[wallyb]

looking at it on my iPhone - but I think
They did a great job Rob.
The most important this is that you're
happy with it.

I like the mushy ones best.
:lovestruc
And the group shots are fun too.

[MegKate]

That book is awesome Rob! It's the best thing since bread came sliced! :thumbsup2

Randy does great work!!

[STOCKYJIM]

[Saxton]

I love the pictures. :thumbsup2 You and Scott look so happy in all of them.

So what did I miss? Is Rosie calling people fat again?

[kingLouiethe1]

Is that what you thought of after seeing Rob's pictures?

Rob, I think Saxton is picking up Rosie's mean habits :confused3

Et tu Louie? :sad2:

It's not going to work. Rob and I share a bond since we've both been the target of Rosie's comments.

That's right! We've bonded in our pain of Rosie's merciless tauntings. :sad2:

[IntheKnow]

It's always nice to hear when you create a new design, and it's well recieved. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it, and it was another nice part of your perfect day.

We loved the cake! :yay: We didn't design it, though. It was a design that Disney had on Display and we just loved it from the moment we saw it.

It was perfect for us, and it tasted amazing!:banana:

And it fit the venue perfectly. Atlantic Dance was one of the inspirations for the design, along with Busby Berkley movies from the 30's, depression era art pottery, and the Chicago worlds fair of 1936.:wizard:

[WDW1st-timers]

:rolleyes1I know ...I know.....I'm alittle late on joining the thread train and now it's been a year since you two got married. Congrats!!!!:thumbsup2:thumbsup2 Now it's time for me to go back and read it all and check out the pics. Both of you looked amazing from the few pics that I did see.

Well then. I guess since I'm fan of all those things, it played a part in why I liked that cake so much! :thumbsup2

Rob and Scott,

Happy Anniversary! I started reading your thread around 10pm and now it's 1am and I can't see straight anymore. I don't even remember what I was orginally looking for! :surfweb:

Congratulations on your 1st Anniversary! We always vacation the last week of September and I wonder if we crossed paths at all. I have really loved reading your story and I wish you many years of happiness.

Now then - WallyB - you are just hysterical, but I'm a little worried about how close by you are to me....I'm about 30 minutes from Boston proper and think I may need to move....:flower3:

[tecodis]

Just came across your wedding story. Thanks for taking the time to share it!

A belated CONGRATULATIONS to you both with many happy years ahead. How great it must be to meet the love of your life, at the place you love...Disney!!!

Wow!
:banana:

[SunnieRN]

Wow!!! I followed the link from your signature and really enjoyed reading this tonight, errr this morning.

It nade me go: :goodvibes :lmao: :rotfl: :headache:to wedding crashers :banana::woohoo: to your vows and ceremony pictures :dance3::cool1: to your dancing picures and :scared1:to Wally and Mike (at times),

Thanks for a really great read and so many awesome pictures! :love: your wedding rings, naked ankles and Tolliver!!!

Also enjoyed your Mom and sisters comments!

:thumbsup2 Thanks again

[MegB]

Hi again Rob & Scott (Wally - I would never forget to mention you too!)

Just wanted to say thank you again for sharing your story. I really enjoyed reading about your wedding. But I just wanted to let you know that I decided to hire Randy when we come down for this September's vacation. I had never seen his work before and once I saw his photograghs of your wedding, well I just had to hire him.

I had originally hired the Disney photo people to do our family portraits, but was having doubts that they'd get what I wanted in 20 minutes. Especially with a easily distracted 2 year old who couldn't care less if she's being photographed.

So I scrapped the Disney people and hired Randy Chapman yesterday. I wanted to do something really special for my parents 25th wedding anniversary, so we're having family portraits taken, going to a few special restaurants and the Pirates and Pals fireworks cruise on our last night.

I just wanted to thank you for sharing your photos and I'll let Randy know how we got the referral for his services.

If our shots are only half as good as yours they will be awesome!

Sorry about all the lost sleep. :rotfl2: And for the emotional rollercoaster it appears that you've been on. :lmao: And most especially for the trauma you no doubt suffered from the exposure to Wally. :rotfl:

Actually, Rob ate that the week after the wedding and replaced it with a cheese log so Scott wouldn't notice :rolleyes1

The you what is gonna hit the fan over there in not very long.

[rpmdfw]

Hey, isn't it almost time to drag that stale old top of the cake out of the freezer? :confused3

Have you not been paying attention?

We didn't freeze the top layer. And we celebrate our anniversary in June the way we always have, despite having the party last September.

:headache: I'm sure I've explained all of this before . . . .

[wallyb]

:headache: I'm sure I've explained all of this before . . . .

