Vanessa! Gorgeous pictures! DF and I this morning watching the slide show!

Love your castle cake topper! I really like your bracelet-is it swarovski? Figment is cute in the gel things at the DP.

Nice variety of pictures-where did you fit in GF pix?

Thank you so much for sharing!

I found the castle on our planning session trip on Main Street. It is a piece of work by Jim Shore.

My bracelet is the Cinderella swarovski that matched my tiara. I have the necklace too, but it didn't go with the neckline on my dress.

We actually did the Grand Floridian after the brunch. If you notice one of the groomsmen is missing He had to leave for his flight. We had some extra time on our charter bus, so we rushed over there for about 30 minutes of pictures.

Vanessa - thank you for sharing your pictures.

I love, love, loved them! You two just looked so happy. Randy truly captured your day beatifully!

 

[pink_tink8i8]

Vanessa, you're pictures are AMAZING !!!!!!! I'm so happy that Randy captured all the hard work you put into your details. You should really think about becoming a wedding planner you know I don't think that I ever saw a picture of your tiara before. I love it!!!

I tried to go through tonight and sent out a PM to everyone that I thought had posted on my TR. Let me know if you didn't get a message from me.

Okay Vanessa, I'm bummed... I must have missed something because I've been checking back for pics (even read through the thread again) and didn't find any of the ceremony. I must admit I've been preoccupied with my MOMS Club packet I got from Disney (tons of free stuff, you've gotta love free Disney goodies!!! ) Well, I was posting on the MOMS Panel sight and slacked over here a bit. Could you please fill me in...

P.S. Not a stalker just a "Disney Freak" who's wanting to renew her vows at WDW for my 15th anv. in 2 yrs.

Oh, by the way. Has anyone ever used Randy to take family photos around the resorts? I read on another thread that he does this. We are participating in the Expedition Everest Challenge in Sept and would love to have our family photos taken somewhere by a professional (not just a CM in the parks). Sorry to change the subject, the thought of asking you guys just hit me.

Vanessa -- Thank you so much for sharing your pix, sweetie! Everything came together so beautifully that I can't begin to compliment you on all the touches.
These are the things that totally jump out at me:
1. The centerpieces are PERFECT!!!!! WOW!!
2. LOVED the Jim Shore castle. I bought the Lenox anniversary version and I am torn as between the two on which looks more authentic and fairy tale-ish. Very pretty.
3. Your cake was unique and really pretty!
4. The pix of you and Kris dancing are so romantic
5. The parasol pix are so beautifully composed, especially in WS. Just gorgeous
and last, but not least
6. The pix of you and Kris alone together (and especially the one where he is facing away and you have your head resting on his shoulder with your eyes closed) are swoon-worthy. Randy really captured the love you two feel for each other.

All of this makes me SOOOO excited about having Randy lined up for our VR!!

Thank you again for taking us all along on this wonderful journey. It has been such a pleasure seeing all of your efforts come together!

Vanessa,
I tried to PM you today, but it said that your box was all full! Thanks! Meghan

 

[tink76]

I just read the whole thread today! It sounds amazing! You are a beautiful bride and it looks like everyone was having fun! I would love to see the rest of the pictures!! I hope to renew our vows in 2009 for our 5th anniversary.

 

[DisneyLaura]

Love them. Thanks for including me. Did you have a snowglobe for every table? I have to go read your PJ now to get all the details.

 

[figmentfan0724]

Vanessa loved the pics! Espically loved the figment pic from the DP. My question is was that from Disney or did you find it somewhere? if so where did you find it?

 

[dizneyfreak]

My mouth is still wide open with my jaw on the computer desk. Your pictures were absolutely stunning. I'm so jealous and really, really, really, really, really...you get the point...wish that Randy hadn't been booked on my wedding day. I'm so bummed now I'm so happy for you though! Wow! Wow! Wow! The pictures were all amazing, but the few that popped out at me were the one where you are holding the living seas ball in your hand, the ones in the Japanese garden, all of the ones that were reflections in the glasses and mirrors and limo window, the fireworks pics, oh and my absolute favorite is the one of you looking over your shoulder with those piercing blue eyes. There are many more too, like all the ones of all the little details you worked so long and hard of, that I love. To many to name them all. Thank you for sharing them with us...you made my night

Vanessa, I have been following along on your PJ and TR. I love all of your ideas, you are so creative!! I have been getting alot of ideas for my own DFTW in June of 2009!! I only wish I could be as organized as you. I am kind of new to this site, so I am still trying to figure everything out. I was wondering if you could send me the rest of your wedding pics, since I am kind of hanging on the edge of my seat.. Also, could you send me the info on the scavenger hunt and hidden mickeys that you included in your welcome bags? Thanks!!

 

[DisneyBrideToni]

Wow what a wonderful wedding weekend you had! I would love to see the pics that Randy took if you could PM me the link. You looked fabulous in your gown and your tiara is to die for.

I love that game over shirt you got for your DH. My DF is a HUGE video game fan and always crying the blues that now his life is over since he is getting married. (joking of course...well he better be!) that is the perfect shirt for him...lol

My first post! I was introduced to Disboards by my fiancée about 3 months ago and finally have created a username! I love everyone's stories but esp. yours Figmentfan814! You have the most creative ideas! I have followed your PJ and now your TR... If I promise I'm not your stalker can I also view your fairytale wedding photos? (I'm interested in having a wedding at the Living Seas and would love to see what it looked like on your special day) I completely understand if you don't feel like sharing with the world... but would love to see how it all came together!

