Our WILD Fairytale Wedding and Honeymoon Trip! And We're off!!!

[MainStMandy]

Wow, just got all caught up. I haven't checked your PTR for a few days and there were like 4 new pages! LOL! Everything looks awesome! I love all the pic's your posted of family and friends. Yay for getting moved to Italy! That is where I want too, but I don't know if we have enough people... we will most likely get UK. I think Italy has the best view of Illuminations, and the prettiest back drop! I love the candles that will be centerpieces! The carriage ride sounds very romantic! I can't wait to hear about more plans.

Lol sorry...sometimes I get chatty!!! Thanks about the pictures...I am so excited for everyone that is coming down to FL.

I still haven't made the ressie for the carriage ride yet, but I'm really excited about it!!

2 more wedding things crossed off our list today...I paid the videographer and the photography their final payment With except to the dining plan and any spending money...everything is PAID FOR!!!!

In exactly 3 weeks we will be picking up our rental car in FLORIDA!!!!!

So since I posted about our ceremony, I figured I would do a little post on our reception.

After the wedding we will bus all our guests to Harambe at DAK!!!

Here are some pictures from our last trip. Sorry if they are blurry...my brother was doing this wierd 360 thing with his camera...

First I have to show this picture too...Eric has never really met any of the characters..nor does he know who Turk is. But when he walked past Turk he got so excited and gave her the biggest hug. This is him "running" toward her

Tamu Tamu Courtyard

Bad shot but it gives you a good look at the lantern gourds that will be lit up

The tables will remain but have a green mossy colored linen and moroccan lanterns on them.

For cocktail hour we will have open bar with an antipasto display and then dinner will be a buffet:

Salad with Honey Lime Dressing ('Ohana)
Parm crusted Chicken
NY Strip Steak
Parm Goat cheese Risotto
Truffle Mac and Cheese
Seasonal veggies

YUM!!! I'm super excited for the cake too...

We already live together and since our lease is up at the end of April we are looking to buy or maybe build a new home

While all your plans sound great-this has to be the best part!

We are SO excited about this!!! None of the kids know so hopefully it will be a big suprise!

You surely will have the cooooolest wedding ever, simply because of Safari Mickey and Minnie!

Oh! And I forgot to tell you, but while in Animal Kingdom for Thanksgiving, I took a piccy or two for you:

I walked inside to the little courtyard, and Justin was all "Where are ya going?" I simply responded with, "Oh! An internet friend is having her reception here! I wanted to check it out!"

Buying/building a house. Very cool! April will be here soon! Crazy. Will they let you do month-to-month after that until you find a place? That's what we had to do.

I'm in! Great PTR so far. Congrats on your wedding.

 

[AuroraRose]

Thanks!! It was our first gift off our registry! We only registered in case people asked...where are you registered? We don't really need anything so we didn't have the need for a real registry. I'm excited for it!!

We aren't registered anywhere as of yet, but I was thinking about a Disney honeymoon registry if we're able to make it to WDW for part of the honeymoon! We don't really need anything either!

And your post about all the food made my mouth water! OMG, that all sounds so yummy! And score for your special guests, how awesome is that?!

We are hoping...after talking to some people we aren't sure if we are going to build or buy exisiting. If we build it might be with the same people that own our apartment complex so hopefully we can extend our lease a bit.

I'm in! Great PTR so far. Congrats on your wedding.

Thanks and welcome!!

And the food...OMG it was so good when we went to our tasting. The chicken was my fav...well besides the cake!!

OK, I"m confused... I thought your reception was moved to Italy? Or was that a different event??

Help me out here.

The Tamu Courtyard DOES look absolutely lovely!!! So pretty!

The dessert party, which is actually the night before our wedding and is a Welcome party for ALL our guests was moved from the UK to Italy.

The reception is definitely in Tamu Tamu

AHHH.... gotcha! Thanks for clearing that up! So you have 2 events in parks. The welcome dessert party in Italy, AND a Reception at Tamu.

I love amaretto anything!

BTW, maybe you answered this: how many guests will be at your reception?? is it for just family or more people??

That is correct!! Df's parents wanted to invite EVERYONE to our reherasal but when we explained the cost...well it didn't work. So...

Tuesday-
Rehersal at the Wedding Pavilion
Dinner at 'Ohana
These two events will be just the 12 of us (bridal party w/spouses, parents, my brother and grandmother)

THEN...we'll head to EPCOT for our dessert party with almost all our guests.

In total we have 36 people coming. The dessert party will be short by 4 since 2 of our guests don't arrive until Wednesday and one of my guests is a CM and is working that night.

What a great menu! YUMMY! And I love the Mickey and Minnie will be there too!

Thanks!!! Eric I think is the most excited about Mickey and Minnie!

menu looking really good. It's getting nearer It's great to hear about all your plans coming together and seeing the pictures of your wedding locations

Thanks! I don't want to bore you guys with wedding stuff so I am trying to give a little of both!!
