MK, on April 12, 2021 at 11:40 AM

Scripture reading for a wedding-- thoughts?
Elizabeth, on March 26, 2021 at 2:23 PM

No wedding party ?
Stefanie, on April 7, 2021 at 6:50 PM

Is anyone else not having a wedding party? We are actually thinking of having our kids stand next to us and have my best friend marry us. Has anyone else done this?
