Lauren + Rob : Grand Floridian Ceremony and Epcot Reception

September 9, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

I LOVE the story behind Lauren and Rob’s proposal:

Before I even met Rob, my family’s favorite part of going to Disney World was walking from our favorite resort, Boardwalk, into Epcot and watching the fireworks show, Illuminations, from Italy. I remember standing on that bridge on a family trip in October 2016 thinking to myself that I couldn’t wait to one day share this spot with that special person. Little did I know, that in less than a year I’d be back there with that person and it immediately became a special spot for us too.

Then Disney announced that Illuminations was going away and devastated, we planned a trip in June 2019 so we could watch it a few more times before it went away. On the second night of our trip, we “bumped into” two friends of ours in Epcot. When we got to Italy, Rob said he was going to the bathroom (but really was getting the ring from my dad in the American pavilion) and came back and said I should do a boomerang of me twirling in my dress on the bridge. We did this a few times and then on the last time, I twirled around and he was down on one knee and proposed.

Then I was surprised by my parents, Rob’s sister and college roommate, and the two friends we bumped into who were in on it all along to be our photographer and videographer. We all had drinks in France, came back to Italy for the fireworks, and then walked to the Boardwalk for dinner. It was truly the best night ever!

Huge thanks to this amazing team for making it one we won’t forget!! <3

Kristyna + Robert : Disney Wedding

Today sure feels like a good day to share a Grand Floridian wedding. Don’t you agree?

Kristyna and Robert were high school sweethearts. Life led them down different paths, but they finally found their way back to each other. <3

You just can’t beat the view of a Castle while getting ready on your wedding day!

“Kristyna, I’ve wished for this day for 29 years.” Ohhhhh my heart. <3

First look magic :)

We loved being a part of this Disney wedding, especially knowing the special place it has in their hearts- Robert used to work as a chef at Narcoosee’s!

I meeeeeeeeeean… <3

Off to their reception where there were a couple more surprises in store! :)

You’ll never know how many dreamsI’ve dreamed about youOr just how empty they all seemed without youSo kiss me once, then kiss me twiceThen kiss me once againIt’s been a long, long time.” –Kitty Kallen
