so i broke it up into 2 parts...)

Me 29 self professed Disney freak (8th trip to Disney World)
Matthew 30 loves me despite my Disney freakishness (first trip to Disney World)
Day Two, Sept 10, 2002, part one
6am The phone rings and scares the living daylights out of me! I pick up the receiver, hoping to hear Mickeys voice, but its just music. (ok I did discover later that if you wait a bit before you hang up that a character will deliver his spiel!) So I hang up and drag myself out of bed. We had set the alarm clock to go off just in case the wake up call didnt work. The alarm never went off! Oh well
I chase Matthew out of bed and make him get ready. Lisa from Disney Cosmetology is coming this morning at 6:45 to do my hair for the wedding. I wanted Matthew up and ready to leave the room when she got there. I had decided that I didnt want him in the room while I got ready for the wedding. I didnt want him to see the getting ready process in stages; I wanted him to have the full effect all at once. So, he gets himself ready and decides to go to the food court to get me breakfast (how sweet!).
Meanwhile, not knowing how this hair thing would work, I decided to have my makeup done before Lisa arrived. I didnt want to be rushed to get my face on if she took the full 2 hours they recommend! I get myself all dressed, except for my wedding dress, that way I can just slip on my dress and be done. I am careful to make sure that I am wearing a button down shirt so I dont have to ruin my lovely hair!! Its now 6:45am and Im just about done with my makeup shes still not there so I continue about my business 6:50am still not there Im getting a little nervous, but Im ok 7:00am theres a knock at the door!! Its Lisa and shes ready to go! I still need to finish my mascara while she sets up. I get that finished and shes ready to start. I sit down in the chair and we chat a bit about how I should wear my hair. I knew I wanted it up with curls, but thats it. I figure she knows what shes doing Ill trust her.
About 5 minutes later, theres a knock at the door. Its Matthew with my breakfast!! He brought me a plain bagel, cream cheese, and an orange juice. (I later found out that he had a western omelet and bought one of the refillable mugs filled with coffee for his breakfast!) What a guy! I couldnt really eat with her doing my hair, so I set it aside and will eat after shes done. We chat a bit while shes doing my hair she wants to know how Matthew and I met (poor gal had to sit through that story!!) and she comments on how cute he is! Before I knew it, she was done with my hair!! And it was exactly as I had imagined it would be!! I was very excited
I look at the clock and realize that its only 7:30am now!! She did my hair in 30 minutes! Matthew and I had decided that he would stay away until 8:45am. Now what to do? I decided that my nails needed another coat of polish I had been nursing my nails to death for 3 weeks! The nails you will see in our pictures are MY real nails! (Saturday morning, I discovered that the nail on my ring finger, left hand, was cracked. So I just kept putting nail glue and clear polish on it trying to save it for just a few more hours!!) So I put another coat of glue, clear polish, and then a coat of sheer romance from my french manicure set. Dries in no time its now 8:00am now what? I nibble on my bagel for a bit. Decide not to drink the OJ I love it but it gives me horrible heartburn! Its now 8:10am and I am getting very anxious Im checking to make sure that the marriage license, my bouquet, our vows, my makeup, the unity candle, rings, and anything else that we may need are in the bag that killed about 2 minutes I am now just bored out of my skull, so I decide that Im going to get dressed and go down to the food court and find my groom!
I get my dress on, but alas, I cant zip it all the way up by myself! I tried and tried and tried but I just couldnt do it!! So I step out onto the balcony area in front of our room to see if there may be someone out there that could help me. Nope, not a soul. I decide at this point that I dont care Ill find someone along the way to the main building! So I start towards the main building. About halfway there, I see a young couple walking towards me and I flag down the girl and ask her to zip up the rest of my dress! Her boyfriend/husband/brother/whoever he was looked a little embarrassed. I didnt care!
Now that Im all zipped up, Im back on my journey. I get up to the pool and I still dont see him I get into the door of the building then chicken out! I didnt want him to see me for the first time all dressed up for our wedding day with a ton of gawkers around!! So I turn around and head back to the room. Its now 8:30. I can wait 15 minutes ack! This is just killing me!! After Ive cleared the main pool area (upon which I heard lots of look! I bet shes getting married!") I turn around and realize that Matthew is on his way behind me. Im not sure if hes seen me at this point yet or not so I take a slight detour so that I can cross his path. I come out from behind the bushes at the right moment alls he could say was wow he told me that he thought he saw me up by the building so he decided to head back to the room. We get to the room and a few light kisses later were on our way to the chapel!
We find our way back to the chapel Matthew was instructed to leave me in the car (with the AC on )and go inside to make sure things are all set up. After a few minutes, Pat (our coordinator) comes out to check on me. She tells me Im beautiful and that itll be just a few more minutes. They had to get the photographer ready and our unity candle ready. She then sends Robin, her assistant, out to get me from the car. She helps me attach my train and then we wait for just a few minutes longer
meanwhile, the church bells are going CRAZY
then the door opens and thats my cue!
It was really an odd feeling walking down the aisle alone and having no family or friends there to witness the event. But I wouldnt have changed a thing! The music that we had chosen was playing (Beauty and the Beast from the Disney Instrumental Impressions CD) and I can see Matthew in the reflection of the mirror. He looked a little nervous! I really expected to just bawl throughout the entire ceremony. But once I saw Matthews eyes, I was so very happy that this was finally happening that alls I could do was smile! We begin the ceremony and we get to the part where he and I will say our own vows that we had written. Matthew goes first after 15 years of pent up emotions, it all came spilling out he was crying, I was crying it was awesome we stumble through our vows and move on to exchange rings. Matthew tries to put the ring on my finger, but he was putting it on upside down and that made it VERY tight plus my fingers were really swollen from the heat. I didnt want to make a big deal out of the fact that my ring was being forced on upside down so I just smile and tell him its fine (even though my finger is going numb cuz I cant feel it anymore! We later realize that the wedding band was snapped in there backwards and thats what made it so tight ). I give him his ring and we move on to the Unity Candle. This was kind of funny the minister had told us that he would cue us when it was time to light our candle lighter thingies. The minister would talk a bit, then pause, and then talk some more, then pause, and still talk some more, well, you get the idea. If you watch the video, every time he pauses, Matthew goes to light his candle lighter! Were finally cued to light our candle and mine goes out! Go figure so I just pretend it was lit and I move with him to light the center candle. It worked out alright in the end. The ceremony seems to be dragging on forever he finally says that he pronounces us husband and wife and tells Matthew to kiss me. We were both so happy at this point that neither of us could stop smiling!!
