Kneeling at the Ceremony Question

[CositaRicaFabulosa]

Has anyone had a ceremony where the bride and groom were on their knees for part of it? Does Disney provide kneelers, and are they available at all ceremony sites?

We're looking over our BEO and before we send it back, I need to make sure that we either add in kneelers or talk to the officiant to eliminate that part of the ceremony. We're getting married at SBP, so I know that there isn't anything exisiting on site we could use - it would have to be set up for us. Of course, we figured this out on the Friday of a three day weekend, so there's no chance of getting an answer from DFTW until next week. I'm hoping that some of you brides out there might know the answer to this one. Thanks!

I have seen a Disney wedding where kneelers were brought into Epcot, which means they were provided by Disney Floral. The only shot I can find shows just the tops of them, though:

Oh, thank you, Carrie! I've been so focused on looking for photos of them at SBP that I hadn't even considered looking at photos of other ceremony venues. (Oddly enough, I've seen them a few times in ceremonies at DL, but never in Florida.) I have to touch base with Rosie next week, so I will ask her about them.

Rev. Tim Herring has a picture of one in the Wedding Pavilion during one of his ceremonies on his website. It's portable so I assume it can be used at any of the ceremony sites! It is the light oak wood with the joined rings at the top, same design as seen in the Wedding Pavilion.

Thank you. I'm not sure they let those kneelers leave the WP, but it doesn't hurt to ask. I found another link to a photo of the WP kneelers on the DIS boards, in some old posts about Charytin Goyco's VR in 2007 http://u.univision.com/contentroot/uol/art/images/tv/ftv/2007/05/070511_esc_charynovia_f.jpg

I also have to say I love Tim Herring's website. I was astonished at the number of Disney weddings he does. He was one of the officiants we considered, but we needed someone bilingual.

I got the official DFTW answer today, and there are no kneelers at any outdoor ceremony locations, including Sea Breeze Point.

The interesting thing is that I found a wedding from November where they did the part of the ceremony that requires kneeling. Rosie (who answered the question) said that she did that wedding but didn't provide kneelers. Unfortunately, that couple did not appear to do a PJ on any Disney boards I can find, so I have no idea how they managed.

But, that's the official word!
