Decorating a spare room for the ceremony
Squeezy Bean, on January 5, 2021 at 4:09 AM

We're planning to get married in the spare room of FH's home, and I'm stuck for decoration ideas. Can anyone inspire me with something other than flowers, arches or lights?

Ceremony readings
Squeezy Bean, on January 5, 2021 at 4:20 AM

I'm curious as to what readings people are doing for their ceremonies. I hadn't initially given it much thought, but I like 1 Corinthians 13. But FH isn't technically religious, so he may prefer...

Elizabeth, on January 1, 2021 at 12:33 PM

Our wedding is out of town for most people so we're concerned about timing of the send off. If we wait until 9pm when the photographer's time is up, we're not sure how many people will be left. Has...

Invite time for sunset wedding
Cilya, on December 29, 2020 at 8:49 AM

Our sunset will be at 6:03 p.m. How early should I make the start time so that we can get our ceremony to be while the sun is setting? Was thinking 30 min? Thanks!

Non traditional
Shannon, on December 26, 2020 at 10:25 AM

I'm trying to pick my ceremony songs and am uncertain how many I need. We are walking out of the woods to the front of the barn. I'm assuming it's approximately 100 yards from the edge of the woods to...
