Justin and Kylie Zamora tied the knot at the Grand California Hotel on Saturday, June 13.
“We wanted that to be the big surprise at the end of the night,” Justin had said. “Just as a thank you to everyone traveling from Hawaii to California, we just thought it would be a good way to end the night on a high note.”
At first, they made their family think they were expecting a baby. Little did they know the bride and groom had other ideas, taking their 65-member party to enjoy Disneyland after hours.
The couple said that part of their ceremony took place at the hotel in the walkway to get into Downtown Disney, and “the whole hotel was watching.”
“Everybody stopped and we thought the security would kind of tell people we’ll keep it moving, but no, they let them watch us. We have a lot more people watching and celebrating, so it was amazing,” Justin said.
Although they didn’t have the park to themselves, Justin said that when their party got to Disneyland that night, they were “cheehooing” and other locals visiting the park “cheehooded” back.
“There was this guy named Eric from Waipahu, but he lives [in California] now. He heard us cheehooing, so he cheehooed back, and there was other locals and went, ‘oh, it’s crazy,’” he said.
“It was pretty perfect,” Kyle said, adding that the park staff let them take their time and snap some photos while they were there.

Kyle and Justin stayed in the park from 11 p.m. to 12:15 a.m.
“We had a good time there,” she said.
It was Kylie’s childhood dream to have her wedding at Disney.
“Just imagining, ‘what if we bring all our friends and family, like, together? That would be so cool,” said Kylie.
Justin and Kylie both grew up just streets apart in Pearl City on Waimano Home Road, watching Disney and Pixar movies.
The couple have been together for about six and a half years and met through a mutual friend at a party, and as the couple said, “It just kicked off.”
Their story truly begins three years before the couple met because of Justin’s custom license plate.
Kylie had a habit of taking pictures of plates she saw across Oahu. One of them happened to be her future husband’s.
“She used to take pictures of people with funny license plates or custom plates, and then she showed me like, ‘My gosh, that’s your car?’ And she showed me a picture from like three years ago before I met her of my car,” Justin said.
Justin proposed to Kylie last October at Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island.
“I asked her on there. And it was just amazing. That it’s kind of crazy because that day too, it was empty. So I don’t know, everything is just falling into place,” he said.
The Pearl City couple does eventually plan to have a baby later after their new Mililani house is finished.
