A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes: A March 2011 Disney Wedding/Honeymoon Trip Report

Hi Holly! I'm a long-time-trip-report-lurker, but I just had to comment! You look absolutely stunning - dress, hair, makeup everything!! In reading this report, I started thinking, "We should have got married at Disney!" It looks so magical & Sunset POinte is a gorgeous location.

I can completely relate to having regrets afterwards... I'm also a perfectionist, and although I had the best time EVER at my wedding, I still look back, 10 years later & wonder why I did things the way I did. I would totally make changes if I had to do it all over. I don't think those feelings will ever completely go away, but you'll make your peace with it and it'll only come up again on anniversaries when you dig out the albums & video . We didn't even look at ours this year -- isn't that awful!! We were just excited to have our anniversary dinner without the kids coming!

You & Brett make a great looking couple!! Congrats on the wedding

Oh, and I almost forgot... I love how you refer to your dress in the 3rd person :ROFLOL:

Welcome out of lurkdom! :wave: Thanks for posting, and for all the kind words. You make a good point about how you only think about those things during those moments of reminiscence. I didn't really like any of the group shots with everyone, but I realize those aren't the ones we'll hang on a wall anyway, so it's okay.

I'm sure a romantic dinner without the kids was more than sufficient this year!

And yeah... I wish *she* had a name. Some designers (Maggie Sottero comes to mind) actually name the dresses. I like that. Darn... why didn't I just name her myself?!

Tiggerish said:
Wow, just wow. I should have left this until tonight when I'd have more time, but couldn't resist. So most of my comments will be "quickies", and I'm sure I'll forget something.

You made a breathtaking bride. The dress was just absolutely perfect, as were the hair and makeup.

Loved the photos in the trees, what a great idea to reflect your love of the Poly. All those pre-photos that Jason took were marvelous; the resort details, the rings!

You wonder if guys appreciate how easy they have it on the big day. Still, how fun for Brett to have that wedding-morning adventure with his brother and his dad. He cleans up nice, too.

Thank you, Siobhan, you're too kind! Brett does clean up well, doesn't he?! Although, I guess I'm a bit partial, after all he is my groom.

Some of Jason's detail shots have me wanting to run out and buy a macro lens. By no means could I do what he did with it, but I would certainly have fun trying!

Tiggerish said:
Everyone probably has a couple of regrets from their wedding day. I've got two that I can remember--at the time, my brother was an active-duty enlisted Marine stationed in 29 Palms, California. The Marine Corps, being famous for their toughmindedness, would not confirm that he would be able to take leave to attend the wedding until a few days before the wedding, so we couldn't put him in the wedding party, but that's not what I regret. What I am sorry about is that we didn't go ahead and rent him a tuxedo anyway; if he didn't get leave it would have just been a waste of money, but so what (I can say that now). Needless to say, he did get leave, and he did not want to wear his uniform, so he looked like just another guest, and I do regret that. It turned into a funny story, though, because the band made the guys and gals each do a Rockette-style line kick, and when it was the guys' turn, I heard the bandleader say, "there's always one in every crowd--the guy wearing white sweatsocks with dress pants", and I did not even have to look to know that "that guy" was my brother!! :lol: The other one is that I included absolutely nothing of my Irish heritage in the ceremony or the reception. My husband is not Irish, and so I felt funny about it, but later that year, my maid-of-honor got married, and she had a bagpiper and there was quite a bit of Irish stepdancing, and I was really sorry I'd had none of that, especially after my husband made his first trip to Ireland and loved everything about it, instantly.

The story about your brother and the socks is so cute. I can just see you smiling as you type that. I love those little memories. A Rockette-style kickline? Now that sounds like a great party!

Tiggerish said:
Megan is so right--that's exactly what I thought when I read Kelly's challenge to you; Mom not having a camera may have caused you to lose out on some nice photos, but it gave Mom the opportunity to relax and really be "in the moment" and enjoy her daughter's very special wedding day, particularly after all the ways she contributed to it being so very, very wonderful.

I've got a LOT of years of perspective, so take it from me: the sting of each of your small regrets will fade to nothing over time, and it even sounds like some of them are fading already!
(and I do totally, totally get that you recognize how small they are, but right now, they do still sting, and that's okay, but don't let them linger)

I think with your words, and so many others here, it's safe to say that while it does sting, I won't let it linger. Thank you.

Dianarella said:
Holly, I certainly understand your feelings on this, but I believe that most of us wish we could do something better or different when we look back in hindsight. Oh if we only knew then, what we know now.

