Day 1
We drove to Florida because we had so much stuff. It is like an 18 hour drive from PA to FL and DH has a manual truck that I cannot drive so he had to drive the whole time. We let around noon and drove all night only to stop to sleep for a couple hours. Here is a picture of a magnetic sign I made to put on our vehicle on our way down. I made them to go on the side doors but DH is in love with his truck and said they would scratch the door and made me put them on the tailgate
.
When we finally got their DH took a nap and I started to unpack things. Our room was packed with stuff so was my parents room.
I had a lot of trouble with the lady making my aisle runner. She kept saying she was sending it soon and never did. Then when the wedding was a month away she did not respond to my emails or phone calls I thought for sure I was not getting it. Then two weeks later she sent me a message saying she was sending it and the reason she did not respond was because she was at a conference and had no phone or email access. (for two weeks?!!) Then of course I did not get it and no response to emails and phone calls again. She finally sent one back when my dad sent her a message. She said she did not know how to get the runner to me. This is what she does for a living she sells them on eBay and has her own site how does she not know how to ship them? She also forgot that I ordered a table runner that I already paid for. Then it came down to she was going to drop the runner off at our hotel because she lives close to Orlando. She also said that she would give me free chair sashes because of all my trouble. Well I did finally get my runner with a note saying the chair sashes were stained and she would send them later which of course I never got. She was very good at coming up with obviously false excuses. This is not the end of my trouble with her. Ill write more about this later.
I made special dinner reservations for DH and me the first night we were there. He loves Jikos at the Animal Kingdom lodge and I set up a Sweetheart dinner for us. It was a really nice experience and the food was great. They even let us substitute an appetizer that we really like. We love the BBQ Chicken flat bread its so good! It was a really nice time and we got some cute toasting flutes we used for the wedding. The complaint I had was they said we get a bottle of champain and all we got was a glass not that we needed more but the dinner was not cheap.

We also combined the photopasses from our guests, but didn't end up with too many either. Although, in the end I am still glad we did it because I got some images that I would have never gotten any other way.
I'm anxiously awaiting more!
