| Ok, so that's Pluto, not Mickey |
Since all but one of my bridesmaids lived on the east coast, it seemed best for them too. After all, I was already making them fly to Vegas for the wedding!
I wanted to drink around the world at Epcot and then the rest was up to them.
When I was deployed, I ordered a bolt of tulle and some elastic and got to work making myself a fabulous skirt for my party (yes, I got a few funny looks walking around with a thing of tulle heading back to my dorm). It was incredibly easy to make, if not a bit time consuming, and I have decided that I would like a reason to wear it on a regular basis.
Oh, and I made myself a nifty flower crown too =)
I have to say, I was really surprised at how many people got that I was a bride to be without me wearing any bridal sash or decorations. It was almost like, this grown woman is wearing a tutu and a crown...the only explanation can be she is getting married, or she lost a bet...
Epcot was actually in the middle of its international food festival when we were there, so we ended up doing a bit more eating than drinking (oh hey wedding diet...)
It was fun being with a bunch of girlfriends and acting like kids. I only wish we had a couple more hours in the park!
Afterwards we headed back to the condo to change for dinner and dancing.
I opted out of the tutu for the evening and slipped into a fun Herve Leger dress.
We ate a cute Tapas restaurant that I can't remember the name of all these months later and then went to one piano bar (that was awful and full of middle aged men) so we left and went to Jellyrolls - Disney's own piano bar.

Somewhere between dinner and the bar, we lost half of the bridesmaids as the decided they wanted me to look like a bachelorette after all and got me a veil and sash...and a bouquet of daisies that I had to generously distribute to the men in the bar.
There was a game involving tequila too. I had about 7-8 shots I think we decided and was surprisingly coherent (which I attribute to drinking a glass of water for every shot).

Oh and Joey Fatone from NSync was there too. The tequila got the best of me and I told him that Lance was my favorite and it was a bummer he was gay. I also told Joey I was sorry he was fighting with his wife all night. Good job tequila, you get one chance at your pre-teen dream and you go with that. *face palm*

All in all, I would say it was a success. We were all in surprisingly decent shape the next morning but decided to down a hearty meal at Cracker Barrel just in case.
