Do we know this bride? She took her own photographer as well and I LOVE this video...wonderfully done!!!

I have wondered about who this was too! I did a general disney wedding search on youtube and this is by far my favorite video! It made me want a disney cruise wedding! I have been looking at everyone's photos and wondered... did any of you disney cruise brides feel "odd" walking around in a wedding dress while everyone else had swimsuits on? Was it noisy during a castaway cay wedding ceremony? Overall would you recommend a cruise wedding over one at WDW?

I absolutely love that DCL wedding video!! We are doing a DCL VR June 9, 2012. The cruise was originally to celebrate my daughter's graduation and last week I asked my dh if he would like to renew our vows while on the cruise and he said YES!!! I am so EXCITED!!!

I plan to do the same thing! (with a little break for the beach) I'm just bummed that pirate night appears to be the same day as our wedding.

We have really awesome pirate costumes that we're now going to wear for the "legal ceremony". Not as much fun, but we'll make it work!

I can better feeling slightly odd. I ended up disembarking the ship in my wedding dress. We had originally planned to renew our wedding vows on the Wonder, but our plans changed for a number of reasons. We then ended up renewing our vows at Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California the day we got off the Wonder. As time was at the essence, I put my wedding dress on before I left the ship. Some reactions were priceless.

We're officially booked for a vow renewal on the Wonder 5/21/12 Alaska cruise! I'm a little nervous since it's just the two of us (who'll take pictures with our camera?!) and Alaska seems like a bit of an unknown as far as weddings go, but I can't freaking wait!

So excited for you. I know what you mean about someone to take pictures. My kids will be a part of the ceremony and we do not have any other family or friends going with us.

Just dropping by for a second...our wedding was beautiful. We had Andy (from Germany) and he was awesome!!!! We used the photographer on board (Leonardo) and he was great!!! We had a hard time picking the 25 we ordered.

We did not get any outside pictures as we just ran out of time, but it was all good!!

One word of advice...check the expiration date of your marriage license. They accidentally put 10/09/11 instead of 11/09/11. We almost weren't able to get married because I did not catch it!!! Thank goodness Brevard County is close and it was open...at 4:00 we got a corrected one and ended up missing the muster drill and having our legal ceramony right in front of guest services on deck 3. That was pretty sweet and all the workers were excited to watch!!!

I will post pictures as soon as I can!

I am almost sure the onboard coordinator will snap some for you..they are very good about that!

Just a suggestion, you could get to know the other cruisers who will be sailing with you via DIS. If you happen to bond with one of them, you could always PM them and ask if they can take pictures for you. Couldn't hurt- that way you'd get those photos you're looking for

The thought definitely crossed my mind. I've tried to start posting on our meet thread a little more frequently
