While Walt Disney World is beloved by children, the Orlando resort can also bring adults together in the most enchanting way possible. While working as a children’s-activities coordinator at Disney World’s Contemporary Resort Pool, Morgan caught the eye of New Zealander, David, who was working at the same pool as a lifeguard. Shy by nature, David nevertheless gathered the courage to ask Morgan out. Almost immediately, “I just knew—honestly it was the weirdest, most amazing thing—but I just knew I was going to marry him,” Morgan says. “He is the one that was created for me and me for him...we just fit.” After nearly four years of long-distance love between New Zealand and Houston, David planned his surprise proposal, with help from the family Morgan was working for as a nanny at the time (awww), to take place at the same resort where they’d first met. The couple wed at Ashton Gardens, where their reception, with its classic palette of ivory, black, and navy, was a fabulous celebration. But “the ceremony was the part of the day where we officially became one—it was what the whole day was about,” Morgan says. “When our officiant pronounced us husband and wife for the first time, we both lost it!”
