was drooping. Misty put down her camera and started to help. She went to Celeste, who was already in the Attic to see if she had a pin or something to hook my bustle. Celeste did end up having a pin and Misty went to the rescue fixing my bustle! Good old Misty!

While we were taking pictures and waiting to go inside, our guests were munching on the appetizers which included these yummy dishes:

-Antipasta Display with Bread Sticks
-Spanakopitas with Artichoke Tomato Tapenade
-Pan-seared Crab Cakes with Lemon Dill Cream

Here are a few food pics

Sorry, no crab cake picture but they were yummy. At least they were at the planning session.

I couldn't wait to see what they had done to the Attic. If you recall, I was unsure about how beautiful the Attic could be. I was used to the whole ballroom thing for weddings so I was a bit nervous about the Attic. I didn't have anything to worry about because they made it look gorgeous!!! Here are some pictures of the decor. I think the colors I picked turned out to be the perfect match for the Attic.

[DisneyBrideToni]

We waited by the Attic sign for our "master of ceremonies" a.k.a. my cousin Jim to announce us in. He did a really good job. I have to give him lots of credit.

http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/Mommamary37/l_0de25e093f7f41099d1a6fcd3c6f0a35.jpg
http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/Mommamary37/l_4b93d696ae6f4b7c8ba955652b7baa08.jpg

Due to the rain we had to dance inside near our cake table. We had plenty of room though. The people who were seated out on the porch area just came in and took pictures. No problems at all.

Our first dance was At Last by Etta James. At Last (http://www.amazon.com/At-Last/dp/B000WLOKLM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1239647883&sr=8-1) Not "our" song but I could not find violin music for our song which is Unbelievable by Craig David Unbelievable (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_dmusic_2_11?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-music&field-keywords=craig+david+unbelievable&sprefix=Craig+David). It was still nice though. The violinist did an excellent job.

Then it was time for me and my dad. We danced to Daddy's Little Girl. Daddy's Little Girl (http://www.amazon.com/Daddys-Little-Girl-Digitally-Remastered/dp/B000TE706E/ref=sr_f2_5?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1239648050&sr=102-5)I always hear this song at other weddings we go to and I think its adorable.

My dad doesn't like to be the center of the spotlight so it was hard for him to dance. He really didn't want to but of course he had to..lol. He did a great job though. It was over pretty quick and he did well. I was proud of him. :rotfl:

Next was Bobby and his mom. They danced to You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban. You Raise Me Up. (http://www.amazon.com/You-Raise-Me-Radio-Edit/dp/B0011ZR4U2/ref=sr_f2_1?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1239648220&sr=102-1)

We were so glad to have the dances out of the way. I think that is the boring part for most. I mean the guests are waiting for you to get done dancing so that they can eat! LOL.

So after the dances we sat down for the best man's toast. The best man and Bobby have been friends for about 20 years. He got very emotional during the speech and couldn't finish it. It was very sweet. I didn't know he had it in him..lol.

Finally it was time to eat! I fully intended to eat! I know lots of brides didn't touch the food on their wedding day but I wanted to make sure I did. That will come in my next installment!

So stay tuned for the Reception, Part 2, Food and other fun things. :yay:

[Rebclay]

[irisbud]

I don't think you could have picked a better place for your reception than the Attic given your wedding colors. Everything looks so beautiful. Like disney-a-holic said, it is fun to see everything you had in your PJ come to life!

Thank you!! I feel the same when I see other TR's after reading the PJ's. Its cool to see the professional pictures of the things people made. I could use a piece of my cake too!!! It was really good!

This is great! Did you notice your batman tag? I didn't think the TF came over here :goodvibes

Yes I did!!! I was so surprised by the tag. I guess the tag fairy thought she would give the wedding crew a bit of pixie dust.

I don't think you could have picked a better place for your reception than the Attic given your wedding colors. Everything looks so beautiful. Like disney-a-holic said, it is fun to see everything you had in your PJ come to life!

