Thanks for the great update!
You have really sold me on Misty! Now, I'm not sure...Mickey & Minnie or Mickey and Donald! So many decisions!!!
LOL Mickey and Donald were great together. Minnie would be great too. Minnie can dance with your husband and you can dance with Mickey!
Toni, you have made me soooooo unbearably jealous! I sooooooooooooooo want Mickey and Donald at my wedding....! I wish so much that we were having DFTW....
Your day is just soooo stunning and beautiful! I love it!!
Bob xoxoxoxox
Aww Your wedding is fabulous especially with that green dress of yours!!! I love it!
Great update Toni. Your reception looked wonderful. Having Mickey and Donald looks like so much fun. I am sure everyone enjoyed it. The pictures that Misty took are lovely. I can't wait to read about your dessert party. As for my PJ I haven't started one yet. I may try to start one soon but I am still settling in over here in the UK. I moved here from Canada in January to live with my Fiance. Can't wait for the next update.
Thank you! Mickey and Donald were great together. Very funny! Let me know when you start your PJ! I would love to read all about your plans!!!
Toni, your reception looked wonderful, the characters really do make an entrance dont they. Everyone looked like they had fun at the reception, I especially love the photos of you and bobbu in the photo booth. Looking forward to the next installment.
Toni x
They really do make an entrance!! Everyone was so excited to see them. The funny part is they are in character the whole time. Even when they were leaving and going down the hall they were still goofing off with each other.
Toni your food looked so good!!! YUM!!
AWWW I love the character photos! Tim is going to be mighty jealous when I show him later haha. The one with your hands is so cute.
So glad you went to SBP and were able to get some pictures. They came out great.
I love the picture of you all in the bus lol!!
LOL Donald was my best friend there!!! Tell Tim that he just can't be Donald's number 1 fan now.
Toni, your wedding appears to have been perfect! You and Bobby look so incredibly happy in ALL your pics.
I love the Donald/Mickey combo! I know i've said it a billion times but Misty did an absolutely phenominal job. Thank you so much for posting about her, I'm so excited to work with her and Nelio!
Thank you!!!! Donald and Mickey were so much fun! Misty is wonderful!! You are going to love her and Nelio. She will really be such a big help to you on your wedding day also!
You two look so in love. Your pictures came out beautifully. I hope mine comes close to looking like yours.
Thank you!!! Your pictures are going to be beautiful too!!!
I loved seeing all of your pictures! They were all so beautiful. Your reception looks like it was really fun for everyone. It looks like you had some really great charachter interaction. We did too, and thought it was $$$ well spent. My DH really got into interacting with them as well even though I was also unsure what reaction he would have to them.
Can't wait to read more!
Thank you! We had such a great time! I really didn't think Bobby would get into the characters but he said it was such a good thing to have. He had a blast.

Toni,
I loved the pictures of you guys & the characters outside on the balcony at the Attic.........so adorable!!!!!! My favorite was the group shot of you guys kissing & everyone covering their eyes......so cute.
The Boardwalk all lit up at night makes such a beautiful backdrop.
Can't wait for more.
The group shots were so much fun. That is my favorite too!!! The boardwalk was so beautiful that night and I love how you could see Spaceship Earth from the balcony.
Toni~ you really have some great shots! First, the food looks and sounds like it was really delicious; I love seeing the shots of the food. On your champagne glasses did you have a crystal pink Mickey head added? The pictures of you with your guests are really nice; I know I was glad that we got a lot with our guests too. The character pictures are awesome; I love the lighting on some of them when you're on the porch with the Boardwalk and Epcot in the background. That is so cute how Bobby really got into it
Its funny because the only TR with Donald that I have ever read have always been at the Attic, so that's the only place I can ever picture him for a wedding
Love some of the shots in the photo booth; it would have been fun to actual do the photo booth pictures to save for a scrapbook. Looking forward to seeing the DP; I can't wait for the pavilion shots with the circus tent
The food was super good! I did add pink Mickey heads to the glasses. I just used some crystals with this sticky stuff on the back. It worked out pretty good. Having guests shots are such a great idea. Its nice to see everyone that was there celebrating with you. I guess Donald likes the Attic!!! He has been there so many times!! Mickey and Donald were so much fun! I am glad we did that combo. Mickey was a last minute addition though. I wish we did do some photo booth pictures! That would have been really cool. I will be sure to post lots of DP pics!!
Ok, Mickey and Donald look like so much fun! The more pictures I see the more characters I want at our wedding lol! We aren't doing the traditional Mickey?Minnie eithier (I want Chip and Dale - our faves) so it's nice to see the personality of those guys. It looks like Bobby had a blast with them too! Did you think the 1/2 they come for is long enough to cut the cake, dance, take pics etc etc?
The hand pic is my fave too, although your DH and the guys doing the "muscle shot" is pretty great too lol!
Now the food, OMG you menu looks amazing! All the apps and entrees looked so good, is that all the same stuff your tried at your PS?
Ohhh Chip and Dale would probably be a lot of fun. They like to fight with each other too. I have never seen Chip and Dale at a wedding! I would love to see your pics from that! I think the 1/2 hour they are there is a good amount of time for everything. It seemed like they were there for much longer! They didn't really rush them out so they may have went over the 1/2 hour. That was the same food I tried at the PS and it was just as yummy!!
