Good things come to those who wait — and for Tara and Walter, that meant a magical Walt Disney World wedding [1] reception a whole year after their actual wedding. The couple wanted to bring their family and friends together for an entire weekend of celebration and luxury at the Four Seasons Hotel in Orlando. They had eloped the year before and decided a weekend-long reception a year later would be more stress-free.

To ensure every guest had a great experience, they hosted surprises for everyone, including a private trip to Epcot to see the fireworks, custom drinks from the resort's Grand Bevy out of Los Angeles — including a Champagne tower — and even a visit from Mickey and Minnie, who came to celebrate alongside the group. Tara wore three outfits over the course of the evening, and her wedding gown was one of them! The couple had their niece sing the song for their first dance, and they shared a slideshow of their actual ceremony from the previous year, so friends and family of the newlyweds were able to get a peek inside the big day.
