Starting planning Epcot United Kingdom Wedding!

[sungela]

Welcome to the planning process! It's nice to have another non-hetero couple on here; we're having our "DFTCC" (Disney Fairy Tale Commitment Ceremony) in June.

I imagine you'll have a more difficult time with name changing than we did. Both of our parents made the assumption long ago that we'd give up our birth names when we got married, and I had already informed my parents that I didn't need any patriarchal surname when I could create my own. Thus, DF and I made up our own last name. When my little brother finds his partner, though, I think my family would strongly object to any name-changing because he's the only boy and he's supposed to "carry on the family name." Too bad he's a one-man gay pride parade.

over. I'm really excited to see all your plans!

I ordered about 6 DVDs....still haven't got one & I've been married for 12 weeks I think word is they phased out the DVD because it had old info in it.

epcot1982uk, congrats on your engagement & upcoming wedding

I actually received the DVD and it looks like it was done in the 80's. If you go on you tube and look up Disney weddings I think they have the video on there in 2 parts.

Not worth watching though.

Disney Fairy Tale Commitment Ceremony - it just doesnt roll off the toungue as well as DFTW!

I know I'm not the person you asked but I think it's situational. Is that the right word??? I know my friends kept their names although I don't know how they made that decision. But, we live in AZ and gay marriages aren't legal here. I don't know if that makes a difference.

I think we are just going to stick with our own, but who knows we may change our minds again!

Its never too sooon!

Well I may start it this holiday weekend, got some photographs together already. I always enjoy the PJ's with lots of pics!!!

as for a date.. we origanlly wanted oct 18.. but with the new photographer changes, we are going to do sept 21,09.. at least thats the date for now... i may opt to go for something a tad later in the month.... any thought when you may want it?? gimme something here

We are looking at the middle of Sept, not quite as late in the month as you! I always prefer September. Its a bit cooler than summer during the daytime, but evenings are still warm - so not at all bad for a DP!!!

And September has been when they have been offering the free DDP the last couple years !! That would save you guys a bunch of $$$ !

if you dont mind me asking a question (and if you do please just say) what happens with regards to changing your names?

Do you keep your current names?
Change to one or the other?
Swap names?
Double-barrel?

I sorry if that's a stupid question but i genuinely dont know and am curious

We have friends that did a commitment ceremony and then got married when same sex couples were allowed to wed in Massachusetts. They found a family name that they both liked and both changed their last names to that name. They now have two beautiful sons and all have the same last name.

Best of luck to all of you!

Not a DisBride but already thinking about a DFTW for one of our DDs in 2021 at the earliest. I just love weddings so I read these boards more than any other boards. I'm such a sap