I really have to agree with everyone about the rain, it made everything seem so much more romantic!! I also really love the attic, everything went so well together....it is so pretty!! How many people does the attic hold?? Can't wait for your next installment...

[figmentfan814]

Finally it was time to eat! I fully intended to eat! I know lots of brides didn't touch the food on their wedding day but I wanted to make sure I did. That will come in my next installment!



That's exactly how I felt too :rotfl:

The attic really is such a cool location. I love your cake; all the details are so awesome! The pre-reception food looks yummy and I can't wait to see the main courses. Did you end up having a CD or iPod for the dances with your parents?

[DISNEYMAGIC2005]

The Attic looked beautiful! And I love the Mr. & Mrs. sign on the front table! Where did ya get it?

[Pirate's Princess]

All the food looks so good, and the cake! And the decorations! I love those vases.

[emilymad]

Hi Toni-I have been loving your TR! All of your pics are just gorgeous!


We are seriously thinking of having our reception at the Attic, and SBP and UK. I have been following your PJ and TR. It has been so helpful!

We went for a site visit and loved it. How long was your reception? Specially the part when everyone was eating? We aren't doing dancing but when I spoke to my consultant he was talking about 2 hours total for the cocktail part and dinner. This seems short and I don't want people to rushed.

Thanks so much for all of the great info! :)

[DisneyBrideToni]

The Attic was so perfect for your shabby chic theme. Beautiful pictures & such a cute cake. :cake:

Thank you! We really enjoyed the Attic.

Thank you. The Attic was great. The perfect size for us. I have great food pics that I will share. Every time I see them I get hungry..lol.

Your pics are so good, and I absolutely LOVE your cake! It's gorgeous!!

Thank you!! I felt bad cutting the cake but it was so good!

I just love your reception decorations so pretty!

Thank you!

That is one of my favorite pictures too. I ended up loving the rain. Who would have thought! I guess its really not that bad when it rains on your wedding day. Sometimes things we don't want end up being a good thing! I believe they said the Attic can hold 50 people but that to me is pushing it. I don't think there is really enough seating around the tables for that many people. I think if you stay between 30-40 you are fine.

That's exactly how I felt too :rotfl:

The attic really is such a cool location. I love your cake; all the details are so awesome! The pre-reception food looks yummy and I can't wait to see the main courses. Did you end up having a CD or iPod for the dances with your parents?

Thank you! We loved the Attic. We actually just had the violinist play which was fine with us. She did such a great job. As soon as she started playing a song you knew what it was immediately. I thought it was very elegant just to have her. I wish I knew her name because she was wonderful. I was thinking of the Ipod but I just didn't want to be bothered by it..lol.

The Attic looked beautiful! And I love the Mr. & Mrs. sign on the front table! Where did ya get it?

Thank you!! I got the sign from the Lenox website. I just looked on there but I didn't see it. They may have one on Ebay!

All the food looks so good, and the cake! And the decorations! I love those vases.

Thank you! I love the way they did the centerpieces. They were just like the inspiration picture I gave them!

Thank you so much! The Attic was wonderful. Our reception was from 3:30-8:00. The guests left a bit earlier than 8pm, like 7:30 actually to head to the bus to go to Epcot. I had a longer DP. The DP was from 8-9:30 which I thought was better than rushing in an hour. That extra half hour really helped. From 3:30-4:30 was the cocktail hour. We did our dances and I would say we started to eat at about 5:00. It didn't feel rushed at all. Actually it felt like it was timed out perfectly. We were all done eating by 6:00. The characters came at 6:30 and we cut the cake at that time.

[Flurbee]

Toni,

Can you have a dance floor in the attic? I mean, I know you guys danced, but I really wanted everyone to be able to dance at the reception, is that possible there, or is it too small? I really like the way it looks. I don't know if it would go with my colors though....hmm....anyways, can't wait to see everything else!! Oh, and by the way, I just updated my PJ, FINALLY....:cool1:

[DISNEYMAGIC2005]

Just wanted to say I absolutely LOVE the pic of you and Bobby in the rain under the umbrella. It's just beautiful!

