I'm approaching our 30th and this thread made me weep. What a glorious gathering and celebration. You are to be congratulated and commended. Blessings to you and your beautiful family. Here's to the next 25!

Thank you, everyone, for the kind comments!

Cee (or anyone else), if you need phone numbers or other details when planning your special day (Disney's cake phone #, etc.), then just shoot me a message. I'd be happy to share whatever info I have. Congrats on your 30th!

Always wondered about the lovely pictures in you sig. DD now 17 dreams of a Disney wedding, DH and I are to celebrate our 20th on Sept 1st. Always told the kids we wouldn't want that suprise 25th party...might just consider following in your steps with a family only special celebration when the time comes. Thank you so much for sharing your details a beautiful pics with us.

Thank you for sharing the details .. I have been admiring the pictures in your signature and enjoyed reading how you celebrated your 25th.

Our 25th is coming up this September. We have our annual trip to Disney planned with some family members in December and I was considering doing something special one evening to celebrate with everyone.

Question about the Bistro .. how did you arrange to have the special table with the view of the fireworks? Did you call after you had made your dining reservation?

Congratulations .. you have a beautiful family .. and Congratulations to your mom and dad too for their 50th .. may you all continue to be blessed with health and happiness!

Again, thank you all!

Peggy, we made our advanced dining reservations at Bistro for the latest seating available right at the reservation window. When we arrived at Disney for the trip (the day before our anniversary), we stopped by the restaurant and spoke with the manager personally about our upcoming dinner. He made the arrangements from there so that we would have that table. He did recognize us from attending the W&F Festival regional lunches and other special events over the years, so I think that helped. That alcove table is a beautiful location... it's a bit secluded from the other tables in the Bistro and the view of the fireworks is great! We really did feel like we had the entire park to ourselves that night!

I also have been admiring your signature pictures. So nice to see more of them and hear about the details. A belated congratulations to you and your husband. It will be DH's and mine 15th next week, and I so look forward to our 25th - maybe we will have to copy you!

You're pictures are beautiful. Was it Randy Chapman who took your pictures?

Thank you... and YES, you are correct about his name!!!! That's what I get for writing a trip report at 3 in the morning!

RANDY Chapman is a fabulous photographer! He's personable, easy-going, and creative. Most importantly, he made everybody in the family feel very much at ease in front of the camera... a very rare event for both my hubby and my dad. I can't say enough great things about him! Really, all of our vendors were wonderful. The gals over on the Weddings and Honeymoons Board certainly didn't steer us wrong.

Sounds like you had a wonderful anniversary. And the fact that you were able to share it with your parents anniversary just made it more special. I'm sure. Thanks for sharing!

This is very beautiful, and what a special event! Congrats on 25 years, such a blessing. I will never forget my parents' 25th anniversary celebration. They were suppose to go on their first cruise together, then I talked them into taking me and my brother, so it was a family affair, it was great!

Thank you so much for sharing, it is definitely inspiring to see all of this!

 

[LittleStinkerbelle]

What a beautiful celebration! Thanks so much for sharing the details. I love how your group wore bronze/silver/gold -- what a fantastic idea and you all looked great!

Wonderful account of your anniversary. DH and I are taking our four children, their spouses and DGD for our 35th anniversary in December. We too are staying at the BWV, GV and 2 studios. After reading your report I think that I want to do something special for DH. Thank you for sharing your special day.

Congratulations on 25 years. We celebrated our 10th and 20th with Disney and are hoping to do it all over again in 8 yrs in Hawaii with Disney....they just seem to know how to do it right.

you are all beautiful and a wonderful example to your daughter that a marriage can work for a very long time!

Thank you all!

Cheryl, I was also thinking DVC Hawaii would be a fantastic place for a future anniversary. That would be my two favorite types of vacation rolled into one... beach AND Disney! =)

Hi
I followed your link from the wedding boards and just had to say that I thin you had the most beautiful and elegant day!! I hope mine at the Swan next May is even half as lovely!!
We too have booked Randy as our photographer (which reminds me, I must touch base with him and inform him of our updated plans!!). I have heard so many glowing reports about him!!
Thank you for sharing your special day with us!!
Much love and congratulations to you both
Joanne

Your plans posted in the Weddings and Honeymoons forum sound beautiful... Best wishes for a fabulous day!

Thanks for sharing and feeding my dreams about a WDW vow renewal. Your pictures--and family--are beautiful.

 

[dianeschlicht]

Thanks for telling us the details of those beautiful photos! The story is as beautiful as the pictures. We celebrated our 35 at WDW 7 years ago, but we didn't do anything formal....just had dinner with our grown children.
