A bride and groom's Disney-themed wedding gave a sweet nod to the most magical place on earth.

Taylor and Ryan Chewning of Jacksonville, Florida, married on May 17, 2019. Their nuptials paid homage to their shared adoration of all things Disney.

"I love the characters, the rides, the movies, I love the songs -- I love the magic about it," Taylor Chewning, 26, told "Good Morning America." "I feel like it couldn't have gone any better, really."

The Chewnings got engaged June 19, 2017. At Walt Disney World, of course.

When the ceremony was over, Berigan said, "You may kiss the girl" -- a wink to lyrics from "the Little Mermaid."

"Everyone was super excited. They thought it was [very] me," Chewning said.

Photographer Jen Roesch of Oh So Sweet Studios told "GMA" the celebration was "classically done."

"My favorite detail was definitely the Disney princess bridesmaids," Roesche said. "They came down the aisle to their own [Disney] music. Each girl stayed in character -- especially Cinderella."
