I'm finally getting around to more of my TR. I've been out of commission for a bit as my back issues have flared up the last couple of weeks. Since I'm resting when I'm not working I decided to finish up my TR... and we finally got our Randy pics!
I hope I don't bore everyone to tears!
Friday, December 14 ~Wedding Day & My 30th Birthday!!~
I took a Melatonin the night before because I knew I had to sleep the night before our wedding! It did the trick and I slept like a baby. I woke up around 8:00am, sat on our balcony for a while and played around online. I then took my shower (which I would later question why I didnt do this the night before for the sake of my hair!). My cousin was with me and slept forever. I kept waking her up and finally told her I was going to get breakfast. She finally got up and we walked down to the Boardwalk Bakery and joined the long line. Before we left I called to make sure my mom and niece were on their way from the rental house.
While waiting in the very long Bakery line, my mother called as she was lost. She wasnt, she just wanted me to be her personal turn-by-turn navigation system! As a side note, even with all of our Disney trips, I get lost on property as DH always drives. I managed to yell directions into my phone, which Im sure the other guests loved. The woman makes it impossible to know where she is! I would say Is there a gas station on your left? No
its just a road, wait, yes theres a gas station down a little. Argh!!
My mom informs me that they have not eaten breakfast (and why do we get a rental house???) so I needed to order for them. So I order a bunch of muffins, a pain au chocolat for me and more drinks than I can carry. My cousin and I meet my mom in the lobby and we go upstairs to feast on our carbs. Yum!
As were finishing our breakfast, Anna calls to say she is parking her car and will be right up. Right
so I have SUPER thick hair which is still not dry! I start freaking out and blow-drying my hair. It was still a bit damp when Anna came in and looked like a freakin lions mane! I was so scared she was going to get on to me for having wet-ish hair, so I apologized profusely. She was very nice about it. I showed her the inspiration photos for my hair and we were off.
Vendor review: Anna from Makeover Magic did a nice job with my hair and make-up. I cant say that I loved what she did, but she did what I asked. I really had no clue what I really wanted for my hair, so I cant exactly complain. My hair is a curse to me due to the texture and thickness, so Im happy with anyone who makes it look not awful! Anna was very personable and joked around with all of us. She even helped us bug my cousin who took the longest shower known to man that morning.
After my hair & make-up, Anna did my moms. My mom was free from a Mothers Day promotion Anna had on her website. My mom kept saying she didnt want anyone touching her hair or make-up, but she was really loving having it done.
My cousin started doing my nieces hair during this time. Since my cousin is not a professional she was taking forever, which of course is torture for a little girl. I asked Summer (my niece) if she wanted Anna to do her hair too, but she didnt. That is one thing I wish I would have forced because Summers hair was never finished.
So I paid Anna and scheduled to have her come back Sunday morning for our MK pictures. My mom and I left to find hairspray for Becki to use on Summers hair. We found a small bottle of Tresemme at the little shop near the BW lobby (in case you need some too!
). While walking around, I saw Randy outside the lobby snapping away pictures of Holly81 (she got married at 12:00). I didnt want to spoil her time so I walked really quickly.
By the time we returned to the room, Randy had made his way up. We actually met him as we were getting off the elevator. When we got to the room, Summer was in tears. She wasnt allowing Becki to touch her hair anymore. I told her it was fine and we threw her flowergirl headband on. Randy was so funny and its nice the way he just jumps into the family.

Hanging my dress up for Randy pics
It was after 1:30 by this time. None of the girls were dressed. My brother, dad and nephew arrived barging into our room saying The wedding crashers are here!! This part of the day is so blurry to me! I know that I had my undergarments on so I told my mom and Becki to finish dressing. We threw Summers flower girl dress on. My dad and brother had to dress me. They got the dress over my head. Then my brother put my shoes on for me. They both tied my sash. They also put my veil in. I still think its funny that men dressed me on my wedding day!
After Summer and I were dressed, we along with the boys went out on the balcony to take a few pics.
Around 2:15pm Karen, our WP, calls to say they are ready for me. I tell her were not completely ready, but well be down in about 5 minutes. So now Im yelling that everyone needs to get dressed and downstairs. I send the boys down with the boutinnieres so Karen can pin them. Everyone is finally dressed and we head downstairs.

I meet our planner (Karen) for the first time and Randy was also there. Randy started snapping everyones picture. Karen briefly goes over what were going to do and we start our long walk to SBP.