WE DON"T LISTEN TO YOU.
It's just a series of clicks and squawks

Have you not been paying attention?

Was I supposed to pay attention to the details!

Sigh....

Pass the cheese log! :sad2:

I too have been lurking over the past 2 days and have enjoyed every minute of it. Your ceremony honeymoon and family are all beautiful.

You two are a fabulous couple and I wish you both continued happiness!

Ok so I am just starting to read your TR so forgive me for jumping in so late. But I have to say this. If you and Scott are ever considering having a family, keep me in mind I will be available in a few months. OMG! Too funny but what a great start to a wonderful Ceremony. I can't wait to read it all the way though. :thumbsup2

Oh heck no! We barely manage to keep Tolliver the Doxie in line. Actual human children are out of the question! :scared:

Glad you've enjoyed reading along though! :thumbsup2

[rpmdfw]

Damn!

This year has gone by FAST!

I can't believe that the Big Fat Gay Disney Wedding was a year ago today! Before I start getting "Happy Anniversary" messages, let me remind you all that we still celebrate our anniversary on June 4th, the day of our first date.

And so much has changed in the past year!

What is it, two . . . or three more states allow gay marriage than did last year. :banana: Of course both California and Florida have passed amendments that ban gay marriages since then, as well. :sad2: Still, it seems that we're making progress, but the battle for equality will continue to be a hard-fought one. We hope to someday make our Big Fat Gay Disney Marriage a legal one in Florida. That will be a happy day, also. And when we can legally marry . . . we'll change the date we celebrate as our anniversary. :woohoo:

On a more personal level, Scott and I are so happy we did the whole Disney Wedding thing. No regrets. It was totally worth it. I'd recommend it to anyone who's thinking of it. So much fun! The Disney Fairy Tale Wedding folks were all so wonderful! The thought of our big day still brings big smiles to everyone who was there.

The only real downer is that the Adventurers Club is still closed. (and was the subject of my blog yesterday) We still really miss it, and it looks like it's going to be stripped of all artifacts starting this week so that they can be used for the new Adventurers Club restaurant at Disneyland Hong Kong. It's a criminally insane mistake to do so, as far as I'm concerned, but clearly Disney doesn't care what I think on that subject.

So here we are. A year later. But it still seems like only yesterday.

[wallyb]

And Scott's Still With you? :confused3
Go figure.:rolleyes:
Can't he find the door?
:lmao:

[rpmdfw]

Oh, he can find the door just fine!

I just removed all the door knobs! :thumbsup2

:rotfl2:

[DVC~OKW~96]

Wow! A year already?! It truly did fly by, didn't it.

It's great to know that you have no regrets for having had the wedding ceremony. ::yes::

So then, are you and Scott planning on a trip to DHK?

[rpmdfw]

So then, are you and Scott planning on a trip to DHK?

Not in the foreseeable future.

We never went to the club strictly to see the artifacts. The entertainment was what drew us in.

The Hong Kong Adventurers Club will be an in-park restaurant (possibly counter service). It's not even worthy of the name, in my opinion.

[kingLouiethe1]

:cheer2:Happy Anniversary:cheer2:

[OrlandoMike]

We hope to someday make our Big Fat Gay Disney Marriage a legal one in Florida.

:rotfl2: Thats rich!

But seriously! Happy "sort of" Anniversary! :thumbsup2

[wallyb]

Oh Yeahh!
Happy Anniversary Honey! :flower3:

I plumb forgot - I blew right out of my little blonde head. :upsidedow

[wallyb]

So any wanton debauchery planned to commemorate the Big day?
Or maybe dinner? ;)

[rpmdfw]

So any wanton debauchery planned to commemorate the Big day?

Scott's actually got a night without a rehearsal or a performance for the first time in the past two weeks.

So tonight will be dinner at home. :woohoo:

I'll be attempting a french onion risotto while Scott's in charge of grilling the steaks. Whoever has time, get's to prep the green beans. A bottle of wine, and a DVR full of shows we need to catch up on. Should be great.

The only thing I need to worry about besides dinner, Scott, & Tolliver, is a new blog post, and that shouldn't take much time.

[wallyb]

Dessert!
Dessert!
Dessert!
:eek:
Don't forget dessert!

Something with frosting for licking! :rolleyes1

[rpmdfw]

So, I got a message from our friend Renee who officiated our ceremony for us.

She also officiated the ceremony for David and Ian (the couple from the U.K. that met at Disney while working on the International program) last week.

