DAY 8 - Our Wedding Day! - Staged Exit
After we left the Wedding Pavilion Michelle moved me and Darren into the Brides Vestibule and said this was our time. I can't remember what we said to each other it must have been along the lines of we did it! But as soon as Michelle left us it felt like she was back to collect us. Before we left the room she asked if it was OK if we held our pre-reception in the White Hall Room and not on the patio as it was quite hot and she didn't want our mums to be uncomfortable. I remember saying that I didn't want them sitting at the main dinner table until our meal and she said not to worry they had it covered. I honestly didn't realize how hot it was that day but I have been told it was very hot and humid.
Whilst we were in here they were getting our guest ready for our petal toss.
We then made our way to them for our petal toss moment.
We then both got it the carriage for our ride around the car park. I never knew this was going to happen and I really did think the carriage was worth the extra money. Again me and Darren were talking all the time but I have no idea what about!

DAY 8 - Our Wedding Day! - More Photos
After our ride around the car park we joined our family in the wedding pavilion for more photos.
Darren's mum then gave us our horseshoe. This is a tradition in England that you give the bride a horseshoe for good luck, my mum also had a chimney sweep token for me that she forgot to take to the wedding with her, this is another good luck token. We had to explain the horseshoe to Misty and we took some photos with it.
We had more family photos and bridesmaids photos.
We must have been getting pushed for time because our family was then taken to the pre-reception and we had a few more photos around the wedding pavilion.

DAY 8 - Our Wedding Day! - More Photos Continued
We had so many photos taken here is just a small selection.
Misty said we had some time to take some photos on the beach, these are the photos I wanted the most so I rushed down to the beach. I caught the bottom of my dress on the way on a rose bush and it tore a little bit but thankfully it didn't notice.
At this point my feet were starting to feel uncomfortable as I now had sand in my shoes!
Then we were back in the carriage and were on our way to our pre-reception.

DAY 8 - Our Wedding Day! - Pre-Reception
To move our pre-reception into the White Hall Room they had placed our pre-reception food at one end of the room and the cocktail tables and chairs were at the other end so the roman table was still in the middle of the room. This was fine and the room didn't feel small at all.
The White Hall Room
Our Roman Table
Our Wedding Cake - Two tier Mickey Wave with white chocolate castle cake topper. Our filling was marble cake with dark chocolate mousse.
Our pre-reception food - fresh fruit and antipasto display.
We had our pre-reception scheduled for an hour and a half to include our guest visit and cake cutting as Stan was going to leave at 5pm and this is something I wanted him to film for us.

DAY 8 - Our Wedding Day! - Pre-Reception Continued
I don't know what time we made it to our pre-reception, I think Misty was keeping an eye on the time, well I hope she was. But I must say Michelle was brilliant not once did she say to us that we were running out of time etc and I know some people have had their planners do this to them.
The Major Domo announced us to our guests and we made our way into the room and around to the cake table for our toast. At every step Darren stepped on my dress, which had me laughing again. The Major Domo noticed this and asked if we had enjoyed our little walk.
Darren then made a really nervous toast that I ending up finishing for him! I promise I'm not that much of a control freak I just hated to see him struggle, it's my way of looking after him lol.
We was then taken over to have some pre-recepton food.
I think I had a mouthful of ham before we was called to go and find our guests.
The Major Domo then announced our special guests and we brought them in.
We then moved round for the cake cutting and Mickey Mouse nearly caught himself alight on the candles on the cake take, so I tired to move them out of his way. Now I'm glad Mickey know what he was doing as we didn't have a clue and he helped us cut the cake.
Now came for the part I was dreading, I had already warned Darren that I would be very mad if he smashed the cake in my face, thankfully it all went off without a hitch. Darren even made a joke he tired to eat the bit of cake he had before he had given it to me. Mickey soon put him right.

DAY 8 - Our Wedding Day! - Pre-Reception Continued
It was then time for Mickey and Minnie to leave us and on their way out they signed our guest book. I totally forgot I had asked them to do this and none of us saw them do it so I'm so glad Misty got photos for us.
When they had gone we had some time to spend with our guests. The violinist was fantastic he played guess the tune games with us and also took requests. He even played flight of the bumble bee that my step-dad asked for.
Then it was time for the Major Domo to return to the castle so he said his goodbyes and also introduced our first dance.
We had the pianist booked to play durning our meal so at this time he joined us and played our first dance choice - "You'll Be In My Heart" from Tarzan.

