[Pinkerbell1983]

everyone had a heart porcelain tag, silver for boys and pink for girls. they had their names on and ours had bride and groom

Where did you get them from? I really like them!

 

[keenercam]

Sara -- Your place settings and your table are just absolutely elegant!

 

[Chilly]

Just caught up with your report. Everything looks stunning.

 

[lov2b@disney]

[orangetiggs]

Where did you get them from? I really like them!

I had them made for me by a lady near where I live.

 

[Mama of Indybride]

IndyBride loved that cake topper too!

We tried to get Disneyland to make or order something similar, but they told us to try to find it ourselves!

Hmmm...

Anywhoo...your table setting is absolutely stunning! I love that roman seating arrangement!

Looking forward to more when you have time!

ok so after we got the ipod fixed the major domo introduced us

we then went into our 1st dance

it was heaven by bryan adams, which we love.

We then went straight to our cake cutting,

and I told him not to smash it in my face! we cut a rather large piece to eat!

As we only had stan for 4 hours he was leaving at 5 so we had to fit everything in 30 mins so next up were the speeches, firstly was my dads, short and sweet which is exactly what i wanted and then my new Husbands!

then our two best men got up and read us a poem about our lives togther and all the funny things dh had done! it was so funny.

Stan then asked us to do another fake first dance so he could get more on film

.

We said good bye to stan and then the food started coming!!

first we had chicken and cheese quesadila (sp) which was so nice

then came the sorbet with the lighted slipper

then our entree came out and everyone was like oh my! we are never going to eat all this.

it was peppered filet with almond crusted chicken! it was so nice!

then we had the cake cut for dessert and my 12 year old sister got the chocolate slipper dessert

The food and service were fantastic and the staff were so attentive, anything we wanted they got.

It was fantastic.

I love the Mickey quesadilla! I've known people who got that as an appetizer, but didn't realize it was Mickey shaped. That is so great that you were able to get your sister the slipper dessert. We had the Mickey shaped cakes for the 3 kids at our reception and it made them feel extra special Can't wait to read more!

 

[WithDisneySpirit]

What a lovely update!!! I just love the intimacy of your one big table

 

[Skylarr29]

Everything was so nice! I just love the Mickey quesadillas. I think everything tastes better in the shape of Mickey!!

 

[orangetiggs]

we didnt know they were going to be mickey shaped till they were served! it was so nice.

We loved the table as there was only 18 of us it seemed silly splitting us all up.

I will do that tbale again when I plan our 5 year vow renewal!!

 

[Pooh_Girl]

I loved your table Sarah!!! It was very elegant without being overdone. Everything was just beautiful!! That food looked delicious!!! I love the Mickey quesadillas.

 

[29apr00]

everything looked so lovely! Your meal looks very tasty!

 

[29apr00]

Our centrepieces fro the prereception tables

were these real roses floating in water, or were they silk? Did Disney provide the bowls?

 

[orangetiggs]

all the floral on the tables were real, disney provided everything

 

[orangetiggs]

ok so while everyone was enjoying the free bar misty suggested we went for a walk round the Grand Floridian to get some photos of Just my new husband and I.

So we walked around everwhere to get some good pics

it was a nightmare trying to get me in the hammock!! it took three of them to get me in and i just fell out of it!!

Oh my something blue was my hidden mickey in my flowers

this is our singing in the rain pose

We then went back to the whitehall room for around 10 mins and then it was time for us to move onto epcot for our dessert party

 

[orangetiggs]

on the way to uk lower we got to go backstage in epcot, as we drove round we saw a golf cart with whinnie the pooh, tigger and piglet. It was so funny as they were scrambling to put their heads back on so no one could tell they were not real!!

Once we got to uk lower Misty kindly asked the guide if we could have 30 mins around the world show case and they said yes! we got some lovely pics and I'm so glad she asked.

My new husband wanted tot alk to our guests but I made him go as I knew we had to take up on the chance to get some good photos

i love this one, it looks like we are in france!

 

[disneygal922]

Sarah, that's so nice that you were able to get some pics around Epcot! They are all gorgeous of course! Also, I can totally imagine Winne the Pooh, Tigger and Piglet scrambling for their heads before anyone noticed.... i am curious how they all fit in one golf cart though!! Those heads of the characters can get pretty bulky!

 

[orangetiggs]

so for our dessert party we chose the make you own mousse thing and i must say i didnt eat much of it at all! We didnt have a bar here we just had the tea,coffee and fruit punch that came with the package and we had no complaints.

The fruit punch was so nice!

these were our centrepieces

then we watched the fireworks, illuminations was different tonight as they didnt have the world that went around so it was just packed with fireworks.

we stayed in the uk lower area till around 10pm i think, no one rushed us or anything.

Here are a few pics that our best men took with our compact camera

these are the lights from the ice slipper sorbet!!

the view, sorry its a bit blurred

after everything was finished my moh wanted to have a go with the light saber thing that the guide was using to usher us back to the bus

we then got back on the bus to CSR to the rix lounge where we had a few drinks and that was the end of our wedding day

it was funny, a drive and tigger were in the front and the other two were in the back! i only saw them putting the heads back on but my sister who is 12 saw the whole thing! she was not impressed
