carol and brian’s disneyland engagement

bon jour!

this story is my favorite! far off places, daring sword fights, magic spells, a prince in disguise.

ohhh, isn’t this amazing?

it’s my favorite part because… you’ll see.

here’s where she meets prince charming, but she won’t discover that it’s him till chapter three.

carol and brian first met some time in middle school. she a beautiful princess. he a strapping young squire that didn’t think he had a chance with a vision such as carol. they quickly became friends and although each had a hidden crush on the other, neither acted on it. they remained very close through high school, but then a darkness fell over the land and they lost touch after graduation. insert scene of brian in a shiny suit of armor riding his trusty steed through all the lands… fantasyland, adventureland, frontierland, tomorrowland, and even new orleans square, searching for carol.

lucky for brian, fairy godmothers aren’t just for princesses. he had the most powerful one of all… fairy godmother my-space. she reunited our hero with his beautiful princess at a friends poker night, “the best poker night ever” as brian recalls. from that moment on they grew closer with every passing day until at last the day came when brian proposed to his sleeping beauty. *wink wink nudge nudge*

of course carol said yes.

and they will live happily ever after.

before we get to the photos, i have to point out some things that we love about carol and brian. they smile… a lot. they love being in each other’s arms. they love disneyland, movies, mexican food, cotton candy, and wedding shoes that aren’t white. they love photos. in fact, they love photos so much that they booked us to shoot their wedding before they even knew where they were getting married. it’s pretty hard to top that for us, but carol and brian do. the thing we love most about them is that they love to have fun and enjoy life, together.

carol and brian, we can not wait to shoot your fabulous las vegas wedding at caesar’s palace (with hidden mickeys) later this year! we’re so freakin excited! thank you janell for being our matchmaker. it is a very real possibility that ALL of your friends are more fun than whip cream pants.

as you probably already know, we are full disney geeks. we never miss an opportunity to go to disneyland, especially for a sweet disneyland engagement. as we were up late one night working on this post kim and i started talking about disney characters and got on to the subject of which character are we most like. here’s what we came up with:

i am most like winnie the pooh.

kim is like a mix between meg from hercules and kuzco from emperor’s new groove.

april is like jane from tarzan, minus the english accent (trust me, do not ask april to speak with an accent).

rain is like rhino from bolt.

although carol already told us she is like belle from beauty and the beast, and brian is like stitch from lilo and stitch, april thought she would go ahead and draw carol and brian as their own characters on this vintage disneyland map from 1962.

aren’t they cute!

****************************************************************************************************

so our question to you is… which disney (or pixar) character is most like you, or your personality?

I LOVE EVERYTHING DISNEY! Blown away by these pictures! The pics really show how fun and silly their personalities are, the cotton candy shots I just love, especially the one with her hugging it. SO CUTE! I can’t choose a favorite, but I do love all the one’s with the mouse wedding hats!

I’m a total Disney geek! People say I’m like Ariel, but I think I’m more like Jasmine from Aladdin [= Hidden Mickey’s at their wedding, I want to go he he. I love the ones with the bubbles they look SO happy in those. That sketch is way cool too, does she sell those?

Such a fun looking couple! I just love how I can vote for my faves instead of saying…”it’s the one…” Love April’s drawing. Oh and I think I’m kinda like Linguini from Ratatouille. :)
