Hi everyone! We are baaaaack. Sorry for no updates after my last post. It was a busy holiday and lots to do leading up to a wonderful wedding!! We had amazing weather clear and sunny and mid 60's!!! Sunday brought the rain, though we where on a plane to Disney where it was sunny and 70. So we didnt care.
@FriendsOfEeyore Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts. I hope Arnold will see some positive results going forward.
@garneska So happy to hear Mal is back on the mend. She has been through so much, she is blessed to have the love and care you two provide.
I have such a beautiful wife, and I will proudly admit many tears of joy where gushing from me as her father walked her down the aisle to me.
Our wedding was a fusion of Disney and Christmas. We love the joy and feelings of giving and generosity this time of year. The time to remember to continue being a little kinder, a little nicer, a little more patient. Of time spent with those you love the most and share traditions. Because that's what makes us special and family, its our traditions.
Our venue was gorgeous. Most of the decorations where already there and we only needed our florist to enhance the beauty in addition to the bouquets and boutonnieres. Working together to design something special for guests, I built something special to display our wedding favors which where Christmas ornaments for our guests. Everyone loved the idea and the display. We loved the intimate nature of this gorgeous mansion and so did our guests.
The night seemed to fly by, yet we got to talk to so many people and have an amazing time.
My wife Melissa and I, our daughters Lauren (taller), Jessica, and my best man Ken.
We did manage to get a couple dances in during the reception but also many pictures and conversations with friends.
The next morning we had a light breakfast at the hotel (and in recovery mode.) And flew to Disney at 12:45 that day, first class airfare!!! We arrived at Wilderness Lodge and our room was ready. We booked a 1 bedroom suite with our DVC points and it was gorgeous and perfect! We could watch the electrical water parade from our balcony on the 5th floor and even caught the Magic Kingdom fireworks.
Our first night at the resort was low key, just some small plate items at the Territory Lounge and a semi early bedtime. The next morning was planned with a 80 minute couples massage at Senses in Saratoga Springs Resort to kick off the Honeymoon. If you have not kicked off a vacation with a massage, I highly recommend it! More to come as I collate all the pictures!!
