We got hitched! Celebration next year!
Erin, on October 9, 2020 at 7:24 PM

We went with our original date of 10.3.2020! We had 15 people including us and masks for all. Some pics were taken without, but for the most part they are on! I was so concerned masks would mask...

Flower Girl Alternatives?
Kylee, on October 17, 2020 at 2:00 PM

My FH and I decided we want a more small, intimate wedding and so we decided we may not have a flower girl. We already chose a ring bearer but we decided not to have a flower girl for the wedding...

We decided to get married in church with just our parents and siblings present in December and have postponed our reception to March (still not open in LA County). Originally I planned to wear a...

How did you choose who would be your bridesmaids?
Mrs. Spring, on October 12, 2020 at 9:16 AM

One of my best friends in university got married and did not ask me. I was hurt by this, especially since I've alwats been there for her whike some of the ladies she chose were unreliable. Fast...

What song for bridal party?
Madelin, on October 16, 2020 at 9:34 AM

What was the song your bridal party walked/will walk down the aisle to? Did you choose or did they?

Processional Opinion
Lauren, on October 14, 2020 at 8:49 PM

So I was never planning on having my dad walk me down the isle, as we are not close, but he is invited and I’m not looking to hurt his feelings. That being said, our processional will be a little...

Hi everyone! We are paying for the majority of the wedding ourselves, and in order to stay within budget, we have to cut back on the flowers. What are everyone's thoughts on only the groom wearing a...

Bridesmaid Singer
Monica, on October 14, 2020 at 9:25 PM

I know it’s a little out of the normal but I would really love for one of my bridesmaids to sing the song that the bridesmaids are walking into. Can anyone think of a way to make this cute and unique...

First Look
MLS, on October 12, 2020 at 7:53 PM

I don't totally understand the "first look". Why do it? Did you do it? Why/Why not?

Vows: personal or repeat after me.
Mrs. Spring, on October 11, 2020 at 10:24 PM

Did you have peronalized or did you do repeat after me? I've been to a few weddings where I've overheard guests criticising the nuptials' vows. Due to this, I'm a bit nervous with the thought of...

Cost of officiants
Krystal, on October 12, 2020 at 11:39 PM

Is it just me or is the cost for a officiant ridiculous? First they tell you the beginning price then they say 25 for rehearsal, 1$ per mile for travel, 25 for marriage license signing. Then...

Vows
Ciara, on October 11, 2020 at 5:46 PM

I have my vows written and they’re kind of long. Would it be okay to have them written down and hold them while I say or should I memorize them?..

Are Ushers Necessary??
Jasmine, on October 11, 2020 at 7:38 PM

Might be a silly question but is there really a big difference in using ushers and not using ushers??
