Most
people, when they get to know you, ask about your
wedding day or honeymoon. When we are asked, we often
seem to glow with excitement to remember our wedding
day, September 23, 1999. Our Wedding was so amazing
with a lot of surprises, tears of joy, and friends!
After
reading about our engagement, you know that we are very
friend oriented. With that proposal came a need to find
a place to get married. We went all over Atlanta and
did not find the "right place". We thought, maybe we
should consider Tybee Island, as it was one of our
favorite places to vacation. We thought of a Beach
Wedding with the waves crashing down behind us as we
said our "I Do's". But it was not meant to be for us.
As we
decided to take a quick vacation to Disney World, we
thought that would be a neat place to get married, but
probably TOO EXPENSIVE! However, we started our
investigation. We have had friends spend their
honeymoon there, but no one we know has ever gotten
married there!? We contacted Disney and scheduled an
appointment to view the Wedding Pavilion. It was love
at first sight! From the boutique to the Octagon shaped
chapel, this became our desire to share our "I Do's"
with our friends and family here!
We made
our decision for sure on our follow up trip in February
of 1999. We told our friends and family members to
plan their vacations around this September wedding so we
could all enjoy time together and share this magical
time. Tara's father came down to walk his young and
beautiful daughter down the aisle with Blake's mother
being there as well. We had a wonderful time!
The
wedding was a wonderful celebration of romance, love and
expressing them with our commitment in front of our
friends, family, and God.
Earlier
in the week, Blake sent a dozen roses with a card simply
stating, "I do, Love Freckles". Tara was in tears.
Tara surprised Blake back with having Mickey Mouse,
HIMSELF. at the Reception.
Be sure
to view our
wedding video to see this magical event for us.

Part of our package was to have wedding
photographs taken at the Magic Kingdom.
Believe it or not, this image was taken around
4:00 the morning after we married. We also
had a special brick placed in the walkway
outside the wedding pavilion as well as a ride
in the vintage 1942 Cadillac. There are so
many fond memories about our wedding.
Thank you for sharing them with us today! |
