Very sorry about the delay, life has just got in the way, you know how it is
Anyway............................
WEDNESDAY NOV 19TH 2008
With the alarm set for stupid o'clock (4am) I was of course (being very excited) wide awake by 3am
Everything was organised, showers had been taken the night before, we had taken the kids, the hamsters and the dog to their Nana's for the week and the house was tidy (for any burglers
).
We loaded the car with the cases
and set of for Edinburgh airprt at 5am
We parked in the longstay carpark jumped on the shuttle bus and arrived at the airport 2 seconds later
whats the point in shuttle buses, we would have been quicker walking !!
We had already checked in online so we dropped our cases and headed off in search for coffee.
The flight was on time and it was a smooth 1 hour flight to London Gatwick.
We basically sat down, buckled up, took off, had breakfast, then landed. Wish the next flight would have been so quick
Once off the flight we collected our cases and made our way from the North to the South terminal. Checked in with Virgin and dropped our cases and went through security.
Just our luck a 1 and a 1/2 hour delay
Oh well more time to shop I suppose
We mooched round the shops and I bought new sunglasses and earrings, I also tried virtually every perfume in the shop and walked out in a waft of green smoke
With still loads of time before the flight we grabbed another bite to eat and checked magic hours on the pay as you go internet stations whilst continually checking the overhead screens to see when our flight would begin boarding.
Well what do you know - Our flight goes from delayed to gate closing in the blink of an eye !!! Well people grabbed their cases, kids were sent flying and everyone made a mad dash down to the departure gate to find a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE line. Bloomin stupid airport staff, obviously thought it would be funny to see everyone panic (well it was a bit 
)
Finally we get onto the plane and find our seats. Lee grabs the window seat and I am stuck in the middle next to some bloke. Well, there was a smell which at first I though was the toilets but turns out it is the guy sitting next to me who proceeded to fart for 9 hours
I was ill and practically sat on Lee's knee for the entire journey.
With my jumper round my nose the following 9 hours went like this.......
check skymap
Yip still in London
Watch Tropic Thunder - RUBBISH both Lee and I fell asleep half way through !
Check skymap

Eat lunch, me - beef cobbler. Lee - spinach pasta (quite nice for airplane food!)
Me - watch sex and the city movie - fabby
Lee - watch Darknight - fabby

Snack - sandwich, coffee, flapjack.
Me - watch Meet Dave - v. funny, must buy for kids
Lee - watch Hulk - good
Check skymap
Nearly there
crane over Lee to look out window
Check skymap

Quickly freshen up in toilets
buckle up
crane over Lee to watch decent
Finally we landed got through security quickly (why are these guys so miserable ?) grabbed our cases and went in search of our hire car..............................................

Just found your PJ and can't wait to hear more about your planning session! Congrats! Everything looks great! Do you mind PMing me the prices of the videography packages? Their work looks amazing but I have a feeling they're out of my price range and don't want to waste their time requesting a bunch of info if it's not an option for me! Thanks!

I'm excited you finally started a TR!!!! I hate to hear about the whole 9 hour stink fest! !! Sounds like a terribly long ride! I thought it was bad enough being in the middle alone for a 1 1/2 flight..!! Can't wait to see more pics.!

I think we are going to try and stay with wishes, we have sent Ken Weaver a couple of emails but he hasn't replied yet ? Just left a message on his machine, so hopefully he will get in touch soon and we can discuss our options.
Will update in the next day os so, promise

Ok, so once we collected the little rust bucket of a car (I refused to let Lee hire the convertable by telling him that we could not possibly afford it since we have a fabulous wedding to pay for!) set up the sat nav and headed in the direction of Pop Century.
were at Disney Yippee
Once at pop we stopped on route to the room for a photo ...
Doesn't Lee look excited
We dropped off our cases in the room, grabbed the biggest pizza in the world and a refillable mug from the food court and headed off in search for the Polynesian hotel.
Once at the poly we grabbed one of those tent sunbed thingies and settled down to munch our way through pizza whilst watching wishes
After wishes we had a look around the poly grounds to see where we would be having our pictures taken the following day. The walkways are beautiful at night as they are lit my gas lamps
Me getting in practice for Randy Chapman
We then headed back to Pop Century and were so tired that we were in bed by 10pm !

Thursday 20th November 2008 - Hair and make up with Patricia LeJuene/ photos with Randy Chapman
Because my body clock was still set to UK time, I was wide awake by 5am
I took a shower and then sorted through the bags and unpacked some things into the drawers. I also put the video camera and camera on to charge.
Lee was sleeping throughout this and by 6.30am I was first in line for coffee at the food court.
Back in the room for 6.45am, I woke Lee up and watched some TV whilst he had a shower. Once we were both ready we went out to IHOP or (the eye hopper as my daughter calls it ) One huge breakfast and many many coffee's later we head back to the room to wait for Patricia LeJuene to arrive.
While we were waiting I got Lee to take some before photos...
Patricia arrived Patricia and I immediatly looked at some pictures that I had brought along and discussed what I liked and did not like then she got started...Lee took one photo
and then was kicked out the room !!
Now let me tell you that Patricia is one of the nicest people I have met, We talked non stop about the area, where we live, her relocating to Orlando, our kids ....you get the picture.
She did an amazing job...
a girl need her false lashes
In between my eyebrows looks a little shiney but I think that was because I had plastered loads of moisturiser on the night before and that morning because flying really dries my skin out - note to self: do not do this in May
I liked my hair at the time but now I am a bit worried incase those side curls straighten out on the day
and I think I have changed my mind about the back, I mean I want to wear my veil all day (even at the dessert party) so I may go for something much tighter so that it doesnt make my veil stick out too much ? Also I think that I want my veil higher up so that it frames my head rather than just hanging at the back.
Patricia then asked what I was wearing for my photos, I showed her and she asked if I wanted her to put my hair in a style that went with my clothes, I said yes so she removed the million hair grips and curled my hair again.
I found out the name of the lipstick (Mac - Licious) and said thankyou and goodbye to patricia.
Lee arrived back and we popped down to the food court to grab a bite to eat before we had to meet Randy at the Polynesian. I had Chinese and my lipstick did not budge !!!
Once we had finished we drove to the Poly, parked up and went into the lobby to meet Randy, well at this point I turned into a wreck, I was sooooooooooooooooo nervous Randy was really nice and quickly put me at ease, he was very good at directing us and soon we just began to have fun
away to upload Randy's photos - next installment up soon............

Hi, I just read everything up till this point and I'm hooked. I can't wait to hear more. Your hair and makeup looked beautiful BTW.
That makes me feel more positive, did she just use regular hairspray to hold the curl?
Thankyou
You looked beautiful and super elegant!! I'm glad I'm using Patricia - she did such a great job!!
Patricia is great