Oh and I wanted to say shame on those Keepsake people. I can't believe people would mess with your memories like that! And I think you are absolutely right I wouldn't want something just recreated! If you are going to recreate it you could ask the ladies at Disney floral to make you new Mickey Crystals and mail them to you. I would explain to them what's going on and I'm sure they would be willing to help.

[Flurbee]

Did I miss something?? What happened with the Keepsake people??

[parisgirl]

Hi, I am really late in joining in on your TR, but i just came across your thread and i have literally sat and read everything in 2 days, i have been mesmerised. I am a uk disney bride, Lee (DH) and I got married at sunset pointe in august 2004 so am coming up to our 5 year anniversary and was coming on to see when people would generally do a VR and i saw your pics. You both looked absolutely wonderful and everything you choose was amazing. Just wanted to say that. Oh I am Toni too.

Toni,

Can you have a dance floor in the attic? I mean, I know you guys danced, but I really wanted everyone to be able to dance at the reception, is that possible there, or is it too small? I really like the way it looks. I don't know if it would go with my colors though....hmm....anyways, can't wait to see everything else!! Oh, and by the way, I just updated my PJ, FINALLY....:cool1:

There is a space to dance outside on the balcony. Its the part that sticks out over Jellyrolls. There is plenty of room there. It was a great space. There are so many different colors there so it can go with lots of colors.

Just wanted to say I absolutely LOVE the pic of you and Bobby in the rain under the umbrella. It's just beautiful!

Thank you!!! That is a great picture to see all the rain that day..lol. I love it though.

I am so annoyed with them but I guess it wasn't meant to be. :sad2:

aww thank you so much!!! I would love to do a VR!!! I am already telling my husband I want one..lol. Not something I would do any time soon obviously but it would be fun. Where were you thinking of doing your VR? I would love to do mine at Sunset pointe! I love it there.

[princess22]

Oh Toni, I love your cake. It is gorgeous!!! Great pictures of your reception.

Hi Toni,

I am really torn at where to do my VR, part of me really wants to do it all again at sunset point as it was absolutely amazing, but i really do adore seabreeze point, i have actually just booked to come out next feb, so we are going to have a look at all the different spots. At 1st I would have loved to have done our VR at a special anniversary but i dont want to wait another 5 years to do it. Lee and I have been through so much plus in all honesty it wasnt my dream day 1st time round. What do you think does it have to be on a special anniversary or does it really matter???

I don't think you have to have it at a special time or anniversary. Doing it anytime would be special. If I did a VR I would probably do it in May instead of February for our anniversary because I love Disney in May. :goodvibes

[blondie7]

The food was really good. The waiters walked with Bobby and I and asked what we wanted and put it on the plate. I wasn't overally thrilled with that since I would have liked to get my own food but it was still nice. The parm crusted chicken was awesome. I think that was my favorite along with the mashed potatoes. So yummy!!

After we got done eating we decided it would be a good time to go around greeting everyone. So that is exactly what we did with Misty and Nelio following to document it of course.

I'm so glad it stopped raining at that point!! :yay:

[DisneyBrideToni]

It was finally time for the characters to arrive. We had Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck (my favorite)! We started off only have Donald but for the kids we decided Mickey might be nice to have too. I am so glad I did this because Mickey and Donald are great together. They really play off of each other so well. Donald of course tries to one up Mickey the whole time which was adorable.

The violinist started playing the Mickey Mouse Club March and in came Mickey and Donald!

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/42658.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/42664.jpg

Mickey saw the figurine of Donald and Daisy we had on the cake table and showed it to Donald. Donald was excited to see it. Bobby covered it up with a napkin but Donald made sure he put it back out for everyone to see.

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/42673.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/42684.jpg

I love this picture!

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/newlywedswithcharacters42592.jpg

So it was time to cut the yummy cake with the assistance of Donald and Mickey. The cake was good but Bobby decided that when he fed me a piece he would include a piece of the fondant. It was sooooo sweet that it started making me gag. I could spit it out obviously so I had to force it down. :sick:
The cake was really good though!!! We had the bottom layer in yellow cake with bevarian cream and the top was chocolate with peanut butter mousse. I didn't like the chocolate peanut butter at all. We at that during the honeymoon.

