Finally, rehearsal is over and done with. Everyone knows where to stand, what to do during the ceremony, who reads what. What we kept a secret, even from the bridal party was the blessing of the hands, the rose presentation and the dove release. Eugene, me, Laura and Rev. Jack were the only ones privy to this information.

The character brunch at Chef Mickey's was truly fun! Not only were the kids in the bridal party having their pictures taken with the mascots, even the adults were busy posing and snapping away! I hardly had the time to enjoy the food, as we were busy twirling our napkins and having fun. They even gave us a celebratory cupcake, since they noticed we were wearing the Mickey & Minnie bridal ears. There were some kids in the restaurant that had their pictures taken with us. They must've mistaken us to be part of the character brunch! After such an entertaining brunch, we all went our separate ways, as everybody wanted to go to different parks. I opted to just go back to the resort and take it easy. Gown steaming was also scheduled at 2:30 p.m. while Eugene & his brother had their tux fittings so we all headed to the resort. Eugene & I agreed that I would just stay in the resort for the rest of the afternoon, while he will go to the park with his familya sort of bonding time for them.

Paul Allen was on time and he was sooo nice! I chatted him up, of course (being the talkative person that I am) and he was just friendly!

With everybody in the different parks, I had the time to be on my own. I watched television until my high school friend dropped by to chat. She stayed for two hours and then I was off again on my own. By dinnertime, I went to the food court, ate dinner by myself and then went back to my room. I visited my grandaunts & granduncles in their room and chatted with them for an hour. When I got back to my room, my voicemail was bombarded with messages! Everybody was looking for me! They called me in my room; no one answered the phone of course. My sister went to see where I was and saw my room was in total darkness. Turns out everybody, especially Eugene, were getting panicky! Missing bride on the eve before her wedding day! There were TONS of messages! It was hilarious! They thought I snapped from the stress and tension that happened in the few weeks before the wedding that I ran away!

As if I can run far enough and why would I? The fairytale wedding we wanted was just HOURS away!

Lesson? Never, NEVER disappear the night before your wedding. If you will, you'll be in for a lot of laughs!!!
