My boyfriend of 5 years proposed to me just last week on our cruise! Now I am doing the beginning stages of planning, and the more I think about a Disney wedding, the more I want one. I have always loved Disney and even worked there last year as part of the College Program (I was a Pastry Chef at Epcot) and I still can't get enough!
I suggested the idea to my mother (who will be contributing a majority of the funding), but she's not as convinced as I am. She says we would have three times the attendance if I just had a local wedding, and she's probably right. For reference, we live in the Ft. Lauderdale area, which is about a 3-4 hour drive from Orlando. Most of the potential guests live in this area- only a few are out of state. I always assumed I would have a big wedding, is there a way to get the best of both worlds? Are people (casual friends) really willing to do a weekend trip for a wedding because they will get to go to Disney World? (I know I would, but I don't count).
How did you convince guests to travel?
