George's Wedding

Recently we took a quick and hectic weekend down to Orlando (see another post on our day at Disney World).  Todd's family friend, George Gadiel, got married at the Grand Floridian Resort at Disney, and the wedding ceremony itself was held in a chapel that was set up just for weddings.  There were about 50 people in attendance and the whole procedure really professional from start to finish.  We had a great time.  

As family and friends gathered, we sat with George's oldest sister Jennifer and her family, including her adorable and very smart daughter Ellen.

This is George, heading up the aisle. 
Here is the whole bridal party with the reverend as they wait for the arrival of the bride.
And here she is, with her proud papa. 
Look how happy George is to see Barb!
The happy couple takes their vows.  
Just peeking over the trees is the main building of the Grand Floridian, as seen from the wedding chapel.  
The cheerful crowd showers Mr. and Mrs. George Gadiel with petals!

There is the limo to take the newlyweds to the reception and in the background you can see the chapel.

They had a lovely cake topped with a dancing couple on top. 
The Disney effects included fun graphics projected on to the wall behind the dais.

The reception kicked off with the first dance right after the wedding party was introduced. 

After the dance the bride and groom enjoyed the reception from the dais.

Here we are at the reception.

And another one at the reception. 
Just after the wedding, a shot with the Parkins and the wedding couple.

And here we are taking advantage of the picture perfect view (except for the overzealous wind) outside the chapel.  That tiny spire in the background is the Disney castle.