Hello, I just saw your post, and just wanted to ask you a question.....My very first post was 2 before yours, and I just wanted to know if you could PM anyone yet? I can't seem to get mine to work, just wondered if there was some secret I should know about.... Thanks..

 

[figmentfan814]

Vanessa - thank you for sharing your pictures.
I love, love, loved them! You two just looked so happy. Randy truly captured your day beatifully!

Vanessa, you're pictures are AMAZING !!!!!!! I'm so happy that Randy captured all the hard work you put into your details. You should really think about becoming a wedding planner you know I don't think that I ever saw a picture of your tiara before. I love it!!!

The tiara was such a great find. I bought the entire Cinderella set for 75% off the outlet price from a Swarovski store in Texas last year. I actually found out about the sale on this board. I definitely might have to take my experiences to expand my professional career.

Hi Julie, I just sent you a PM. Don’t worry though I will still be posting some pictures here. I just don’t want to post links to everything.
So, any idea of where you might want your vow renewal in a couple of years? My parents had originally wanted one this year for their 30th, but our wedding kind of took that away from them. I’m hoping we can plan for their 35th.

Oh, by the way. Has anyone ever used Randy to take family photos around the resorts? I read on another thread that he does this. We are participating in the Expedition Everest Challenge in Sept and would love to have our family photos taken somewhere by a professional (not just a CM in the parks). Sorry to change the subject, the thought of asking you guys just hit me.

Yes, he does and I just sent you a PM with a link to some albums. They’re just as great as his wedding shots.

Vanessa -- Thank you so much for sharing your pix, sweetie! Everything came together so beautifully that I can't begin to compliment you on all the touches.

Thank you, Cam, you are so sweet! I was really happy with how the centerpieces turned out. Our guests loved them and actually took time to check the different ones out around the room. For the castle, I had originally thought about the chocolate one from the pastry shop, but I wanted something that was more permanent that I could keep. If you use the Jim Shore one it is too heavy to sit on a cake, so that’s why we had it sitting on a separate pedal stool.

It’s funny that you mentioned the cake because I knew I drove poor Marion crazy worrying about it. We actually had a conference call with one of the pastry chefs to come up with the design. I was a little difficult because I didn’t want to pick anything straight out of the book/CD that they show you. It turned out perfectly though and I loved how it went with our theme.
Kris and I took dance lessons, so it was great to finally show off our moves. I’ve done ballet for years, so it was interesting to see Kris trying to learn choreography for the first time.

The parasols really made some cool shots. I’m so glad I decided to add them.
It’s funny because you’re right about Randy picking up our love. We’re not usually so sappy, so it’s nice to see the pictures capture our true feelings that we don’t typically show.

Definitely stay tuned for more. I’m hoping to finish the wedding day at least before we leave for Hawaii.

Vanessa,
I tried to PM you today, but it said that your box was all full! Thanks! Meghan

I cleared some out, I was overloaded with messages. It should work now

I just read the whole thread today! It sounds amazing! You are a beautiful bride and it looks like everyone was having fun! I would love to see the rest of the pictures!! I hope to renew our vows in 2009 for our 5th anniversary.

I sent you a PM, let me know if you have any trouble with the link.

Love them. Thanks for including me. Did you have a snowglobe for every table? I have to go read your PJ now to get all the details.

Yes, we did end up with 12 snowglobes. 8 went on the guest tables, 2 for the head table, and 2 on the table with the gifts, display, and guestbook.

Vanessa loved the pics! Espically loved the figment pic from the DP. My question is was that from Disney or did you find it somewhere? if so where did you find it?

We actually paid for the Figment centerpieces through Disney Floral. They weren’t very expensive, if you’re interested in the price let me know and I can send you the information. We also had cocktail napkins printed with foil imprints of his face that we used that night too. I am going to have to take a picture of them to share when I get to the dessert party.

My mouth is still wide open with my jaw on the computer desk. Your pictures were absolutely stunning. I'm so jealous and really, really, really, really, really...you get the point...wish that Randy hadn't been booked on my wedding day. I'm so bummed now I'm so happy for you though! Wow! Wow! Wow!

Thank you, Anna Marie, I’m glad you enjoyed the pictures! Randy just received another award for his work and it is definitely well deserved. I’m sure your pictures are just as beautiful, I look forward to seeing your report soon I was really glad that he was able to get pictures of all the little things too, we because those are the little things that are sometimes forgotten.

Vanessa, I have been following along on your PJ and TR. I love all of your ideas, you are so creative!! I have been getting alot of ideas for my own DFTW in June of 2009!! I only wish I could be as organized as you. I am kind of new to this site, so I am still trying to figure everything out.

Just sent you a PM to get your email address about sending over the documents

Wow what a wonderful wedding weekend you had! I would love to see the pics that Randy took if you could PM me the link. You looked fabulous in your gown and your tiara is to die for.

I love that game over shirt you got for your DH. My DF is a HUGE video game fan and always crying the blues that now his life is over since he is getting married. (joking of course...well he better be!) that is the perfect shirt for him...lol

I hope you enjoy the pictures The shirt is so fitting for so many of the guys!
I’m glad you liked my gown, it took me forever to find one; we went to 15 stores and I tried on almost 200 gowns

My first post! I was introduced to Disboards by my fiancée about 3 months ago and finally have created a username! I love everyone's stories but esp. yours Figmentfan814!
