Bridesmaid/groomsman Walk
Izzy, on October 4, 2020 at 12:20 PM

So I originally had in mind that the bridesmaid and groomsman walk arm in arm together down the aisle. But due to COVID, I’m not too sure about that idea anymore. I mean, I could always just have them...

I’m looking for ideas on how to announce we “eloped” to family and friends (on and off social media!) We had less than 15 guests and it was immediate family and very small. I know some people are...

Kimberly, on October 3, 2020 at 9:48 PM

The other day I posted about how we should handle out petal toss as we exit the ceremony. We really like the cones for the petals and I just don’t think I can place them on the seats as they will...

So far three of my family members have miraculously found new jobs and must start them the day of my wedding. Some people may come to my ceremony and not my reception. We’ve changed the date so many...

Alrighty y’all it happened just like I feared. 8 days from my wedding and I can’t get in contact with our officiant. It took us forever to find someone who could marry us, due to not being apart of a...

We’re getting married on 10/31. Our ceremony is outside & reception inside... I’m so nervous it is going to rain... We are able to do it inside if it does, but 95% of the reason I booked the venue...

No flower girl/ring bearer?
Brittany, on September 30, 2020 at 9:34 PM

Has anyone done or been to a wedding where they didn't have a flower girl and/or ring bearer? If so, how did it work? At minimum, who carried the rings? We don't have kids in the family and have cut...

My coworker's mom is officiating our minimony and she told us to just pay her whatever. What is an appropriate price in your opinion?

Is it rude?
Crystal, on September 28, 2020 at 9:59 PM

Is it rude to kindly ask guests not to bring children to your wedding? What do you guys think? If no, how do you ask politely?

Samantha, on September 28, 2020 at 8:24 PM

How are you incorporating children into your ceremony? I’ll have two ring bearers, my nephews ages 1 and 1.5 and they’ll be escorted by my mom. Are you having flower girls or junior groomsmen or...
