welcome home Cam :)

Thanks for posting the sneak peek pix too! I love the colors in your bouquet! :goodvibes
 
Wow Cam - you look stunning! I can't wait to see more pictures!

Your bouquet is gorgeous! What kind of flowers did you have in there?
 

Wow! I don't even know where to start to thank each and every one of you for your kind words.

Our vow renewal day was the culmination of 14 months of planning and more than 24 years of dreaming of "our" wedding. It was beyond even our fondest wishes or most fanciful dreams. Most of that is because of the amazing, generous love of the family and friends who celebrated with us. And a great deal of credit goes to Meri and Alix at DFTW who seemed determined from the very beginning to make our dreams come true. Everywhere we looked, we saw the beautiful details that were the result of our vision and their "can-do" attitudes.

As for the surprise guest at our reception? Very few friends knew he would be there, and even as I waited (and not very patiently) for him to arrive, my heart was going pitter patter (in a good way), knowing that my main mouse woud be there. It was one of two discretionary cost-type items that we thought about and re-thought about (the other being the WISHES soundtrack for our dessert party), and let me tell you - having Mickey at the reception was an awesome, awesome decision! I'll tell you more about that later, when I get to that part of my TR (it's coming, it's coming, I promise! ;) ), but here is my reaction when he came in:

Everyone else was watching Mickey; my dear friend Patty knows me well enough to have been watching me and to catch my reaction. :hug:

And here is just a sample of the wonderful memories we all made:

And as I watched our guests dance with him, my dear friend Rhonda shared my joy:

Yes, Mickey ROCKED the dance floor and then posed for pictures and took the time to make my heart sing:

ETA: Sorry the pix are so large. I am trying to reduce them. :confused3
 
i get all giddy when I see your pictures..i love your reaction shot!!!
 
Wow Cam - you look stunning! I can't wait to see more pictures!

Your bouquet is gorgeous! What kind of flowers did you have in there?

Thank you, Catherine! :hug: My bouquet was baby & spray roses in pale pink and pale yellow and fuschia baby calla lilies, stephanotis & just a bit of green hydrangea. It smelled heavenly and was just so beautiful to have in my hands. My flowers for our original wedding had been white & ivory silk roses on a plastic spanish fan covered in lace with lace ribbon -- really just not my style and I LOVE real flowers. Laura Kidd outdid herself with this bouquet which was prettier than I imagined. Oh, and it had swarovski crystals and swarovski crystal hidden mickeys in the stephanotis and throughout the bouquet, as well as swarovski stars in the bouquet and hanging from the bottom of the ribbon around the stems (the crystals were sewn on). It carried through our wishes/"all of our wishes have come true" theme and was reminiscent of the gorgeous custom-made star jewelry I wore the night before. I know I'm gushing. I can't help it. It was sooo pretty! :goodvibes

i get all giddy when I see your pictures..i love your reaction shot!!!

I get giddy too, Betsy! How blessed am I that I will have those memories forever? :cloud9:
 
Cam your reaction to Mickey has to be the most precious picture anyone has ever captured! :) It is absolutley perfect! I am so glad Patty captured that picture as you know Randy missed it too and he was right beside you!!

I know it's not a flattering picture, but I LOVE remembering the utter joy of the moment -- I knew the room was full of Mickey lovers and some soon-to-be converted ones! And I am so fortunate that Patty knows me so well and loves me enough to have cared to capture that moment for me. :faint:
 
I should show you guys this one too. I think this is where Howard was thinking: "worth every penny. the Mouse that makes my wife that happy is worth EVERY penny."

It is too a flattering picture! You look like a little kid on Christmas morning - adorable! I have to tell you it really is one of my favorite pictures of you!
 
Laura's right, Cam... You look beautiful in that picture. To see such joy in your face... it's magical. Even Rob said, Wow, she looks so happy.
 
you guys are so sweet. I am sure Rudolph looked just as rednosed & happy when Santa gave him a job. :laughing:

Love this picture. It says it all and you look beautiful in it. I love all the pictures so far and can't wait for you to start your TR because I want to read it and see it all. I have been waiting for this day for 14 months as well :rotfl2:
 
I'm just catching up...Your VR was absolutely beautiful! Your wedding dress was stunning and you looked incredible in it! I think for those of us planning our weddings, the love you and your husband have after all these years is everything we hope for! I simply can't wait to hear about the rest of your day! :)
 
I am so glad I was able to capture that photo. And I agree, it is very flaturing! You looked amazing the entire day, but the 'joy' when you saw Mickey!!! I LOVE THAT LOOK!!!
 
:coffee: Ahem*

Just for the record, although she didn't show it on the outside walking down the aisle at the Vow Renewal ceremony, that is what she was feeling on the inside when she saw me waiting for her for the second time. (At least I hope so! :upsidedow )