I felt this way after my wedding too. I had planned it for 2 years, and let's face it, it's fun. The shopping, the parties, the cake tastings, the presents and the attention become the norm, and it can be quite the let down when all the fanfare is over.

Sooooooooo true. I spent so much free time surfing the interwebs for wedding related ideas and such. As you say, it goes from being the biggest anticipation to being over, like that!

Dianarella said:
Then I looked at our pictures and just knew it could have been better. I loved our photographer, and at the time everyone mentioned how wonderful he was and what get shots he got. And all of that was true, but I knew that some shots were missing and couldn't go back.

My mistake was in vetoing the disposable cameras on each table. I thought it would be tacky. Boy was I wrong.

A few weeks after my wedding, we attended a friends wedding complete with cameras on the tables. Let me tell you that we had so much fun taking all kinds of different pictures that I'm sure the photographer would have never been able to get.
When she showed me the pictures from that day, I could have cried. The photo's told a story that just my professional pictures couldn't. Some shots were funny, some creative and some really amazing. Since so many different people were involved, their own personal style was present in each picture.

I was kicking myself and was feeling so depressed that I missed out on all of that and as you said, you can't just go back and fix it.

YES. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. You nailed it, Diana. It's not that I'm unhappy with what I have, I just wish I had the others to go along with it. It might sound weird but the pictures I have in my mind that my mom would've taken would've included "behind the scenes" style shots. Like, pictures of Jason taking pictures of us. That kind of stuff. It would've been so cool to have that for the trip report, you know?!

Dianarella said:

But I finally realized that my photographs told a story too. Our story. Our day. Our celebration. Whatever we may have missed doesn't matter, as we'll always have our memories of that day.

You did a lovely job with your wedding. All the details and hard work show.

Your hair and dress are just perfect, and you looked wonderful.

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your life to document your special day for all of us.

Now I'm looking forward to the best part, the I Do's.

So, so true. And thank you. The I Do's are up next! As if you couldn't figure that out. What I mean is they'll be up shortly.

silver1113 said:

You are definately not alone. While I can't really remember being nervous on my wedding day (5/7/83), I do look back now and think of things I wish I would have done differently. This has been the best TR I have read. It is all so wonderful!!

silver1113 said:

You are absolutly Beautiful!! Father's can do that to you. Make you sentimental.

Congratulations on your 18 years together! Thank you. I'm such a sap and the little moments with my dad, and my mom, are so precious to me! Sentimental is right.

DisneyShe said:

Okay, so I too, am now a thread stalker! :lol: I have been watching and checking to see if you have posted. Congratulations to both of you! The pre-trip report was wonderful. I can't believe how beautiful the things that you made for the wedding were. You really did a great job. And the dress... WOW! Absolutely beautiful and you looked beautiful in it. Can't wait to see the rest of the report!

Thank you so much, DisneyShe! More to come shortly.

DisneyRed95 said:

Holly! I'm so happy you started your trip report! Sorry I'm a little late to the party. I have a good excuse though, I was in the "world" last week and just got back yesterday. I'm having Disney depression that I'm not sitting on my balcony at Wilderness Lodge right now, so I'm so happy I came back to your trip report! :sohappy: It's helping me cope. :animwink:

Click to expand...

I love the Wilderness Lodge... we stayed there for the third leg of our trip. One day (who knows when) I'll get to that part of the report. :lol: Disney depression is the worst. But trip reports help. Hint. Hint.

DisneyRed95 said:

I love everything so far! Your dress was perfect and you looked so beautiful! I love your hair and make up too. Your Fairy Godmother did a fabulous job!

I have some "regrets" about my wedding day too, so I completely understand how you feel. It's hard not to focus on them after the event. But from what you've written so far, your day sounds perfect! Can't wait for the ceremony details and pictures!!!

Congrats!!!

Three cheers for my Fairy Godmother. Seriously, I can't sing her praises enough. Thanks for all the kind words and well wishes, Krista!

Holly, just wanted to say I love the pictures! Your dress is beautiful, and I love that the rings have Ohana in them.

Also, thanks to your pictures, I want to give the Luau a try. It looks amazing

Thanks so much, Joanna! It's funny, you can see the engravings so much better in the pictures than you can with the naked eye, especially on mine. The luau gets two thumbs up from me. I've never done the Hoop-de-do Revue but I hear it's kind of similar and would like to try it sometime.

HollyBelle · May 10, 2011

Ceremony Time!

