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! #weddingpavilion #grand floridian #epcot #disneywedding #fairytalewedding #weddingtips #weddingbudget #disneyworld #weddinginspiration #weddingplanning #disneycouple #parklife #disneyfireworks
