Our Food?

Could you see this brunch in 11 months? Who knows? Not me! Haha. Any thoughts?

I prefer a different menu only due to the addition of a Mickey waffle bar! How cool is that! But this is more realistic...and reflecting my changes in a few areas for the benefit of Don and our guests. Aka bye bye fishy and hello chicken instead

Any bets on if this is or anything close is actually served in December?

Our View of the Wedding Chapel





I just had to snap this picture while we were waiting for the monorail. Grand Floridian wedding chapel looking magnificent. We spent a lot of time on the monorail and were in heaven every time we passed by the chapel.



I also snapped one of the Grand Floridian as a whole. So beautiful! Can't wait for December!

I Made a Decision!

The first real decision of the wedding has been made! I said in one of my previous posts that I had ordered two sample invitations. Well, the invitations arrived while we were in South Carolina. I was actually really surprised that they both looked almost exactly like they did online. I ordered a sample of my favorite purple invitation, and a sample of my favorite invitation overall, which is actually a khaki-gold type color. As noted, my mom decided that she hated both online. BUT, she actually came over from the dark side and LOVED the gold-ish one. It also helped that the purple one was a lot smaller than we thought....guess we didn't look at the sizes!

DECISION MADE!!! I haven't placed the order yet...but it is nice to feel that one decision is finally OVA. I was going to take a picture and attach it, but then I realized that a picture would ruin the surprise.
