The McChangho Wedding


Congratulations Kathy and Billy!!!!



Can you tell that we are excited that Kathy and Billy finally tied the knot? 

Today we headed up to Orlando for their wedding.  It was a lovely day! A beautiful ceremony... and a "never gonna forget this evening" reception.

Because Kevin had to work the night before we left Saturday morning (missing all of the events the day before).  Traffic was insane on US1 for 9am on Saturday.  It actually took us 45 minutes to get to 95 instead of the 20 it would normally take.  So needless to say we were booking it to Orlando to make it for the 2pm ceremony.  Our goal was to take the bus from the hotel.  Which according to the email Kathy sent out was leaving at 12:30pm. 

It was a fun intense trip up.  At one point I even asked Kevin if we needed to could he get dressed in the car.  haha... But to make a long story short we made it on time.  We didn't make the bus.  But we were able to check into our room, get dressed and head out to the church.  

After the ceremony (which was lovely... and shorter than normal Irish Catholic Mass Weddings) we headed to the Grand Floridian.  It was a wonderful reception right by the beach.  In fact half the wedding guest ended up walking in the sand, lounging in the Beach Chairs, or playing in the water (the adorable flower girls and Bride).

After dinner we headed to the marina where Kathy and Billy had their dessert reception with a view of the Magic Kingdoms fireworks display.  And since it was the anniversary of the park opening there was an extra special fireworks display.  

We were talking with Kathy when the Disney Staff started escorting everyone over so we were one of the first guest to see the set up... and It totally took my breath away.  I actually turned to Kevin and said "They just topped our reception!"  

It was such an honor to be there for Kathy and Billy.  To be a part of their special day.  And even though Kathy blames us for the Fairy Tale Wedding Bill... I think (and still do) their weddings are worth every penny.

Congrats again.... :)