After the cake was done we all headed outside on the porch area for more pictures with the characters.

[DisneyBrideToni]

Everyone was really loving the characters and were excited to take pics with them. I am surprised at how into it Bobby was. He was having a ton of fun with them. Of course I was enjoying my time with Donald. :goodvibes It was fun to dance with Mickey and Donald. They were so cute. At one point Donald got on his knee and kissed my hand. Mickey didn't want to do it because the porch was wet but he couldn't let Donald outdo him so he bent down and did it. It was really funny.

This is a great picture
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/43033.jpg

[DisneyBrideToni]

We got everyone together for a group shot with the characters. We wanted a group shot to put in our signature frame. We thought it would be cool to have a picture of everyone with their signatures all around. We took a good shot and then a few funny ones.

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/groupkiss42786.jpg

Then it was time to say goodbye to Donald and Mickey. Donald drug me along with him while he was leaving. We made sure they signed the signature mat before they left.

After they left we got to sit down and eat some cake. We also discovered a gift on our table and a card from Celeste which turned out to be the Fairytale Wedding watches. I knew about these but Bobby didn't so he was pretty surprised. Everyone loved them. They thought it was pretty cool of Disney to give us a gift.

We then watched the sneak peek that Stan from STVS did. It was so cool to see the ceremony over again. It started getting a bit teary eyed for the first time that day looking at it.

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/43204.jpg

After that the reception was winding down. Bobby pulled me aside to whisper something in my ear. From the look on my face it must have been sweet but darn if I can remember what he said. Bobby can't remember either but he said he thinks it had something to do with the way I looked or how happy he was. Something like that..lol.

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/43216.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu56/Tfran78/43218.jpg

It was time for everyone to get loaded up in the buses. Misty pulled me into the bathroom to touch up my makeup before the dessert party. I thought that was super cool of her to do. She fixed it all up and it looked great! She helped out so much that day. She was fantastic. Misty thought it would be a great opportunity while everyone was loading up on the bus to go out on the boardwalk and get some pictures. So that is what we did!

[DisneyBrideToni]

The boardwalk looked beautiful that night. The boardwalk was wet from the rain which reflected all the lights. It was so pretty.

Thanks for the great update!
You have really sold me on Misty! Now, I'm not sure...Mickey & Minnie or Mickey and Donald! So many decisions!!! :lmao:

[Bolanette87]

Toni, you have made me soooooo unbearably jealous! I sooooooooooooooo want Mickey and Donald at my wedding....! I wish so much that we were having DFTW.... :sad1: Your day is just soooo stunning and beautiful! I love it!!

Bob xoxoxoxox

[blondie7]

Great update Toni. Your reception looked wonderful. Having Mickey and Donald looks like so much fun. I am sure everyone enjoyed it. The pictures that Misty took are lovely. I can't wait to read about your dessert party. As for my PJ I haven't started one yet. I may try to start one soon but I am still settling in over here in the UK. I moved here from Canada in January to live with my Fiance. Can't wait for the next update.

[parisgirl]

Toni, your reception looked wonderful, the characters really do make an entrance dont they. Everyone looked like they had fun at the reception, I especially love the photos of you and bobbu in the photo booth. Looking forward to the next installment.
Toni x

[Lynn5700]

Toni your food looked so good!!! YUM!!

AWWW I love the character photos! Tim is going to be mighty jealous when I show him later haha. The one with your hands is so cute.

So glad you went to SBP and were able to get some pictures. They came out great.

I love the picture of you all in the bus lol!!

[disneygal922]

Toni, your wedding appears to have been perfect! You and Bobby look so incredibly happy in ALL your pics. :goodvibes I love the Donald/Mickey combo! I know i've said it a billion times but Misty did an absolutely phenominal job. Thank you so much for posting about her, I'm so excited to work with her and Nelio! :goodvibes

[Rebclay]

You two look so in love. Your pictures came out beautifully. I hope mine comes close to looking like yours.

