I know everyone is saying this, but your ceremony was AMAZING. The flowers were breathtaking!
I cannot wait to see the reception, I can only imagine how beautiful it is going to be!

And, your bridal party looks like so much fun--I love the picture of you guys with all of them.

Christina,

I spent the last 2 days reading about your wedding! How amazing! I posted at the beginning like a year ago...I went to Flanagan, too! Just wanted to say that your wedding looked great, I love all of your choices (favors, food, everything!) Can't wait to read about the reception!

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!!! I don't know where to even start! I don't think I have ever seen the Wedding Pavillion so gorgeous before!!! I love, love, love the pics of you and your honey with the doors closing and the gates to the pavillion closing in front of you. My favorite is the one of you two grabbing a quick smooch from the back of the coach! It all looks so magical...and you know I can't wait to see more right???
Oh, and by the way, I got to eat a whole two bites of my food as well. All that planning and tasting and I actually ate more when we did the tasting!

Small Update of cocktail hour
6:30-8:00​

I forgot to post these pics... Some of my favs from Mr. Chapman

So as we finished taking pics with our little flowergirl, Michelle took us to the recpetion hall to look at the cake for the first time... I was in AWWWWE the cake was so beautiful and tasted GREAT

We got the first glimpse of the tables all set up and were able to speak to the band...

If you are having a band choose DeLeon Entertainment they are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[princess&her4princes]

More BEAUTIFUL pics!!!!!!! The room was just gorgeous, the cake looked so perfect!!! What an absolutely beautiful wedding.....from the bride and groom to the room.....and I love the pic of you guys in the carriage kissing....soo pretty!!!!

 

[figmentfan814]

The shot from the back of the carriage is so cute! I love all the detail and beautiful accents at the reception; the centerpieces and linens are so pretty. Are the menu cards in the same style as the table numbers? Is that a Mickey light projected on the dance floor?

 

[DisneyFairy19]

Everyone was enjoying themselves at the cocktail hour
we had a fruit and cheese display, along with some other appetozers and I forgot what we had, but everyone kept RAVING about how good cocktail hour was

The String Trio was playing in the Whitehall room, everyone kept telling me how great they were...

So after we spoke with the band we headed to the waiting room anf Michelle brought us food to enjoy... We were STARVING...

The entire wedding party joined us

Then about 8:10 Michelle called the wedding party to start lining up b/c they were going to be introduced

The major domo introduced everyone

When he introduced EVERYONE... The doors closed and he said a speech
that went like this

Ladies and Gentleman
I am here today to tell you that dreams really do come true

When Christina was 10 years old
She stood here at Grand Floridan
and told her mother and father that one day she wanted to get married
right here at this hotel.

Well her mother and father didnt think to much of it at the time

They also didnt expect anything to happen later much later when Christina first started dating Geancarlo at the age of 17

Now 16 years since that young girls wish was placed
Her fairytale dream comes true

Now I have the pleasrure of introducing to you for the very first time
Our honorary Cinderella and Prince Charming

Ladies and Gentlemen please stand for our fairytale couple
Mr. and Mrs. Geancarlo ____________​

Everyone screamed at roared... The band played A dream is a wish your heart makes, but with a carousel touch to it... It was PERFECT

 

[DisneyFairy19]

The guests cheered us for a good minute.. I mean 10 years together they all thought its about time...LOL

He then said that he was sorry to leave but the queen called him back to the castle... LOL... He wished us a happily ever after and a wonderful reception ever... and then he Yelled 'The Dance floor is YOUUUUUUUUUURRRRS'

LOL... Everyone clapped and the band started playing 'LoveSong' by 311

If you have heard of the song its BEAUTIFUL, but the band played it SOOOO much better... They did a GREAT job

We clapped in the end, b/c the song was so GREAT

and now it was time to dance with my dad... ITs funny, I didnt cry with my husband but dancing with my dad on my wedding day was so emotional... I guess since I was little I always heard my dad say "I am going to be a wreck the day she gets married"

My sister and I are truly daddys girls and ver since I can remeber my dad use to sing "I've got you under my skin" so I thought thats the song, but when I heard "Daddy's Little Girl" by Al MArtino - it just was a song written about me and my dad...

About 5 seconds into the song we both started to cry

He is such a great dad...

After our dance, Geancarlo danced with his mom to "what a wonderful world"
She started to cry dancing with her son

After the dances it was now time for the Best MAn and Maid of Honour speech... I am going to see if I can get it onto a video b/c the best man speech was so hilarious that til this day people come over to the house to see it, and my sister had an emotional speech that left the guests crying...

The band announced the BM and MOH and then the song "Im bringing Sexy Back" by Justin Timberlake started playing and Renzo and ALexis started dancing their way to the dance floorand the guests were laughing and clapping

Coming up next the BM and MOH speech- Stay tuned

 

[Lynn5700]

OMG girl!! What a great update! I got chills reading your entrance speech!! SOOO cute!!

 

[tinkgurl]

Aw..your reception looks beautiful! I got goosebumps reading your entrance speech! Aw..you and your daddy and him and his mommy. So cute. Haha, hilarious song for MOH and BM. Definately sounds like it was a great time!

 

[anewmac]

Oh the food looked yummy!

Seeing you and your dad dancing and crying had me in tears.

 

[DisneyBrideToni]

Aww twin the pictures with you and your daddy were so sweet. I know how you feel about the song Daddy's Little Girl. Ever since I heard that song when I was little I knew I wanted to dance with my dad to it at my wedding. It's such a sweet song.

Oh and I have another thing to add to our list. At our New Jersey reception, our maid of honor and best man walked in to I'm Bringing Sexy Back.

 

[CoP Luv]

Everything looked so beautiful!

 

[pink_tink8i8]