Outside Tahiti, my golf cart chariot awaited! From the research I’d done, I knew a golf cart was the mode of transportation used to get to Sunset Pointe. I kid you not, I was super excited about this.

I adore this picture of me and my dad...

Karen took off around the wrong side of the building at first. Just in case you’re wondering, the walkway doesn’t go out around the far end of Tahiti. She considered going “off road” before thinking better of it and making a three point turn.

I caught my first glimpse of Brett as we came around the path to the Pointe and he took my breath away; I'm getting giddy just writing about it. They had him facing the castle so he wouldn’t see us approach. He looked so handsome standing there with his hands in his pockets, looking off towards the Magic Kingdom. I know a huge goofy grin broke out across my face… the kind I couldn’t contain even if I tried.

THIS is what it was all about. Here I was at the happiest place on earth, at my FAVORITE resort, rolling up to Sunset Pointe in this golf cart, on the most beautiful day ever, and the man of my dreams was waiting for me at the top of the hill, staring off at Cinderella Castle in the distance. Someone pinch me, I’m living a fairytale.

It was such a surreal feeling, knowing that I could see him but he couldn’t see me. That’s when the butterflies started dancing around in my stomach. I felt so close to, yet so far away from, the rest of our lives together as husband and wife. It had taken us so long to get here, and the only thing separating us now was the paved walkway out to the Pointe. Part of me just wanted to kick off my shoes, run up the hill, and jump in Brett’s arms, jubilantly shouting “It’s time. It’s time. Marry me already!” :kiss: :lol:

But I didn’t. Instead, my dad and I found ourselves standing at the bottom of the hill with Karen. My mom whispered some words of wisdom and gave us each a kiss before heading up to the Pointe. She hung the leis on the shepherd’s hook (which was perfect for them, by the way) and then made her way over to her seat. I thought it fitting that she be the one to carry them out to the ceremony seeing as how she had spent some seriously long weekends helping me make those suckers! :lol:

And then it happened... the fireworks from the Cinderella Castle forecourt stage show shot up into the sky! I am serious. Pinch me... somebody please pinch me. I thought it was so cool that it happened before Brett turned around because that meant he saw it, too! If that’s not a sign to start walking down the aisle to the love of your life then I don’t know what is. The timing of it couldn’t have been more spot on if it had been planned.

We're getting married!!!!!

HollyBelle · May 10, 2011

I remember Karen giving us the sign to go ahead and start walking (though I really wish she wasn’t in our shot :lol

…

I’m glad it was a long “aisle” because, for the first half, I was wrapped up in the moment with my dad. I was never that little girl who dreamed about her wedding day all throughout childhood. The only vision I could ever see of my wedding, prior to meeting Brett, was that of my dad walking me down the aisle. It was probably the most emotional part of the whole day for me. The long aisle was a blessing because it allowed me to compose myself and take in those little moments.

I almost forgot to mention that I walked down the aisle to “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes.” Hence, the trip report title! I honestly didn’t even hear it. In fact, later on while we were eating cake I think I even asked if it was played. I’ve seen Sunset Pointe weddings where the violinist walks along behind/beside the bride and her father, but our violinist stayed up at the end of the Pointe. I don’t know if that’s why I didn’t hear the song or if I was simply in my own little bubble world. Of course, anytime I hear the song now, my eyes well up... with happy tears. :cry:

HollyBelle · May 10, 2011

As for the ceremony, I’ve decided to include it and let it speak for itself (it’s in purple) because in some ways, to me you are all guests at our wedding.

However, I just can’t resist including some “editor’s notes” here and there (they'll be in black).

“On behalf of Holly and Brett I would like to thank each of you for attending this wedding celebration. You are indeed participating in one of the happiest moments of their lives. For Holly and Brett your very presence here as family not only heightens the beauty of this moment, but it also completes it."

""We are gathered here today to witness the coming together of two people. Two people whose hearts and spirits are already entwined as one. In fact, those of you who know Holly and Brett best, can also attest to their love for one another and to the blended hopes, dreams and goals that they share. When such a bond exists of this magnitude, then it is only appropriate that we have an open public demonstration of their love such as this wedding ceremony. And so it is that Holly and Brett now will profess before God and their family, of their desire to henceforth walk the road of life together.”

“Brett, do you take this woman to be your wedded wife, to live together in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others keep yourself only for her so long as you both shall live?”

“I Do.”

Oh, hello there, Space Mountain!

“Holly, do you take this man to be your wedded husband, to live together in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him in sickness and in health; and forsaking all others keep yourself only for him so long as you both shall live?”

“I Do.”

