An Enchanted, Fairytale Wedding!

If you know me, you know I LOVE LOVE Disneyland and all things Disney. We went quite often growing up as a child, I lived in FLorida after college to work in the Walt Disney World Internship, and have visited both Disney parks in Tokyo. I still even have my autograph book from the 1980's; I think I was obsessed with characters. So when Ashley and Will asked me to coordinate their wedding in Disneyland, I was floored!

But I don't believe I'm as huge as fan as Ashley and Will. It was Tokyo Disneyland were Will had proposed, Disneyland where they exchanged their vows, and a Disney cruise to the caribbean where they celebrated their honeymoon.

I loved everything about their wedding. Ashley rode to the ceremony in style; Cinderella's enchanted coach, complete with white horse, three footmen, and Cinderella's glass slipper that held the rings. Ashley and Will are such a fun couple, totally Disney and very animated. There was a lot of singing during the wedding, including a duet to each other as they made their Grand Entrance into the ballroom. My favorite part has to be cake cutting with Mickey and Minnie; they are just so cute! Will put together a cardbox, made entirely of legos, complete with Sleeping Beauty's castle and Mickey Mouse!

What was most impressive was the paper model centerpieces that Ashley and Will put together along with their wedding party. Hundreds of hours went into crafting these models, each representing landmarks at Disneyland. I just can't believe how much time and effort it took to make these, and then transport them from the Bay Area to Southern California. Such dedication.

Their programs were modeled after the old Disneyland ride tickets; denoting A, B, C, D for rides, where certain rides needed a certain letter ticket to ride, depending on popularity.

I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Ashley and Will on their Disney wedding. It was absolutely UH-MAZING, a real, enchanted, Fairytale wedding! THank you Ashley and Will !!
