Our Great Escape - Morocco/Canada/Attic/Sago Cay TR *DisneyWeddingBlog Nomination*

[helloirishkitty]

I'm just now reading your TR and your pictures are beautiful! Are the ceremony pictures from DPS? If they are, I don't feel so sad about having to use them anymore!

I'm from Western NY so I am on the Niagara Wine Trail all of the time. It is so beautiful... Niagara on the Lake is one of my favorite places.

I know exactly where that is! One of my BM's is from St.Catherines! I just applied for a job with the Niagara Region, which I beleive is out of Thorald, so maybe I will get lucky for once....but yah, the job situation is awful right now, nobody that I graduated with has a job (and our line of work is supposed to be in demand)

That is awesome! I wish you the best of luck with the job!

Beautiful Karen! Your AK shots are gorgeous! I really love the uniqueness of your bouquet and it totally fit in to Canada and AK. Loved your "aisle". As I've already said, what a fantastic location for a ceremony! Oh, and that's wonderful that Ron is adding the wine ceremony as an option for other brides. Can't wait to see more!

Your pictures are gorgeous. I love seeing the Animal Kingdom pictures! Your bouquet was so unique.

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

beautiful! I love your bouquet...so different!

Wow! Canada has always been my favorite area in Epcot but I did not know it would make such a wonderful wedding spot. You guys look great! The pictures are worth the wait (I have been checking daily for weeks!) I know, I need to get a life!

Thanks Yah, I forgot to write about the whole walking down the aisle together thing....oh well! We were really happy with our decision to do that, and in the end, it made more sense anyway, since we were the last to arrive due to our photo session.

Thank you so much When I was looking at the pictures I was so happy with my bouquet choice, as I feel it really did fit well with AK and Canada, like you said!

Your pictures are gorgeous. I love seeing the Animal Kingdom pictures! Your bouquet was so unique.

Thank you I'm obsessed with my bouquet now. I forgot to mention there was also a tiny hidden mickey in it...I'll take a pic it later and post it.

Thank you! I think lots of people will want it anyway...but if my pictures can help, than great

beautiful! I love your bouquet...so different!

Thanks

Thank you We are so happy we ended up there! When we decided to switch to Epcot, we wanted Germany (it is/was our favourite Pavilion) but we chose Canada so we could keep the Escape package. We couldn't be happier with our choice! I still have so many more pictures...portraits in Canada, the Attic, Sago Cay and Trash the Dress!!

GORGEOUS! Love your AK photos- sorry to hear staff wasn't being very welcoming though, sounds like your photographer handled it well though. LOVE your Canada pics!!! If we weren't so attached to our tropical theme I would switch in a heartbeat! Maybe we could do 'tropical Canada' Can't wait to see more

Karen,

I love your AK pictures and the Ceremony in Canada is just so different from any other Disney Weddings. I'm sure Canada is going to be the new popular spot! I can't wait to see more pictures. You were so beautiful!

 

[TinkLoverSam]

O Canada! I can't wait to see more ceremony pictures.

 

[ghoulish delight]

Your ceremony looks like it was perfect, all-around! The location is very unique and beautiful! You and DH look so happy and adorable, I love it. And the wine ceremony seems very cool!

Thanks! I love your location too.....when we were first planning sunrise terrace and sunset pointe were our favs, but we knew we would have too many people! There is always a VR.....

Karen,

I love your AK pictures and the Ceremony in Canada is just so different from any other Disney Weddings. I'm sure Canada is going to be the new popular spot! I can't wait to see more pictures. You were so beautiful!

Thanks The thing I love about DFTW is that everyone can make their location so unique. I'm excited to see future ceremonies in Canada, because I am sure they will look so different. We customized everything down to the chairs for our ceremony!

O Canada! I can't wait to see more ceremony pictures.

More coming soon!

Your ceremony looks like it was perfect, all-around! The location is very unique and beautiful! You and DH look so happy and adorable, I love it. And the wine ceremony seems very cool!

Thanks Our ceremony actually was perfect. There literally wasn't one thing out of place or one thing I would change.


Alright, I'm going to work on getting the rest of my ceremony pics up!

Day Three Part Four: More from the Ceremony​

Right after the ceremony ended, we got right into taking portraits. This ended up being so much fun….I guess we were just all excited to be in Epcot in formal wear, and we attracted quite the audience, so we all felt like celebrities.

We started out taking a few pictures @ the ceremony site (although I only uploaded one since my patience with that was running low):

We just did a few here, than were lead right down to the garden area (around where you wait for Le Cellier). We got some good group ones here as well:

And a few of my favourite random shots that Joe and Regina got:

How did the groom get stuck with all of this??

Our own paparazzi…

We took a few more by the bench:

After these shots, our guests were all taken to the bus behind UK to wait for us. I felt bad that they had to wait about 20 mins for us to get our portraits done, but I think they were just happy to be in air conditioning, since it was starting to get hot. So well they were cooling down, DH and I were working up a sweat hiking through Canada to get some awesome pics. I hope you enjoy!

This one is one of my favs:

I love my not-wedding-at-all wedding shoes!

We had to get this one:

Another fav:

Sadly, we had to leave Epcot, but we had the Attic, Sago Cay, Trash the Dress, and the rest of our honeymoon to look forward to! Lots more to come soon!

YAY! I love your pics so far! I really have a thing for the phone booth shots! Can't wait to see more

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Yeah! More pics! I love the colors of the flowers in the background! Amazing!

 

[TinkLoverSam]

Wow! So beautiful! I'll have to pay more attention to everything in Canada while I'm there in August.

 

[sillykaren]
