So we have changed our minds once again about the wedding, but I think this one is the most magical idea we've come up with. Yes, I am talking about having our wedding at Disney World. What could be better? I grew up with Disney as a kid, and I had some of the best memories at the park. It is true what they say: it's practically impossible to be unhappy at Disney. So what better place to celebrate one of the most important days in your life?
We are keeping orange and aqua as our colors with hints of purple and white. For the ceremony site, we are going to Epcot Morocco. We both love that it's exotic and would transport our guests to a whole new world (pun intended). For the reception, we are going under the sea with the Living Seas Parlor, also in Epcot.
I know there must be some speculation on how we're going to afford this, and I can say that it is possible to have a Disney wedding on a budget. First off, we're going to have a lunch reception at noon. Having a lunch or breakfast reception is much cheaper than dinner. Also, it allows our guests to see the rest of the park after we finished. With the guests, we can get them discounts on rooms and tickets, possibly more if we book them through AAA (and since we'll be residents of Florida, we can get more discounts). Speaking of guests, we're not planning on having that many people there. To get what we want, we need at least twenty people (including us) there. With decorations, we will make most of them. Seeing as we're probably going to be living in Orlando, we can easily transport centerpieces and decorations to Disney. We're also going to do the stationery (invitations, save-the-dates, place cards, menus, etc). Darren is working on that part. Perhaps the best way to save money is for us going in the off season. That means not going around any holidays or during the summer. It may take some planning to choose a right time that most of the people we want there to come, but we will figure it out.
We're very excited to make this happen. Hopefully this will be the last big change we make about our wedding. What we're hoping for is to have a memorable time and that our guests never forget it.
