Yesterday was so much fun. And it looked almost exactly as I'd pictured it - the colours were so pretty in the sun (I cannot even begin to tell you how thankful I am that it didn't rain!).
The weather forecast was HOT, HOT, Hot. I think it said somewhere in the 90s. Ouch! Sorry to everyone that had to sit on those seats waiting for the ceremony!
The morning started well - I woke up about 7am and started to get everything ready making sure everything was in the right bag heading to the right location. The hair and make up lady came around 11.45am and Felicity, Tasha, Amy and Kate were all getting ready in mum's villa too.
Disaster struck (I'm being dramatic - a little hiccup) at 1pm. The 36 inch balloons I'd spent so much time researching, buying and subsequently making accessories for were too big to fit in the minibus. I have no idea how big they were but mum said she couldn't hold anymore than four without starting to lift off the ground!
Thankfully, Party City had kindly given mum and dad some small white helium balloons - they were going to be nothing like the beautiful Geronimo balloons I had imagined, but they were better than nothing. Although most of my streamers and tassels that I had spent hours making were too heavy for the helium so I had to settle for a bit of tulle on each one.
We left for Cypress Grove at 1.45pm (I hadn't had anything to eat and was starving, so had a tube of Pringles with me!). I knew there wouldn't be much time between us arriving and the school bus so we had to run to get all the centre pieces inside. We made it, but Dan said he saw me!
We had the bridal suite upstairs and the photographer and videographer came in to capture us getting ready as everyone started to take their seats on the lawn.
It looked so pretty out.
And then it was time to go. Tori - our lovely wedding coordinator - let us each know when to walk out with Amy and Conor walking first followed by Kate, Tasha, Felicity and finally me and Dad.
That was it. We were married under the gazebo by the lake. The next hour and a half or so was spent taking photos around the grounds. I can't wait to see them!
We then headed to Bahama Breeze - the food was great and the service was excellent. They managed to get all 36 of us seated, fed two courses and out of there in under an hour and a half. I was very impressed.
Our final stop of the day was Epcot for our own private Dessert Party on the UK Terrace. It was a great way to end the day.
Today we're enjoying being alone again! We've been shopping all morning and now we're enjoying a drink in Winter Park (it is VERY hot out again today) before we head back this evening for the farewell party.
