How do i scatter petals with no flower girl?
Kara, on August 20, 2021 at 9:52 AM

I don't want kids at the ceremony. We saw those "flower guy" videos and asked an adult female friend to be Flower Girl. She declined. Without her, we're leaning more towards no flower girl at all...

1 bridesmaid, 1 groomsman, and a very short aisle. Ideas for processional order / timing / something cute so it's not awkward?
Jkwedding, on August 15, 2024 at 5:11 PM

The title pretty much sums it up. We have 2 people walking down the aisle with us, and my grandpa is walking with me to give me away. We don't have anyone else in the ceremony. Also, the aisle is a...

Vows- traditional, write your own, or hybrid?
Andrea, on July 30, 2024 at 10:22 PM

Is a 6pm ceremony too late?
Rose, on May 26, 2024 at 12:30 PM

Our ceremony starts at 6pm but then I realized cocktail hour is 6:30- 7:30 which puts dinner 8pm. Is this too late? We have to be done by 10pm so we have an hour to clean and are out by 11pm :/
