Rhiannon, on October 19, 2020 at 12:38 PM

Hello Fellow Brides to Be, I need your help! My parents don’t get along. Period. With this being said there has been a decision to have two ceremonies. One where my mother and her side of the family...

Walking down the aisle alone
Paola, on October 16, 2020 at 7:47 AM

My wedding is TODAY! I am still trying to figure out if I should walk alone or have one of my friends walk me. Long story short. None of our family members are able to be here because of Covid. We...

So my fiancée and I are getting married this Saturday. We are doing a very basic ceremony where we just say “I Do”. However I have been trying to think of something different instead of the original...

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...

Wear my dress now or later
Crystal, on October 17, 2020 at 3:20 PM

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...

Programs
MLS, on September 30, 2020 at 12:18 PM

I am willing to make my own programs, pretty easily. I am willing to but I am wondering what other people did. I live in Placer County, and I am getting married mid-September. I was planning on making...

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...

Becca, on October 13, 2020 at 3:42 PM

Hi! Does anyone have any unique ways of involving your mom and your fiancé’s mom in the ceremony? Thanks so much!

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...