Disney was impressed with her, and they've asked her to be added as a proferred vendor. That mean's they'll put her on the list of officiants that the Disney Fairy Tale Weddings team gives to couples as they book as suggestions. When Scott and I booked (way back in June of 2007) we asked which of the officiants on the list would perform a gay wedding, and they only had one who would do it. We never got around to calling that person, because Renee offered to officiate for us the next night when we saw her at the club. So now gay and lesbian couples have at least two options on the official suggestions from Disney! :woohoo:

We're so happy for her!

[rpmdfw]

Dessert!

Actually, I hadn't thought about dessert (how unlike me!)

Maybe it's time to break down and retrieve the last box of Girl Scout Cookies (thin mints) from the freezer.

We did NOT snicker! I don't care when you celebrate your anniversary. I wouldn't care if you want to wear the anniversary button on one ta, and the just married button on the other ta, and the birthday button on your butt.

No, we didn't get the anniversary button this week. We celebrate our anniversary in June. And that's gay days so we just wear red.

I should hope you would be :scared1: That's the only reason I hugged you. I certainly hope we get to meet someday, and if it was in Disneyworld all the better! But if you ever came to the Land I would insist we get together so you could buy me a drink.

I am so glad I wasn't there!

:scared1::scared1::scared1::scared1::scared1:

I would have been mortified if we were both wearing the same outfit :eek:

But it made me all tingly when I bent over! :rolleyes:

They're called underwear - You should try 'em sometime. :rolleyes:

Yup. That did it. That sent me into a giggle fit! :rotfl:

The major problem is that I can see you in that outfit more than I could see Rosie in it! :confused3

Hey there. I've been lurking for a bit, but I felt I had to post. Your story gives me confidence that I may someday marry the man I love, in the place that I love. Thank you very much for sharing your story.

[Timrobb]

WELCOME Christopher!

:cool1:


(just watch out for Wally!)

[DVC~OKW~96]

Welcome Christopher and what a nice thing to say to Rob.

This is going to be a bit mushy, so feel free to roll your eyes and move on... fairly warned.

Rob has shared an incredible slice of his life with us. He's been open and honest; witty, funny, irreverent, but mostly he has been real here on this thread. Genuine.

This thread stands as an example of what many in the gay community strive for, and hope to realize one day. This thread is a testament to what could be, if only the law would allow. And by "could be" I mean ONLY that the union would be sanctioned by law and therefore allow all the benefits that are attached to that legality.

The respect and love that Rob and his Husband have for each other would not be changed by law, of course!

All that to say, thank you to a man who has shared a beautiful day, yes, but oh so much more than that. He opened his life to us for a time, and showed us how beautiful it is.

So, thank you Man. You're the best. :hug:

Mush alert is now over. Return to your usual wonderfully comic selves. :teeth:

Oh, stop! You're gonna meake me blush! :cutie:

I didn't do anything special. I just rambled on (and on, and on, and on) about what we were going through as we planned, had, and recovered from our wedding. I just let you all know what was going on in my head as it was going on. And since it was overwhelmingly my perspective, I asked my mom and Scott to give their viewpoint as well; knowing that no one person clearly sees all sides of any situation or event.

Yeah, it was an honest look, but I fear more often than not it was an insane stream of consciousness ramble. But I tend to do that.

But thank you for your kind mushiness. :hug:

Oh! And Welcome Christopher! :woohoo:

[rpmdfw]

Okay, so remember seven pages back when I posted the proofs for our wedding album?

I got home from a really crappy day at work yesterday, and Scott handed me the final product.

WE HAVE OUR WEDDING ALBUM!

:woohoo::yay::woohoo::yay:

And it's GORGEOUS!!!!!! I'll try and get Scott to take some photos that we can post.

Totally worth the wait! And to be fair to Randy Chapman, it's taken as long as it has because we really dragged our feet on picking the photos we wanted, and then on whether we wanted the black leather cover or the navy pleather cover.

We still can't describe how happy we are with Randy Chapman. His work is amazing. His wife, Linda, is a joy to deal with as well, and she's guided us through the wedding album process so well.

I feel kind of silly getting this excited all over again over a year later, but it's just SO beautiful! :banana:

Hi Rob and Scott, I have a question. First, my partner and I are getting married in Disney 2/19/10 at the grand floridian. I have been looking EVERYWHERE for other disney commitment cermonies with other gay couples and I only found your wedding pictures (which were amazing btw!)

Do you guys know of any other gay couple who was married their at Disney so I may see their pictures too? Maybe on this DISboards or even a separate website?

Thank you so much
Shawn

Shawn,

First of all . . . WELCOME TO THE DIS!

Second of all . . . . CONGRATULATIONS on your upcoming wedding!

Thirdly, there's not a lot out there in terms of resources for gay couples getting married at Disney. That's a big part of why this massive detailed recap exists. We wanted to share our experiences in hopes that it would help others down the line.

