anyone else having a time gap between ceremony & reception?

kaylarae in Planning, on March 13, 2014 at 12:00 PM

Maybe this is a regional thing… Where I'm from (Saskatchewan) wedding ceremonies are often between 11am and 1 pm and then the reception is usually around 530/630 (with or without "cocktail hour")...

Vows: traditional or writing your own?

kaylarae in Planning, on March 6, 2014 at 1:51 PM

Ladies! Just curious, how many of you are using traditional vows and how many are writing your own? Anyone writing them WITH your FH rather than it being a surprise?

kaylarae in Community Conversations, on March 5, 2014 at 8:43 AM

Are any of you ladies using WedPics to share and collect photos? Has anyone used it before? If so, was it simple for guests to use? I don't want it to be a hassle for the guests but I think it would...

kaylarae in Community Conversations, on March 3, 2014 at 2:27 PM