“Throughout time and tradition, it has always been the distinct honor and privilege for someone to present the bride in marriage. Who presents Holly in marriage today?”

“Her Mother and I present her with honor.”

“Holly and Brett have asked me to publicly express their love and appreciation to you, their parents, for all the love and guidance you have given them. It is through you, that they have learned the meaning of the words love, honor, and respect. It is with these gifts that you have bestowed upon them-they will now come to share and exchange with each other. It is a tribute to you that they now stand here before us. For it is not just their love for each other that has brought them to this point-but it is also your love for them. For that, they say thank you.”

HollyBelle · May 10, 2011

“Just as Holly’s hand is presented in marriage, we would like to take a moment to bless the hands of Holly and Brett. For it is through the hands that we demonstrate our love and commitment to one another. Holly and Brett, please face each other and join both hands so that we may bless them.”

“Holly and Brett, these are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you. They are being held by yours on this, your wedding day, as you promise to love each other for the rest of your lives. These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as together you build your future, as you share your innermost secrets and dreams together."

"These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you throughout the years, and with the slightest touch will comfort you like no other. These are also the hands that will hold you when fear or grief threatens to overwhelm you. These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it the most. These are the very hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes; tears of sorrow and tears of joy."

"These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children. These are the hands that will help you to hold your family together as one. And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch."

"God, bless these hands that you see before you this day. May they always be held by one another. Keep them tender and gentle as they nurture each other in their wondrous love. Help these hands to continue building a relationship founded in your grace. May Holly and Brett see their four hands as healer, protector, shelter and guide. We ask this in your name, Amen.”

"Yooohooo, Danny, I know those searaycers are tempting, but the ceremony is over here!" :wave:

HollyBelle · May 10, 2011

“Holly and Brett as you prepare to pledge your vows to each other, let me remind you that no other vows are more sacred, no other words are more tender than those you are about to assume. May these vows only be broken by death, and may you both live a very long and happy life together."

"As a symbol of your union, will you now join hands and look into the eyes of the one you love and repeat after me.”

“I, Brett, take you, Holly, to be my wedded wife
To have and to hold, from this day forward
For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer
In sickness and in health, to love and to cherish
As long as we both shall live, this is my promise to you.”

“I, Holly, take you, Brett, to be my wedded husband
To have and to hold, from this day forward
For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer
In sickness and in health, to love and to cherish
As long as we both shall live, this is my promise to you.”

I adore this picture… mostly because it’s the only shot that shows how truly intimate our ceremony really was. And it showcases the beauty and grandness of Sunset Pointe so well.

becanya · May 10, 2011

Oh my, Holly...I feel like I'm getting married all over again. I love the mix of traditional with personalized...I love the views, and I love the smile on your Brett's face! So amazing. I'm so proud for you that everything finally came together after months of planning. Just think of all the things that could have gone wrong! You could have gotten the stomach flu!!!! But it went off perfectly. :sohappy:

Disneyfalcon · May 10, 2011

That last picture is totally gorgeous! As are several others!!

Oh, and you can easily photoshop Karen out of that pic!!:lookaroun

HollyBelle · May 10, 2011

At this moment, as Brett was getting our rings out of the bag, I was thinking “Really? We’re exchanging rings already? We can’t be, that is sooooooooooo not possible. Didn’t we just start?” Throughout the whole ceremony I kept trying to ground myself in the moment and I think I did a fairly good job of it. In fact, I vividly remember hearing the horns from the boats out on Seven Seas Lagoon (something Brett said he never heard) and out of the corner of my eye at one point I noticed that there was an inordinately large number of searaycers on the water. Honestly, I think they may have been parked. Like they were at the drive-in! :lol: Kenzie? Kelly? Nicole? Were you out there, ladies?!?

“These two rings are made of precious metals and stones to represent the precious love between Holly and Brett. They are inscribed with the word Ohana, which means no one gets left behind or forgotten, and represents the family that Holly and Brett have become. They are also circular to represent the unbroken circle of love. For love that is freely given has no beginning and no end. May these rings always remind you that your love is never-ending.”

“Brett, please take Holly’s ring and place it on her left ring finger to seal your commitment of love, and repeat after me.”

“I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness. I give you my promise to share every smile, every tear and every dream I have with you. I give you all that I am, and all that I will be, from this moment on. You are my person, my Ohana!”

“Holly, please take Brett’s ring and place it on his left ring finger to seal your commitment of love, and repeat after me.”

“I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness. I give you my promise to share every smile, every tear and every dream I have with you. I give you all that I am, and all that I will be, from this moment on. You are my person, my Ohana.”

