No Rehearsal?
Leslie, on June 21, 2022 at 7:17 PM

Have any of y’all had no rehearsal with wedding party and have had it all go smoothly? I don’t think it’s going to be possible to have one as it’s a destination wedding for half of the guests.

Was your ceremony on time?
Michelle, on June 19, 2022 at 4:32 PM

Whether as a former bride or a guest attending someone else’s wedding. If it did run late, how long after being seated did you (or the other bride) walk down the aisle?

If you postponed the celebration, but still got married...
Angel, on March 15, 2021 at 12:30 PM

Hello! Curious about what other people's plans are if they already got married on their original date, but postponed the "big wedding." We eloped, and none of our family was there. We've been planning...
