Pre Ceremony "The paparazzi"

We all piled into the limo and were on our way to the Boardwalk Inn Resort. We arrived in no time and were greeted by a  whole group of people! Amy, our wedding planner, was there along with Pastor Luther, my parents, and two special people that I was totally psyched to see!

While I was planning my wedding I use to frequent a Disney related forum and I made some AMAZING friends there. One of which was Claire. She happened to be in WDW at the same time as our wedding. I saw here at the entrance to the Boardwalk Inn and I went running over to her!

Claire is from the UK and also a past Disney Bride. I swear that being a Disney bride is almost like joining a sisterhood or a club. If you talk to any Disney brides from the past they'll tell you all the same thing. It was really cool to meet Claire and her husband. I'm so glad they took time out of their vacation to see us!

After talking with Claire briefly we went into the lobby to have everyone sign the marriage license. The whole time we were there the Cast members in the lobby were stopping to say hello, or to compliment my dress. I honestly couldn't stop smiling! We headed outside to take some pictures on the balcony over looking the water.

This is another favorite of mine

Then it was time to start heading over to Sea Breeze Point.

I almost fell down the stairs twice... Future brides I have one word of advice, either take your shoes off and go barefoot down stairs or have your groom carry you!
Photobucket
Yay I made it down the stairs!

Another word of advice to future brides... be careful of your heels getting stuck inbetween the boards of the boardwalk.

Everyone on the Boardwalk kept yelling congrats to us! (seriously the amount of attention you get is crazy!)

Love this reflection picture!

We finally arrived at Sea Breeze point. Amy took the boys and got them set up.

I could hear the Violinist tuning the violin and I started to get really nervous.

(yea, I don't look completely horrified right now or anything lol)
Randy noticed I was getting freaked out so he said something here to get my laughing (I forget what he said exactly) and snapped this picture, which I love!

Amy came back after setting up the boys and told us that once the Violinist started playing "belle notte" (from Lady and the Tramp) that Jacqui and Tori would start walking down the aisle. Once they were set up at the alter the violinist would start playing Cannon in D and my mom, dad, and I were to start walking down the aisle.

This concludes the "Pre Ceremony" coverage. I'm going to leave you with a teaser picture for tomorrows installment where we begin "ceremony" coverage.

  2. Why thank you! Yes it totally is a sisterhood of sorts. I met another former Disney bride while we were there on our honeymoon and it was very cool to chat with her too. I met a few Disney brides that I keep in contact with daily and I'm so happy to have shared this experience with them :)

  3. As a fellow SBP bride I can totally attest to getting my heals stuck in the boards...luckily I managed to not get stuck until after the ceremony and didn't land on my face. We should totally come up with a sorority type name for us Disney brides!
