I must say I have been reading your TR for the past few weeks and I LOVE it. Thank you so much - it has really reinforced our plans for a Disney wedding. We also have plans for a morning ceremony in Epcot - we love either Italy or Germany (after seeing your pictures in Italy we are leaning toward that). We are hoping for a brunch reception at Atlantic Dance Hall and an IllumiNations Desert party later that day. We are planning on 50 guests. I would love next year during the Flower and Garden Show. We were down there this year for Easter week and did the Segway tour early one morning and hoped to catch a glimpse of a early morning wedding. We saw the boards around the bridge in Italy and though about the wedding going on and how they would get around this.

We are also planning on a Rehersal/Welcome dinner at 'Ohana - which is our favorite place to eat.

I am sure I will have many questions and the people on this board are so wonderful in helping out. One of my questions to you is about the chairs you used during your ceremony in Italy. Are these the chairs that are included in the package or did you upgrade them? They look great and I hate to upgrade the chairs as I would much rather use the money on something more memorable for our guests. I really do not think anyone would say - Wow did you see those ugly chairs they used during the ceremony - I would much rather hear - Wow, weren't those fireworks during Illuminations beautiful.

Thanks again for writing this great report. I keep rereading it and making screen prints of the pages and putting them in my wedding binder as far ideas we love.

yanners - thank you so much!

2angelsinheaven - that is hilarious, thank you for pointing that out!

calanniebu - thank you! I am glad some of my ideas might help you out, have a great time planning your wedding & honeymoon!

ipizzuro - thank you so much! The chairs that came were actually standard - they didn't cost anything. They matched perfectly, I thought! The ironic thing is, to upgrade to the white plastic chairs it would have cost like 800 bucks, and I think they would have clashed with the decorations completely. I am glad you enjoyed the TR and I hope you have a wonderful time planning for your wedding! Thank you again!

Mary, thanks for answering my question. I so agree with you about the chairs - $800.00 for upgraded chairs - I would much rather put that money to a welcoming dinner at 'Ohanas, having Mickey and Minnie at our reception or an IllumiNations Desert Party. Your chairs matched great. I am thinking about using blue (a lighter shade than you did - but not pastel) or a cranberry red. I think these chairs would be fine.

Thanks again for your wonderful wedding report and all the great pictures. Please keep posting - we will all miss your great reports if you stop.

Linda

Mary, I LOVE your pictures!!! I got to page 21 of your trip report before my own wedding and it really helped me anticipate my own. I can't wait to get back to reading it! Congratulations!
