Gina + Bob : Grand Floridian Wedding Preview

April 5, 2013 by Jensey 5 Comments

It’s our calm before the proverbial wedding storm. Nate and I are spending the next couple weeks getting caught up before our travel picks up again, and trying to tear through looming house projects before my family comes to visit for the first time. It’s that time of the year when I have to sit down and realistically see how packed our October, November, and December are, so I can plan out when to do my Christmas shopping and sewing by. This year? Ideally August, September if I’m behind schedule. Yoinks!

Before I begin stressing about whether or not I’ll be ready for Christmas in APRIL, let’s just take a breather and look at some pretty photos from Gina and Bob’s wedding day at Disney’s Grand Floridian, which began with a tornado warning on Disney property and ended with our lovely bride sliding across the dance floor like a slip-and-slide. No, seriously- Photo proof to come in their “real” blog later. (Love you, Gina!)

Danielle + Daniel : Grand Floridian Wedding

Yesterday was Dani and Dan’s engagement session in Celebration, Florida, and I’m so excited to share their wedding on the blog today!

You may recognize this photo from a post I did encouraging our couples to book connecting hotel rooms. You can read that post here… It just made the morning so much easier for their family members and us to float between rooms. Not to mention Nate was able to grab my favorite photo of the day. :)

Hopefully Dani will do a “First Look on the 1st” write up for me! :)

Dani and Dan, both actors, read Sandol Stoddard Warburg’s I Like You to each other at the altar. (Sweetest book ever- buy it here!)

My favorite part of their wedding day? The four of us took a leisurely 20 minute ride around the resort monorail track for some photos!

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite! If this doesn’t scream “Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings,” nothing does. :)

Alex + Steve : Wedding Part I

August 13, 2012 by Jensey 4 Comments

I don’t know if I’ve told you this before, but I have the most horrid fake British accent. I like using it because it’s the quickest way to make Nate laugh, but the truth is… I sound like an awful, awful slightly-southern version of Dick Van Dyke’s Bert in Mary Poppins. I actually used to *think* I had it pretty well set, but judging by the reactions of my closest friends and family, I seem to be ‘accent deaf’ like people are tone deaf!

That being said, I love a good British accent, so any time we get a booking from a couple across the pond, I get so excited to spend the day listening to their friends and family speak! Alex and Steve were no exception, and this wedding day was full of “lorries” and “lifts” and “spoonfuls of sugar.” Ok, I may have added that last one in for fun, but you get the picture. :)

Alex and Steve got ready at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, where they had a kick-ass view of the savannah.

Patricia LeJeune’s team was on hand, so we knew the day would begin smoothly. :)

Alex’s bridesmaids reminded me so much of Katie and Hayley, the bridesmaids at Victoria and Jack’s wedding. SO sweet and supportive- I’m officially taking applications for British best friends, if anyone’s interested! ;)
