Oh Judi you look beautiful, look forward to seeing more pictures
Thank you - It is so agonizing waiting for the 'official' pictures from the photographer. It's driving me nuts. I will post some more once I get some.
Oh these are so beautiful!!!!
Many congratulations
Thank you it was such a great day and we were so relaxed (or at least I was) I think it shows.
Thank you I kept second guessing my dress choice now I have seen the pics I am sooo happy with my choice. I went with my gut and should have trusted myself
Judi you looked amazing!!! Can't wait to read about your day
Thanks Wendy. Didn't rock the yellow quite as well as you did
I will post about my day once I get some pics from the photographerWelcome back and you looked lovely!!
Thank you. I really don't want to be back though...reality sucks
Thanks more on my day later....I need pics!
congrats!!! you look amazing! and your maids are darling! the colors are wonderful and you look so happy and beautiful! congrats and i hope you stay on cloud 9 for a while to come!!!
I just loved my day and my vacation. I am still on cloud9 about it and wish I could do it all again. Being home and work is not so great
Thank you not bad for a forty something eh?
Cheers

I finally have some time to work on my report. It's been tough getting back into work and back to reality. Here is my...
Glad I did....
1. Upgraded to a Wishes Wedding.
I am so glad that I was fortunate enough to be able to afford the upgrade to a Wishes Wedding. Originally I was having an Escape and I would have been happy with that too but the extra service and assistance on the day of the wedding that this upgrade brought us was well worth it. I was going to be close to the Wishes anyway with the Escape, a dinner and dessert party. Spending the extra money was easy.
2. The dessert party at Epcot.
It was such fun time and my guests really enjoyed it. Being ushered from back stage to UK Loch Side was fun too. I enjoyed seeing some of the backstage. The walk from the backstage entrance to the DP site does make you feel pretty special. Somebody near the Rose and Crown saw us just after we entered and commented on what great costumes we had. I'm not sure what characters they thought we were
But if you think about it Steve was in his kilt and we were in the UK. The dessert party treats were yummy! It was the right ending for our day.
3. Eliminated the appetizer and not having any pre-reception food.
I contemplated some sort of pre-reception food for my guests while DH and had photo's taken and thought they/we might miss the appetizer but it ended up being just right. We were not stuffed, everyone cleared their plates and still enjoyed the dessert party.
4. Had all our hair and make-up done professionally.
I loved Ana and her staff. I paid for the ladies to get their hair and makeup done as it was too much to ask them to pay over $100 each. It was such a bonding time and we all loved how we all looked on the day and in the photos.
5. Set up the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for the young ladies.
They were both Wedding Princesses and it would have been hard to try and match up dresses for one young lady from England and another from Indiana. It gave them their own special experience and the photos they have from the boutique are so precious. They were free to choose any princess and they did a great job.
6. Had a private reception.
The Whitehall Room was more beautiful in person. With such a small group and when we were an Escape we were looking at a restaurant. The private room allowed us to fully relax; we did some silly dancing and had some banter without being self conscious. The iPod worked out great too. The staff at the GF were wonderful.
7. Mickey and Minnie.
They were such a hit and a surprise to everyone. Even my Father-in-law was close to tears when they came in. I wanted to have Mary Poppins and Bert but I thought of my guests and Mickey and Minnie were just more of a fit. They were so playful I am so glad I changed.
Wish I didn't....
This is so hard for me. I loved everthing I did and for the size and type of wedding we had there isn't much I would change...
1. Bought flowers for the pre-reception tables.
The pre-reception tables were outside on the patio and it was just too hot no one went outside apart from the one or two smokers. They were beautiful though but not worth the money looking back.
2. Bar at the dessert party.
This is a stretch and not that much of regret but to be honest not many people drank any alcohol we could have just had a soda package along with the tea and coffee for the 1 to 1 ½ hour we were there. No one would have missed it. This is funny to coming from a London Girl as we do love a little tipple. Thought this might be helpful if anyone was looking to save some money
Wish I did....
1. Keepsake Floral
I loved my flowers. Even Randy Chapman commented on them and I assume he has seen a lot of bouquets. I wish now that I had used the keepsake floral and been able to look at a representation of them at home each day for years to come. I'm kicking myself now.

Your reviews are really helpful as I have been agonising over the dessert party. I really want one but as there are only 6 of us I was unsure about paying the extra for the shortfall in guests. Definately having one now!
I can't wait to see all your pics.

Hi,
(FYI - I also posted this on the main board).
My pics are available from my dessert party. I love the picutres of all of "us being us" before the fireworks but the money shots of DH and I infront of the fireworks not so much. DH looks like a wax work - not sure what he is doing with his head pose. He said the photographer told us not to move. I guess that means put your head up in an unnatural position. Also for the kiss shot you would think that he would turn in to me for that and not be gripping the railing, looks like he is trying to get away ...oh well I won't be mad at him for long, but really! Maybe the Disney photographer should have caught what was going on and posed us better but it does all happen quickly once the fireworks go off. I know there were more shots - we must have been even worse
We have some lovely pics of the family enjoying themselves though and the funny shots with the glow apparel. Love them.

ok-
1) you look gorgeous!
2) your hunky hubby is HAWT - did i miss that before??!??
3) your family is so much fun!
4) if i were a young girl, you couldn't have torn the tinkerbell outfit off me (true story- i bought that same tink outfit they were wearing in the largest girl size they have. i tried to put it on and got slightly stuck. yes, there was alcohol involved. however, if i stay on my diet, perhaps i could pop put of a cake in it for the DF)
5) how long are you guys there??? it's summer, and it looked before sunset even thought about starting to begin was when you gathered... thats several hours! and a lot of cake
6) i want key lime pie
7) he doesn't look at all waxy, maybe though like he is seeing a UFO? the one time i was in scotland, this family was trying to show me those 3D posters where you move the images - that look like colored puzzle pieces - forward and back until you hit some sweet spot where you see some weird 3D image pop out at you. well, i could never do it. but i was amused when the older scottish gentleman observed me squinting at the poster and said i looked like "a wee hen peering into a beer bottle" - perhaps he is peering into the distance as well.
8) you reassure in that short hair can and will be fabulous and your dress is really really pretty
thanks for sharing!!!!
