You looked sooo gorgeous! I loved your hair and makeup on your wedding day it looked so great with your dress!

 

[aduck126]

thanks for all the nice comments everyone! since the wedding everything has been pretty quiet. I was wondering how long it takes for your pics to show up online. It has been almost 3 weeks and we have not heard anything and I am real anxious to see the professional ones.

dessert party

OMG!!!! i never even told you guys that Jon and I were asked to be in the Magic Kingdom parade as well!!!! We went up to pin trade with a cast member and he was like "you guys seem like fun people, do you want to be in the parade???" we were dumb founded! it was the most amazing expirience ever, all these people taking your picture and waving at you was incredible. the view from the car parade float was awesome with main street completely cleared and all these people crouding on the side walk to see YOU. It is something I will never forget. Here is the pic of us in the car right before the doors opened and the parade began.

it was also weird going back stage and seeing all the characters like Pluto, goofy, ect. half dressed and just walking around with their heads off,

here are a couple more of my favs from the honeymoon.

Oh my god, Amanda, you were such a beautiful bride!!!! So gorgeous. And I LOVE the short hair. It totally suits you. I normally hate short hair, but it looks so stylish on you. Great choice! I bet it's such a relief not to have all that hair. I think I want to do the great post-wedding cut, but I'm so nervous! Yours gives me great hope,

you should totally cut your hair off after the wedding!!! i loved my short hair so much that as soon as we got back i even went shorter, it is like halle berry length now and it is amazing. it is so much easier to deal with, completely worth it.

LOVE your hair. Last year I cut off all my hair too (it was about as long as yours, now it's at or above my chin) and I'm now a huge fan of short hair. It's so much easier to deal with

You two look liked you had such a great time, for both wedding and honeymoon! I really love your wedding hair and makeup, and I also really love the cut. I guess your one of the lucky ones that can pull anything off

That is so awesome that you got to be in the parade!!! I really want to go backstage, for some reason I just NEED to know what the people under the costumes look like

I love the pic of you two with the "Up" crew, I am super jealous!

thank you

it was weird seeing teh characters not dressed and then watching them in the parade after we got off our float it just felt like i was cheating some how haha, if that makes sense.

Dug from Up pretended to lick my hand it was awesome. I like the pic because me and Mr. Fredrickson have the same glasses and hair style.

Your wedding looks like it was beautiful and so much fun! This might be a silly question but where did you get you photo taken with Princess Tiana and the Up Characters?

 

[tinkerbell 766]

What a beautiful wedding!! Congratulations!! Can I ask where you got the awesome gift bag in one of the pictures, with Cindy's coach on it? If you made it, would you be kind enough to send me the grafic?
Thanks so much!!!

the princess tiana pictures were in this tiny area right next to the castle in a gazebo. I want to say it is against the castle right by the Liberty square area. they have a designated spot set up just for Tiana. The Up characters are in Hollywood Studios. They are in the history of animation area, i think that is what the ride is called. It is over by the little mermaid in that area.

Thanks so much!!!

the gift bag was given to me by my wedding consultant. It had info in it about preserving teh flowers and our special watches from Disney.

 

[aduck126]

i am still waiting on my wedding website for my pictures to come up. They told us that it would be a week and it has been almost a month! ugh, i am so impatient!

 

[aduck126]

So instead of buying a bunch of t shirt and novelty pens this trip because it was our wedding we decided on buying one huge gift for each other in Disney. We decided on getting the Thomas Kinkade painting entitled "A new day at Cinderella's Castle". The lady told us that there are only 2 copies left in the world available to buy and they are here at Disney World. So we bought one of them! We just got it today from UPS, and let me tell you it is much bigger in our house than it was in the store. It is the biggest one that they made 30x40. But it is so beautiful. We are turning our entryway into a Disney themed escape area

Here is it hanging. and my crappy macbook pics do not do it justice

I love it!

Granted, Jon had to sit down and take a breather after purchasing it, I dont think he ever expected to pay over 1000.00 on a piece of art!
Yes, it is not the most useful purchase but it is something extra special that we will have for the rest of our lives and remember our amazing Disney Fairy tale wedding every time we glance at it.

 

[DisneyShamrock]

That is a gorgeous painting! It looks wonderful above the shelf and right at home. I think it was a very worth-it purchase to always remember you got it when you got married. =]

 

[pezaddict231]

All the new pictures you posted are great and I really love your wedding hair and make-up. I think you really resemble Anne Hathaway, she could be your FB doppleganger .

