Cassie! I am so happy to have found your thread. Thank you so much for posting your special day with us. I have enjoyed reading your journal. Your wedding was absolutely beautiful! I first saw your pictures on the Root blog and I just fell in love with your pink color scheme. The floral archway for your ceremony was beautiful!

As I was reading your posts I realized that we have very common taste! I'm still an undergrad and waiting for my Prince to come, but I had to do a Wedding Planning project for one of my classes. Being a long time Lilly lover myself I knew I had to put Lilly into my planning scrapbook! I chose the exact same flower girl dresses and a similar bridesmaid with the V-Neck instead. I dug out my scrapbook for a pic:

Just very ironic and coincidental. Just thought I would share it with you. I love Lilly dresses they are so fun! I hope to use them in my special day.

Congratulations! I am so happy for you! Thanks again for posting everything. Can't wait to hear more!

Best Wishes!

It's awesome that you had so many characters! It was like your own private character breakfast! I have also heard from other Brides that Disney id difficult to deal with when it comes to cakes. It's too bad, they are so great at everything else! I can't wait to see pictures from the cruise and hear what you did!!!

Cassie, your wedding pictures keep blowing me away. Just absolutely astonishing. Great way to incorporate all the characters, especially foe entertaining the kids while the adults ate. Breakfast still looked great. Looking foward to more please.

Seeing is Believing - I LOVE Lilly!!! I spent months combing the internet for perfect dresses. Once we finally had a venue and a ceremony time nailed down I went to the mall with my sister, walked into Lilly and asked about cocktail dresses. They said they didn't have any but they would be getting one and showed me a picture. That was it, it was a done deal. I placed the pre-order right then and there and was delighted. I also really like the shoes you found!!! I had the worst time finding shoes in the same shade of pink. I bought a bunch of the Lilly pink inner circle wedges - but none of my BMs liked them. They all thought they would be hard to walk in and one of them was concerned about not being able to wear tights if it was cold. So they all got sold on ebay One of my BMs found the flats we ended up with in Ireland and brought them over with her. Your shoes are def a much better match!!!

Are you majoring in wedding planning? It sounds like a fun class!!

That's wonderful. I'm so glad you chose Lilly! So unique and iconic! I found those hot pink heels on zappos.com, but I do like the idea of the flats though too. I have my formal coming up and I'm wearing a Lilly dress I bought in Vermont. It's blue and green in chiffon with these fancy layered straps that gather in the front of the bust with an Empire waist and full length. It's very unique and I'm hoping it goes off well. I'm not fond of the Lilly shoes they have right now so I will probably wear a metallic heel.. Needless to say, it isnt easy to match a shoe in a pattern dress! Haha. You are very brave to go barefoot in January!

I am not, unfortunately. It would be a lot of fun though! I enjoy designing parties and putting plans together. I'm majoring in bio/pre-med and minoring in theology. One of the theology classes is Christian Lifestyles and we had to plan the ceremony of a wedding. One of the most exciting projects I've ever had to do, loved it!

Wow, LOVED all the characters! How awesome for your guests. You really took all of them into account in your decisions. Cannot wait to see the 'reception' photos!

I'm loving everything!! Can't wait to hear about the cruise reception!! I got engaged on the wonder last month to my high school sweetheart so DCL is important to us.

Dear Cassie,

First and foremost I need to tell you how happy I am that I came across your thread! I absolutley LOVE your wedding. Disney World holds a very special place in my heart as it was our family vacations growing up and when I got older I worked on Main Street in MK. Needless to say that when I get married it WILL be at Disney World (I am the creepy lurker that doesnt really post because I am not engaged yet). I really thought that I had my wedding 90% planned until I read your thread, yes I just sat here and read all 17 pages at once! You wedding was absolutley gorgeous and I am so happy you were able to have the wedding of your dreams. I do have a couple of questions for you.

How many people did you have in the Grand Suite for your cocktail party? I am from NJ and will most likely have to invite a lot of people and most will probably show, so I need to plan for large gatherings (prob around 100).

How many pontoon boats did you have for the fireworks cruise? How many does each hold roughly? Do they pipe the music? and lastly if you do not mind sharing how much was each boat?

I am going to have an Epcot DP but would really really love to do something with Wishes because it is my favorite!

Thank you for sharing with us and please keep sharing as I was upset when I came to the end.

Lisa

Sorry girlies. I have been making a sincere effort at being domestic over the past week - one of my usual downfalls. The weather has been awesome and I got tons of flowers planted and lots of spring cleaning done. I promise I am typing away at Day 1 of the cruise right now. It will be up shortly.

Thanks!! lol

I'm sure your busy but sometimes I'm not good at waiting... like having to wait for my wedding that is still 2 years and 2 months away!! I keep buying stuff and starting to do alot of things now, but I know in the end it will pay off.

 

[Skylersmommy5]

Cassie, don't worry about being the most domesticated bride out there(neither am I) I give you so much credit for gardening. Although I am a girley girl, I do not share my mom's love of gardening(or getting dirty and muddy at all) although I do love flowers.

I have to say after readig your PJ too, I do love how much you took your guests into account and what they would enjoy, and not leaving the kids to being babysat. Truely you are a very thoughful bride to keep in mind that their parents won't leave them with just anyone(and I'm saying that as a parent who also doesn't leave her child with a random stranger for a babysitter either). The characters were a great form of entertainment while the adults ate for the kids, and I am sure all the kids at your wedding and their parents were very appreciative of how you thought of how to keep them close to mom & dad but yet still happy.

We still can't figure out what was so funny....

This is one of my most favorite pictures. Bill was such a good sport.

Next we are off to breakfast in V&As.

Hi Cassie! I am normally a lurker on these boards but I had to tell you just how beautiful you are! You really are one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen. You wedding is amazing so far and I cannot wait to read about the rest.
