Are you having music in the background during your ceremony?
Mrs. J, on September 11, 2018 at 2:08 PM

If so, what type of music? Our officiant will provide a microphone for us...I'm not sure if we should have music as well since it's an outdoor ceremony and I want everyone to hear okay. Still...

Countryangel707, on October 2, 2023 at 8:02 AM

So my grandma and stepmom are wanting to throw us a wedding shower. The only problem is that I really don't have anyone to come. I would only have them and maybe my stepmom's parents and sister. I...

If you had a destination wedding, how many invited people did not attend?
Luiza, on October 8, 2023 at 11:57 PM

We are considering a wedding in another state (which would require a 1.5 hour flight or a 10+ hour drive for someone who didn't want to fly). I'm aware that this will likely weed out quite a few...

Venue wants all guest's names
Coll, on May 16, 2023 at 4:48 AM

Our wedding venue requires an alphabetized list of every guest's name one month in advance. Is this normal? My brother and sister both recently had weddings and said they have never heard of this.
