*Now, approximately 1,500 couples tie the knot each year at Walt Disney World Resort. Since September 1991, Walt Disney World Resort has hosted more than 27,000 weddings.
*Couples have traveled from every state in America and from international locations such as Japan, Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands to get married at Walt Disney World Resort.
*At least twice during the 13-year history of the Walt Disney World Marathon couples have stopped mid-race to get married in front of Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom.
*A couple took the plunge, literally, on The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney's Hollywood Studios while they tied the knot.
*Some brides and grooms choose non-traditional methods of transportation to arrive at the ceremony such as on horseback, Cinderella's glass coach, a horse-drawn carriage or vintage automobile.
*According to wedding industry experts, Walt Disney World Resort is recognized as a top-ranked honeymoon destination and destination weddings venue.
*The sky is the limit for themed weddings -- from an enchanting Cinderella-like wedding in Magic Kingdom or a Hollywood extravaganza in Disney's Hollywood Studios to international-themed nuptials at Epcot and a safari-themed reception at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
*The first wedding at Disney's Wedding Pavilion was televised live June 18, 1995, on Lifetime Television as part of its "Weddings of a Lifetime" series.
Most recently featured on ABC Extreme Makeover, Travel Channel and Food Network.

Before planning my own wedding I never knew how many people actually DID get married in Disney. Thanks for this info! It was interesting!!
 
I've seen this someplace but I can't remember... I really want to see pics of the TOT vows... I was told "No." Boo. But I'm sure if we were Steve Jobs it would be a-okay! :lmao:
