First Dance Songs
Deidra, on January 7, 2021 at 3:24 PM

My fiance & I both have two left feet & little to no sense of rhythm. Any recommendations for a slow, but not super long first dance song?

Wedding Bands
Deidra, on November 30, 2020 at 9:37 AM

Isn't it usually at the ceremony that the bands are put on? What if you only have your engagement ring & no wedding bands at the time?
