Intimate Ceremony?

Has anyone done an intimate ceremony and then had a "normal" reception? How did that go? Pros and cons?

Bouquet Holding with Dress?
Alexia, on April 5, 2021 at 3:41 PM

So my dress is a touch too long in front but it’s too late now to get it fixed, I was wondering how to hold my dress up, my bouquet, and my dads arm all while walking down the aisle?

How Long Should Your Vows Be?
Lisa, on September 3, 2021 at 11:18 AM

If you're writing your own vows, what length is considered ideal? Should they be less than 30 seconds? Or 1-2 minutes? Or longer? Any specific word count that is considered ideal?

Officiant fees
Sarah, on August 24, 2021 at 9:11 PM

I am curious about price ranges you have paid for your officiants (ones that you did not know personally). I got a quote that I think is higher than typical fees. Thank you!

Recessional Song?
Lexi70, on May 14, 2021 at 7:00 PM

What song are you using for your recessional? We aren’t having a church ceremony so I would love to do something fun. Just can’t decide.
