Wonderful pics!! I've loved your TR so far...keep it coming!! :)

Vanessa! Great pictures! Looking forward to more!

As requested... ;)

Once we were all dressed I had one more phone call to make before we went to wait for the limo. I had to call the pastor to see if he was riding on the bus with the guests or if he was driving his own car. Since they would be able to leave the reception a little early (our first bus would leave the LSS at 1:15 pm) they decided to ride on the bus. They had to be back in Jacksonville for something with their son that evening. I was glad this worked out because I would have had to get Marion on the phone to give him directions to backstage at Epcot!

We went outside to wait for the limos and we didn't see anything. Someone had to run up to the lobby area to check to see if it accidentally went there, but thankfully Marion called to tell us about the little situation with the limos backstage at Epcot. From what I found out later one of the drivers hit some trash cans that went into the service road behind the countries. I never got any real details, but this put us about 10 minutes behind which was valuable picture time!

Waiting in front of our room for the limo:

There's another picture that I forgot to load into Photobucket that looks on the other side of the porch with my parents, the hostesses and their moms along with my flowergirl and bridal attendant. We were quite a site with us all standing on the porch.

Around this time my MOH's parents walked by on their way back to their room. They had ran to the lobby to buy the newspapers I requested. Coming from a media background I always collect headlines from important dates. I had set a reminder in my phone to get a paper from our wedding day over 6 months earlier. I was so thankful that they had agreed to pick it up for me. It might have been funny to see a bride in the lobby shop buying a paper :bride:

The limo finally arrived and pulled up in front of our building. I was riding in one with my bridesmaids, flowergirl, and her mom

There is a picture of the bridesmaids sitting together (that I took, but alas in the 2,000 plus I had to sort through I forgot to upload it). This is a neat shot that my matron of honor took when she asked to use my camera I was curious what she was shooting and it was their reflection in the mirror above the bar.

Here is Amanda holding up my dress over her :)

My parents, bridal attendant, the singer, and the two hostesses along with their moms were in the second limo.

Do you think he was listening to our wedding song for practice ;)

Once we were on our way I pulled out the video camera. I had been video clips all morning and the ride over to the ceremony would be no exception! I might have gotten some shots backstage :rolleyes1 Everyone was so excited on the ride over.

We noticed a water bottle sitting in one of the cupholders so we looked inside the bar and it was empty! I was dying for another diet coke. We later found out that the groomsmen had drank everything and with the limo fiasco backstage they had forgotten to refill the bar since they were running behind. Apparently the other limo was still fully stocked with pop and water :headache:

When we pulled up behind the AAR we only pulled to the side gate. I didn't think about it at the time, but as you can see in the guys pictures we should have pulled in front of the building on the World Showcase walkway. Apparently, Disney would have nothing of it after the driver had already had an accident that morning. The downside was that Randy and Stan were out front waiting for us, so we didn't get any of those cool shots.

I realized I am lacking in the amount of pictures that I uploaded for this time, so you will have to stay tuned :happytv: for more updates. It probably won't be until tomorrow night.
 
Vanessa,
That sucks about the soda and the limo. It's always those little things that make everything magical. You should have had front gate service for the day princess. And I'm sure if Kris is anything like my DH he was like...ha ha:laughing: ...I got to and you didn't. Na na na na boogers! To which I would reply you drank all the royal courts refreshments! And so on and so on....ok, so now I'm off my tangent. You help me to remember my wedding and I love it! More please:goodvibes
Anna Marie
 
anxiously waiting!!!! I know I've said this a million times but I just love how the girls all had a different color dress. It just compliments everybody so well :) I love that picture of you in the limo. You look like you were just glowing :goodvibes
 
awesome pics, Vanessa! I am loving the trip report. Sorry about the lack of diet coke in the limo! :sad1:
 
yay for updates!! Can't wait for more! (though I'll be at my ps this week..but ill read as soon as im back!!)

I looked at all of the Randy pics today...they are so beautiful!! And I love the different color dresses...it complements everyone SO well. Beautiful...truly beautiful!
 
Vanessa can I ask you what is a hostess?

Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing...also...can anyone tell me the difference between an attendant and a bridesmaid? I know Jenna Bush had lots of attendants but only one BM so I'm confused.
 
Hello, I was just reading up on the TR and I noticed your message....I really have no idea what the difference is between an attendant and a BM. So, can't really help you there...but I noticed your pic and was wondering what color and type your flowers are in your bouquet? I can't tell if those are a really dark burgundy color or more of a brown color...I asked because my colors are chocolate and pink, and it just caught my eye....:)

They are burgundy, but I can see how they sorta looked chocolate. :)
 
I'm loving your trip report! I started reading it right when you started, but got busy and just cam on today and I'm so happy that you're back! :goodvibes

I'm excited to see all of your pictures from the wedding. I would love to have my wedding reception (I'm not even engaged yet...LOL!) in the AAR, so I'm super excited to see those pics.

Thanks for sharing! You are so organized and I love how you did so many unique things (lunch at FRESH, hay ride, etc.). Hope you have a great weekend...can't wait to read more! :goodvibes
 
Vanessa can I ask you what is a hostess?

I know some people assing slightly different job duties, but for us the two hostesses were in charge of handing out the programs and bubbles at the ceremony. They also helped with some of the corsages. Then at the reception, they made sure that everyone signed the guestbook and helped handle the packing of the leftover cake and picking up our snowglobe centerpieces. They also helped carry all of our miscellaneous things like the parasols, etc. I know at my matron of honor's wedding she also had her hostesses serve appetizers at the reception and they walked the bridal party through the line carrying their plates for them. :goodvibes To be honest, I actually got the idea from attending weddings for my African American friends, I've never been to a wedding in my family where they had hostesses.
