{A Disney Wedding with a Dash of Hogwarts}

Well, hey there, friends! I'm baaaack! Home, safe and sound from Orlando. 

We had such a great time--it was quite a quick trip, but we made the most of every moment and soaked in as much fun as possible!

Between the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, wedding, and other festivities, we only had time to go to one or two parks, so we chose Islands of Adventure (which I'm totally okay with--we went to Disney last summer, so choosing to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was easy peasy!) Luckily, Andrew loves Harry Potter as much as I do, so we had a blast riding roller coasters and acting like little kids on our free day! 

Here's a little recap in pictures, through the iPhone, of course. 

Our day at Harry Potter World:

{stop reading here if you think Harry Potter is ridiculous...}

I squealed like a little kid with the first sight of Hogwarts...I spoke in a British accent for most of the day...I tried Butterbeer (delish, but oh, so sweet)...My wand chose me at Olivander's...We came home with chocolate frogs, Bertie Bott's, and Whizzing Whizbee's...I may be sporting a Gryffindor jersey as I type...and there may be a Snitch sitting on my dresser, too. I'm telling you, we lived it up. And I loved every second of it.

The rehearsal dinner was at The Living Seas in Epcot...so fun and so unique! There's nothing quite like a Disney wedding. We had such a great time! Too bad I only got pictures of people...

The wedding was at the Wedding Pavilion on Disney's grounds...beautiful and perfect! If you looked down the middle aisle, you could see Cinderella's castle across the lake. GORGEOUS. I wish I had brought my camera in with me, but only got pictures afterwards.

The reception was in a grand ballroom at Disney's Boardwalk Resort...Disney knows how to do a wedding, I can tell you that. The food was divine, the dance floor was fantastic, and fun was had by all, without a doubt! We ended the night with a surprise from the bride and groom--a trip to Epcot to see the big firework show! It was such a great night.

We're home and somewhat rested now, missing Orlando and all of our friends already, though! Now I'm off to play with my wand and drink some coffee out of my Marauder's map mug, so I'll catch ya later! Hope your Monday is fantastic, girls! Love you all.

Stay tuned this week for a little Valentine's love, a fun and easy DIY, a must-read product review, and more!
