Truly sorry this has taken so long, but I'm almost finished. The remainder should be up very soon.
Bridal Breakfast
http://www.fredammons.com/wedding/index_files/Page639.htm
The next thing I know some annoying person or thing is poking at me attempting to rouse me from my slumber. Hmm.... looks like the wedding day is starting off just like any other day! After madly swatting at whatever it was and mumbling something unintelligible, I finally manage to drag myself from the nice warm bed and into the shower. The moment the water hits me and I actually become conscious, I finally get it! Um . . . today is my wedding day. Literally the next thing that comes out of my mouth is Mom! Is it raining? Well . . . it was not.
I get out of the shower and call Fred to make sure hes up. So he was up, but he was in a horrible mood! Whats up with that??? He explains that the he had just received a phone call from a guy at the limo company that was suppose to take the groomsmen to their lunch telling him that they wouldnt be able to make it. Great way to start a wedding day, huh? (Not to mention that we had already paid in full.) Fred freaks out and the man says he will check and see what he can do and call back. Ok, I must confess Im thinking this isnt that big of a deal. Michelle can certainly handle this. For petes sake there arent but seven of you,
if worst comes to worst you can all fit in my dads excursion! Yes, I realize that had it directly affected me I most certainly would not have had that sort of attitude, but I was really concerned that this little hiccup would ruin Freds mood for the entire day.
I was just finishing drying my hair when the phone rang, it was Fred and he had news. The man from the limo company called back and told him that there was absolutely no way they could make it because they had to be at the Wilderness Lodge in Disney World for a groomsmens luncheon at 11:00. Hmm . . . this sounds familiar! He went on to say that they had to make that pickup because the charter had already been paid in full. Well, it turns out he had called the wrong person to begin with. Evidently, someone had contacted the company the day before and inquired about whether a charter for the next day was possible. The man from the company intended to call the person who had recently requested a charter, but called Fred by mistake! (Ok, so I can understand the screw up, but why on earth didnt you realize it when Fred told him he was looking at an invoice stamped paid in full!) Anyway, crisis averted ... but what damage had it done?
I finally get myself ready and leave everything in a nice neat pile for Fred and the bellman to retrieve when he checks out. Mom and I are literally walking out of the room and I spot the little envelope they slide under your door with the bill and for some reason I have to pick it up! Now I know we havent charged anything in a night, but still I felt the need to check it. Well, I tear into it and they havent applied the deposit. So this requires that I go back into the room and place another phone call to Fred. He luckily agrees to handle the situation and we finally leave the Contemporary five minutes after the bridal breakfast was scheduled to begin!
After deciding against a Mad Hatter tea, we scoured my Disney movie collection in search of another movie with a tea party theme. Along came Mary Poppins! So then I had a very productive session with Laura Kidd and we decided to pattern each table after a song from the movie. Laura truly ran with the theme and came up with some very unique and surprisingly inexpensive centerpieces. In the end, we settled on three tables patterned after Lets go fly a kite, A spoon full of sugar, and Jolly Holiday. I then created kite, spoon, and carousel horse escort cards using plaster of Paris and candy molds! Anyway, on to the party. . .
After surveying the room and finding quite a few unexpected magical touches, I started the buffet line and we began to eat. I manage to eat only a precious few bites before our special guest arrives.
I have a sneaking suspicion Mary Poppins stayed longer than she was suppose to because everyone was having a great time interacting with her. (Even the grownups!) She was just a great Mary Poppins! Practically perfect in every way. In fact, we were in the Magic Kingdom two days after the wedding and saw her getting on the carousel. She spotted me, waived, remembered my name, and asked how our wedding went! Perhaps thats common place at Disney, but with all the people she must meet I was rather impressed that she remembered my name!
Anyway she finally had to go, we all said goodbye, and returned to our food. Then of course we need to take a bizzion more photos in front of the carousel horse. In no time, the party was winding down and guests were starting to say their goodbyes. I got up to play hostess and sent my guests on their merry way. Soon after the ladies from Absolutely Fitting arrived to steam the dresses and the bridesmaids went off to their appointments at Ivy Trellis.
Groomsmens Luncheon
Fred has always been a Emeril fan and this luncheon was a great excuse to eat at Emerils Orlando. They met up in the lobby of the Wilderness Lodge and had a nice limo ride over to Universal followed by lunch in a little private room off of the main dining room.
My husband to be neglected to take any photos of the occasion. Luckily a very detail oriented groomsman thought it might be appropriate to document the event and graciously provided the following photos. (Counterclockwise; Appetizer, Adouillie Sausage; Entrée, Texas Redfish; and Dessert, Crème Brulee`
