A Disney Wedding

12/14/2016

Weddings are so exciting. Disney is magical. Smash the two together and you have an incredible experience! 

No, I did not get married at Disney. It actually did not even cross my mind. My wedding was a classic, über traditional church ceremony followed by a fabulous, country club reception. 

Both of my sisters got married in 2014. One eloped (smart girl, saved herself lots of stress and headaches). The other chose Disney as her venue. You may or may not know this, but we are Disney people. (I hope you know that.) 
So, why am I writing this more than two years later? 

I don't know. 

Honestly, I am surprised that I have never previously written about that weekend. I am shocked that I didn't share anything from it on the site. Sure, I wrote about the Resort. We stayed at the Grand Floridian. And it definitely lives up to its name. 

Better late than never? 

The Night Before...

Obviously we had to reherse the main event. It went smoothly. Dad figured out how to take the "perfect" photo... You suck in, lean forward and keep your head up. We nailed it!

This is not awkward at all.
Buddy's dream to ride a Disney Cruise Ship Bus came true. That was our chartered ride from the Grand Floridian to Epcot (we stopped at Port Orleans to pick up some straggly wedding guests). 

My sister planned a dessert party in Canada at Epcot. It was delicious. Then we were all escorted to a private spot to watch the fireworks. 

​Incredible!

The Big Day

This guy was SO cute! He took care of Steph's dress as we moved from place to place.
The wedding was in the Wedding Pavilion. 
Rea, my other sister and I met at the bride's room (she shacked up with my folks) in the morning. Disney photographers came to take pictures while Steph was getting ready. During this time, the boys were being photographed outside. 
Once the coast was clear, we left the room. It was time to take lots of pics in the lobby. This adorable footman came to carry Stephanie's dress.

One of the photogs thought it would be cute to have the kids "fight" over the ring box.

Buddy took his job very seriously. My dad tricked out this lunchbox... it even had a blinking light on it. He is handcuffed to it (hard to see in this pic). And he's rocking Stu's earpiece.

Let's Party!

My sister is a HUGE fan of Mickey waffles. So she planned her wedding around that. It was a morning shindig with delicious brunch after. We moved from the Wedding Pavilion to the Contemporary Resort. The reception was held in the California Grill.

I don't really need to go into much detail about the food. It was yummy.

​Jackie and I gave a great speech. We laughed so hard when we were planning it. And I am so happy that we were about to execute it.

This conspiratorial look should be proof enough...

Steph clearly LOVES us!

The wedding cake with Cinderella's castle in the background. I love this picture.

My brother-in-law loves to surf.

It's hard to top Mickey and Minnie helping you cut your cakes.

This photo perfectly sums up my dad.
We had such a wonderful time. It really was a magical day! I still can't believe that two years have passed already. 

The kids both loved dancing with Mickey and Minnie. They seemed to be a little overwhelmed at first. But they eventually got into it. (video below)

And, of course, we had to get our picture with Mr. and Mrs. Mouse.
