How one couple had a guerilla wedding / civil ceremony in Disneyland

On the fourth day of elopement week, Meghann & Josh will take us to a faraway land called Disneyland. Meghann & Josh are Disneyland annual pass holders so they decided to have a, totally not-approved-by-Disney, quickie civil ceremony inside the park.

Jill & Andy’s retro chic legal ceremony on Good Friday

On day three of elopement week we have Jill & Andy. Although Jill & Andy are planning to get weddinged in August they wanted to get legally married as soon as possible.