How great that you got to meet so many characters. I think seeing them half out of costume would have ruined a little bit of the magic for me too.

I'm so jealous you got pics with the UP characters! We waited over an hour and the line wasn't moving at all so we gave up. I hadn't seen the movie yet but when I did I was even sadder we didn't wait it out.

Ooh I'll have to look for Tiana and Naveen!

Wow, I absolutely LOVE that Thomas Kinkade painting and I'm sure it looks just amazing in your house! What a great idea! I always love to go into the Art of Disney store and drool over all the beautiful art. My favorite are the Wyland paintings with Disney characters... one day I'll have to get one! I think DF wants the big flatscreen TV first though.

okay so i haven't figured out how to seperate the quotes so i'm going to space out my responces and hopefully they will make sense

1. thank you, I get anne hathaway almost everyday! i actually had her publisist or someone who works with her stop me at the Land Rover Dealership when I was getting my car fixed and was like "Oh my god! you look just like Anne Hathaway, and I should know because I work with her everyday!" that was kind of cool. Too bad I dont have her money!

2. i'm sorry that you didn't get to meet the UP guys We actually met them twice becasue the first time Mr. Fredrickson wasn't there. So we had to get him in the pic. Both times the wait was like 10-15 minutes. Not too bad. Princess Tiana and Naveen (thank you by the way for that, i had no idea what his name was, because really who cares about the Princes ) they were a different story the line was INSANE for them. We were lucky and caught them right away and only waited like 20 minutes.

3. I got the painting by covering all my bases and buying the DH a huge flatscreen tv for christmas it is all about planning ahead

Be for-warned this is a small rant about wedding guests....

So my mom's side of the family is really making me angry, even post wedding. At the wedding it all started at Ohana, we informed everyone that jon and I will be buying wine for the table at dinner but cocktail drinks will be paid for by the guests if they choose to order one. So a couple of strangers at the bar were nice enough to buy Jon a beer and me my Lapu Lapu. (these were the only people that bought us a drink the whole day--complete strangers). So my aunt sees my Lapu Lapu and says "Go get me one of those." all rude like, not even a please. Uhm, excuse me it is MY wedding, I dont think so. So I just ignore her she then sits at teh table complaining the whole time to my moms family how rude jon and I are because we didn't pay for their drink. So she goes up and orders cocktails for her my grandparents, and my other aunt. The total came to 60.00. Tired of her complaining the whole dinner my dad finally went and paid for their drinks just to get them to shut up. (my dad that has been out of work for 2 years!). I was so angry. In the meantime after dinner we ended up throwing away 4 full bottles of wine so its not like we were cheap with it or anything, there was plenty.

Then my aunt and her daughter and my grandparents all skip out of the dessert party! This made me soooo mad I pre paid for these people to go and they just dont show up with no excuse, one minute they were like see you there, then they just went back to their hotels. how could you do that???

My next complaint is that they wrote a check from all 6 of tehm for 500.00. We were in Disney for 2 weeks after our wedding and the day after my mom got a call from her sister (my aunt) telling her not to cash the check until the end of the week, my mom was like well they dont get back until the 26th so it should not be a problem. So she never told me. I get a call on the 26th saying not to cash the check that they are sending another one. Well I know them and I know they are NOT sending another one they are just trying to get out of giving me my wedding gift because this is what they do for everything. So I wait 4 days, ample time for the "new" check to arrive. I get NOTHING, so I cashed it. Now my aunt is not speaking to my mother and demanding that she pay her 300.00 because that is what she was charged for bouncing checks. And I don't feel bad at all... am I wrong here????

I just have to say right off that if this were my family, I wouldn't feel bad either.

They knew ahead of time the drinks were on themselves if they wanted them, so there was no reason they should've assumed you would get them. Any respectable wedding guest will remember this and follow. People who complain that much should be locked away in a dark cave. =]

As for the check, you had every right to cash it on the day they originally asked you to wait for. At that point, it's their responsibility to have the money in the account. It's a gift, and they know this. They also picked the day. Your mom also should have no responsibility what so ever for the fees your aunt got for being a/an [insert word of choice here] and not having the money in the account. It's completely your aunt's fault that fees happened.

You have no reason to feel bad at all. I wouldn't either after all of that.