That said, check here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=25629552#post25629552 for Luis and Michael's Disneyland wedding. Granted, it's a California wedding, but it's BEAUTIFUL and they've got some amazing pictures.

And here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1992140 David and Ian were just married last month at the UK Pavillion at Epcot. They don't have much in the way of wedding photos up yet, but they should be up shortly.

Also, stop by the Weddings and Honeymoons forum here on the DIS. It's full of a lot of great resources that are not specific to either straight weddings or gay weddings. Those ladies LOVE to be helpful to others. If you've got a question, they'll do their best to help you find and answer.

Have you asked your Disney Fairy Tale Weddings assigned planner about any gay wedding photos? I know that they've done at least one photo shoot featuring a gay couple (they're facebook friends of ours, and some of the shots are up on their FB page. :rotfl:) So ask Disney if they've got anything that you can see.

And please, now that you've found our little Rainbow Corner of the DIS, stick around and participate. You'll get a lot of great help from the awesome group of people we have right here on this board.

[sbreson]

PERFECT! Thank you so much! I have been looking under the Wedding section and the Gay section. I will look at the other pictures of the other weddings. I will definitly keep posting now and I will post our wedding pictures when we get married, Ralph and I.

Thanks again! Hi Everyone!
Shawn

[DVC~OKW~96]

Hi Shawn! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

I think there is another couple who were married at WDW... Rainbow Brite? I can't honestly remember, but they did have lovely photos on the site at one point.

Luis's wedding at DLP was wicked cool too. ::yes:: Hope you get some great ideas for yours. ::yes::

When you began this thread, you stated that technology was a great tool for your wedding planning. I think that the internet was so integral in the two of you coming together. It tickles me to know that I was hangin' out with the two of you when you met @ 8 Trax in 2003, however briefly.

I love, LOVE, LOVE your rings!

You did a wonderful job in planning your wedding and you and I seem to have similar taste. I call it "simple with a twist".

Have you ever watched Project Runway? A phrase that the judges frequently use comes to mind when you discussed your DJ. "I question your taste level". Pity he didn't listen to you more; but fortunate that everyone had a great time.

Finally, I love the fact that you had your priorities in order: It's all about the cake! Yummy!

Glad that things are still going swimmingly all these years later because you both are super sweet guys.

Hello~ I just have to say I stumbled across this when I searched for something (it was so many hours ago I can't even remember what that was). In the last 4 hours I've read your amazing story. I honestly laughed and cried. i feel like I was there through the whole thing. I feel like I know you and scott personally. I wish you both a life time of happiness together! Now i am off to put to bed my 4 year old and 7 month old who both fell asleep on me hours ago while I was reading.

P.S

I was surfing around & came across your post. All I can say is it took me over an hour to read everything & I laughed & cried & feel like I know you two by now. I pray your lives are blessed with happiness, health, wealth & all the goodness this world has to offer.

I hope to one day plan my daughter's wedding at Disney.

Thank you for sharing a very special part of your lives :)

I was so impressed with your wedding photographer, Randy Chapman, that I hired him for a family portrait session during our last vacation.

Thank you for sharing your story with us. I wish you much health and happiness in your marriage. :hug:

I've been feeling particularly nostalgic today. It was exactly seven years ago today that I met Scott at a GayDay.com mixer at 8-trax. I didn't realize that I'd met Prince Charming that night.

The next day, as we sat across the table from each other at breakfast. THEN I knew! :love:

[rpmdfw]

It's June 4th. "Happily Ever After" started 7 years ago today! :love:

As usual, Scott and I will be celebrating our anniversary at Gay Days at Walt Disney World. We met during Gay Days 2003.:woohoo:

I can't think of a better way to celebrate, or a better person to be spending my life with.:woohoo:

Another year on, and I'm still the luckiest man on the planet! :cool2:

[JacksLilWench]

First: I'm so happy for you both!! Your story is so amazing, I'm trying really hard to cry right now! Second: So. Totally. Jealous. of you both, lol. I want a Disney Wedding so bad, I can taste the castle cake now!

But in all seriousness, I wish you both the absolute best of luck for the future. You guys are so lucky to have found such happiness and to have committed your lives to each other in such a breathtaking location and ceremony. :lovestruc

PS Will be at Gay Days tomorrow and back at Disney in a couple weeks to celebrate our 1 year anniversary! Can't wait!

So I am very late to this party & just missed saying happy 7th anniversary to you, but I have spent the better part of the the last day & a half reading your delightful story & just had to say thank you for sharing. I have written a few trip reports myself & it's no easy task, but such a great way to relive our special trips.

