The magic of a Disney fairy tale always begins with a “Once upon a time” moment that leads to a “Happily ever after” ending…even when it’s least expected!

Days before their marriage, a couple finds an old family vacation photo from Disney World with both of them in it.

“An amazingly orchestrated wedding proposal caught live in Madison Square Park. After the surprise production number in the park for this girl, they rode off in a horse drawn carriage. In the dance the slip of paper the guys are waving around is a poloroid. The song the guys dance to was “their song.”"

It takes a bit to get through the set-up but this is, without a doubt, the most elaborately staged, extraordinarily fun and entertaining marriage proposal I have ever seen. What I wouldn’t give to work with this couple on their wedding reception. You can bet that it will be off the hook! Too bad they’re in New York.


 

Receive Congratulatory Greetings For Your Wedding From The President Of The United States and The First Lady.

Imagine how exciting it would be, as a Bride & Groom, to receive congratulatory greetings for your wedding from the President of the United States and the First Lady.

Well, you can and it’s FREE as long as the recipients are American citizens and you follow 2, very simple steps.

First, wedding greetings may only be requested after the wedding has taken place. 

Second, a Presidential greeting request must include the following information:

Name of the Bride & Groom

Address of the Bride & Groom

Date (month, day, year) of the wedding

The name, email address and daytime phone number of the individual requesting the greeting.

And, although not mandated as a requirement, sending a copy of the wedding invitation might be a nice gesture. It would also add legitimacy to the request.

Now that you’ve got all of the information put together, you can submit it in one of 2 ways:

Fax: 202-456-2461

Mail: The White House
Attn: Greetings Office
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, D.C. 20502-0039

As you can probably surmise, my inside sources* tell me that the White House gets a ton of requests for such congratulatory greetings. So, allow several months for it to reach the recipient.

As an FYI, the White House also sends congratulatory notes to citizens that are…

…commemorating the birth of a child.
…celebrating a birthday of 80 years or older
…retiring from the same job of 30 years or more
…celebrating an anniversary of 50 or more years.     

All congratulatory greeting requests, other than those for weddings and child birth, should be sent at least 8-12 weeks in advance of the specific occasion.

You’ve got to admit, regardless of one’s political affiliation, a congratulatory note from the President of the United States and First Lady would make a memorable addition to any scrapbook. And, you don’t have to “crash” a White House party to get it!

*Just kidding. I don’t really have any inside sources.
