It's been almost three months since I got married, and wow, how the time has flown! I"m really sorry that I've been ignoring this report!
**********************************************************
But back to the Wedding!
After the girls and I took pictures on the beach, we went back up to the lobby to meet up with the rest of the wedding party, the JP, my wedding person from the resort, etc. oh, and my parents too!
Finally it was time to get in line. I had decreed that we were going to start at exactly 7:00 p.m. Somewhere I have a picture of my grandfather and you can see his watch and it said 6:58, so I know we started on time!
We didn't have the traditional wedding march for any of the music. Everyone except me marched in to "Cannon in D", which is fairly typical for a wedding. However, I came into "Close Your Eyes", which is the love theme for Buffy and Angel, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (BTVS). It's very pretty, and it suited me.
We had all the typical stuff for the ceremony. We had our friend do a reading from Corinthians. Mark's Best Man #2 (only Mark would have two best men!) read something he wrote about the two of us. As soon as I can find it again, I'll try to post it.
Mark and I "selected" our own vows. We used quotes from BTVS, from Anya and Xander. Most people wouldn't have had any idea what they were from, but Mark and I were very amused by it all!
We walked out to "Kiss the Girl" and "Margaritaville". We had a receiving line so that I could see everyone before the reception and not have to visit every single table..... I wanted to party!
During the cocktail hour, the wedding party and immediate family had a separate room to use. I stayed in there for a little while, but I wanted to see my cousin and his friend playing and singing! They were awesome. It they ever went pro, I'd so be their groupie (in the family related way!)
While we were in this private room, Mark and I got into a fight. A sword fight!
Doesn't everyone get into a sword fight on their wedding night? Silly us must have gotten that confused with some of the other wedding traditions.
Finally, we were ready for introductions. Amber, Ed and Pat went first, with Under the Sea playing!
Next was the Haiwiian Roller Coaster Ride with Katie, Carl and Matt (Matt was cranky)!
And finally, the pirates (Yo Ho, A Pirates Life for Me):
Last, but not least, was A Whole New World for Mark and I:

A few minutes later, he came back and told me that we would need to call them when we got to the room! Hmm, didn't I just tell you that honey?









I purchased something. I bought a new autograph book. I had left my old one home because it was just about full and not worth the room it would occupy. Then it was time to ride BTMRR! This is my dads favorite ride. That really surprises me because hes not really a ride person, but I think hes really into the queuing area because it has antique engines and assorted parts. 
I had the Le Cellier Mushroom Filet Mignon and Mark had the 7 oz. Filet Mignon. I loved mine. The risotto was a bit salty for my taste, but the meat was amazing. I love red meat thats very rare, and it was! Mark liked his food as well, especially the mashed potatoes. He was actually too full for dessert, but I told him to order something anyhow since it was included in the dining plan. He ordered the Warm Spiced Apple Crumble. I had the Crème Brulee.