You & Scott are very lucky to have found each other & also lucky to have had your special BIG FAT GAY DISNEY WEDDING!!!!!! I loved all the details & your photos are stunning.

I only got to go to the Adventurer's Club a few times & it was years ago. My DH of almost 7 years & I always planned to go on one of our Disney trips but somehow didn't thinking it would always be there to enjoy like some many others have said. Well, we waited too long & I am so sad my DH never got to experience the fun & frivolity that the AC was. We went through PI on our way to the Characters in Flight balloon in October & it was so sad to see it all so lifeless & just sitting there unused. This is how I felt about it!!!!!
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b147/Disneygrl36/IMG_1441.jpg
But, I carry the AC with me a little bit because whenever we start out on an adventure I start singing "marching along we're adventurers....." & my DH loves it!!!!!

And.........I'm rambling............thanks again Rob for sharing your story with us & I hope you & Scott have many, many years of fabulous adventures together ahead of you.:banana:

Word is that it won't be sitting there lifeless and unused for much longer. It's slated for demolition. The interior has already been stripped bare. The wrecking ball should be there soon. :sad2:

It was like somebody punched me in the stomach when I saw the pictures of the club without the artifacts on the walls. I don't even want to think how it's going to feel when the building comes down. :headache:

Oh that will be a sad day. :grouphug:I am not sure what Disney is thinking sometimes.:sad2:

Thinking? I'm not sure there was any thought involved in the decision to close the club. No sane person would do it. Even without being promoted by Disney for the past several years, they were still turning a profit. Now the place is a ghost town generating no revenue at all.

Wonder if they'd let people have a piece of it?
Especially people who it had special meaning to.

Eh. Not sure I'd want a piece of the building. The magic was what happened inside the building. And as long as the building is still there, there's a tiny bit of hope that the powers that be might, just MIGHT decide to open it back up. No, it's not a rational hope, but it's there.

I just read your whole wedding TR a couple weeks ago. Last night I had to run in to the verizon store to pick up some stuff for DH and the man at the register was wearing a wedding band with the Superman logo etched on it all around the band. I couldn't help but think of you! Loved reading your story, by the way!

I acutally have a Superman ring that looks like a wedding band that I used to wear all the time. Scott and I decided that we wanted to match, so I didn't consider getting a Superman ring in precious metal. But the thought did briefly cross my mind. :laughing:

Just wanted to let you know that your TR has been helpful. My partner and I are having our ceremony May 2011. Your post helped us to decide on Randy as our photographer and provide other inspiration. From reading your report is sounds like your wedding was a blast. Thank you.

PLEASE come back here to the GLBT forum and let us know about your ceremony! Heck, start a planning journal of your own if you want to, but definitely come and tell us about it afterward and post pictures! We love that kind of thing, and can't wait to "ooh" and "aah" over your wedding! :banana:

[rpmdfw]

Wow. It's hard to believe it's been two years since Our Big Fat Gay Disney Wedding.

Two years!?!?!?


It doesn't seem like that long at all!

And on the other hand, it seems like forever ago.

Still . . . . wouldn't change a thing about it. :cloud9:

Anyway, happy memories. :woohoo:

[rpmdfw]

Okay, time for an update!

Remember way back when, I posted this:


After we'd begun eating, my Uncle Barry arrived with his lady friend, Maureen, and my cousin Kelly. This ended up being a very good weekend for Barry and Kelly. My uncle had been having difficulties with his daughter for the past few years since she's come out of the closet as a lesbian. Being around us, and seeing Uncle Kevin and his partner talking about being together 27 years really helped Barry to reconnect with Kelly a little bit. Especially since she started telling us about her girlfriend Katie and how happy she is to have met her (they've been dating for 6 months). Barry hasn't met her yet, but is now going to do so.

Well, I just got a facebook message. Katie proposed to my cousin Kelly in Hawaii over the weekend. The whole family is VERY happy! :banana:

So, it looks like we'll be doing another family wedding in 2012. This one will be two brides instead of two grooms! :woohoo:

Indulge me for a moment, please.

Reliving some happy moments with my mom on one of the happiest days of my life, as I mourn her loss today.

I've always said that I'm the luckiest guy alive for having the best parents in the world. I'm less lucky today.

So sorry Rob

[hematite153]

I'm sorry Rob.

[OrlandoMike]

Oh Rob....

Simply beautiful!

Do us all a favor, have a few Bourbons, and tell some great stories about your mom with your friends and family! She looks like she was quite a gal!

:hug:

:hug:

She was quite a lady, to be sure. And at only 65, we weren't expecting this at all.

That is pretty much what I did last night, Mike. Several friends came to the house because they didn't think Scott and I should be alone. So we drank and talked. It was just what I needed. I hauled out the wedding pictures and shared happy memories.

