Eric and Amanda's Wedding TR Italy/WP/Cons. Station SLIDESHOW POSTED PG13

[MainStMandy]

Afterwards we asked that everyone remain seated so we could do some group shots. I don't have most of those back yet but I will leave you with a few more before we head to the reception!

These are all taken by my Dad.

Haha I realized after I posted this one that my dad is IN IT, so he couldn't have taken it!! He actually gave his camera to one of my best friends during the ceremony to take a few pics!

Awww isn't he cute?

This totally cracks me up!

My beautiful Mommy again

My new MIL

I love that you are keeping this up today....it gives me a good break from all my writing (scholarly, not disboard related unfortunately...for the most part).

I love your pics so much! That is awesome you have so many good ones, and don't even have the pro ones back yet!

We are doing almost the exact thing you did with the box and notes. I think I got the wording from links that were posted in the thread you started (except we are actually using wine..cause we are major winos ). I think it is such a great idea...especially since it is like writing new vows every year!

Another update with tons of pictures!!

I love the petals and runner. What is the runner made out of? Did Disney provide it?

I love love love this picture -

Aww...I walked down the aisle to When You Wish Upon a Star also. Good memories.

The end of your cermeony was the toast our officiant gave at our cake cutting. I was tearing up remembering.

Thanks for sharing your day with us. Everyone looks so happy, and you can see how much you and Eric care for one another. I can't wait to hear all about your reception :

I had a lull at work...I'm working on a huge project but waiting on someone else at the moment. Tomorrow will be very busy!!

I loved the love letter part of our ceremony. The funny thing is our Best Man had the letters and my brother said, please place the letters in the box. Well he went to do just that, and my brother said, "How about you let them do that?" Lol

Another update with tons of pictures!!

I love the petals and runner. What is the runner made out of? Did Disney provide it?

I love love love this picture -

Thank you!!!

The runner is "paper" kinda like an expensive napkin, lol. It was way cheaper than the cloth one and we only used it for like 25 minutes.

Aww...I walked down the aisle to When You Wish Upon a Star also. Good memories.

Thanks! I'm glad everyone is enjoying it

Nice smooch!!!!!!!!!!! Love how he pulled you in close. Awwww.

Lol I remember us kind of looking at each other and not knowing exactly what to do...so he just pulled me close and kissed me!! There are two things I distinctly remember...the ring exchange and the first kiss!

 

[HeatherNJNC]

Amanda, you looked gorgeous!!! And I love the way your flowers turned out, they look amazing in pictures!

 

[Carys]

You so made the right choice to stick with the ordered flowers for your bouquet - I think the varied colours make the bouquet "pop" even more, and give depth to the arrangement. I also love the picture of you two together on the dock in the sunlight

 

[Stefy]

Aww what a beautiful ceremony and you make a stunning bride

 

[disneychickforever]

I love the ceremony! It's simply wonderful! And you were gorgeous :.

I can't wait to read about your wicked reception! I bet it'd be awesome!

I didn't want plain roses...they are pretty, but I really had my heart set on the peonies, even if they ended up being different colors. I'm SO glad I made the right choice! I agree with you, they have a certain depth to them.

Aww what a beautiful ceremony and you make a stunning bride

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much!!I really enjoyed writing the ceremony and it was just perfect!!

We just got our engagement pictures from Roots!!! We haven't ordered any yet, so I can't share, but I love them

Up next...on to the reception!

 

[MainStMandy]

So After our group shot, Eric and I headed outside to do a few more photos with Roots while our guests lined up for the staged exit. It was nice to have a few moments to ourselves. It was finally time to leave and we made our way across the bridge while our guests tossed bright pink petals (no pics yet)

We hoped in the Limo which made circles around the parking lot while our guests got settled into the motor coach. After they left, we took some more pictures inside the wedding pavilion and then at the Grand Floridian

Meanwhile...

Our guests then arrived at Conservation Station!

When they first entered there was table for them to sign our Guest Poster. I did something similar to a Quaker Marriage Certificate.

Here is what it looked like (created in Zazzle)

The only problem I had with it, was I created one line for each person attending...not anticipating everyone would sign as families and leave lots of blank lines!

We had an antipasto display for our cocktail hour, plus open bar:

Cake Table

We chose a Green Moss Linen with copper napkins and Morrocan Lanterns as our centerpieces:

We had these made from an Etsy Seller and the knife/serving set matched

The space was a lot of fun, the kids were busy ALL night with all the activities!

Love Grammy!

 

[disneychickforever]

that looks like such a fun place! Awesome!

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

The reception venue is amazing I love all the decor so much! And the champagne flutes...LOVE THEM! I am super jealous of your cake too...animal prints and pink are two of my fav things!

 

[MainStMandy]

After getting lost we finally arrived. We had a moment to have a drink before being announced. We entered in to the reception to Welcome to the Jungel (Guns N' Roses) Unfortunately Eric and I couldn't hear the music but I guess everyone else did.

I love this shot...We didn't know Lauren was photographing us and we were winking at each other

My new family enjoying some kind of rum punch...it was AWESOME!

Our sweetheart table

Too many choices...the food was so yummy!!

After some mingeling, it was time for our first dance.
I think my favorite thing about these pictures, is the giant Gorilla in the background

Speaking of animals on the walls...our guests got quite the kick out of them!

Next up was Mommy/Son dance...I made the mistake of touching the IPOD during this and the song started over It wasn't a big deal since this dance didn't last too long...both felt a little uncomfortable...

They had fun though!

Next up was me and my Daddy!

After the little IPOD mix up, Daddy decided to have a little fun with my brother... see the remote in his hand?

We managed to stop and start the song twice before my brother caught on!!

I then suprised my Mom with a Mother/Daughter dance!

We were just dancing and singing away! (Carole King...Where You Lead)

Next up...a few suprise visitors!

 

[MainStMandy]

that looks like such a fun place! Awesome!

It was suprisingly a lot o fun!

The reception venue is amazing I love all the decor so much! And the champagne flutes...LOVE THEM! I am super jealous of your cake too...animal prints and pink are two of my fav things!

OMG I am so in love with our cake. It turned out exactly how I pictured it!!!