[irisbud]

I loved seeing all of your pictures! They were all so beautiful. Your reception looks like it was really fun for everyone. It looks like you had some really great charachter interaction. We did too, and thought it was $$$ well spent. My DH really got into interacting with them as well even though I was also unsure what reaction he would have to them.

Can't wait to read more!

[tinkandonaldfans]

oh you DFTW brides are killing me! Not even engaged yet (birthday= no question,valentines day= no question, 6th anniversary= no question) but i am patiently waiting! i have had such a tough time trying to figure out what we will do for our wedding. thought after seeing lynn and tim's wedding i was sure disney was for us. but recently i have been swaying to something else but............

after seeing your wonderful pictures im straight back to thinking Disney all the way!!!!!!!!

can i be really rude and ask how much your wonderful day cost?

[Disneygrl36]

Toni,
I loved the pictures of you guys & the characters outside on the balcony at the Attic.........so adorable!!!!!! My favorite was the group shot of you guys kissing & everyone covering their eyes......so cute.
The Boardwalk all lit up at night makes such a beautiful backdrop.
Can't wait for more.

[figmentfan814]

Toni~ you really have some great shots! First, the food looks and sounds like it was really delicious; I love seeing the shots of the food. On your champagne glasses did you have a crystal pink Mickey head added? The pictures of you with your guests are really nice; I know I was glad that we got a lot with our guests too. The character pictures are awesome; I love the lighting on some of them when you're on the porch with the Boardwalk and Epcot in the background. That is so cute how Bobby really got into it :goodvibes Its funny because the only TR with Donald that I have ever read have always been at the Attic, so that's the only place I can ever picture him for a wedding ;) Love some of the shots in the photo booth; it would have been fun to actual do the photo booth pictures to save for a scrapbook. Looking forward to seeing the DP; I can't wait for the pavilion shots with the circus tent :thumbsup2

[tiggersam00]

Ok, Mickey and Donald look like so much fun! The more pictures I see the more characters I want at our wedding lol! We aren't doing the traditional Mickey?Minnie eithier (I want Chip and Dale - our faves) so it's nice to see the personality of those guys. It looks like Bobby had a blast with them too! Did you think the 1/2 they come for is long enough to cut the cake, dance, take pics etc etc?

The hand pic is my fave too, although your DH and the guys doing the "muscle shot" is pretty great too lol!

Now the food, OMG you menu looks amazing! All the apps and entrees looked so good, is that all the same stuff your tried at your PS?

LOL Mickey and Donald were great together. Minnie would be great too. Minnie can dance with your husband and you can dance with Mickey!

Toni, you have made me soooooo unbearably jealous! I sooooooooooooooo want Mickey and Donald at my wedding....! I wish so much that we were having DFTW.... :sad1: Your day is just soooo stunning and beautiful! I love it!!

Bob xoxoxoxox

Aww Your wedding is fabulous especially with that green dress of yours!!! I love it!

Great update Toni. Your reception looked wonderful. Having Mickey and Donald looks like so much fun. I am sure everyone enjoyed it. The pictures that Misty took are lovely. I can't wait to read about your dessert party. As for my PJ I haven't started one yet. I may try to start one soon but I am still settling in over here in the UK. I moved here from Canada in January to live with my Fiance. Can't wait for the next update.

Thank you! Mickey and Donald were great together. Very funny! Let me know when you start your PJ! I would love to read all about your plans!!!

Toni, your reception looked wonderful, the characters really do make an entrance dont they. Everyone looked like they had fun at the reception, I especially love the photos of you and bobbu in the photo booth. Looking forward to the next installment.
Toni x

They really do make an entrance!! Everyone was so excited to see them. The funny part is they are in character the whole time. Even when they were leaving and going down the hall they were still goofing off with each other.

Toni your food looked so good!!! YUM!!

AWWW I love the character photos! Tim is going to be mighty jealous when I show him later haha. The one with your hands is so cute.

