So, we ended up walking by the Wedding Pavilion on your wedding day as we needed to drop of stuff for our wedding later in the week. We didn't want to be those creepy people lurking about, so we didn't stick around for your ceremony. However, I did take a couple pictures of the Wedding Pavilion sign just in case your photographer didn't get any shots of it with your names on the sign. I'll upload them and send you the link if you would like it. 
I hope you had a truly magical day! The weather was perfect for you!!!
Congrats and have a wonderful marriage!

Thank you so much for the lovely comments ladies! We had a wonderful wedding and honeymoon.
I'm not sure if our photographer did take any pics, my SIL did but I would still love to see yours.
Hope you had a wonderful day too! xx
The weather was amazing, shame about the weekend that followed it. I won't go into detail yet but it caused me a mini stress..
Right erm... I probably wont start my TR till about tuesday, we've got lots to do our end. But here are a few pics that SIL took at the wedding.
Going down the aisle
Us with the BMs
Outside pics
Ignore my face lol... it's a good pic of the dress
First dance
Also a pic from our meal at Park Fare, this was so much fun and Anastasia was fab!
Right thats about it till tuesday, in the mean time I'll try and catch up on everybody elses PJ/TRs. xx

Welcome to our trip report, a full 2 weeks of stress, laughter and a whole lot of cakey goodness.
We were due to fly to Orlando from Manchester on fri 30th and because we were taking flying newbies with is (my parents and sister) we decided it would be best if we drove up to Manchester Airport with my parents following us. If anything were to stress us out over the 2 weeks it wouldn't be the wedding!
Anyway... the trip to Manchester wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Dad managed to follow us all the way without getting seperated from us or lost. Result! Oh yeah and I also had my Disney CDs to get us in the mood. Btw I should mention that I am tone deaf and I make up for my lack of talent by singing loud and enthusiastically. Our only problem was that we couldn't find the car park we needed... eventually we found it. I had to ask a woman for help and she looked at me like I was a looney lol.
We got to Manchester Airport and booked ourselfs into the Radisson Blu Hotel. James' family were due to join us a bit later on that night. So in the mean time we showed my parents how to get to the terminal as they were due to fly out on the flight after ours.
When the others arrived, they checked in and then we all met up for something to eat. James had a beef and onion sandwich whilst I had such a tasty leek and potato soup. It was lovely.
Then it was time to say bye to my parents as we needed to be up at 5.30am and they got to have a lie in. Before we went to our room Dad asked James to check something to do with his tickets. Here comes the first stress of the the two weeks
We thought he'd forgotten his tickets. Turned out he hadn't so we went to our room.
This is the view we had from our room of the walkway to our terminal.
And this was our room, as exciting as this is.
We got up the next day at 5.30am. I hate mornings, I don't do well with them. When we were inside the terminal we had a quick walk around the duty free shops and then because we're cool we had free tickets into the V-Lounge. James' sister came with us because she paid for a ticket. Inside we had a free breakfast which was rather good. James' parents were supposed to be going in to another lounge however there was some kind of mix up so we convinced them to come join ours. Throughout all of this I had my wedding dress with me in a box that Virgin had sent me and boy was it heavy! It hurt my poor hands.
The V lounge was pretty cool, there was so much to do besides eat as much breakfast as you can. Me and James played on the football table (where I came out as the champion!) and lurked around on the the internet.
After we were done with that it was pointed out to us that as we entered the V Lounge they had put a little message up on a board for us, but we were to busy thinking about food to notice.
They even put a little tannoy announcement out for us, which was nice. After meeting up with my parents for a bit me, James, FIL, MIL and SIL boarded our plane.
Plane journey was nothing special, I don't like flying. I did manage to watch Thor
lovestruc) and Pirates of the Carribean 4. Eventually we landed in Orlando. The heat that hit us was wonderful, I could have stood outside and basked in that beautiful sunshine for hours. Oh and cue another tannoy announcement to the happy couple, everyone stared at us. 
We had transport to Pop Century and we checked in. I had the task of watching our luggage with SIL while everyone else checked in. As James was checking in the CM who was helping MIL check in came over to speak to James. MIL had asked to be near us and the CM came over to confirm that this was ok with us, that made me laugh. CM didn't think we'd like being next door to either parents.
We asked to be near the lobby (to make walking in my dress easier) and we also asked for a high floor. We got a high floor alright but they put us in the building furthest away from the lobby, James suspected this was because of MIL
The CM on check in desk gave us 2 happily ever after buttons and the others got we're celebrating buttons which was nice.
After we had unpacked me and James went for a wander by ourselves. It was about 6pm and we were a little tired so we stayed in Pop Century. Along the way (to my delight as I've never come accross one in WDW before) we found a lizard!
We also saw a toad... no idea why I find it so fascinating.
By time we'd done wandering it was about 8.30pm and my parents still hadn't arrived. I was a little anxious to begin with because they'd never flown before. We tried to phone my mum but it just rang through. About an hour later they still hadn't arrived, despite confirmation that their plane had landed round about 6pmish. I started to feel rather uneasy. Unable to settle me, James and the Inlaws sat outside near the buses waiting for a glimpse of them. A CM near us started to have a chat and told us not to worry, that is until we told him what time the plane landed. We tried to call my mum again but no answer, this time it didn't even ring.
After all that worrying at about 10.30pm they arrived. My mum had turned her phone off in the airport and hadn't realised she could turn it back on later on. It didn't even occur to her to turn it on once she had left the airport either
Deciding that we were tired and had had enough for one day we grabbed chicked nuggets and fries before heading off to bed.
Up Next: Doing the twist and Magic Kingdom.

Really looking forward to reading your report-we fly out from Gatwick for our DFTW next Friday. Nice to hear about another UK bride!
Quick question if you don't mind-how did you get your hands on a wedding dress box from Virgin? This is exactly what I need as am stressing about how to pack it and we are also flying with Virgin so wondering of they would do the same for me? Thanks!

Oohhh the lounge area sounds so swanky! It sounds like a great start to your trip. (but WOW you must have been exhausted by the time you got to Pop!!)
I'm glad everyone arrived in FL (and, later on, at home!) safely. I can't wait to read more!!
