Then once the magic of getting engaged ends, the advice starts piling in. My husband and I decided we wanted to get married at Disney, have a quick ceremony and then change and go play in the parks. How do you say - DISASTER!!!!!! It was the first sign to us that maybe this was not going to be about what we wanted and more about what everyone else wants. My in-laws are very traditional and the idea of a "fun" wedding was not going to be acceptable. My husband and I were crushed, this is what we wanted and what we both envisioned and now???
Reality set in and we started to really think about the cost associated with a Disney wedding and how impersonal and "cold" it would be. We decided on a wedding back in my home town of Glastonbury, CT. We had a traditional church wedding in my Catholic church and then followed the ceremony by a very classy reception at the Glastonbury Hills Country Club. I will get more into my wedding in future blogs, but the lesson to be learned here is...
Even though my husband and I were crushed by the idea of not getting married in Disney and not having our "dream" wedding, we realized that the wedding we had was so unbelievable and so special and it would not have been had we gone through with the Disney wedding. What seemed to us to be devastating events in our wedding planning, turned out to be the advice we needed to open our minds...
