Throwing birdseed???
Dj Tanner, on January 19, 2021 at 11:51 AM

My venue doesn’t allow rice or confetti to be thrown when walking back down the aisle. Which is totally understandable, especially with the confetti. Instead they’ve suggested birdseed. I’ve always...

Receiving line is a bad idea?

Walking down the aisle
Cassandra, on January 10, 2021 at 9:29 PM

I'm looking for a non traditional song to walk down the aisle to. Open to most genres (except country) something that isn't over done already
