The Happiest Day of Our Lives...

[Raspberry Bubbles]

Continued...

Our meal was simply delicious and then our turtle returned! He sat right next to us.

This was a truly spectacular time for us.

Our turtle did a little swim...

...and came back again!

Gavin ordered Key Lime Pie, and this was to be the benchmark of all Key Lime Pies throughout his time here. I think he would go back to the Coral Reef just for the pie!

I had a fruit sorbet thing with a seahorse wafer!

We finished up, took a few more photos and left, totally and completely delighted.

We headed back to the Boardwalk for some Wedding preparation!

Back at our hotel, I had a job to do. I had planned to turn our Mickey treats into part of the wedding decor at the end of the evening and I had some work to do to get them over to Franck's ready in time.

We got the treats out and I shooed Gav away as he was getting far too excited about the smell of them...

I got my kit together and settled in!

Pretty, pretty!

I made a short instructional video, courtesy of Gav whilst I was doing this for prosperity. It's like Blue Peter version of wedding treats.

So, you take a Mickey Ear...

...then place it into the pre-purchased bags that you have bought on eBay months earlier...

...cut and tie a little bow around the stick...

...look industrious....

...and then select a sticker, pre-printed....

...put them in a little pile...

...attach more ribbons with velcro loops so that they can be attached to the trees at the dessert party...

...try and ignore your husband to be who is calling out silly things...

...continue to look industrious and you are done!

In the meantime, Gavin was trying for over an hour to get the pay-as-you-go-phones working for our families...

 

[Raspberry Bubbles]

When I was finished, we got showered and headed over to Epcot for our reservation at (drum roll please...) LE CELLIER! I was so desperate to get a reservation here and so delighted when I did!

We got there in plenty of time, even walking over from the Boardwalk...

All Gav knew was that there was the same Filet Mignon that Chef Corey had cooked at our Planning Session here, and that was good enough for him!

As we arrived people were getting turned away and I was so happy (although sad for them) because I don't think Gav believed me (and neither did his family) that it would not be possible to get into Le Cellier without reservations.

At this time we were waiting patiently with our phone for our families to arrive at All Star Movies and we had left messages with the hotel for them to call us at our room to let us know they were safe. Anyway, despite the fact they should have already arrived we assumed they were just a little late in checking in and we went ahead to dinner...

We were led inside and we waited for a few minutes before being led down into the cellar...

We were crammed into a corner, far too close for comfort to the next people. They turned out to be super grumpy and we were embarrassed by them.

Still, we continued to enjoy ourselves and our server brought us bread and took our drinks order. I asked about the Ice Wine and he said that it was only sold by the bottle now and I was so sad. He went away and came back shortly after with a glass for me though ~ success!!!

Gavin had some Canadian beer...

and we ordered. Our first course was the cheese soup ~ and we had no idea on the difference between the two sizes and ended up with a huge bowl each of the soup!

I tried a little of the bread too ~ it was nice but I had noooo intention on filling up with bread before my delicious filet!

 

[Raspberry Bubbles]

The filet arrived!

Gav was so ecstatic!

All was going well and we barely spoke to each other or looked at each other throughout the filet course ~ we mostly had our eyes closed in bliss, ha ha. That sounds really geeky but we just don't get meat like this at home and we wanted to remember it always...

So then the dessert menu arrives... uh-oh!

You will see by the shocked look on Gav's face that he has found the price for the Ice-Wine I had the Inniskillin one, of course

I sat there just laughing at his face until my sides ached!

I really wanted the chocolate Moose since I have a moose obsession but I could not fit anything else in. However, I was stubborn and Gavin's stomach often knows no bounds and so I ordered it for us to share.

He came and I was like a little child!

We finished the meal and thanked our server profusely ~ he deserved it after all of the grief he got from the other people next to us. They were soooo rude!!! Complaining about everything and about everything he tried to do for them!

We left completely satisfied and then some, and walked back to the Boardwalk (well, we waddled anyway...)

It's so beautiful at night.....(and in the day).

 

[Raspberry Bubbles]

Since we got back late last night and we were effectively underground in Le Cellier we thought our family may have had issues getting through to us and although we waited up until midnight, we heard nothing from either of our families, all of whom were travelling together, and so we were a little worried.

We woke up and packed up everything. Today we were checking out of the Boardwalk and into the Yacht Club for the last two days as a single gal and bachelor boy!

Those blasted phones...

Some treats...

All ready to go! Notice my cute little Bride bag from eBay!

We wised up and sent our cases through Bell Services, and travelled lightly to the Yacht Club. I could not bear the thought of something happening to our treats with Bell Services by accident and so I insisted we take these ourselves, by hand, across the way to the Yacht Club.

We said goodbye to the room!

We made our bed of course, we didn't leave it like this! We waved farewell to the view...

...and headed to the Boardwalk Bakery for breakfast!!!!

 

[Raspberry Bubbles]

I just realised that I completely forgot to post about our Engagement Session with the Roots! We had it on August 2nd at the Boardwalk and we could not have had more fun!

Here are some of our favorites. Note that I have no make up, my hair is a mess but I still felt so good being photographed by them. I just love them both to pieces!

We started off a little awkward as I am completely and utterly as you have seen, unphotogenic. I am also shy as I mentioned before and so I thought this would be painful, but I was determined to have some beautiful photos to remember my time before I was married, even if it was just 3 days beforehand. So I was petrified and I had butterflies and electric eels in my tummy. How wrong I turned out to be. We had the time of our lives!!!

So here we are....

Our bottoms! Never has the back of me looked so good! (Gavin always looked good :laugh3: )

We started at Sea Breeze Point and just walked. It was that easy.

We stopped, we chatted ~ they really are wonderful people!

Here's one half of the deadly duo ~ Mrs. Jensey Root!

We had a little dance!

More to come...

 

[Raspberry Bubbles]

Then Nathan asked us to chase him! :laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3:

 

[Raspberry Bubbles]

So went walked under the little bridge area...

...then we walked to the lake and got into trouble with the Disney lifeguards!

 

[Raspberry Bubbles]

We walked some more.... It was soooo hot that day! I was as red as a beetroot!

....Then we went towards the Yacht Club!

 

[Raspberry Bubbles]

Some fun in the Yacht Club Rose Garden!

........and finally back around to the Boardwalk!

 

[Raspberry Bubbles]

I've got so many, that it's so hard to choose, so sorry if this is boring anyone!

We headed to the photo booth... Nathan stuck the camera through the curtain and told us to get silly! No need to ask twice!

That's all for now!
