So after cake, Maxine left (or ran away screaming... I'm not sure which one...)and Rose came in. I really had no idea what I wanted for flowers except that I loved this bouquet.
Rose asked me what I loved about it, and I basically said everything I loved the color, the look, the style So she basically was like so you want this bouquet I kind of stared at her like why didnt I think of that yes So, once we had that, everything else just sort of fell into place, and we picked out ceremony and reception décor pretty quickly.
For the ceremony, Rose offered to put up pew padding for me so I dont hurt myself (I told her absolutely no aisle pedals, because If theres a chance I could trip, I will!!)
Then we moved on to the dessert party and started talking about décor and glowing wine and beer glasses This sent my sister into a trance . Ohhh .glowing
Im a little worried to see my floral BEO, because we were talking a lot about orchids and I could just see the $ mounting but well see
I must say that we were all really impressed with both Rose and Maxine, and really liked both of them. We can be frightening for outsiders, but both of them really caught on to our quirkiness and fit right in. Im really excited to be working with both of them.
So after we bid Rose farewell, Monica and her DBF left us to head to Epcot. Hopefully shell pop in and give you her account for that part of the day, and my parents, DF and I headed to the bus to get back to the hotel to meet Patricia.
As we were waiting in the sweltering heat, my parents decided to head into the GF to get some Fairytale Cuvee so we could test it out, and DF and I continue to wait for the bus. Once it finally came, it was jam packed, because the bus also went to Typhoon Lagoon, and as I said, it was crazy hot So we headed to the Monorail, and got to the MK post-haste, and grabbed a bus to SSR. At this point, I was nervous that we wouldnt make it in time for Patricia, but fortunately, she was stuck behind a super slow bus, and was running late herself. We got to the hotel just a few minutes before her. I was able to cool down a bit, it was really really hot.
I met Patricia, and she really is as sweet and friendly as everyone says. We quickly bonded over allergies, and she did my hair and makeup .
Heres where it breaks my heart that my camera fried, because I lost my hair trial picts!!! I emailed Patricia to see if she could send me the ones she took, because I have nothing! I will post if she is able to send them to me.
The best I can describe it, is sort of like Heidis hair, but I have much less hair.
After my hair trial, we headed to the boardwalk via bus to DHS, and then boat (you know, for not going to the parks, we managed to use like every possible transportation option that WDW has ) We headed to Big River Brewing Co. to talk to Darlene about our Welcome dinner. We had a few drinks, and reserved our space. It was about time to head to DDD to meet up with Monica and her DBF, so we headed to the bus, and as were walking we actually run into them. Im not exactly sure why, but they decided to walk to the Boardwalk from Epcot to catch the bus So we headed to Raglan Road.
I made ADRs at Raglan Road with some trepidation, Id read that the food was good, but the noise and atmosphere were quite loud. Well, we loved it! We had the scallop forest and the Dalkey Duo. Delicious! My mom and I split the Its not Bleedin Chowder and some crab salad appetizer that isnt on the all ears menu. Both really good.
We headed back to the room, and popped open the Fairytale Cuvee. I hadnt really read too much about it, but what I read was good I wanted to try it, because my dad is a wine hobbies, so I wanted to make sure it was good. Well, Im sorry to say that we all thought it was disgusting. It tasted like moldy blue cheese, not the good kind of blue cheese, just icky. I have a high tolerance for bad taste, and I felt bad that I made them buy it, so I drank about half the bottle. It just was not to our tastes at all. It was so bad that I even considered that we might have had a bad bottle. It was just that bad.
So, we decided to use a different sparkling wine.
We headed to bed.
