In this episode, Launa Thompson shares the story of her Aulani vow renewal, with a ceremony on 'Ama'Ama Patio and a reception in the Kaiona Ballroom. She and Trevor originally eloped, so he decided they should celebrate with a vow renewal on the 10th anniversary of the day they met! You'll hear where they splurged (characters! flowers!) and where they saved (a welcome barbecue at their villa). Plus, Launa discusses how she and Trevor took advantage of the option all Disney couples have to do Premier Portrait Sessions inside the parks at Walt Disney World at any time after their weddings!

In this episode, Mel Wright shares the story of her Wedding Pavilion vow renewal, Napa Room reception, and Sago Cay dessert party. Because she and Dave originally eloped, this event was a chance for Mel to get the photos and experiences she'd always dreamed of, including an appearance by Mickey and Minnie and a Premier Portrait Session inside Magic Kingdom. She also discusses what it was like to start getting ready at 1:30 am for that 5:30 am portrait session before her 9:30 am ceremony—and says it was totally worth it!

You'll hear how she arranged personal floral, music, and transportation for the church portion of the day, plus what you have to do to get married at a Catholic church other than your own. She also shares how she was able to have an 80-guest wedding for just $32,000, including tons of great money-saving tips, like having a 6-inch cake, choosing barbecue for her dinner menu, cutting a character appearance, hiring an outside vendor for uplighting, using the Grand Floridian Marina for her dessert party instead of EPCOT, and skipping alcohol at that party.

In this episode, Yamel Code Picon shares the story of her Wedding Pavilion ceremony, St. Augustine Ballroom reception at the Grand Floridian, and Germany Promenade dessert party at EPCOT with a ride mix-in on Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. She details how she was able to DIY all the decor for her reception and enlist friends and family members to set it up. You'll also hear how Jose was against doing a first look but, when Disney's strict timeline for taking portraits in the Grand Floridian lobby forced them to add one, it ended up being an incredibly moving experience that also calmed Yamel's anxiety. And both of them still cried when she came down the aisle at the ceremony!

GiGi and Robert Andre share the story of their Festival of the Lion King ceremony at Animal Kingdom and Lantana Room reception at Coronado Springs Resort. Because they had no professional photos of their COVID-era wedding, the couple decided to hold a Disney vow renewal, inviting guests to an anniversary dinner and then surprising them afterward with a trip into Animal Kingdom for the ceremony! You'll hear how they used the Fairytale Weddings Guide and a BEO review session with author Carrie Hayward to pack their wedding with the food, décor, and experiences they wanted while sticking to their budget.
