Okay, so Rob asked me to share a few thoughts about the whole experience. But before I do, I want to send thanks to everyone here who have been so supportive and complimentary in their comments. It means a lot to both of us.
As you can no doubt tell, Rob is very detail oriented, and it's because of his tenacious planning skills that this happened at all. I'm the person who looks at the "Big Picture", and he's the one who handles the "Little Details". We really compliment each other very well, and we always looked at everything together. More often than not, I'd agree with his choices, but when I didn't we would discuss and make compromises when necessary. I love him, and I'm so lucky to have him in my life.
Everyone at Disney was so wonderful in taking care of us, but most especially Joe, our wedding coordinator, and Marion, our event planner. They always kept in contact with us and answered every question and concern we had promptly. They were awesome, especially considering that Disney is on a learning curve with same-sex weddings. I can only hope that Disney will learn from our and other's weddings and create more same-sex specific options and ideas.
The wedding itself was better than I could ever hope for. Sure, there were missteps along the way (*cough* wedding crashers *cough*), but generally they were small compared to everything else. I echo Rob's sentiments that I wish we had more time to spend talking with everyone, but hearing from more than one person that "that was the best wedding I've ever been to", more than made up for that. Our whole plan from the get-go was that this was to be a celebration of our union, and that our primary goal was to make sure everyone had fun. To that end, I think we succeeded.
As far as the cruise, we had a blast. There were a couple of things we could have done differently, but that's for the next cruise-and there will be another.
And of course, none of this would have happened if it were not for the fact that we have such wonderful friends and family. They were the reason for our little shindig, and they made everything worthwile.
Now, if we could only win the lottery and have real marriage rights in Florida, we could plan a really BIG bash!!
Oh, jeez, Rob fainted.
