FYI: First Same-Sex Civil Marriage at Disneyland

[taikolaw]

Just a note (if you're interested):

My bride and I hosted the first same sex civil (that is, legal!) wedding at the Disneyland Hotel on August 2, 2008. Our photographer posted some of the photos on her blog, which is at boutwellstudio dot com slash blog (and scroll down a bit) (though everyone should look at --everything-- on the blog, because she's a fantastic photographer).

Anyway, we had an Alice-in-Wonderland themed wedding, along with the Cinderella Coach and all its trappings, and Mickey and MInnie for the cake cutting. Fantastic and wonderful.

Hope you enjoy the news and pictures!

Your photos are gorgeous and you both looked great! Congratulations!

May I ask how you pulled off an Alice themed wedding? How did you do the theming? Or was it all done by Disney?

I am asking because I think I'll do a Cindy theme but we both love Alice more so I have thought about it. I am also considering a WDW wedding but probably not because of costs.

If I'm way too Off-Topic please PM me instead of answering on here #._.# sorry

Thank you so much for you comments, everyone! We enjoyed our wedding so much, and we were thrilled to be able to post about it...

As far as the wedding itself, my bride (the one in the dress!) is all about the Alice, so most of the ideas for the theme were hers. (and I mean...ALL about the Alice....) Disney executed some of them to her instructions, but she was very specific. She had drawings of the topiaries, and the cake, and details on each level of the cake... We made the table centerpieces (well, my mom and a friend of hers did), and we made the "drink me" and "eat me" signs.... there were a bunch of other details....

In retrospect, some of these aspects weren't shown, but are in other pictures, which I am in the process of posting. If anyone in interested in seeing more pictures, please PM me with an e-mail address, and I'll send you a link when I get them posted. Or maybe I can figure out how to start a gallery on here somewhere. We'll see. Message me, and I'll let you know when I figure it out!

If you have any specific questions about the Alice stuff or the Disney planning or anything at all, please PM me or post here. I adore talking about our wedding!
