It’s the must-have for any true Disney fan: a Little Mermaid themed wedding. Complete with shell-shaped appetisers, a three-tier mermaid tail cake and a stunning beach backdrop, one enthusiast’s wedding will be the envy of wannabe princesses all over the world. Traci Hines, from Los Angeles, transformed herself into Ariel and married her very own Eric for the fairy tale ceremony. With her tumbling red locks, the model is a dead-ringer for the daughter of King Triton, the ruler of the underwater kingdom of Atlantica.
