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.

Brian Berigan, bride Taylor Chewning's boss, officiated her wedding on May 17, 2019 dressed as Walt Disney.
