Walking down the aisle help!
Willow, on July 22, 2021 at 5:28 PM

I’ve not got much family, the family I do have already have parts in my wedding! Am I able to have the grooms mother walk me down the aisle? Would this look alright? Is it allowed? HELP!!

Ceremonial procession no wedding party
Natalie, on July 21, 2021 at 6:55 PM

So I have no bridesmaids no maid of honor and no best man no groomsmen. For the ceremony before I walk down the aisle who should walk down instead if anything?

MOH and Best Man
Margouettha, on July 19, 2021 at 7:25 AM

Do the MOH and Best Man walk in together after the bridesmaids and groomsmen? Or is it always typically the best man and groom that walks in together and MOH walks in by herself? Or does it not...

Cassie, on July 16, 2021 at 7:40 PM

I'm going for a fairy/fae garden vibe for my wedding and pan flute music is perfect for this. But obviously this isn't a common musical instrument. Does anyone have suggestions for how to go about...
