So he gathered all of the Disney stuff we had in the apartment and made a huge display on out kitchen table. He lit a bunch of candles and had the opening menu of the Snow White DVD playing on the tv (the part where it's the magical mirror talking) and had it all waiting for me when I got home from work. When I came in I thought that it was just all done in excitement for the upcoming trip, until I saw the ring sitting around the spire at the top of the Pinocchio snowglobe It was still an amazing Disney proposal. And then we did a full week in Disneyland at the Grand Californian for the honeymoon. Yup, definitely a crazy Disney couple

I posed for a picture with her at the castle and then one with my son to give boyfriend a chance to take off with her for the well. We stayed back until he was up off his knee and they were hugging and then I sent photographer over. He got some good shots and then had them re-inact the proposal. DD didn't believe it was for real--she was in shock! We used the photo pass deal to take lots of pictures over the trip so they can be used at the reception. Lulu, she is older than your daughter, but not by much! I married at 29--she will beat me by 10 years! I wish she had more life experiences behind her, but as I said, they are determined, have dated 2 years, and truly are well suited. He is 23 and a real gem. Ursula--that's the one--only daughter I've got! I'll get a couple of the pictures done so I can send you some. She remembers you very well and wanted to be your adopted neice. If you want to be in Salt Lake the middle of July she would be thrilled to have you come. Guess we know what I'll be doing for the next few months---

It's worth asking about... I know that it's booked as far as overnight stays, but a few minute's use might be a possibility during the "Year of a Million Dreams".

I went there two weeks ago for a formal event, and they helped me find a dress in an hour. And yes, pictures please!!!!! Send your daughter my love!

Also my photographer was incredible. I would love to give you numbers and names in you would like them...And don't worry--I got it all for GREAT prices! I did a lot of research and pricing for all of it because I did not want to compromise quality. I got the best of both worlds!!!!!

Originally Posted By chickapin We are up to our ears in planning! She knew exactly what she wanted for her dress and is being measured next week. It is being made. The religious ceremony will take place in the morning and is quite small. The reception that evening will be the big celebration. It's kind of an open house type deal--come and stay as long as you want. There will be dancing toward the end and we hope everyone will just have a good time. I have a great video guy doing a video with childhood pictures of both of them and then lots of them the past couple of years. The photographer I had planned to use (she is fabulous!) may not be able to do it as her son is very ill. If she cannot, I may be looking for suggestions. I am not very talented in getting pictures to a site but I think I can get some help with that this weekend, so I will get somoe for you to see. Thanks to all of you for being interested--it is fun to share our joy!

Originally Posted By cinderella143also It sounds like my wedding! The religoius ceremony was nice and small in the morning and then we had a big party/reception/open house. We actually had both a reception and an open house-each in a different place. I had my dress custom done as well and I was so, so, so happy with it. Is she getting married in Salt Lake?

I don't have a single recording of the Disney harp music that played as I walked down the aisle.