Apparently, the attack of the sea gulls was about to take place behind me as we were exchanging rings. Brett said he saw them getting closer and closer and closer and closer. It's almost like Jason intuitively knew what Brett was thinking and snapped a shot.

erstwo · May 10, 2011

I love your wedding! So glad I could attend!

I have 16 people coming over for dessert and 2 kids to ship off to two different rehersals, but do I care that I'm still sitting here in my tshirt and shorts? Noooooo....... please post more!!!! and fast.....:lookaroun

PS - sorry about wearing a tshirt to your wedding

HollyBelle · May 10, 2011

“Marriage is not only the joining together of two people but is also the joining of their families. In Hawaii, the giving of a lei is an expression of Aloha and appreciation. Holly and Brett would now like to symbolize the joining of their two families by presenting each other’s family members and each other with leis.”

I love this picture. I know there was only one of Jason and things moved rather quickly so he couldn’t get pictures of everything, but I wish he would’ve gotten one of Brett presenting the leis to my parents, as well.

"Danny, hey Dannnnnnny, we’re still over here… I promise it’s almost over!" :lol:

“How’s this work?!”

"Hooray"

Sometime during the epic making of the leis, mom and I realized it would be hard for Brett to put a lei on me with a veil on. So we decided to fashion my lei with a nice little magnetic clasp. Brett had some trouble with it, but in fairness to him, he asked for a trial run before the wedding and we never got around to it. I would probably suggest an impromptu rehearsal even for the smallest of ceremonies. There were other things that probably could’ve benefited from this as well. But, no worries, because I love how everything turned out.

I love, love, love the leis. I couldn't have been happier with them, especially after seeing how they "popped" immediately once everyone had them on!

jhoff3405 · May 10, 2011

Stunning, beautiful & breathtaking are great adjectives to describe you, Brett, your families, your vows, etc. Such joy and love!!

I have SO enjoyed reading thus far!!

joanna71985 · May 10, 2011

Eeeek! I love the wedding pictures! They are beautiful, and I feel like I'm there with you (just looking at them).

“May you always need one another, not so much to fill the emptiness as to help each other know your fullness. May you succeed in all the important ways with each other, and not fail in the little graces. Find things to praise, often say, “I love you” and take no notice of small faults. May you have happiness, and may you find it in making one another happy. May you have love, and may you find it in loving one another."

"Holly and Brett, may your marriage bring you all the exquisite excitement that a marriage should bring. And may life grant you patience, tolerance and understanding."

"Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other. Now there will be no loneliness, for each of you will be companion to the other. Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before you. May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead and through all the years. May happiness be your companion and your days together be good and long upon the earth."

"Holly and Brett, you have pledged your lives and souls to one another in our presence; therefore by the authority vested in me by the State of Florida, I now pronounce you husband and wife. What God has joined together let no one put asunder."

“Brett, you may kiss your beautiful bride.”

“Ladies and Gentlemen, with the greatest of pleasure I present to you for the first time as husband and wife... Mr. and Mrs. Hollybelle!!!”

Our recessional song was “Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride.” It was perfectly upbeat and sounded great on the violin. Not only that… hello, let’s not forget where we were!

meganw1985 · May 10, 2011

I am so totally sitting here crying! It's so beautiful!

I am also cracking up at the commentary.

So I'm ultimately glad that I'm home alone, or else my fiancee would think I'm crazy.

That was so beautiful!! You looked stunning in your gown. I wish you both the happiness of a lifetime.

YAY! It really did all come together perfectly. The "pinch me" comments were no joke. Thanks for the compliments on the ceremony, striking that balance was definitely important to me. Funny you mention that about getting sick, a couple days before we left my mom wasn't feeling well and when she went to the doctor they told her she had walking pneumonia.

She was an absolute trooper.

I totally hadn't even thought about photoshopping her out... I just looked at the picture. It really wouldn't be that hard, especially considering she's standing against a textured solid color background. Excellent idea, Tammy!

We'll have to put Hoop-Dee-Do on the list, maybe if just for the sangria I've read so much about. :lol:

Good! I was hoping the commentary would lighten it up a little bit. It can be intense if you just read the purple text. :ROFLOL:

Tell the fiance, his turn is coming!

It was funny because after the ceremony when we were standing around eating cake, I mentioned how it was hard not to bust out laughing when I heard the boat horns and Brett was like, "What horns?! All I could focus on were the birds eyeballing us like we were going to be target practice!" :lol:
