I’m so excited to bring you another Real Disneyland Weddings feature!  Today’s wedding comes from Sarah and Terrance, who were married in June 2011 at the Disneyland Hotel.  I fell in love with this wedding because this couple used the Rose Court Garden, typically just a ceremony site, for both their ceremony AND reception!

From the bride:

Throughout my life, I have taken countless, unforgettable trips to Disneyland. The memories that I have shared with my family at the Happiest Place on Earth are irreplaceable and will always hold a special place in my heart. Needless to say, ever since I was a little girl, it was my dream to have a Fairytale Wedding at the Disneyland Hotel. On June 28, 2011, this childhood dream came true! Our Fairytale Wedding was so magical and, in many ways, indescribable. My husband made our special day even more magical when he surprised me with a visit from my “first love,” Donald Duck. It was an amazing day … one that I will never forget.

Yes, you read that correctly … this amazing, thoughtful groom surprised his bride with a visit from her favorite  Disney character, Donald Duck!  Enjoy the pictures, and thank you to Sarah and Terrance for sharing the pictures of their big day with us!


The bride’s reaction to seeing Donald – this photo makes me tear up a little.
