Lacey your photos are just gorgeous, and I LOVE your DH's facebook updates, how adorable!
I'd love to see larger versions of your pictures as we're planning on SBP, is there somewhere I could do this?
Sending good vibes for your MIL, my thoughts are with you and your family xx

Hi Lacey, I have just read through your entire PJ and everything was so perfect! Congratulations Mrs!!!!! 
I love everything you did and your colour scheme was just perfect in the photos! I love the photo of you with the girls and your feet pointed up so you can see the beautiful soles of your shoes, love the balloon photo, so perfect! Everything was just lovely and I am glad you had the day of your dreams!

Hey everyone! So sorry that it's been so long since I've been on the boards. DH's mom passed away a few days before Christmas, and it's been really hard for all of us over the past few weeks. I haven't wanted to sign onto the boards and update my PJ because it makes me so sad to see all of the pictures of her. 
However, my MIL was a fantastic lady, and I know she wouldn't want us to be sad...she had a great time at the wedding and I am ready to get back to being happy about our wonderful day!
Plus, I really missed you girls!!!
Thanks so much, Jackie!!!! Your comments are always so sweet and make me smile!
Thank you so much! When I first started the planning process, I saw another bride who used Mickey balloons in her photos. The floral team was able to provide them on the day of the wedding!
Bethie!!! You are going to LOVE Janet! I am really proud of myself for not losing it during the ceremony! 
I hope things are still going well at WW! 
I will post more photos soon! I promise!!!
Thank you for the kind words! If you are interested in seeing more (and larger) pictures, you can go to DH's picasa album (the link is picasaweb.google.com/maliboo74). There are literally hundreds of pictures from the wedding. Some are from family/friends and some are professional pics, but go ahead and have a look!
I will absolutely post more pictures now that I am back in action!
OMG!!! Being married is great---although it's kinda like being engaged...considering we lived together for 3 years before we tied the knot!
Shannon, we were both thrilled with how the wedding turned out! It was such a happy day!
Thank you Nichole! Yes, we were SOOO lucky with the weather on our day! It was just perfect!!!
Oh my goodness thank you for the sweet words! We had an amazing time on the entire trip! You are doing to LOVE the cruise!!! Are you going to be on the Dream as well?? The seller of my parasol was exclusiveelements. I highly recommend her!!!
Thank you so much sweetie!

Ummmm there aren't ENOUGH pictures! You looked SO gorgeous, Lacey.
-I love the gift your DF gave you. So sweet!
-I LOLed at the garter photo. So cute!!!
-Love the ceremony pictures.
-Oh, and your bouquet.
-Okay. Everything.
Thanks so much, Jackie!!!!

Lacey,
First off, sorry about MIL not doing well. I will send more positive thoughts out towards Grafton.
On to happier topics, YOUR PHOTOS ARE AMAZING!! Love the gifts, love the getting ready photos (I can't wait to meet Janet in June, for my trial) and your ceremony was lovely. Glad you didn't lose it until it was over. Good job!
Thanks for the good thoughts on WW. I will keep you posted. Paul did fairly well his first week. He was down 2.4. He doesn't seem to be struggling with his points, but he does get 47 of them a day!!!
Looking forward to more of your happy day.
Bethie!!! You are going to LOVE Janet!

I sooo agree with this! Everyone always asks me how married life is and I say that its the same since we lived together for 3 years first! I don't think thats the answer people want though because I always get a weird look!
And I"m so sorry about your MIL.

Since so many of you said you wanted to see more pictures, I decided to post some more of my favorites before I continue with the reception. I hope you don't mind, but I kept these pictures kind of big so you could actually see them.
For your viewing pleasure...
Here we are showing a little "attitude". DH says I look like a "double tea pot" when I have both hands on my hips..."I'm a little teapot..." 
I love this picture, and I have NO idea what was so funny!
Me and my dad. 
DH and his mom. The most wonderful woman ever.
How adorable is my nephew???

Now on to the reception...the best party I've ever been to!!!
By the time we made it over to the BW convention center, my feet were KILLING me!
Before we were taken into the St. James ballroom, our planner Michelle had plates of appetizers and strawberry bellinis waiting for us. The appetizers were wonderful! Lots of yummy fruits, cheeses (especially the goat cheese--my favorite), bagel chips, and macerated berry shots! yum yum yum!!
The pre-reception cocktail hour was held on the patio that connects to the St. James ballroom. We got to spend a few minutes on the patio with our guests, which was a nice surprise! This is where the bar was set up. We had an open bar for beer, wine, and our signature cocktails. Despite it being a brunch reception, our guests definitely partied!
Our 37 guests (and us) fit PERFECTLY into St. James ballroom. I was very, very happy with our choice of the reception venue. I was initially nervous about this space because not too many people have used this venue as their reception space, and I didn't see any good pictures of events prior to our wedding. My planner assured me that the space would be big enough that we could enjoy the party but not so big we would feel like we were missing a bunch of people.
Rather than having our buffet inside of the room, the CMs set it up just outside of the ballroom, in the hallway. This worked out perfectly--no long lines inside of the party space. We had the Tinkerbell brunch buffet with a few customized items. Honestly, this was the BEST brunch buffet I've EVER had. Our guests RAVED about the food. Everyone was so excited about the Mickey waffles. If my dress wasn't laced so tightly I might have had more than 2!!!

We had DJ Charles Miles as our DJ. He came highly recommended by our planner. Despite a few minor mistakes, DH and I really liked him. He was fun and energetic, and got people to dance. Now don't forget, our reception was from 12-3pm. That didn't stop our friends and family from dancing their you-know-whats off!!!
DH and I during our first dance...
We danced to "You're My Best Friend" by Queen.
We practiced this move in our living room a million times!
Father-daughter dance. My dad and I danced to "Sunshine on My Shoulder" my John Denver.
I kicked off my shoes and my dad and I did it old-school. Me standing on his feet! There wasn't a dry eye in the house!
DH and his mom danced to "In My Life" by the Beatles. Whenever I hear this song lately, it makes me teary.
Now, do you all remember how I told you about my fun little dance move? Well, I thought it would be funny to include some of the pictures from our reception of people dancing...notice how many times the photographer caught me with one arm over my head...
(everyone knows "the Lacey")
(Do you think I've had too much to drink??? 
)
This was one of my favorite parts of the reception...the DJ asked everyone to get on the dance floor--girls in one line and boys in another facing each other...he played "Footloose" and all of us took turns going down the center of the dance floor. It was HYSTERICAL.

We decided to have an anniversary dance--all of the married couples gets onto the dance floor and one by one each couple sits down based on the amount of time they've been married (the DJ starts with one day and then continues until the last couple is alone). My in-laws were the winners with 41 years! The DJ spent a couple of minutes talking to them about their happy marriage, and asked if they could give DH and I some advice...my FIL grabbed the microphone and said, "I learned early on in our marriage that there are two words every husband should know...YES DEAR!". It was priceless.
Rather than doing a bouquet toss, I decided to present my grandmother with the bouquet. She turned 84 on the day we got married, and was so thrilled to share her birthday with us.
Me playing DJ...and my MOH doing a MUCH better job!
This was seriously the best cake I've ever had. The bottom layer was marble with vanilla buttercream filling and the top layer was chocolate with peanut butter cup filling. A-mazing.
We were all very sad when 3 o'clock rolled around...but little did my guests know, I had a big surprise for them in EPCOT later that night!
Up next, drinking around the world and the dessert party!
