Aprincess72 Wedding TR! SBP/Raglan Road/Illuminations DP -Complete! Photo link added!

[SRUAlmn]

OK, just finished reading (sorry you answered some of my questions already, I should have read it all before I asked )

Everything was WONDERFUL! Your pictures are so gorgeous, and you had some really pretty and unique locations for your photo shoots! Congrats on everything!

I wondered about being able to take the boat to the IG too. Our coordinator's assistant told me we HAD to take the back entrance if I wanted to wear my dress, no IG option, and definitely not allowed from the front gate (even with as escort.) Hmm Now we just shelled out $240 for a limo that we might not need?

I totally LOVE that Happily Ever After shirt. I have just searched on Ebay and can't find one. Any ideas where else I could look?? I totally want one

When your mom glued the mickeys on your veil, do you know if she just used a hot glue gun? It was such a sweet touch.

We were told from the beginning that we could go through either the front or IG for our dessert party as long as we had an escort. I've seen private parties come through both! I wonder if this is different for customs?

I will be at Epcot Monday and then back at the other parks in a couple of weeks. I will look and see if they have that shirt. I haven't seen it in awhile though. I bought it well over a year ago and haven't seen it since all of the YOMD stuff started coming out. I'm at the parks at least twice a month and always looking for cute shirts!!!

My mom used fabric glue for the veil. She's a crafty one and I'm a technical one so I could have never done that myself. I would have probably glued my veil to my hand or something. I had a hidden Mickey on my dress too!

I just read your planning session TR! Loved it! Not sure how I missed it but I can't wait to see your pics!!! You are going to have an amazing wedding!!!
If you want a wedding crasher too I'm close by! hahaahaa

I just moved back a few years ago after I thought I would never come back! I LOVE it now! I'm hoping to get DH to love it as much as I do so we can stay here!!!
Where did you go to high school? I went to Fletcher... I'm a beach girl!

Moved at 14 from Fort Caroline Middle School ..but it would have been Terry Parker. But I wouldn't have met my DH if I didn't.

My mom is uh... special. I had to warn the photograpy people about her ahead of time. She did get some good pics but she really ran us out of time with the professional photographer! Some of her friends that I told about the wedding crashers said they could believe she did that or that anyone would do that. Oh well... it's too late to put myself up for adoption. I asked my WP to try and get her tipsy before the wedding. I think it's a service that Disney should provide. I didn't see it on my BEO though... lol.

Thanks!!! You are more than welcome to come! I seriously wish I could invite girls from here. I love you all more than some people who are coming!! Plus, our guest count went WAY down because everyone and their mother is having babies or getting married this summer! We're having to add all this extra food just to meet our reception minimum.


I've been searching the internet all night for that shirt- haha! I think it's out of existence! Thanks for offering to check for me when you go. I'll keep looking online. I think I've searched every possible combination on google.

I have no idea about the DP transportation issue We were supposed to enter through the IG, but I was worried about guests having to make their way there since most of ours won't have park tickets for that day, so we changed the meeting spot to the front turnstiles. Oh well, my grandmother just had heart surgery, so I think we can let her ride in the limo with us and that will be better for her too

 

[JaxTeach]

You're photos from MK and Epcot are wonderful. I love the People Mover pictures! Your wedding TR was excellent to read and gave me lots of tips for our wedding. I will definitely remember to bring a bottle of water and snack to our photo shoot in December!

Wow! We grew up pretty close to one another! If I hadn't have moved I would not have met my DH either! Now I just have to devise a plan to make him love Florida. Disney helps!!!

Be careful what you offer! We might show up! lol I'm always happy to help with extra food! Food is what I live for!!!
I think we should have a Disney bride annual reunion at the parks!!!

Tomorrow I will take some pics of the shirts I see and post them. I'll try to get the product number so if anyone sees one they want you can just call and order it. I'll probably make a trip to the outlet soon too! I was just there Friday! I should be banned from all Disney shopping since we just purchased yet another big fig!

The IG is a much easier walk than the front gate. I think I recall reading you are at the French Island? That would be a super short walk! My guests all met at the boardwalk and jumped on the boat. It's only a five minute ride to EPCOT. They had a wheelchair waiting for my grandfather but he didn't make it to the dessert party. I think the heat at the ceremony just wiped him out. I'm sure the champagne didn't help either!
If just you come later than your guests I think it would be cool to make an entrance!

 

[aprincess72]

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for reading my TR and all of your nice comments! I had a ton of fun writing it and it helped me through my post wedding planning stress disorder! Luckily I'm still working on my Disneymoom thread!
As soon as I get my high res cd from Disney I am going to post a few of my favs from the photo shoots. You know there will be a PeopleMover pic in my siggy!!!

We thought the same thing about the IG, however, it's getting to the IG that was the issue. We thought of a few options:
guests would take their resort bus to MGM and ride the boat (our coordinator said that was a bad idea )
guests not onsite would park at MGM and take the boat (same as the previous one )
guests would drive and park at the Beach Club (but they told us they weren't allowed)
guests would take their resort bus to DTD and then take the BC bus and walk (way too much switching around)


We know the walk from the front entrance will be longer, but I think getting to the starting point will be much easier (since most of our guests are not seasoned Disney goers, can you imagine! )



I can't wait to see pics of the shirts you see today! You can be like our own personal shopper!!!


I completely agree about the Disney Bride reunion! In fact, have you seen the meet we're planning for October here in Charleston. We haven't talked about it for a while, but I think we're still planning on it. Come join us

 

[AuroraBorealis]

You got some fantastic park shots! Love love love the PeopleMover and Epcot shots, especially! The Haunted Mansion shots were great too. You had a good photographer. These have totally inspired my future DFTW!

You and your DH are adorable! Congratulations!

But I thought we would get to enjoy the Disneyland trip too...

 

[figmentfan814]

I know I'm a little behind, but I wanted to say that your trip report is great! I have been looking for something different for a guestbook and I love the site you used; I'm definitely going to use them to get one for my wedding.

 

[Gina Loves Disney]

Great TR. Love the wedding date (my birthday). How freekin' cool is it that you go to get Peoplemover pics!?

 

[lajones81]

Fantastic TR! I love your wedding photos!

 

[Lynn5700]

I love your magic kingdom photo shoot pictures. You were beatiful.

I put it on a different thread! See my siggy for the link!

I really love the guest book! Everyone seemed to have a great time filling it out too! They recommend you use felt tip pens and I highly recommend you do that! I bought several packs of all different colors and it looks really cool!

Hi there!

Just want to say that I can't believe your TR is over.
Trip reports are a great way to re-live the moment and are sort of therapuetic

You looked beautiful and so happy on your day and your photos (even with your mom being silly ) were wonderful!!! I really think you made all future brides excited for their day.

Thank you!

 

[Iluffyou]

Thank you so much for posting your pictures. Everything looked wonderful. I love your signature bobble head picture. Makes me laugh every time. Great TR.

 

[stitchlet]

Absolutely love your TR - it looks & sounds like you and DH had a wonderful time! Thanks for sharing so much info & so many tips!

From your pictures it looks like you got the "Mickey-head" purse from Disney Floral . . . did you order it thru your WP or on your own directly? Also, were the Mickey's made out of pearls or crystals? I've looked at the picture in the Wishbook, but can't tell for sure.

TIA - I really want to get the purse, but I want to be sure what I'm ordering!