So glad you went to SBP and were able to get some pictures. They came out great.

I love the picture of you all in the bus lol!!

LOL Donald was my best friend there!!! Tell Tim that he just can't be Donald's number 1 fan now. :rotfl:

Toni, your wedding appears to have been perfect! You and Bobby look so incredibly happy in ALL your pics. :goodvibes I love the Donald/Mickey combo! I know i've said it a billion times but Misty did an absolutely phenominal job. Thank you so much for posting about her, I'm so excited to work with her and Nelio! :goodvibes

Thank you!!!! Donald and Mickey were so much fun! Misty is wonderful!! You are going to love her and Nelio. She will really be such a big help to you on your wedding day also!

You two look so in love. Your pictures came out beautifully. I hope mine comes close to looking like yours.

Thank you!!! Your pictures are going to be beautiful too!!! :goodvibes

I loved seeing all of your pictures! They were all so beautiful. Your reception looks like it was really fun for everyone. It looks like you had some really great charachter interaction. We did too, and thought it was $$$ well spent. My DH really got into interacting with them as well even though I was also unsure what reaction he would have to them.

Can't wait to read more!

Thank you! We had such a great time! I really didn't think Bobby would get into the characters but he said it was such a good thing to have. He had a blast.

Toni,
I loved the pictures of you guys & the characters outside on the balcony at the Attic.........so adorable!!!!!! My favorite was the group shot of you guys kissing & everyone covering their eyes......so cute.
The Boardwalk all lit up at night makes such a beautiful backdrop.
Can't wait for more.

The group shots were so much fun. That is my favorite too!!! The boardwalk was so beautiful that night and I love how you could see Spaceship Earth from the balcony.

Toni~ you really have some great shots! First, the food looks and sounds like it was really delicious; I love seeing the shots of the food. On your champagne glasses did you have a crystal pink Mickey head added? The pictures of you with your guests are really nice; I know I was glad that we got a lot with our guests too. The character pictures are awesome; I love the lighting on some of them when you're on the porch with the Boardwalk and Epcot in the background. That is so cute how Bobby really got into it :goodvibes Its funny because the only TR with Donald that I have ever read have always been at the Attic, so that's the only place I can ever picture him for a wedding ;) Love some of the shots in the photo booth; it would have been fun to actual do the photo booth pictures to save for a scrapbook. Looking forward to seeing the DP; I can't wait for the pavilion shots with the circus tent :thumbsup2

The food was super good! I did add pink Mickey heads to the glasses. I just used some crystals with this sticky stuff on the back. It worked out pretty good. Having guests shots are such a great idea. Its nice to see everyone that was there celebrating with you. I guess Donald likes the Attic!!! He has been there so many times!! Mickey and Donald were so much fun! I am glad we did that combo. Mickey was a last minute addition though. I wish we did do some photo booth pictures! That would have been really cool. I will be sure to post lots of DP pics!!

Ok, Mickey and Donald look like so much fun! The more pictures I see the more characters I want at our wedding lol! We aren't doing the traditional Mickey?Minnie eithier (I want Chip and Dale - our faves) so it's nice to see the personality of those guys. It looks like Bobby had a blast with them too! Did you think the 1/2 they come for is long enough to cut the cake, dance, take pics etc etc?

The hand pic is my fave too, although your DH and the guys doing the "muscle shot" is pretty great too lol!

Now the food, OMG you menu looks amazing! All the apps and entrees looked so good, is that all the same stuff your tried at your PS?

Ohhh Chip and Dale would probably be a lot of fun. They like to fight with each other too. I have never seen Chip and Dale at a wedding! I would love to see your pics from that! I think the 1/2 hour they are there is a good amount of time for everything. It seemed like they were there for much longer! They didn't really rush them out so they may have went over the 1/2 hour. That was the same food I tried at the PS and it was just as yummy!!

what an awesome day Toni! the food looks great and it seems like Mickey and Donald were a hit!! can't wait for the DP!

[Chilly]
