Shanay & Derek’s Tree of Life Wedding

This week, Shanay Vigue shares the story of her ceremony at Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life, celebration at Tamu Tamu Courtyard, reception at the Yacht Club Convention Center’s Asbury Hall, and dessert party at EPCOT’s Germany Promenade. She and Derek chose their 12-year dating anniversary as their wedding date, opting for an evening Tree of Life ceremony that suited both a night-owl bride and an early-bird groom. Guests enjoyed a full two-day celebration, from late-night snacks after the ceremony to a four-hour reception, plus a dessert party in Germany, which Shanay calls Epcot’s best fireworks-viewing spot. She also shares her top menu recommendations, including an off-menu country fried chicken and the double-dipped Mickey premium bars, along with her three biggest pieces of advice for future Disney couples — starting with why hiring a videographer was the best decision she made.
