Our Magical Fairy Tale Wedding Trip! (Finally!)

[Nee Nee and Biddy]

So we get off the elevator and instantly I am alone with Sam (a two-year-old in a tux) and Maxine. This is what I see:

I was so excited at how pretty the cake looked. I couldn't peek around the corner to see where everyone was because I didn't want Billy to see me, so I didn't really know where I was going to be walking. Maxine adjusted my train, said "They're playing your song. Whenever you're ready, go ahead and walk down the aisle." The violin was playing "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes". This was my song, but I couldn't believe everything was happening so fast. Maxine left! I looked at Sam, he looked at me. I asked him if he was ready, and he said "Sure". This is his word for everything. So, I took a deep breath, and started walking. This is where everything starts to get a little fuzzy. I know that Sam stepped on my dress the entire way down the aisle but once I saw Billy my brain shut off. He was trying not to cry. I remember thinking "These flowers are way too heavy and I am shaking someone take them quick!" but I didn't say it. Some Pictures:

My mom, Grandma and Sam

The ceremony was surprisingly quick and Rev. Jack did a wonderful job. He was perfect. I don't remember much, but I do remember how strong and clear Billy's voice was when he said his vows; he didn't sound nervous at all. Suddenly, we were married!

After the Wedding...

We then went inside for our small champange and cake reception. My new brother-in-law kept snapping pictures while my mom and Maxine wrestled with my train.

See my mom's shoulder in this one?

Am I crying tears of Joy or Frustration as they continue to mess with me? Don't worry, it's joy.

After my train was fixed, we went to have a toast and cut the cake.

Billy's dad did the toast and by the time he was done the whole room was in tears. It was so sweet and I am so glad we sprung for the videographer.

Notice I'm not holding my glass because I am still shaking!

Then we cut the cake and it was so so so good! We had Chocolate cake with White Chocolate mousse filling.

Now on to our first dance...our violinist played only Disney songs.

[Nee Nee and Biddy]

After all of the pictures at the Wilderness Lodge, we all hopped in the limo and headed to the Poly for lunch at the Kona Cafe. We were seated quickly and lunch was good.

Us at lunch (notice the huge grin on my face)

Notice the trend of Billy taking pictures of me stuffing my face? Is this blackmail material?

Ko Ko Puffs: our delicious and free dessert!

Some more pictures:

My gold glitter shoes that actually made my feet bleed!

It is so pretty at the Polynesian!

How Sam looked by the time we got back to the hotel. Too much fun?

After all of the festivities, we headed back to POFQ to change our clothes and everyone went to the Animal Kingdom. Since I didn't want to mess with my hair, here's how we looked on the bus ride over:

I promise I will post more about our trip ASAP. I hope you all have enjoyed my wedding pictures. I always enjoy the trip reports that have pictures so much more because you can actually see what's going on. That's why I wanted so many pictures in mine. I want to thank everyone who has posted with their congratulations and kind words!
