Summer & Steven's Fairytale Wedding TR, 20th Aug SBP Baby Pics!!!

[Missy H]

Summer- I love you pictures, we (I) have booked Randy for our VR! He phoned my the other night and sounds wonderful! Is he good to work with?

 

[Summer-Caitlin]

MissyH - Randy is teriffic, I can't say enough good things about him. You can't go wrong booking him. As I continue on in my TR, I will mention him more and I will give a full review at the end of the wedding day as I will do with STVS, Disney, Rev Randall Miller, and the next day our Disney Photographer Paul Looper (MK Shoot)

I have to say summer your wedding looked great! I cant wait to read more and until we get out there to have ours! Only 11 months to go!

 

[DisneyObsession]

I am sitting here at work with a tear in my eye! You are one of the most beautiful brides I have seen! The dress, the flowers, the veil...all magnificent!!!!

Waiting patiently for more of the wedding day to unfold!

 

[MistressOfAllEvil]

This is soooooo great Summer! I love the step-by-step with pictures!!! It really gives me something to visualize and plan off of. This is the best TR ever (no offense anyone else, lol) Not to mention, I love your writing style!

You look amazing in the pics! Can't wait for more Take your time though... I'd rather wait to get all the details and resized pictures.

 

[The Charmed One]

You look amazing, the photo's are great, your flower's are beautiful, can't wait to hear more.

 

[Summer-Caitlin]

orangetiggs - You must be getting excited? I remember when my ticker said 11 months, it went by so quickly.

DisneyObsession - Aww thanks, your colleagues must think you're nuts! That was a really sweet compliment, I'm touched!

MistressOfAllEvil - Thank you for the compliment. I figure I can put up another instalment but I think that will be all for today...

The Charmed One - Thank you very much!

Randy reappeared and he started snapping frantically:

The violinist came up, introduced himself and shook my hand. He seemed really sweet but again his name escapes me. He briefly ran down the order of the songs but to be honest I wasn't really listening, all I remembered is that I was to walk down the aisle to 'Canon in D'.

It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and there was a warm breeze. I started to worry about my hair but my mom kept telling me it looked fine.

Tanis told us it was time for us to get into positions and she said she would take my purse so I didn’t need to carry it down the aisle. Everything was happening so fast and I wanted to take it all in. I saw Randy and Stan, and in the distance, I could see Rev Miller with Steven.

I wondered how my cake looked. The bottom layer was Chocolate cake with Peanut Butter Mousse filling and the top layer was Almond Cake with Amaretto Mousse filling. I also had fondant added with buttercream underneath. It was exactly as I hoped for:

I also hoped that my memorial flower for my dad had been remembered:

I only wanted a single yellow calla lily for him to be placed on a chair. He was a simple guy and enjoyed the simple things. He knew my favourite flowers were Calla Lillies and one day, when I was 9 yrs old, he came home and gave me a yellow Calla Lily and a bottle of Paris perfume. It is one of those treasured memories I have of him. He gave it to me for no reason, "just because" he said.
Even though my dad and I had our differences, I am sure he would have been at my wedding if he could. My father died in an accident in 2003. He was there in spirit though, I knew that.

Tanis positioned us and I could overhear her telling my mom she would give her the instruction to walk once the music started.

Randy had left and I assumed he was over with Steven:

The moment was here, I had waited literally years for this. Steven and I have been together for 9 years as of August 17th. There were times when I didn’t think this day was ever going to happen. We have been through many ups and downs, family issues, personal issues, a miscarriage, financial problems, career changes, loss of family and finally a break-up last year. We really have overcome more than most. Through it all, we have learned a lot, we have learned to accept each other, flaws and all.
We both made mistakes in the past, but we managed to find each other again. I am not one for believing that life is easy, but when you have someone to share those trials and tribulations with, it does become easier.
I love Steven, probably more than he will ever know and I was glowing that day, not because of make up, or the jewellery or even my dress. I was glowing because I was truly happy that day and nothing will ever change my perfect memory of that perfect moment…and the music began…

Aww
thats really touching about the flower for your father. It brought tears to my eyes.

You are a beautiful bride.

Can't wait for more.

Summer - like everyone else I am hanging on to every word of your TR! I can relate to your makeup story because I felt exactly the same way on my wedding day and did not have time to change mine either. However, you look stunning with the makeup you did get! I don't think you could look bad ever!
Also, love the touch about your Dad. My mom had passed 4 years before my wedding and never met my husband. That was the hardest part of my wedding day, was not having her there. So I understand how you might have felt. I am sorry about your father's accident.

Your pictures are FABULOUS. I can't wait to see more!

 

[B2B-2008]

Summer your last post made me cry.

Can't wait to read more.

 

[AInWonderland]

Wow. I read your trip report everyday and it just gets better and better. What a beautiful couple and story!!

 

[Dream426]

Summer I find myself checking a few times a day to see if you added more. I am loving it. You looked beautiful on your wedding day. Congrats!! Can't wait to read more.

 

[Hillary12.8.07]

Oh wow Summer I have so many things I could say.
First and foremost, that last post made me cry as well. You two are beautiful, and had an amazingly beautiful wedding...and like you said, not because of the dress, or the hair or makeup...I could tell from your video there was something magical about the two of you. Stunning.

Now with all of that said, you did look gorgeous! And I am in LOVE with your flowers, and I do not like Calla lillies normally, but those are beautiful!! I LOVE the color! Awesome!!

I've said it before but again, you are a fantastic writer, you should totally be an author. This is def one of the very best TR's I have ever read, your attention to detail and way of capturing our emotions is just awesome!

I'm anxiously waiting for more!!!

 

[Funniebunny]

Summer, your trip report is fantastic. I have read every post but the last one brought a tear to my eye.
I have 2 months to go and I'm feeling exactly as you were at that point, the antisipation is starting to get to me. I hope my day is as wonderful as yours

 

[IloveChip]

Summer,
I think by far this was your best installment! It made me cry... I love your description of your relationship and it seems like you have a very good friend in your Husband. Thanks for sharing and I can not wait to read more!

 

[MistressOfAllEvil]

MistressOfAllEvil - Thank you for the compliment. I figure I can put up another instalment but I think that will be all for today...

Sorry... I'm a bit of a raving lunitic, completely and utterly addicted to your TR and your wedding. I'm not quite sure why I've become this obsessed, but I have I'll attempt to reighn in my crazy, demanding behavior

I just wanted to let you know that I was tearing up here at work as I read this last intallment. Especially when you were talking about your relationship with your DH. My DF and I have been together for over 10 years and I still cannot believe we're finally getting married. But, we had to wait this long, b/c we met so young and we had so much growing up and growing together to do. Your description just really spoke to me!

Anyhow, another amazing installment. You look amazing, your flowers look amazing, your cake looks amazing. The whole thing is amazing. Can't wait to hear more. I'm patiently waiting until tomorrow!

 

[Eeyore's Tailfinder]

Love it, love it!! You have a lot to celebrate in Disney together next year then... 10 years together!!

 

[HarbinsMom]

Summer, the picture of you getting out of the limo is priceless. You should really have that one framed.

I'm hanging on barely after that last installment. I understand exactly how you feel. My husband and I will celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary in December, but we've been together since our first date, almost 25 years ago. (We were both babies!). Even now, I can't believe we're still together after all the craziness and trying to raise an almost 15 year old.

Can't wait to hear more.
