Renewing wedding vows

[hwdelien]

I know I'm starting REALLY EARLY. But if I'm gonna be able to pull this off, I'm pretty sure that I need to start saving money, if nothing else. See my 10th anniversary will be 2/14/2012. When my wife and I met we were both divorced with children. I had 2 and she had 1. We didn't really have money for a big wedding and no honeymoon whatsoever. We had the wedding planned, but I got laid off a month after 9/11. We scaled back the wedding to just close family at a little chappel and dinner at a restaurant that my new mother-in-law worked at. Went bankrupt later that year. Great start, huh? Believe it or not, we didn't find out that we were both Disney junkies until after that. We've survived 7 years now and I want a real wedding and honeymoon. Believe it or not, I'm a guy actually saying that. I know my DW would find it Extremely romantic.

Anyway, I've seen the wedding pavillion from the monorail and that's what I want. Nothing big, probably just us and our kids. Doubt we'll be able to coax anyone else to make the trip.

Will they accomodate anything that small? How expensive is it? I would assume Feb 14th is a popular day, any ideas how far in advance you can make reservations?

Its nice to hear you are still going strong. :sohappy: Congratulations!!!!!!!!! I will be having an Escape wedding on March 12 at the wedding pavillion. This type of wedding is designed for 20 people or less. The cost for the wedding is 5500.00 but includes alot. I had to book 8 months out to the day of the wedding. I would stronly advise getting the dvd. You can get it from disneyweddings.go.com. This should be able to answer some questions. The fact that you are having a vow renewal may different in pricing. I would definitely get the dvd and give them a call. The phone number 321-939-4610. It is never to early to try and surprise your wife. Congratulations again on 10 years of marriage and a Happy Anniversary!!:sohappy:

I think it's great a guy would want a real wedding and honeymoon! Nothing says that just us girls that would want one. As for info here is what's at disneyweddings.com, I hope it helps:

I can't vouch for Disney Weddings, although they sound absolutely magical, but I'll vouch for March 12th as a wedding date. That's the date my husband and I tied the knot in 1983. Hope you have many years of happiness.

Wedding Renewal

Hi there, I believe the wedding pavilion holds min. of 25 people and up. I remember because I did some homework myself when I was thinking of being married there, small wedding on the beach and someone got back to me and told me that it would have to be min of 25 people. I believe the cost for a min of 25 people is about 5K in the least.
I hope this helps, you can always contact the Grand Floridian Wedding Pavilion and speak to someone they are very sweet.
I know also that at the Poly. Hotel they do small weddings on the beach no clue how much it cost or if there is a min, but it's worth it to check it out. I wish you and your wife all the best....I go to disney all the time at least 2 times a year and love it always....:wave:hope I helped a bit.
