Vanessa great installment! That is hysterical about the drive thru! It sounds like something I think my DF is going to do but his choice would be Taco Bell! Can you imagine?!?!?
The MK shoot was a lot of fun, I only have one day in between to talk about and we went to CRT that evening for dinner, so stay tuned.The girls at McDonald's Glad you had a wonderful day, can't wait to hear more and about the MK shoot.
Hey, there's one of those in the Crossings too, so I guess you would be in luckVanessa great installment! That is hysterical about the drive thru! It sounds like something I think my DF is going to do but his choice would be Taco Bell! Can you imagine?!?!?
I guess then that's a tradition you need to continue. I only wish that we still had our limo at that time of night instead of being stuck in our rental carWow that's a long day! I'm sure your adrenaline got you through it.
Great update! That's so something I would do, going through McD's drive thru! I did that after the prom my senior year of HS in a limo!
I think I was just looking for an excuse to keep the wedding day going Thankfully, no one was too grumpy after getting woken up, but I know my matron of honor had been waiting around for us, so I'm glad she wasn't too upset The McDonald's trip will definitely go down as a family story for years to comeOh my. I don't think I would have been as good natured as you trudging all over the place to get the license signed!
Nor as good natured as they to have to wake up to do it!
But McDonald's is a place I must give myself an excuse to go to, and your excuse was the best ever!
Thank you!I just want to say that you are the most gracious and good-humored bride I can possibly imagine!
oh...and also, we are planning on having our DP at lower UK. I think I will freak if I have to trudge thru a turnstile in my dress! Definitely going to talk to the planner about that one.
You mentioned Kid in You isn't a DP option anymore.
There is one called "You're a Kid at Heart" but it isn't like yours.
I think the closest to yours is now called Desserts Created by You.
I'll definitely keep in touch; it would be fun to do a MidWest meetup, maybe we could even get some other brides in on the fun too I totally forgot that you were going to be gone at Disney of all places; I'm so jealousVanessa,
Geez woman! I go to see the mouse for a week and when I get back your done with your wedding! I'm so sad that it's almost over, but happy at the same time to see it all. On a side note, we will have to continue to PM each other after your trippie is over...I would love to meet up with you and Kris in MI sometime for a weekend or something!
I loved this installment from the fireworks pictures right down to the candids from other peoples' cameras. Kris is such a sweetheart. Your suprise was beautiful and so thoughtful to boot. The fact that he tried so hard to get it there made it that much better too! I love that he tried to have the plate of chocolate covered strawberries and champagne sent up to your room for the night too. Brad wanted to do that, but we were so exhausted that it would have been a waste. We did get roomservice however a bit after midnight. I got french onion soup and he got a burger...they stay open all night at the GF. Believe me...we were very grateful for that one.
Can't wait to see the rest!

Thank you so much for all your wonderful words The concierge level was amazing!Vanessa-- What a wonderful installment. And you looked absolutely beautiful that entire day! Where do you find the energy? It was so much fun to see all the pictures. Wow, the concierge lounge looks incredible. I LOVE the GF pix. I can't believe we are finally going to get to stay there.
BTW, where did you find the brown Happily Ever After hoodie? I NEED that!!! LOL.
More! More!
Hi Linda,Great installment - I love those shirts you had on. Where did you get them - or did you make them. Especially the great brown sweatshirt with the carriage on the front and the writing down the arm.
Looking forward to reading more.
Linda
Love the installment
Thanks so much for keeping up on the report; it's great to see everyone's commentsI love that shirt also!
It sounds like you had a great day!
We used it a lot just because we wouldn't have the opportunity again. I think if we had been visiting other parks besides the MK it might have been more difficult to utilize everything. The breakfast was fantastic and the evening desserts after 7 or 8 pm worked well to for coming back from the park. The concierge services are also great if you need help getting tickets or reservations because they will handle everything for you. I would say it would probably depend on the price difference. It is definitely a once in a lifetime experience, so it would be worthwhile to at least indulge for a couple of daysVanessa that is a great installment!! I love the pics of the lounge at the GF! DF and I are trying to decide whether to upgrade to it or not. Did you think it was worth it for the money? Did you use it a lot?
I was a little worried about trudging everyone up to our room, but thankfully it worked out just fine It was nice to have the little extra time to share it with them. Of course, we were there for 2 nights too which helped out.Vanessa,
Your first day of coupledom looked like great fun. I'm glad you got to share your room with everyone. I'm sure my family would have loved to see our room, but we never got the chance to show them.
I too adore the brown sweatshirt. You must share with you adoring fans where we can find them so we can look just like you
I'll be waiting patiently for the next day...oh yes and I'll be waiting patiently for our midwest meet up

It really was so nice to have the dinner in the castle with just the two of us. The setting is so romantic!Wow Vanessa, I can't believe I missed a couple updates! It sounds like you had an amazing first day of married life! And to have dinner in the castle that evening, WOW!!! Looks really nice. Can't wait to 'see' more!
The possibilities are endless; it really was such a fun week. I only wish we had more time there. I would have loved to included a dinner at the Yachtsman or something like that too for the two of us. We had also wanted to do a segway tour or carriage ride, but just didn't have the time. It's on our agenda for our 1st anniversary trip.I'm so glad you took lots of photos! It's helping me do my research for what I want to do the week Kev and I are in the World for our wedding.