I won't be flying home to Texas until Saturday, as my parents were vacationing at my Uncle Kevin's condo in Mexico when she passed away (very suddenly, and we still don't know how.) So on top of the stress he would have normally had, My dad is having to deal with the international red tape of bringing my mom home. Thankfully my Uncle Kevin flew down there to help him.

That means the added stress of worrying about my dad and not being able to help take care of him.

[Gypsybear]

Rob, I'm so sorry for your loss... :hug:

[soulmates]

Rob,

Our hearts go out to you right now. There are no words, so please accept my hug all the way from NC. :hug:



Love

Chris :sad1:

[itsmuggsie]

Rob, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts. :hug:

[rpmdfw]

Yes, The Big Fat Gay Disney Wedding was just what it was supposed to be, and it was indeed Magical. It was also a lot of fun!!pixiedust:
From the minute we arrived on September 24 to the time we left on on October 6, there was just one happy moment after another. The reason for this was love: :love: Rob and Scott's obvious love for one another, and we, as a family, who love them.
I have so many wonderful memories of that weekend, especially after going through all the photos to choose the ones I want in our album.:confused: How could I choose only a few? Finally, I chose the ones of Rob and Scott that showed, on their faces, their love. Also, I chose the ones that showed all of the family having such a good time. :dance3:
I have spoken to every one of the family members since then, and they all express their gratitude to Rob and Scott for sharing their happiness by throwing this shindig. It was a unifying event for a family that was already close.:grouphug:
Personally, I keep seeing those two beaming, smiling faces. It gives me the most pleasure to know that their smiles and obvious love for one another was not a show for that one day, but that it is their normal state of happiness. :flower3: As parents, we pray for the day when each of our children finds that one person with whom they want to spend the rest of their lives. For Rob, it is Scott. From the first day they met. And as for me, I knew that Scott loved him too, because I saw it on his face in the first picture I ever saw of him. You see, Rob was taking the picture, and Scott was looking at him. The BFGDW was the celebration of that Fairy Tale come true.:tink:
I am so proud of my two sons, Rob and Scott, because they have the courage to celebrate their love and unintentionally serve as an example to both gay and straight couples of what love looks like. Obviously, I love them both very much, and I look forward to many more happy moments with them.:love1:
Thank you, Rob, for this wonderful journal of the planning and of the event itself.:thanks: :thanks: If you print it, I surely do want a copy. Thank you both for letting me share in that planning and celebration. I love you both.

Mike, this tells a better story than I ever could. This is the Mom, I had. This is how I remember her. This is who I will carry with me in my heart.

[kingLouiethe1]

It sounds like your mom was a great lady Rob, and like the world's a worse place for not having her, so sorry for your loss.

[chwgmjay]

Rob -

*hugs*

Sorry for your loss.

[2GirlsMama]

Rob & Scott,
Sending you hugs. I read what your mom wrote about your wedding and my first thought was: that is the kind of mom I want to be. I want to love my children with the deep, unconditional love she obviously showered you with daily. You were certainly blessed to be her son.

I know your heart is broken. I hope you find comfort and peace.

Leah

[jjjmranch]

Rob and Scott,

I am so sorry for your loss. What a great lady she was and will always be in your hearts.

2GirlsMama had the sentiments I have and wrote them a whole lot better!

[SanFranciscan]

Hi Rob and Scott!

I remember your wedding! We voted on which cake you were going to get. If I recall correctly "my" cake won.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom Rob. My parents are both deceased. My first reaction to learning of their deaths was shock. I think we see our parents as larger than life and certainly much bigger than death. At least I did. I am glad that you two are together to cope with this. I am glad that your uncle was there for your father.

[Andrea464]

Rob,
I've loved reading through this thread. Happy 2 years!
I'm sorry for the loss of your mother. :( Thoughts and prayers going out to you and your loved ones right now. :grouphug:
So, it looks like we'll be doing another family wedding in 2012. This one will be two brides instead of two grooms! :woohoo:

Does this mean two dresses?!

[Scampi]

I've always dreamed of a Disney wedding. Fortunatley we live in Massachusetts, so our wedding needed to be in state. Someday, we hope to renew our vows in Disney.

Best Wishes!

[rpmdfw]

Thanks to all of you who sent your condolences to me and my family. Both here, on facebook, and via the mail.

You have no idea how much all of your messages touched me. I really appreciate it.

Love my DISfriends!:grouphug:

[soulmates]

Rob,

this thread was amazing. Thanks for allowing us to go on this amazing journey with you. You are missed already. I'm just glad to know your with your mom again, so I know your smiling down on us.

