Vanessa- figmentfan814 ~ Happily Ever Wedding & 10th Anniversary VR Brunch #1 Added 8-10

[figmentfan814]

Okay, here's a short update after some delay. My computer finally got back yesterday, but they ended up reinstalling my harddrive, so I have been reloading programs and files to get my computer up and running again.

Wedding morning continued~
The limo for the guys picked them up at POR at 7:00 a.m. My MOH took a bunch of things over to their room including the CD player for a couple of songs during the ceremony and reception along with the glow necklaces for the dessert party shortly before they left. Meanwhile, we finished getting ready in the room; this was around the time I got in my dress.

Here are some pictures of the guys arriving at Epcot; I don't have any real details about their arrival except that there was a problem with the limos. Apparently one of the limo drivers hit something "backstage" by the AAR on the way out which created a big traffic jam there. The limos in turn were late to pick us up at POR around 7:40.

A good shot of Spaceship Earth and the AAR that morning:

The limo pulling up from backstage:

Notice the groomsmen carrying everything that we sent over with them

Kris and his best man checking out their boutonneires in the mirror:

Shots in Italy:
I love the boat in this one-

I will post some more pictures of the guys pre-ceremony tomorrow.

During this time, Marion had arrived at the rotunda and called me because they could not find the sand ceremony set. After I gave her a detailed description she sent someone back to Disney Floral who found it in the boxes that we had sent them the week before. This was the second time I spoke to Marion that morning and it was only 7:30 a.m.

Another side track with the limos was that our friend who was singing at the ceremony was supposed to ride with the guys in the limo so he could meet the pianist to practice. Well, he thought he could drive his own car over there and took off. Since it was backstage he would not have been allowed through security (in-park weddings require chartered transportation like the buses and limos that we had for everyone). We had to have his wife (my matron of honor) track him down by phone to make sure he got back to the resort in time to ride with us.

Here's the link to her site if you want it. I did a trial when we went down for our planning session which was a great help. Plus, we got some engagement pictures done that day too, so I got some use out of the trial!

Spaceship Earth is such a cool backdrop. We have some pictures at the Living Seas with it in the background, so stay tuned

Vanessa loving your TR. the pics are great I especailly love the MIB - they look so cool

 

[29apr00]

Great pics with all those guys!! Seems like the guys never get good pics, because they don't want to smile, but you got some really good ones! can't wait to see more!

 

[DisneyBrideToni]

I love these pics!!! My favorite is the shot of your DH in the sunglasses. That is awesome. I can't wait to see more!!!!

This is my favoite picture out of all the ones in this post! I think it's because it says to me "Hey, the focus is on me today because it's my wedding, but these guys are behind me to support me and join in on my special day" (ok, that came out really corny, but it's hard to put into words!). I love you and your husband's story, and I hope I can have a fairy tale romance and wedding some day too

 

[pink_tink8i8]

Those are great pictures!! I love how you dubbed them the secret service/men in black

 

[disneychickforever]

The men look so spiffy! It's awesome lol.

Now it's your turn *dun dun dun*

Sorry really hyper today lol. Can't wait to read more

I'm so jealous, how many days will you be down there. The flower and garden festival at Epcot is the best. Hopefully, I will have all the wedding done by the time you're back

I was glad that Randy got some great shots of the two of them together. It was especially nice that he had that time with his mom since his dad couldn't be there.

 

[figmentfan814]

Vanessa loving your TR. the pics are great I especailly love the MIB - they look so cool

I guess Randy was really going for that look and it paid off!

Great pics with all those guys!! Seems like the guys never get good pics, because they don't want to smile, but you got some really good ones! can't wait to see more!

I was impressed too because you're right most of the time the shots of the guy aren't that good.

That is so sweet and not corny at all. I've been working on our scrapbook and that sounds like good inspiration for page.

Thank you, I'm sure you won't have to wait long for your fairytale After all Kris and I knew each other for 8 years before we got married, so you never know where you will end up.
