By eHow Weddings Editor

Instructions Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Wedding Invitations
Wedding Gowns
Champagne
Wedding Cakes
Wedding Bands
Disney Fast Passes
Airline Tickets
Step1Decide whether you will have an intimate wedding or a gala including 250 guests.
Step2Visit Disney World at least once prior to the wedding to check out your options. Visit the new Wedding Pavilion, the theme park (you can hold weddings there during the off-season, when the park closes early), Treasure Island, restaurants, hotels and other locations on the property to get some ideas of where you would like your wedding to be held.
Step3Meet with a Disney wedding coordinator to find out about existing wedding packages.
Step4Understand that the price for an intimate Disney wedding for two begins at $3,000 and includes resort accommodations, a ceremony and admission to the attractions. Destination weddings for up to 20 guests begin at $8,000, and customized weddings that include as many guests as you would like average $19,000 to $25,000.
Step5Discuss details with the wedding coordinator. Make decisions about flowers, menu, music, officiant, photographer and decorations.
Step6Allow time during your wedding weekend to take advantage of the activities available at the Disney Magic Kingdom Park, MGM Studios and Epcot.
Step7Choose a Disney theme for your reception. For instance, for a Cinderella wedding, the bride arrives in Cinderella's glass carriage drawn by white ponies, and dessert is served in a white chocolate glass slipper. Other possible themes include Beauty and the Beast or Aladdin. The price is about $395 to have one character attend your wedding, and goes up from there, with additional charges for each extra detail you add.
Step8Realize that you may have to make a second trip to Disney World before the wedding to make last-minute arrangements for a large wedding. 


 

How to Get a Marriage License in Florida

By eHow Weddings Editor

 If you plan to get married in Florida, you have a good chance of having nice weather on your wedding day.

Instructions Difficulty: Easy Things You’ll Need: Travel Guides Bridal Bouquets Wedding Rings Airline Tickets
Step1Note that you don't need a blood test to be married in this state. Step2Make sure you're both 18 years of age or older (an exception is made for people who have been married before or who have a child or are expecting one). Step3Understand that the requirements and fees vary from county to county. The price is in the $50 to $90 range. Step4Check with the county clerk's office to find out what the rules are in your area. Step5Expect to take a premarital preparation course to qualify for a license if you're a Florida resident. Completing the course entitles you to a small discount on the license (around $30 off in some counties). Step6Ask for this requirement to be waived if you're from out of state. Step7Apply at the clerk's office in person with your mate to obtain the license. Step8Bring a photo identification with you and provide your Social Security number. Remember that Florida's new law requires state residents to sign a sworn affidavit with both their Social Security number and age. Step9Realize that residents who complete the premarital course can receive their license on the same day they apply. The same is true for out-of-state applicants and hardship cases.
