Sorry I didnt see your questions sooner, I think Chris did 8 laps but the actual driving part didnt take very long. He loved it though!
And also sorry for the delay here ladies, I was in Florida again visiting my Grandma last week. It is her first time going to her condo in Florida alone since my Grandfather passed away so we have been trying to give her lots of visitors! The weather was beautiful and we had a really fun time. On to...
Wedding Day! Part One
Just wanted to mention that we don't have our CD of photos from Misty yet, so I will just be using my mother in law's photos for the wedding day for now here, but I have already posted the link to all of Misty's photos previously if you want to see those!
I actually slept really well the night before with my Mom and sister all in the king bed! We woke up around 8 am or so, and decided to skip our planned breakfast reservation at 1900 Park Fare and order room service instead. I showered while we waited for breakfast to arrive, and then ate some fruit off my room service plate. My nerves had kicked in a little bit this morning and I didn't want to eat very much. The weather was beautiful, in the 80's so I was happy about that! About 9 am the ladies from Carolyn Allens arrived at our suite to steam my dress, and then Laine and Rosie from Beaute Speciale arrived at 9:30 to get started on my Mom, sister, and I's hair and make-up. The three of us had our beauty services done in my room while the rest of the bridesmaids were in my parents condo getting theirs done at Bay Lake by 3 more of Beaute Speciale's ladies. It was nice and relaxing with just the three of us at first. By about noon, the rest of my bridesmaids arrived all beautified in their getting ready outfits I had gotten them to my room to finish getting ready and get dressed together. We ordered some more room service for everyone for lunch: club sandwiches, fruit and cheese, and champagne and bottled waters to give us some energy until the reception. I didnt feel like I could eat anything more before the ceremony though. Around noon, Misty arrived to start taking photos and it was quite a whirlwind from there! She took photos of all my accessiories, the girls, putting me in my dress, etc. and then she was off to take photos of the boys in the lobby. So we had about 15 minutes or so for touch ups and to relax before we started our pre-ceremony photos in the lobby. I was buzzing with excitement and for the first time so far a little bit of nerves too.
Meanwhile, Chris stayed overnight the night before with his father at Port Orleans and had breakfast with his parents at Olivia's Cafe around 9 am the morning of the wedding. Then he got dressed with his Dad and groomsmen at the Port Orleans New Orleans, and they were picked up in the limo from there at 12:30 to head to the Grand Floridian for pre-ceremony photos. We didn't see eachother before the ceremony so we each did photos with our attendants and families before hand inside and outside the Grand. Will start on that next post!
