Locations: Wilderness Lodge, BoardWalk, Beach Club
Photographer: Randy Chapman
Notes: Teresa and Greg met in may of 2011 when they were both planning on taking solo trips to Disney World in early June. They first chatted on the Disboards and finally agreed to talk on the phone. When the time for the trips came around they officially met June 4th at Disney's Hollywood studios during star wars weekends. They have been inseparable ever since. They officially started dating July 1, 2011 this is important as they will be making their lifetime commitment to each other through marriage on that very same day 1 year later and in the same place that started it all. They got engaged exactly 3 months later on October 1, 2011 at the Marina of the Contemporary Resort. When they decided to spend their first Christmas together at Disney they decided to take their engagement pictures there too as it only seemed fitting.

Disney Proposal Story: Angela + Brandon

2012-01-27T09:49:00.001-07:00

Photos: Danusia Rogacki

I'm the big Disney nut and my fiance Brandon likes it enough that we've been on 5 trips there in 4 years of dating, but he wouldn't be into it without me. We went on the Disney Dream cruise in February as part of the WDW Radio Cruise along with my best friend and her family. Little did I know that they had planned my proposal along with Lou Mongello and Beci Mahnken (owner of MEI/Mouse Fan Travel) for months before the trip.

The morning of our first full day on board the WDW Radio group had a welcome meeting in the Walt Disney Theater. I should have clued in when Brandon tried to insist we dress up for the meeting, which I thought was silly since we were going to the beach that day. I now regret that I was dressed in my beach bum clothing, but I had no clue as to what was coming! During the meeting Lou accounced they were going to be doing a Disney trivia contest to win some sketches done by Disney animators and the contestants would be randomly selected from a list of our group. Well, to my delight I was "randomly selected" third!

I never win anything and I'm also a huge trivia fan in general (Brandon and I are on a trivia team back home even) so I was super excited. I got up on stage and was given my question: "Name all of Walt Disney's Nine old men." I thought maybe Lou was joking, but he insisted this was my question... yikes! Finally he agreed that I could bring someone up to help me, so I excitedly tried to bring up my best friend, who is an even bigger Disney fan than me! Lou and Beci both said NO! and asked me who else I was with on my trip, and when I mentioned Brandon Beci said that he should come up "because boys are more fun to make fun of". I wasn't too happy about this and kind of groaned and said "ohhhh Brandon doesn't know anything!" right into the microphone.

Brandon gets up there are I'm thinking, "Great, if I don't know, he won't know... this is just embarrassing." Lou hands the mike to Brandon and Brandon says that I'm right and he can't help me out with the question, but he thinks he has a better one for me, and then all of a sudden he's on one knee and is holding a ring out, and everyone is clapping! I was so surprised!

I later found out that my friend and her entire family, Lou, Beci and my travel agent, Leslie, had all been in on it before the trip even started! My friend gave me a "Just Engaged" button she had ready for us, and at dinner that night our server gave us the "Just Married" and "Happy Anniversary" buttons to ensure we come back for our honeymoon and first year anniversary too (we re-booked the cruise for our honeymoon while still on the trip!). Brandon is not the kind of guy who plans surprises typically so I was just so floored that he planned something so big and made an entire trivia contest happen just for me! I'm just so lucky :)

Locations: Grand Californian - Wedding Garden and Wisteria Room, Disneyland

Hair/Makeup: Mayra De Leon
Floral: Arranged through Disney
Adventure Book, Mailbox, and Cake Topper: Made by bride
Notes: I planned our Disneyland Wedding in 5 months start to finish. We spent just over $5000 with Disney, and did as much DIY as we could (including flying down to California a week before the wedding to put together all of the floral that wasn't included in the Escape package.) We ended up having an absolutely amazing wedding, and could not have been happier with our big day (or the price!) We also did a Disneyland/California Adventure park shoot the afternoon of our wedding and I've included a couple photos from that. It was so much fun! I had a less formal white dress and wore my wedding headpiece and jewelry, and the groom wore his dress shirt from his wedding suit. It was great!

Disney Proposal Story: Kristina + Dan

2012-01-20T17:33:00.002-07:00

Location: Magic Kingdom - Rose Garden, Epcot - UK Pavilion
Photography: Disney Fine Art Photography and Video

We were planning a road trip to Disney in celebration of Dan finishing a project at work (or so I thought)...

I packed the entire car including both suitcases- the only thing Dan packed was his laptop case (this was not unusual). I had suspected that there was a possibility Dan could ask me to marry him but I didn't really think it would happen, there wasn't any information around the house and he wasn't acting any differently. If he was going to ask on this trip I knew the ring would be in his laptop case. We left early on a Sunday morning and stopped in Washington D.C. to get D.C. cupcakes and lunch, Dan took the laptop case with him out of the car- I was very suspicious. After our fabulous cupcakes and a very long line, we continued the haul all the way to Florida.

One note about the pictures: My dad is a general contractor and built a cool photo wall for my guests to take pictures of. The frames were all filled with old family photos from both sides of the family. There were three empty frames for guests to poke their heads through and take pictures with. It was really fun. I included a cute guests photo to give you an idea.

Erin + Rick's Walt Disney World Wedding (Part Four)

2012-01-17T15:29:00.003-07:00

Today's posts come to us from Disney Wedding Blog Mentor Cassie with photos from Root Photography:

Just a hop skip and jump from the Yacht Club Gazebo was the Luncheon at the Boardwalk Croquet Lawn. We strived for a nostalgic, colorful garden party with lawn games.

DIY signs guided guests to the Croquet Lawn.

Instead of traditional escort cards, Impressions created pink and orange polka dots – have you caught the theme??

From the very beginning Erin knew she wanted two things for the reception. 1) Mickey Ear Hat favors. 2) Roman tables. We looked at the number of guests and decided that it would be fun to do two Roman tables with a “hidden Mickey” in the middle. Erin and Rick very appropriately were seated at the head of the head table.

We made the ballroom diagram in photoshop and printed it ourselves. We also painted the picture frame to match.

Erin + Rick's Walt Disney World Wedding (Part Three)

Today's posts come to us from Disney Wedding Blog Mentor Cassie with photos from Root Photography:

Erin wanted her wedding to be the epitome of colorful. Flowers to decorate this space would have cost an arm and a leg. We needed a less expensive alternative. The answer? Paper poms!! They gave us the colorful look we were going for on a budget that we could work with. We gave the florist very detailed pictures of exactly what we wanted. It turned out perfectly! We honestly could not have been any happier.
