Uneven wedding party woes
Lauren, on May 24, 2021 at 11:22 PM

I need advice on what to do with my wedding party. I have 8 women that I’d like to include as bridesmaids and I really can’t budge on any of them as we have all been friends together since childhood....

When do you sign the marriage license?
Nicole, on May 16, 2021 at 11:27 AM

When I think about a wedding ceremony, there's the procession, the ceremony, the big kiss, and then the recessional. How/when does the marriage license fit in there?

Kristina, on May 24, 2021 at 8:11 PM

My husband and I got married on our original wedding date in a small family-only ceremony due to COVID. We’re having the bigger wedding this Fall and plan on doing the ceremony again. Did anyone else...

Aisle runners
Jay1, on November 15, 2019 at 11:47 AM

Is anyone having an aisle runner outside? My venue told me they're not that great for ceremonies outdoors because of bumps in the ground. I saw this new trend of having a mirrored reflective aisle...

Do over
Janae, on October 15, 2019 at 6:07 AM

Just a question. Would it be weird if I did a wedding day do over? I have had my wedding day but it was not how I envisioned it. I want to make it right. Ever since it ended, I just feel like it was...

Who manages the train of the bride before she walks down the aisle? sorry if this is a silly question.
Vivien, on May 23, 2021 at 4:59 PM

Hi! I am confused by what I read online in that in a church (Catholic) ceremony, the bridesmaid(s) walks first. I would say my dress has a chapel train. I am also only having one maid of honor /...

One of my flower girls will be one on our wedding day. While she may be walking, she won't be able to make it down the isle so I'd like to put her in a wagon pulled by another flower girls. Did any of...

Seating
Yolanda, on May 17, 2021 at 10:13 PM

So how do you seat guests if the bride has 99% of the guests? I would like my cousins, aunts & uncles there. My cousins usually divide into their own immediate groups as it is. My fiancé just...