DAY 8 - Our Wedding Day! - Reception Dinner
After our first dance Stan said his goodbyes and we all sat down for our dinner.
Our first course was chicken satay with peanut sauce.
We then had strawberry sorbet in the Cinderella's slipper.
The main course was twin beef filet with maple BBQ sauce, yukon gold mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
Both my mum and I had parmesan crusted chicken breast with mushroom for our main.
Our dessert was wedding cake with ice cream.
The food was amazing everyone loved it. But its true what they say as the bride you don't get to eat that much of the meal on your wedding day. My dress was boned so my stomach couldn't expand that much more that it was already. So I had to eat very slowly, I wanted to eat so much of it but my dress wouldn't let me!

DAY 8 - Our Wedding Day! - Reception Dinner Continued
After our meal I think Michelle asked to talk to us outside. Our dessert party had to be moved inside due to it being over 50% chance of rain. We would have our food in the American Adventure and our viewing would be on the Italy Island. This to me was the best bit of news ever as I knew this was a good viewing spot and there was no way I was aloud to book this spot because of our small group and now because of the chance of rain we could have it.
We then went back to the dinner table for the speeches to start. It was Mick's turn first. He had been preparing for this moment for ages and unbeknown to us he couldn't see what he had written down and missed out great chunks of his speech. This was due to nerves and the fact that he didn't have his reading glasses.
It was then Darren's turn. He had no idea what to say and his mum had helped him on the wedding morning. His words were very touching and I did nearly cry but thankfully I held it together.
After his speech he then gave out the thank you gifts that we had gotten everyone.
We got an extra special gift for my Disney hating brother!
After we had finished Misty asked it we wouldn't mind leaving our guests and going to take more photos. We agreed and started a lap of the Grand Floridian.

DAY 8 - Our Wedding Day! - Grand Floridian Photos
I think Misty was on a roll she took some of the following photos.
When we were walking around the hotel there were two little girls dressed up as princesses, Misty asked their mums if they could have a picture with me, they were so cute.

DAY 8 - Our Wedding Day! - Dessert Party
When we got back to the White Hall Room the pianist was teaching Caitlin how to play. He had been keeping all our guests entertained whilst we were having our photos taken.
Everyone was then rounded up and we was put on the coach to Epcot.
We got to Epcot and was led in, Anya told me off because she said people were trying to take my picture and I was marching off to keep up with our guide. To be honest I didn't realize and because of the amount of people there I didn't want to lose our guide, with my eyes this could have easily been done.
We have a quick photo outside the American Adventure before we were taken upstairs.
We had picked the petit classics mean and this was our food. To be honest I thought there was going to be more but it was more than enough for our group.
I remember someone asking me if I was OK and if I needed anything and I asked for some water and it was with me in seconds. I had a chocolate eclair, I had been looking forward to this part of the day for ages but I could only manage one! We had a little rest and then we started the photos again.
Misty had asked someone if we could go and have some photos taken outside whilst we waited for the fireworks and they had said yes but we had to take a guide with us as we wasn't really meant to do this as the park was so busy.

DAY 8 - Our Wedding Day! - Dessert Party Continued
We then moved over to the Italy Island to wait for our guests and take a few more photos.
Our guests were brought over to us just before the fireworks were about to start and as the fireworks started so did our photos. Now these photos were the hardest ones to take as we had to keep so still as they have to use a slow shutter speed.
And as the fireworks ended so was our wedding day. And I must say they I found the whole disney wedding experience amazing, their attention to detail is amazing and everyone raved about how the day was better than they thought it was going to be and how it was all fantastic.
I must say Misty is also amazing to work with, she was moving people out of the way to get the shots she wanted. She totally blended in with our group and was so much fun to work with. I would love to work with her and her husband again.
So we said our goodbyes to Misty and the cast members and made our way back to the coach and back to the Grand.
All I wanted to do now was get my shoes off and put on my PJs!
When we got back to the room I remembered the mess we had left it in in the morning but when we got in there everything was back in its correct place and everything have been put away for us. All I can say whoever cleaned our room was amazing. We also had been left a gift from Disney floral.
The perfect end to a perfect day!

Jane -- You just looked absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and happy! 
Darren looks so joyful and proud with you. I really enjoyed all of your TR and the pictures are just incredibly gorgeous. 
I'm really glad Misty was able to capture all of those precious memories for you. Among my favorites are you and Darren with Mickey & Minnie and the one of you both in front of the GF where the background is black and white.
There are so many fabulous pix that it is hard to narrow it down to even 10.
Every bit of what you posted makes me so excited for our day. I hope I look even half as beautiful as you and that our guests have as wonderful a time as yours did.

Thank you so much. Darren really did love our wedding day, the next day he told me we had a fantastic wedding in the most amazing place on earth!
There are still a few more days of the TR to go. I promise to post them as soon as possible.
We had over 3500 photos of our day and every time we look at them we add another one to our list of favorites. I would have loved to post them all but we would have been here for years.
I'm sure you will look stunning and I'm sure your guests will have fun. Can't wait to hear all about it.
