Hi WeddingWire friends! I'm Meredith Hill & I'm tying the knot with my beloved in October 2019. He popped the question at the Bristol Renaissance faire so we thought it only appropriate to get married in a medieval themed wedding. He will be in chainmail, shoulder, arm & leg guards, a tabard & sword. The Groomsmen (3 of them) are going to be in chainmail, tabards, & swords. The Honor Guard (14 guys) will be in tabards & swords. The Honor Guards will follow me & my Dad down the aisle & sit at the ends of the rows. Then, when Dave & I are introduced as newlyweds, they will stand & make an arch with the swords over our heads as we walk down the aisle. I'm so excited!!!!

Happily married 🎉

Flower girls & ring bearers
Meredith in Wedding Ceremony, on September 11, 2019 at 10:33 AM

Who here is having a flower girl or ring bearer? I'm wondering if it's ok for the pastor to have the rings already up there so we won't have to deal with kids possibly having temper tantrums. Is that...

What Do You Do When.....?
Meredith in Wedding Ceremony, on September 10, 2019 at 5:14 PM

It Would Be the Worst!

What is the worst thing that could happen at your wedding? I mean, what's the worst 'wedding horror story' you've heard? Mine would be that a past girlfriend of Dave's came & professed her love...
