Awesome update mandy! What did you you think of the desserts at the dessert party? (you had the same menu were planning )

 

[Jazzylolo]

I'm loving reading your TR even though I was there LOL!

 

[MainStMandy]

Lauren's pictures are so good..I want her camera!!

and I want that chocolate whipped cream thing please!

It wasn't as good as it looked! I knew the Tiramisu usually came in a big bowl and I specifically asked for individual servings...oh well!!

the rehearsal dinner and dp looked awesome! And what great pics you got of everything! The food looked so good! Looking forward to hearing more.

Thanks!!

Awesome update mandy! What did you you think of the desserts at the dessert party? (you had the same menu were planning )

Overall the desserts were pretty good. The linzer diamonds...people either loved them or hated them. I would have preferred the tiramisu to be individual and it wasn't really tiramisu but it was good. The bread pudding would have been wonderful had it had some kind of sauce. Overall it was really good though!

I'm loving reading your TR even though I was there LOL!

Feel free to contribute anything I haven't already stole from you

Oh hey wow your wedding has been and gone?? Just found your trip report Congratulations Mrs Mandy!

I'm loving the photos, especially the one of you and your grandma laughing together, and the food at your dessert party looks scrumptious It's great to see everyone looking so happy not just in the posed shots but in all the candids too, I can tell you all had a great time. Your blue floral dress looked perfect with the blue shoes, I'm glad they worked out. Can't wait for the next installment!

Lol yes come and gone...so sad too! I really did have a great time...everyone was so much fun but it all went by too quickly!!

I was going to wait for the next part...but Lauren just uploaded more wedding day pics so I'm ready to go!!!

 

[MainStMandy]

So Yay for Lauren uploading pictures!!! I didn't have too many getting ready pictures...or so I thought. I'll try to label them as I go...some are my Dad's and some are Lauren's.

Wednesday morning started fairly early. We had ADR's for breakfast at 8:15. Mom, Lauren and I all had t-shirts made...unfortunately it was cold and we all ended up with sweatshirts on over them. We also didn't get a picture of all of us, but they made for great conversations from CM's!

Breakfast was to DIE for!! Here is what Mom and I split

It was a stuffed croissant. YUM!!! I really love the GF Cafe...Eric and I went back later in the week and may have just had the best meal ever!

After breakfast, we walked over to the GF Spa for our manicures

Yay for pampering!

Even Grammy had a good time!! We all just got a coat of polish...but not Grammy! She had a french manicure! When the CM brought her back into the lounge, she announced..."Tell them what you did to my back!!" Apparently she loved the massaging chairs!!

We then headed back to the room so Mom and I could shower. Beaute Speciale was going to be there soon.

Lauren kept herself busy by taking some pictures of my dress

I insisted on getting a picture of my something blue!

Hopefully Lauren doesn't kill me for these... Beaute Speciale arrived and we were ready to get started. I don't remember the girls names, one was Kerry...Lauren was getting her hair done and I was getting my makeup done

My veil had a few wrinkles and after my Mom tried to iron them out, I took it outside with some wrinkle release spray!

Roots showed up just after our makeup was done and mom helpd me into my dress. Since my mom doesn't post on the Dis, I'm not afraid of showing her in her PJ's!!

My baby brother stopped by while we were getting ready:

Call it wedding brain if you will, but all of a sudden there was a knock at the door. I couldn't figure out who it could be...until someone said, Maybe it's the flowers??

 

[MainStMandy]

The florist had called me the day before to let me know that the peonies had come in a bright fuschia (like I wanted) but when they opened up they were pale pink. Did I want just a rose bouquet in fuschia or a mix of colors of pinks with the peonies. I opted to keep the peonies and am so glad I did!!!

Lauren's bouquet came out wonderful too!!

We were all dressed and no where to go! Yet...

Check out Dad's tie!

It was time for me to go meet Eric!! We had opted for a first look so Roots and I headed downstairs. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of that yet, but here are a few Roots took before Eric showed up:

And here are some after our first look:

It was time for me to go...next time I would see Eric would be when I walked down the aisle. I headed back to my parents room while Eric and his family did some potraits. At 4 p.m. they got in the limo and headed off to the Wedding Pavilion. It was time for family portraits with my family.

Roots told Lauren and I to do something girly...apparently all we could think of was swordfighting with our bouquets

Which seemed like a good idea until one of Lauren's flowers fell off Just a tiny one...no big deal.

That's better...

My family

 

[MainStMandy]

Roots took me outside for some more shots of just me

I don't do serious well...

It was finally time to head to the ceremony!

Deep breaths....

We are here!

We had some guests in the restroom so I waited until they were inside before getting out of the limo:

Up next...the Ceremony!!

Thank you!! I am trying to figure out when I can wear my dress again, lol. Eric and I talked about going back for our 1st anniversary and doing the MK shoot like we wanted.

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

Your dress and bouquet are so gorgeous! I love peonies so much, and I REALLY love your dress. It is so feminine, and so perfect for the WP. I love the one pic of you in the lobby, where you can just see all the other guests starring. I cannot wait to be in the spotlight like that!

Aww thank you!! My dress was so much fun!! After our first look, Eric said he could hear me coming up behind him. The dress made this fun swooshing noise!!!

And Eric's favorite thing was walking through the Grand Floridian, just the two of us and everyone was pointing and talking about us. One little boy shouted out during some photos, ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED TODAY?!?!

 

[Nitsa]

I say do it! That would be such a cool way to spend your anniversary

 

[PeytonSdiz]

Catching up!

I just adore your dress, sweater, and shoes at the rehearsal! I love Lauren's outfit at rehearsal too.

The photo of you and your grandma laughing is wonderful.

You and your mom look a lot alike. So cute!!

Is Eric getting ready to kiss your forehead in the photo with the Disney stock? You guys are so cute together.

All of the dessert looks really good. Now I'm hungry for tirimisu. What was in the second and third close-up photos?

In the getting ready photos, why is the makeup lady writing or something on your back?

The flowers turned out lovely.

I loved my wedding dress too! I wish I could have worn it again. But that never would have happened as I gained too much weight in the first year of marriage. (Oops!)

We did some outside photos after our wedding and people driving by shouted congratulations. It was fun.
