StormFreak Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I did a search and didn't find any previous topics about this, but I am a "newbie", so I may have missed it (sorry!). I know Robb and Elissa got married at WDW and the marriage on the Voyage has been in the news lately, but I was wondering if anyone else has any good stories about engagements or weddings at Amusement or Theme parks? To get things started here is a picture of my fiancee and I when I proposed to her at Cedar Point! I bought her a CP frame at the beginning of the season and told her we should save it for a special picture. When we went in August I suggested that we had one of the Kodak folks take our picture for the frame. She agreed, so I asked the employee if I could pick the pose. He seemed a bit confused, but when I went down on one knee and took the little box out of my pocket, he knew exactly what was happening, and the rest is history! As you can tell from the pic she was very surprised. Because of this day, Magnum has become "our" ride. It was our first engaged ride together, our first engaged ERT together, and now is our first ride every time we go to the park! Our CP Engagement!

ILoveRitalin Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Congrats! My first marriage was onboard Medusa at SFMW, now Discovery Kingdom. Good thing for me that we ended up getting divorced because man, she was a you-know-what. Congrats again on your marriage. May you and your wife love each other forever. Ok, that was sappy, but I'm allowed some sap every now and then. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCody Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I married my ex at the Star Trek Experience in Vegas, and then the whole wedding party got onto the ride simulator. It was pretty fun. The night before the wedding, my fiance chickened out at X-Scream...I should have seen the warning signs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My new wife and I got married in Vegas, but in a semi-chintzy chapel there. (I say semi-chintzy because this one actually was fairly nice and provided a nice reception afterwards) Though we stayed away from the Stratosphere, we did actually take a ride on Speed. And then we rode the coaster. Ok, yes, that was a bad joke... I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemical_echo Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 One of the first times I went to Darien Lake, an entire wedding party got on Mind Eraser just as I had gotten off. Bride and Groom in the front, and the rest in the following seats. It was pretty funny watching the bride trying to keep her legs crossed so her dress wouldn't accidentally give people a peek. When I worked at Xtreme Skyflyer at Canada's Wonderland there was a small wedding ceremony. The wedding took place on the platform, and when they were done, the bride and groom took their first flight together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I saw a wedding party at Kennywood a few years ago. Was funny watching the bride trying to hold onto the vail while riding Phantoms Revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRapidsNerd Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hey that's great! Congrats you two. JimmyBo just proposed at the Phoenix Zoo? (I'm a little hazy here, but it was a great thread and video). Me, I'd love a Disney World wedding or Star Trek Experience wedding. How awesome would that be? The girlfriend isn't too keen on either, unfortunately, and Star Trek will be in the Nexus soon. Oh well. Cheers for theme park and unique weddings!

Goliath513 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 ^ Awesome way to plan it, and really cool how you had the frame already picked out. So I assume your fiance is a coaster enthusiast too, or at least enjoys them? Whenever I find that "one girl" I really hope she is a coaster enthusiast too, or at least enjoys theme parks. We're a bit young to be thinking that far ahead. First we need girls. Surprisingly, I met a cute girl on RCPro who loves coasters and especially Cedar Point. We planned to meet up when I was out there last month, but as my bad luck would have it - she got the flu and couldn't come. What could be worse? Anyways, this means there are girls out there who love amusement parks and coasters too. The odds are weighed heavily in their favor though, so that means much harder for us guys since there are way more of us who love coasters than them...

lizzybear Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I want either a WDW or Vegas wedding, partly because I want an excuse to only have a small wedding and also because it'd be like a built-in honeymoon! (which is really the only reason I wouldn't just go down the registry office route, i'm so romantic right?!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I was going to propose in front of Wonder Mountain at Canada's Wonderland, but I knew we wouldn't be at that location until after riding Behemoth and didn't want to risk losing the ring on the ride. Plus I figured the metal detector may have picked it up, thus ruining the surprise. So instead I went with a restaurant, much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenA07 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 When I decided it was time to propose I actually came up with three different plans that could easily be implemented if things went other then I had planned. My plan B was going to be to head up Stratosphere and propose up there. Things worked out well however and I ended up popping the question in the Eiffel tower at the Paris Hotel... I later discovered that was a very common place for people to propose, considering that in the 20 minutes I was up there another two proposals went down. I still wonder how the Stratosphere idea would have worked out if I ended up going with that instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
