Shellie and her husband, George, first tied the knot at Disneyland in 2015.
When it was all over, I was like, Whoa, thats it?
We didnt get to eat or dance.
Time went by so fast, and we both wanted to relive the moment, she toldPeople Magazine.
So we did a redo wedding in 2018.
I thought that would be the end of it.
But no, I got hooked.
I realized this was so much fun.
The couple held the reception for their original wedding at the Animation Building insideDisneylandsCalifornia Adventure Park.
Then, thecouplechose the Disney-Pixar movieUpas their theme, celebrating with beloved characters Carl Fredricksen and Dug.
I thought it was funny and fitting.
Its never the same.
We have different characters, different food, different venues, and different guests.
Its all about spicing things up and having fun with each new celebration.
The process of planning the weddings begins with choosing a theme.
Then, she reviews the different packages on the Disney website to manage her budget.
Shellie said she buys a newdressfor each ceremony, often finding discounts at sample sales.
Disney offers a storybook setting that taps into childhood memories and the romantic allure of fairytales.
Disney offers many elements that set it apart from traditionalnuptial ceremonies.
These extras turn the wedding into a once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
Its never the same.
According to the fairy tale wedding specialist, the latter is the most popular choice.
The average cost for couples at Walt Disney World is around $30,000, McKeown said.
This includes the venue, catering, floral arrangements, entertainment, and additional enhancements.
We change our guest list all the time and celebrate with different people.
Some of my friends have officiated, and Ive had a different officiant for every renewal.
All the people who come now are big Disney fans.
We dont expect gifts or anything like that.
This is our thing, and we just want them to show up.
So we pay for their food and other expenses.
They are treated like normal [wedding] guests.
I totally get it.
People look at it and think, Oh my gosh, this girl is so stupid.
How can she spend so much money?'
I save all my pennies to create a core memory with the man I love.
If some people dont get it, thats fine.
It might be unusual, but its what makes me happy.
Shellie chooses not to disclose the theme of her weddings with anyone to keep them a surprise.
The next one will coincide with her and Georges tenth anniversary.
The Disney fan is eagerly counting down the days.
Frankly, normal is boring, and I dont want to live a mundane lifestyle!
