11 Couples To Tie The Knot At Disney World On 11/11/11

Couples Find Special Meaning In Unique Day

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Dozens of couples will tie the knot on Friday, 11/11/11, at Disney Parks destinations around the globe.

If the 11/11/11 number isn't uncanny enough, there are exactly 11 couples who plan to say their vows on Friday at the Walt Disney World Resort, a number that the worldwide marketing and business development director for Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons, Korri McFann, says is purely a coincidence.

McFann says her staff didn't even realize the similarity until they started counting the weddings planned for Friday. Needless to say, it's going to be a busy day.

"You will be hard pressed as a regular day guest at the Walt Disney World Resort not to see a couple somewhere," McFann said.

Friday's weddings will take place at a variety of locations around the resort, including Disney's Wedding Pavilion, Epcot, Disney's Boardwalk and Disney's Polynesian Resort.

McFann says each of the couples has a unique explanation for why they wanted to get married on such a unique date. A Jacksonville couple has made a wish every day at 11:11. For a couple from Pennsylvania, Nov. 11 is the date of the groom's grandparents' 56th wedding anniversary. Another couple from Hawaii took the date more symbolically.

"They thought the 11/11 looked like two people coming together. People are deep!" McFann said. "People really want something meaningful behind their weddings. They want something to remember it by. If you can have a clever date, why not?"

Several of the couples were engaged at Disney. Another, a local Orlando pair, actually met when they were working at Disney's Hollywood Studios together. But not every one of the thousand weddings that Disney helps plan each year started with a mouse.

"A lot of people who may have never been to Walt Disney World travel here. We're known in the destination weddings business of being able to handle absolutely everything," McFann said.

With Florida's weather, McFann says, couples travel here year round to say "I do."

On Friday, four couples will say their vows on board the Disney Cruise Line, three will get married at Aulani, Disney's new resort in Hawaii, and eight will mark the occasion at the Disneyland Resort in California.

In all, Disney says 40,000 couples have married at Walt Disney World, Disneyland and on the ships of the Disney Cruise Line.

And as for 12/12/12? McFann says the requests are already rolling in.

Here comes the bride and her TWO MILE train: Italian village brought to standstill by record-breaking wedding dress

This bride went a tiny bit over the top with her wedding dress with a train that takes some stopping.

They say it’s a day you should never forget – and that’s certainly the case for Italian bride Elena De Angelis and the village of Casal di Princice.

She has broken the world record for the longest wedding dress by arriving to the church with a mammoth, 3km (1.86 mile) long veil.

Hundreds of schoolgirls and their mothers turned out to help the bride-to-be along the streets of her village.

The Gianni Molaro designed cream dress, which is made from 6,000 metres of silk chord, is expected to be confirmed as the world’s longest by the Guinness book of Records.

 

It’s apparently 28 times the length of Manchester United's Old Trafford pitch and would take Usain Bolt running at blistering world recording pace almost five minutes to run its full length.

Driven to the church in a vintage car Elena was applauded by the entire village.

The veil literally stretched for miles and had to be carefully collected by designers after Elena arrived in the church.

A marriage Jim, but not as we know it: Lesbian couple celebrate civil ceremony with Star Trek-themed service

A lesbian couple has boldly gone where no-one has gone before and celebrated their civil partnership with a completely Star Trek-themed wedding.

Walking down the aisle dressed in matching white outfits modelled on hero Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Anita Bayliss and Margaret Wood are so obsessed with the cult television show they even forced loved-ones to dress up as characters at the ceremony in Swansea, South Wales.  

The couple met on an internet forum and from that shared passion for sci-fi they eventually decided to live long and prosper together by tying the knot.

To look their best on the day at Swansea City's Liberty Stadium the happy couple both got their unique outfits shipped in from Hong Kong.
