Laura - I'm loving this TR! Thanks for taking SO many great pics!!!
Love the cake (the pink is awesome!) - and I LOVE your flip-flops! I've been planning on wearing them too and I might need to glue some mickeys on mine too! They looked great! Your hair and make-up came out so nice too! Everything looks so wonderful, I'm really happy for you!
Glad to hear you are using your talent to help those of us who are a little creatively-challenged ! I might have a job for you.....

Wearing flip flops was one of my best decisions. They made life so much more comfy. If you need help with something just let me know.

 

[princessdisneybelle]

I absolutely agree with you Laura - this photo is amazing!! I'm so glad that everything went as planned for you and Chris - and I also wanted to congratulate you on starting your own business - your talents will be appreciated by many!

I can't wait to see all the amazing pics Taz took. I'm sure there will be more special ones like this. It's thanks to you ladies on here that I started this business. You gave me the confidence to do it.

Oh Laura - CONGRATULATIONS, everything just looked so beautiful I get really excited for you when i look at the pictures! Those flip flops are great! I will definately be wearing flip flops for my wedding! Don't be suprised if you start being inundated with requests for help in the next few months from me, i had such fun following your pj and got such great ideas...unfortunately i'm a bit stunted in the creativity department, so i will surely need some help in the execution!

After taking the rest of the staged pics. Garter toss, haha Chris had fun with this. Groomsman Mike caught the garter. I did the bouquet toss and his little sister caught that. Too funny. TAZ continued to snap away. We all kept going back for more food. It was really good and seemed to be endless. People started to have to leave. We went around and thanked people for coming. It was strange meeting so many new people. Chris's family was really sweet and welcomed me to the family. For alot of them they hadn't seen eachother in years so I was happy there was this occasion for that. Some of us went and changed. My Mom and I went up to our room. We met Chris in the hall. Whew it felt good to get out of my hot dress. Me, Chris, my Mom and Mike were going to MK that evening. So Chris and I we wereing out first "Just Married" shirts. When we got back down to the ballroom. My aunt and uncle and my Dad had started gathering the things we wanted to keep. Heather from Shades of Green turned out to be a great Event Manager. Everything went smoothly. We weren't allowed to help so we decided to sit and open our gifts. There was no one around and this gave us a quiet chance to document everything. Here are a few pics.
Chris smiling big.. You don't get that alot. Haha Chris had to but the money in the safe. That didn't make him happy.

I loved all of the cards. They were so pretty

First rice cooker from his Mom

Second rice cooker from his aunt...This was the one off of our registry.

More kitched things. Thought it was interesting how we got so many kitchen things and his family had no idea I love to cook.

Here is one of my fav gifts. I love these colors.

Bell services put our gifts on the cart with everything else. Off to our room they went (well my parents room). We were checking into the Hilton after MK.
So we head out to walk from Shades of Green to the Poly and take the monorail. Corey, Dustin and Teresa head out to DTD to see a movie.
As we get to the MK I let my Mom know I would really love to try to get a late dinner reservation at the Castle. Chris has never been and I thought it would be such a treat that night. So Chris and Mike look around and we head to City Hall. Jeff a great CM congratulated me. He made serval phone calls and told us to head to the Castle and talk to Bill. He would get us in. We were so excited we run to Chris and Mike. There are lots of people lining up to see the first Spectromagic. Mike and Chris are wondering what the rush is. We head over infront of the candy store. My Mom wearing flip flops trips on the curb. She falls really hard on her left side. I was so affraid. I could tell she was in a huge amount of pain. A couple came running over. He was a DR and she was a Nurse. There was a CM there immediately. The Dr. sat behind her and checked her out. They knew they needed so move her because of all the people. There was a stretcher there in a matter of minutes. The Dr. and Chris got her up in a wheelchair. Her shoulder and arm hurt really bad. She was crying alot. My Mom has been through alot so I knew if she was crying it was bad. I was really upset. The parametic was asking her what she wanted to do. There was a ambulance waiting. I could tell she didn't want to ruin me and Chris's night so she asked if they had a sling or something to hold her arm up. If the Dr thought anything was broken. He said no nothing was obiviously borken. She agreed to go to a clinic the next day. They got her all taken care of. The CM said if we needed anything the rest of the night to just talk to any CM and he would let them know what happened. I saw that he gave the couple dream fastpasses for helping. He gave me the Tink special pins. We were also giving lots of VIP treatment the rest of the night. My Mom was on some strong pain meds so she was ok. I push her to the castle. The CM came with us and helped us get through all of the traffic. I called Stephanie to tell her our plans. We were suppose to meet her and Shawn. I didn't think she would be too upset. It would give them time alone. We make it to the castle. Bill is so sweet. They get us right in. Chris is like a little kid. Mike had never been either and they both thought this was the greatest thing. Chris and I got our pic taken with Cinderella as Mike stayed with my Mom. They parked the wheelchair and were sitting on the bench. Here are a few pics.
Yay we are at the Castle

I take a drink of my rootbeer, Chris makes me laugh and I start to choke. I through up my appetizer. Poor Chris is so scared. The staff come right over and help me get cleaned up. Our waiter tells me not to worry about it. He has a surprise for us.

Here is our surprise.

Here are some food pics. The first is my appetizer, then Chris's soup (he was inlove).

Suzy came over

Mike had a blast clapping alot to the show.

Here is our dessert (somehow I didnt take pics of our entries). My Mom had Salmon, I had Prime Rib, Chris and Mike had a pasta dish.

Chris with his new friend

While we were there we saw a couple get engaged. We congratulated them. We headed to the elevator to head downstairs. We were sooooooooooooo full. We went over and saw Mickey's Philarmagic. We all loved it. Went on Dumbo. Then we went to get our seats for Spectromagic. We saw the same CM that helped us earlier. He had us sit infront of the Barber Shop. We got alot of special attention. I could tell my mom was in a huge amount of pain. The CM told us to wait after the parade and he would get us transportation to Shades of Green. There were 2 CM's that came over and took us backstage to a van that took us to the resort. I was so pleased at how Disney treated this. We got my Mom to her room. Collected our luggage and Chris's Dad took us over to the Hilton DTD. We got to the Hilton and found out we were on the Executive level. The bed was huge! We loved the chocolates on the beds. All 10th floor guests got breakfast and appetizers. But we decided sleeping was important. We also had access to the Mini bar but didn't get the key for it. We didn't spend alot of time in our room. But it was nice to come back to a comfy room after time at the parks.
Executive lounge and our room

Next up. MGM

She's ok now. Just her arm is still in pain. Yes the CM was great.

 

[DisneyObsession]

Sounds like your Mom was really hurt bad, but was a trooper and kept going for you & Chris. That truly is love!! I hope she is feeling better and healing quickly. The CM's sound like they were absolutely wonderful and right on top of the situation. How nice that they got you transportation back to SOG.

Can't wait to hear more!!!

PS...I have to say, as a Mom, you sound like a very mature, responsible 17yo! I couldn't believe that when you posted your ages awhile ago. If I was your Mom, I would be very proud of you!

Thank you very much! You just brought tears to my eyes. I just hope that one day I can be as great of a person as my Mom. She is creative, caring, giving. Just so much. She is definately my role model.