RIP Rob, you will be missed. :sad1:

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Rob, we will forever hold you in our hearts.

[hematite153]

Rob,

Thanks for sharing so much with us and we'll miss you!

[Tony-NJ]

Not sure what to say other than you will be missed - Thanks for sharing all you did with your Dis friends - rip. :sad1:

[KPeveler]

I did not know either of you personally, but I read this entire thread when I was planning my Little Gay Disney Wedding. I am shicked and saddened by this loss. Rob, we will all miss you.

Scott, you are in my thoughts.

[Saxton]

I just looked over the pictures from Rob & Scott's ceremony again.:sad:


"We climb the highest mountains,
Just to get a better view.
We plumb the deepest oceans,
Because we're daring through and through.
We cross the scorching deserts,
Martinis in our hands.
We ski the polar ice caps,
In tuxedos looking grand.
We are reckless, brave and loyal,
And valiant to the end.
If you come in here a stranger,
You will exit as a friend.
Kungaloosh!"

Goodbye Rob.

[MickeyMickey]

I am more of a lurker than a poster, I have never posted on this thread but have read it beginning to end and was touched at the wonderful person that Rob was and the love between Rob and Scott. I was so sorry to read of Rob's passing and my thoughts are with Scott as well as their friends and Rob's family.

Sometimes life is so unfair!!!

I came across this thread this morning and started reading. I didn't know until the end that Rob has passed. I am in shock. What a wonderful man. I feel so bad. I hope Scott is ok...:sad1:

[ducky_love]

Guys - I don't know if Scott posts here but I wanted to give you an update that he is doing really well. He is so brave and strong. Scott is my hero.

We were with Rob on his wedding day and we were there as he was laid to rest. It has been a crazy few weeks. Rob would have been thrilled to see his wedding thread "sticky".. but I know he would have just made a dirty joke. :lmao:

At his funeral all the different folks that got up to talk about Rob said that he just had so much love. He had his family, his Florida family, his theatre family... but we left out his Dis family. I know he loved you guys! And he'd want you to KNOW it!

Now- everyone promise to GO GET YOUR FLU SHOT!!! Rob's Dad made us all promise to tell everyone to get one. Now, you go tell people. Preventing this from happening to someone else is the best way to honor Rob's memory. :grouphug:

[OrlandoMike]

Thanks for posting! Not a day goes by when someone tells me via the Dis or Facebook a funny Rob story!

[hematite153]

Now- everyone promise to GO GET YOUR FLU SHOT!!! Rob's Dad made us all promise to tell everyone to get one. Now, you go tell people. Preventing this from happening to someone else is the best way to honor Rob's memory. :grouphug:

Yep, this is definitely good advice this year. I've personally been iffy on flu shots getting them some years and not others. But, this year, I've been pregnant (thus I have depressed immune system) and got my flu shot when my doctor told me to. I work with hundreds of teens and pre-teens who seem to get sick on a regular basis and enjoy sharing their germs (i.e. not a lot of hand-washing going on) and I have yet to get sick.

On the other hand, this community just lost Rob and another community that I'm a part of just lost a healthy, active 28 year old -- also to pneumonia.

So, anything you can do to keep yourself healthy will be appreciated by the people who love you.

We live in Florida. My partner and I are going to CT to be legally married then on May 6, 2011 we are having our DFTW! Its a work around but it works.

I was reading through this thread & getting the 411 on Rob & Scott's Disney Wedding (as we wish we could afford to have one at Disney) & when I got to the end I see that Rob has passed. :sad1: I was in tears. I hope that Scott is doing good & even though I never met these guys, they seemed so in love. Scott I hope you are doing good & I wish you nothing but the best during this time.

Day Four - Sunday September 28th-THE BIG DAY!- Part Four

And we didnt' cry! We had both gotten all teary and cried every other time we read through the ceremony (I'm getting choked up about it now!) but that day, we were SO happy and having so much fun, that there were no tears during the ceremony. Just big goofy grins and looking at each other happily. We were totally in the moment, and enjoyed it as it happened. It was magical.



I haven't made it through your entire recap yet, but I just wanted to say that I shed a few tears over your account of your commitment ceremony. Thank you so much for sharing it.

[dwtraveler]

I have also just discovered this thread. The past week has been really a hard week, well really the last 6 months have been the worst of my long life. This whole wedding has been my feel good story. I haven't been able to leave my computer for 3 days. Smiles and happy tears for the whole event were constant companions for me. (I also miss AC).

When I reached the post about Rob's Mom passing away, I was heart broken. Then the posts started to say we will miss you, Rob. I went back and read and reread. Tears just started flowing. Where is the announcement of Rob's death? I think that what I have gleened is that he died of complications from the flu? When and how did this happen?

