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.
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.
