Their mutual love of a Japanese video game brought Kelsey and Christian together as teenagers, and finally they’re married! :)

These two planned their Disney wedding from Oklahoma, and not only was this trip special because they were getting married, but also because it was Christian’s first visit to Walt Disney World!

We loved getting to know this sweet couple and Kelsey’s sweet family. Her family is full of Campbell’s Soup employees, and they surprised us at the end of the evening with a Campbell’s soup onesie, pacifier, and “Future Campbell’s Soup CEO” bib for Baby Root! <3 <3 <3

I love that they had custom cocktail napkins at the bar with random facts about them as a couple. :)

It was a rainy one, y’all (which only means tons of good luck!), but luckily Kelsey had two of the most dapper men on hand to help out! :) Caaaaaaan we talk about the back of this dress for a minute? Thanks. THANK YOU, COORDINATING MONORAIL! <3 Yeah.. About that rain. :/ But see those smiles?! Kelsey and Christian FTW!!

Jesus loves me, this I know! <3

I love this shot Nate grabbed of Kelsey and her dad practicing for their big number!

I told you it was a big number! ;)

Then this off-leash dog stopped by! :)

Kelsey and Christian, we loved getting to know y’all!! Can’t wait to share the rest soon! <3

Kim contacted us, in her words, when she and Christopher had “been engaged for 100 years and finally settled on a hopeful date.” :)

These guys were married at Walt Disney World on Halloween, and were our first ever Halloween couple! We didn’t know what to expect on the Halloween wedding spectrum, from all their guests dressing up and some sort of themed bridal party or goth look for the bride and groom to a totally “normal” wedding that just happened to fall on Halloween. Theirs happened to fall in the latter category, and aside from their DJ slipping in a few Halloween songs, you’d never even know it was October 31st on their wedding day. In fact, going back through their wedding photos, I had to remind myself that their wedding was around Halloween, and not the middle of April with their amazingly bright and happy color palette!

My favorite story from meeting Kim and Christopher was when Kim told us the moment she knew she and Christopher would be together forever: He had a bar of Mickey soap from the Disney hotels in the 90’s on his computer desk… And she keeps one on hers! Hearing that reminded me of when Nate and I had been dating for a few months when I glanced at him typing in his PIN number- It was the SAME AS MINE! Sometimes you just know right off the bat they’re “the one,” sometimes you just know and then the universe hits you over the head with it a few times to make sure you reeeeeeeeeally know. ;)

I looooooove rehearsal dinner dessert parties! So fun to meet everyone ahead of time, and I love seeing our couples all nervous and excited about the next day.

I know I tweeted this around their wedding, but I cannot look at these photos without the theme song to “World of Color” being stuck in my head and it makes me soooooo happy. Also, paper flowers are my new favorite. I love the thought of having them to keep forever. :)

“I’ve got gadgets and gizmos a plenty…” <3

Kim has connected with other Disney runners on Facebook, so when she posted in a group that she was getting married, these guys came to the Yacht Club Gazebo to cheer her on! So fun. :)
