Procession order
Lala, on November 19, 2022 at 1:55 PM

Hello! Me and FH are opting not to have a wedding party- including no flower girl , ring barrier, etc. So my question is who walks down the aisle at that point? Just the parents and grandparents?

Unity ceremony
Leslie, on November 18, 2022 at 1:58 AM

For your wedding ceremony did you guys keep the unity item in the front the whole time or did someone bring it to the front once the time came?

Restaurant Ceremony
Sophie, on November 4, 2022 at 2:34 AM

Has anyone had or is planning to hold their wedding ceremony in a restaurant? Would appreciate any tips as I’ve only really been to “traditional” weddings at a church or someone’s backyard. We’re...

Vows in private or ceremony?
Kristen, on September 18, 2022 at 2:27 PM

We are writing our vows and cannot decide whether to read them at our first look in private or at the ceremony. We don’t have issues with speaking in front of people, it’s just more about the moment....

We are having a completely child-free wedding. No children attending, a friend of mine as the flowerGAL, and a falcon for the ring bearer. My fiance is very excited about the falcon LOL. The only...

My fiance and I have 5 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen. I know it's fine to be uneven that doesn't bother me, but as for walking down the aisle, would it look better for 2 of my groomsmen to escort 2...

Micro Wedding anyone?
Pascha, on September 4, 2022 at 7:47 AM

I’m choosing to do an intimate ceremony at home. Going to transform my living room. I know there are home weddings but haven’t found too much content here (unless I just don’t see it).

What song are you walking down the aisle to?
Kayley, on October 23, 2019 at 6:23 PM

I’m a week and a half out and I still can’t decide what to walk down the aisle too. I want to do something pretty but not overdone. What are you guys walking down the aisle to?

Read ceremony script or be surprised?
Lily, on October 10, 2022 at 8:21 AM

Is it common practice that couples typically review their officiants script before the wedding? We are getting married by a family friend (this Saturday!) and we don’t really know what he’s saying. We...

Opinions on just the moh & bm standing during the ceremony?
Sophia, on October 10, 2022 at 8:50 AM

What are everyone’s opinions on the bridal party coming in & sitting down, except for the MOH & BM? So that only the MOH would stand on my side & only the BM on the groom’a side? And then...

Recessional song length?
Amanda, on October 9, 2022 at 11:40 AM

I'm wanting to exit to the friends theme song! 😄 but the show's intro is only 48 seconds. And the full length song, to me, is just a smidge different. We have 4 bridesmaids and groomsmen...do we think...
