This year's Gay Days Anaheim, held this past weekend, was one of the most memorable yet. The annual event, which attracts over 30,000 red-shirted tourists to Disneyland and California Adventure Park, featured several momentous occasions, including a marriage proposal from Glee star Dot-Marie Jones to her girlfriend Friday (she said yes!). The next day, another couple also became engaged in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle, where around 1,000 onlookers applauded and posed for a group picture.

Several parties also marked the weekend: Wonderland, an Alice in Wonderland-inspired party at Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney, as well as Kingdom, which featured performances from Glee's Alex Newell and Broadway star Susan Egan at the House of Blues. The fun-filled weekend capped off with a Sunday pool party, Plunge, at the Anabella Hotel, as well another trip down the rabbit hole at the Mad T Party tea dance in the California Adventure Park.

Take a look at photos from all the Gay Days Anaheim festivities.
