A Christmas Wishes Wedding 12~8~14 WP, LSS,UK Terrace DP ~ NOW A TRIP REPORT!

Absolutely beautiful.
Trinity did a great job on that sneak peek, I bet the full video will be a real tear-jerker.
 
Here Is The BEO For The Wedding. This Does Not Include Floral(That Estimate Should Be Arriving Soon) :)





Thank you so much for posting your BEO this was very helpful to me. The wedding looked beautiful and it was nice to follow along and see pictures of everything. Thank you again. :)
 
Ok lets get back to the wedding day! I last left off when we were heading to the reception. For some reason the drive seemed to take a good amount of time. I am not sure if I had mentioned this prior...but originally our cocktail hour was supposed to start at 3:30. Luckily, I had it pushed back until 4:00pm so we had plenty of time to get there. With doing that, it did shave a 1/2 hour off of our dessert party, but we really weren't concerned with that since we figured it wouldn't take a long time to eat dessert and we really only booked it for the fireworks. It's a good thing that we did this because we didn't get to the reception until 4pm( so we would have missed 30mins of cocktail hr) and it rained so our dessert party was in the Seas anyway because of the rain :)
For some reason or another, I only got pictures of 2 of the apps during coctktail hour and I never got a picture of the fastpass escort cards displayed :worried:10394027_10205291189017253_6213825051665139562_n.jpg 1455896_10205291189137256_4628893540437248184_n.jpg IMG_1631 (1).JPG

And the cake! I must say that they nailed this cake to the "T" to what the bride and groom wanted! even to the detail of having the sugar roses tipped in silver. The chocolate castle was ordered, but we were very surprised that they had it lit up! It looked awesome!!! You know how they say their is a million things you will look over at your wedding and not even notice..well even though this wasn't my wedding, it was still very special to me because 1. It was my brothers and 2. I planned it and I've looked at this picture a hundred times and I JUST noticed that hunk of icing that had fallen down! LOL :rotfl2:I guess one of the kids couldn't wait to dig in!:oops:

The Pasta Course. This pasta was absolutely delicious!!! Being Italian(the grooms side) that is telling you something!

This is a bad picture of the kids meals, but it was French fries, chicken fingers and mac & cheese. The kids had so much fun using all of the dipping sauces :-)

The main course..Garlic butter poached lobster and filet! This was unbelievable. Unfortunately at this point I was stuffed and barely ate it, but WOW!!

I can't say enough good things about these characters. They arrived exactly on time and really interacted with everyone!! For those that didn't know they were coming, they were floored! They danced with everyone and really had everything timed perfectly with dancing, cake cutting, photos etc. We also got some family photos with them, but before we could do that a couple family members were out at the smoking spot(right past the Land Pavilion) and they actually waited past their allotted time so we could get the shots.
While I am on this subject..I also cannot say enough good things about our media guides! The 2 that really stood out were a husband and wife team! They were so adorable and never had a problem escorting our smokers back and forth to the smoking spot..in the dreary rainy weather and all! They were great!
 
While the bride and groom were taking these adorable pictures....

The staff was busy setting up the dessert party! They are so clever with their timing. Everyone was so busy watching Mickey and Minnie that no one even noticed them setting all of this up! Again, I was just too busy enjoying the wedding that I bombed at getting lots of good pictures of everything. Sorry!

Everything tasted delicious at the dessert party, but I was a bit disappointed on the display. In my other posts where I posted the pictures of the dessert party that we wanted, I sent the Disney wedding planner that exact picture and said we wanted it to look exactly like that(or close to it). One of the MAIN things my brother really loved about the display was the Pluto's puppy chow displayed in the pluto dog dishes. When I got the quote of $29 per person I thought that was pretty steep, but it's Disney and I'm sure it would take them some time to set up the display and it looked so cute. When I saw it at the wedding I wasn't impressed. It was not displayed even close to the picture and to top it off...the plutos puppy chow was just in a glass bowl. This disappointed me because I know how much my brother wanted it.
 
Cake Cutting Time!

Love Mickey & Minnie's reaction during the cake kiss :-)

After the cake, which was delicious and I would highly recommend the "grey stuff" filling, It was just lots dancing until the reception was over. I just wanted to share these pictures cause our family got a ton of them because we thought they looked so neat :-)

After the reception was over, we exited the Seas and boarded the motorcoach to the UK Pavilion for Illuminations. The fireworks were great like always and Randy did a great job catching some good shots. It was raining heavier at this point and our guides were on hand distributing Ponchos to the guests. Luckily for us, the standard tables in UK also had Umbrellas on them :-)
