2942 days agoI'm a planner. I will plan until I can plan no more. Which means I start to drive myself nuts when planning things I have very little experience with--like how a wedding day should flow--because I don't even know where to start. I've only been to 4...

2955 days agoI need help with ceremony decor! We're keeping it simple because it's a daytime wedding and the building walls are largely made of windows overlooking trees and a lake. However, there is a large cross in the background, and we are not religious. We'd...

2955 days agoi haven't been to many weddings, and the ones I have been to had long aisles. I'm having trouble figuring out how long my processional music should be, because the aisle at my ceremony space is not very long...there's only 12 rows of seating. Does...