I was expecting to wish Rob and Scott Happy Anniversary and now find myself saying goodbye to a "new friend" even before I had a chance to give you my love about all you have been through. As I said goodbye to another friend at his funeral today, I now must admit I find it hard to say goodbye to Rob also. So many tears of happiness and sadness!

Scott, my heart breaks for you and you have more people out here still wishing you the best, well, you have no idea....I am so glad you have all of these memories, you had so much more than so many people will ever have. At least you can say you have no regrets and you lived your dreams....my love to you both...

[OrlandoMike]

The latest cover for Superman will be in honor of Rob!

From George Perez....

Since this book will be on the stands tomorrow, I figure it would be okay to finally show my variant cover for SUPERMAN 712, which I dedicated to the memory of a dear friend named Rob Morrisroe who was a lifelong Superman fan. The original art was given to his surviving life partner Scott.

How is Scott doing? Has anyone heard from him?

[NewCruiser2011]

I only discovered this fantastic thread as of yesterday, as my bf and I are considering a Disney Commitment Ceremony. I've just come to the end now and what else can anyone say? Thank you for keeping this thread up and for the wonderful memories and beautiful energy Rob's many entries continue to bless many people with. Peaceful wishes to you, Scott.

:grouphug:

[elwise1966]

I spent 2 days reading all the posts of this wonderful thread. What an amazing couple and quite a journey they took. I absolutely loved the pictures and the stories.

Now I'm a bear of a guy, but I teared up when I read that Rob's mom passed. Then after reading on and being confused and figuring out that Rob had passed, I broke down and cried. It's amazing how somebody you have never met can touch your heart.

Big bear hugs to Scott and I hope you're doing ok.

[leebee]

I just started reading this thread today, and have finally finished all 148 pages. Throughout my reading, I several times wondered why it was a sticky, but came to a brilliant explanation: This must be a sticky to show others that it IS possible to live your dreams with the person you love. The strength and courage to live openly as a gay couple in a state so opposed; the obvious love that Rob and Scott shared, shining through their eyes; the love, support, and acceptance by Rob's family, through the words of his mom- for both Rob himself and her other dear son, Scott... all of these are wonderful examples for EVERYONE to look to, but especially for anyone who is still living in the closet, dreading telling the people they love most that they are gay because of fear of rejection and loss. Clearly, this thread must be a sticky because it's a testament to love and acceptance.

Now, of course, I come to the end and see that this thread is a sticky because it is a memorial to a funny, intelligent, witty, well-spoken, brave, fun individual who was taken from this life too soon. It is stunning and shocking to read the last few pages, going from one post with Rob saying good-bye to his mother to the next post where Rob's friend is saying good-bye to him. I have no words that will comfort Scott, except to tell him how wonderful Rob obviously was and how lucky that they shared the time that they had together. Hugs to you, Scott, and to Rob's Florida Family, bio-family, and DIS-family that I was lucky enough to "meet" through this thread. Peace to all of you :hug:

[Sillyminny40]

I have been reading this wedding thread for a long time and loving it. Thanks for all the smiles and tears you guys.

[Blueyes87]

I remember reading this thread as Rob and Scott were planning and I enjoyed every minute of it and they really gave many hope and joy. Life has kept me away from disboards for quite a while but an upcoming trip has recently brought me back on and I was very very saddened to see that we have lost a dear friend :sad1: My condolences goes out to all his friends and family and my heart and love goes to everyone that was fortunate enough to know him.

[ygracey]

My partner and I wanted to have our commitment ceremony at WDW in 2002 and they said, "No, we only do ceremonies legally recognized by the state of Florida." it really upset me because we had both been cast members and had not been subjected to any discrimination by Disney. I read through all the posts here and was so happy that Rob & Scott were able to have their day. I wish Scott and all of Rob & Scott's family and friends only the fondest memories of this incredible man. I hope this sticky never goes away. It seems that soon enough most people will find it odd that there was a time when the whole subject was so different, or new. Of course it won't come soon enough, but the time is coming.

[Cinderellastory]

Thanks for all of the details about the planning sessions!

[BarbieGal457]

Oh my. I am so very, very, very sorry to hear of Rob's passing, and I offer my deepest condolences. I have followed this thread from the beginning, but am not sure I ever even posted, maybe once to wish the happy couple the best. This is truly heartbreaking.

Scott, it is with my whole heart I send you my love. I hope you are doing well. I am sure you know that even though many of us may never have met you, we will always be here for you. I am not sure if you'll ever read this, but do know that you and Rob are both loved here at the DIS. You two are truly an inspiration to many of us here who followed your amazing story of love!
