Now it was time for us girls to go outside and wait for the limo to arrive. By this time Randy and Stan and the boys had already left so I have no pictures of this part...here are some pics before Randy left though
My daughter and I....she is so shy, and really did not like having her picture taken. It was really cute watching Randy and Stan trying to get her to respond though.
Here she is like...oh no, you caught me, LOL...
Me realizing that I had this loop inside my dress that I could use to hold the train...Who knew
I like this photo because it kind of shows some of the Micky Christmas decor we had in our room...a mickey light up we had on our hallway mirror
I think Randy was bored waiting for us to arrive because he included some shots of cakes and things inside Francks...lol, I won't include those but I thougth it was funny.
Here is our names on the wedding pavilion sign
Our limo arriving
So to back track slightly. Everybody left us girls at OKW to wait for the limo to pick us up. It was me, my daughter, my mom and Brian's mom. We walked outside and had our first fans congratulate us, lol. This was so much fun throughout the day, just having so many random guests say congratulations and tell us how great we looked and asking us if we were really getting married at Disney. These are all some of my favorite memories of the day.
We were waiting outside and I was trying to avoid random puddles by holding my dress up in the air. I had forgotten to have Brian leave my flat blue shoes with me since he took all of those things with him to the wedding pavilion in a bag. All I had was my monstrously high white heels and I didn't want to fall down the stairs, OKW does not have elevators
. So I threw on a pair of old brown flip flops, way to plan right??? But, they were very comfortable and hidden under my dress and I didn't have to go barefoot or anything like that.
The limo finally arrives, slightly late because of the earlier incident of Bryan not getting ready in time, lol. We pile into our limo, my first time ever in a limo! It was very cool inside, all black with water to drink and cool glasses. My daughter and I were looking at every button and wanting to press them all. We contained ourselves and tried to enjoy the ride. Now was the first time that I actually felt a little bit nervous. My new mother in law was flirting with the limo driver...he had the coolest mustache ever!!! Kind of like Tom Selleck back in the day. My mom said he looked just like a cousin of mine and he so did!
We pulled up at the Wedding Pavilion and there was Randy, Stan, our wedding planner and a ton of Disney people waiting for us. They told me to get out last so I waited for the driver to open my door. It was just a little bit awkward getting out of the limo and I was hoping that it wasn't all caught on tape. They also wanted me to show off my ugly brown flip flops which I did but now regret because I know it will show up on our wedding video!! Hindsight!!
I will spare you the flip flop and awkward getting out of limo pics.....
Here is one of me and my daughter just after them and I have no idea why my hands are out like that
Here is us walking over the bridge...how did he get this pic?? I don't remember this at all, did he stand on a latter, LOLOL
I love this shot because it's my dad's first time seeing my dressed in my wedding attire and he was taking a pic of us
Almost there
I was feeling even more nervous about now. They shooed us into the Bridal Vestibule to "hide" us, even though all of the guests were seated and Brian was in the Groom's area. It's very cool how all of the wedding pavilion people coordinate everybody's whereabouts and make sure there are no surprises. I forgot to say earlier that Brian did not see me in my wedding dress and I did not turn around to see him in his tux before the wedding. We were originally going to take some shots together before hand but logistically it just didn't work out that way so we wanted to be surprised.
Back to the track now, I was directed into the Bride's Vestibule, The Rose Room, along with my dad, my daughter, the wedding planner and the officiant. I'm pretty sure that Randy and the DFTW photographer were in there too, lol. He must have been because here are some shots of us....
Me walking into the Bridal Vestibule with our Officiant, Ron Rosenzweig, holding the door open. I don't remember this at all
me hugging my dad
Amber really loved her flowers
Here she is looking at the hidden mickey's which were a surprise to her
Amber holding out my bouquet to me. This is the first time I saw it
I had a miniature photo frame attached to the bouqet that was 2 sided. It held pictures of my brothers and I when we were small. None of my brothers could make it to the wedding and it made me really sad. Having these photos with me helped a ton
This side held a photo of me and all of my brothers on our old staircase
This is the other side and it is of my brother David and I, the last picture of us taken before he passed away. We were really close and I am so glad I decided to have this picture with me
My dad, my daughter and I awaiting the call to head into the wedding pavilion
I feel like I look like a giant next to my daughter and my dad! Both my dad and my mom are so thin. I used to be way thinner but slowly gained weight after my son and daughter were born (twins!). I always say to my parents...."why didn't I inherit the skinny genes you have???" I feel like the mailman's kid or something, LOL.
When we first arrived in the bridal vestibule, Ron went over the wedding events with me, my dad and my daughter. I have no idea what he said, lolol. I think I just nodded my head in agreement to whatever he was saying. I was very nervous at this point. I even had some sweat break out on my forehead. Randy being the ever ready professional that he is took a rolled up washcloth from a basket and said this is your dabbing cloth. If you start to sweat give me a signal and I will dab your forehead. What a guy! Amazingly enough, my makeup did not even budge during my mini sweatfest!!! LOL
More to come soon!!! Uploading to photobucket is truly a nightmare. It is so difficult to go through the 4 cd's that Randy sent, finding the right pictures, upload them to photo bucket and then try and write a semi-coherent trip report. Hopefully my memory will hold up because I was seriously in a daze during the entire wedding!!
. But the experience was so worth it!
, (is that crazy?) Villa's at Wilderness Lodge, Kidani at Animal Kingdom and then after the cruise Saratoga Springs. We kept adding days and couldn't get into just one resort. I call it our Honeymoon DVC tour!
. I'm glad that I was occupied with getting my hair done or else I may have had a slight heart attack with the stress over it. Here is a pic of Stan tying Bryan's tie, LOLOL
How nice though that everyone helped him get ready and he looked fab in his suit! I cant wait to hear more! 
. I should have hung it at least with a wooden hotel hanger. 
Can I also add that he recites the haunted mansion spiels and just about every other spiel there is.....the CM's LOVE him.
