My FH and I are planning a 2025 wedding and are trying to come up with ideas for a ceremony that is true to us (non-religious) but doesn't raise eyebrows from his religious family. His family's...

Help! Not in love with any of my venues!
DiDi, on December 13, 2023 at 8:30 PM

Hey guys, I am not in love with any of the venues we've narrowed down to. Should we just settle one of those since timing is not really flexible? Or should we just do a courthouse/elopement first and...

Rebecca, on October 22, 2023 at 12:25 PM

I'm getting married in less than a week and really really want the ceremony to be outside. The forecast is for 50 degrees and partly cloudy. Is that too cold? There is a space to have it indoors if we...

We’re having more of a no traditional wedding due to family drama but still lots of love! I’m having my 2 future stepsons walk me down the aisle (11&6). What’s a good instrumental song that would...

Standing for the Bride?
Nelia, on December 20, 2023 at 4:49 PM

Why do guests and everyone at your wedding ceremony stands for the Bride? Where did this tradition come from? My future husband wants to be traditional and not see me in my wedding dress or veil until...

How short is too short for a ceremony?
Terra, on July 3, 2019 at 10:06 PM

I guess I've decided the next part of wedding planning I'm focusing on is the ceremony, haha. I'm a little lost, though. Neither FH or I are religious, so we're going totally secular. It'll be...

Small Venue
Kimbrala S, on November 28, 2023 at 7:11 AM

I am in search of a small decorated space for just me, him, and the pastor. No one else but a videographer. This is to avoid doing it in a courtroom or pastor study.
