Mollie + Adam : Epcot Flower and Garden Festival Wedding

September 7, 2023 by Jensey 6 Comments

Mollie first found us on Carly Morgan’s original wedding blog back in 2009(!!!!!)

She’s been a follower for a looooong time. Every now and then, a post will show up in my timeline that we shared 10+ years ago, only to see that Mollie commented on it! <3

Mollie and Adam met in 2017 on Bumble. She asked what his favorite Disney movie was and why, and they were together ever since. I love this quote from Mollie describing the proposal: “On our annual jaunt to WDW he proposed to me on the porch at Nomad Lounge while I was barefoot enjoying a good cocktail. He incorporated one of my favorite TV scenes (Boy Meets World when Eric ‘proposes’ to Topanga and pulls out a handkerchief to kneel on) and themed it all to the movie ‘UP.'”

They planned their wedding during Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot so there were flowers everywhere without having to supply them herself! They were married in the Italy Pavilion but in front of one of the shops; we’d never done a ceremony there and I *looooooved* the rich backdrop it provided!! Every detail from this wedding reflected something about Mollie and Adam. Her shoes were hand painted by a friend, showing one of their cats at Nomad Lounge where their proposal took place, and another cat at Epcot. Adam and his groomsmen each had a Lego mini fig in their boutonniere. Mollie’s bouquet had flowers made out of pages from a Harry Potter book and a hidden Lego Leia! <3

Two children who Mollie used to nanny were the flower girl and ring bearer- but that’s not all! Mollie’s dress she wore as a child at her first communion fit her flower girl perfectly, so that’s the dress she wore at the wedding!!

Thanks to this team for making it such a special one :)

As soon as the wedding was over, Mollie and Adam’s guests remained seated while they did their first dance and parent dances up at the altar. The backdrop was maybe a liiiiiitte more photogenic this way than if they’d done it over at Ariel’s, where their reception took place. :)
Favorite. :)
So sad I think this was my last wedding with sweet Rachel on the DFTW team! <3
Mollie and Adam, I’m sad it’s over, but I know this is truly the beginning of a beautiful friendship!! We love y’all! <3
