Arbor or No Arbor for beach front wedding?
Joyce, on March 18, 2021 at 1:22 AM

I want to keep my ceremony simple and pretty and the resort has an arbor that they provide, but I just don't like the style of it. Should I just go without or do something different? My creative...

Recessional song
Kayla, on March 20, 2021 at 6:48 PM

So I'm considering "This Will Be Our Year" by the Zombies as our recessional song. I was inspired by the ending of Schitt's Creek haha. I also think it is very fitting for a 2021 wedding that has...

How to get infant son down the aisle
Paige, on March 24, 2021 at 12:52 PM

I’m getting married in August. Our son will be just shy of 6 months old at our wedding. He is going to be our “ring bearer” (we are not giving him rings, just the title lol). Does anyone have ideas...

Virtual
Dj Tanner, on March 23, 2021 at 10:32 AM

Another question about virtual. What is the best free platform to use? From what I’ve read zoom charges if it’s more than two people in a meeting I believe. My vendor charges $2500 to do...

Ceremony party position
Kenia, on March 17, 2021 at 12:57 PM

Hello! I am trying to figure out if it’s a strong tradition to have the entire party stand with the bride and groom. I have a party of 6 bridesmaids and 6 grooms. I feel like that’ll be too many...

Hi everyone! I am getting married on July 31, 2021 in Fuquay-Varina, NC and my ceremony is outdoor at 5:30PM. While the estate house will cast a shadow over the ceremony space due to the sun beginning...

Music during the ceremony??
Emily, on March 22, 2021 at 6:26 PM

I honestly haven’t been to very many weddings, so I really don’t know what the “norm” is. My officiant asked what songs we will be playing so I sent him the list, bridal party entrance, my entrance...

Does it matter what side the bride and groom stand on?
Lindsey, on May 12, 2019 at 6:40 PM

I'm one of those people who feels like I have a "good side" and a "bad side" and i want to stand on the right side so people see my good side (my left side). Is there some rule that the bride has to...

Processional Songs
Jenna, on March 21, 2021 at 2:25 AM

I really love the idea of walking down the aisle to “Marry Me” by Train and having my BP walk down to a different song. I’ve toyed around with the fading of the songs and it sounds fine. I am just...

Hi everyone! I’m interested in walking myself down the aisle half way and having my fiance then escort me the rest of the way. I’ve never seen it done this way though and tried to find videos on...

How to include stepparents when both parents walk bride down aisle?
Madi, on March 14, 2021 at 10:20 PM

Basically what the title says - I like the idea of having both my mom and dad walk me down the aisle. However, they are each re-married. I think it would be weird to have my stepmother and stepfather...

We just went to a family wedding where the bride and groom did the traditional back and forth prompted vows and my fiance said he really liked it. I've always loved personal vows so I still would...

When to say our vows?
Taylor, on March 16, 2021 at 7:46 PM

Hi everyone! I have another question I'd like some advice on. My fiance and I are having a traditional Greek Orthodox ceremony, so we don't have any vocal part in the ceremony. However we both want to...
