Should children ceremony?
Sierra, on March 4, 2018 at 11:54 PM

It was just brought to my attention that we maybe should not allow children to come to our ceremony beside the flower girl. I was told that having children present could ruin the ceremony. I was...

Processional order
xRApril, on March 5, 2018 at 11:28 AM

This is probably a silly post but I want to make sure I’m not doing it wrong! Ok so for the processional, I know we won’t be having grandparents and parents walk down the aisle. And we’d like the...

Flower baby?
Nicole, on February 8, 2018 at 7:43 AM

Has anyone had a flower girl that’s still just a baby? One of our closest friends has a little girl who we love very much, but she’ll only be around 1 on our wedding day. Has anyone else done this?

Why does the bride always stand on the left side?
Elizabeth, on March 2, 2018 at 10:27 AM

I'm pretty sure every wedding I've ever been to or seen in a movie, etc. the bride stands on the left and the groom on the right. I mentioned this to my fiancé the other day and we both agree we'd...

We want to do a beer unity ceremony, but I’m having trouble finding wording for it. Has anyone does this? What did you use?

Alexis, on February 26, 2018 at 8:24 AM

I feel as if the rings and wedding itself is unity enough. There's no need to do all of those extra things. Frankly, I dont really like most of the ideas out there (I'm not bashing on them, it's just...
