Discussions from Wedding Ceremony

My FH is a devout Catholic and I'm a non-denominational Christian. We're also from two different states (IL/NY) but we've made our life together in DC. Unfortunately as a result we've had to do a...

Hey all I was wondering if in a courthouse wedding they have an officiate like a priest or something for the wedding. If so if we could request that NOT happen but to get wedded by the judge or...

We're getting married in September, and we already have the reception location. We haven't figured out the ceremony yet but I would love to order and send the invites this month, so that guests have...

Hi everyone! I have two young cousins I've been considering having as ring bearers. The wedding isn't until next fall, and by then the boys will be 7 and 6 years old. I'm wondering, is that too old to...

Hey guys! So me and my FH are debating between having and not having bridesmaids and groomsmen and a MOH and BM. If we did, we were thinking of just having a MOH & BM. But then I know one of my...

This is for those ladies who will be a step mom when they marry. My FH has a six year old daughter from a previous marriage. I have an idea of what I want to write for my wedding vows to her, but I...

Ok, so initially I wanted a videographer very badly, just mostly to have coverage of the ceremony. But after realizing how pricey they are, we decided about 9 months ago that we were not to have one,...

I had the idea to have a ‘spontaneous’ wedding on a public beach at sunrise. It’s special to my SO and I bc we visit the beach at sunrise a lot. The beach is clean and typically void of people at...

Who typically walks down with the aisle with the dog at a wedding? We all have partners to walk down with except my dog...

Our theme is rustic/country/chic somewhat. It will be all country music during the ceremony but I am having a hard time coming up with a recession song. I'm looking for something fairly upbeat. I've...

I'm so confused. My mom said the groomsmen come into the sanctuary before the ceremony starts and the bridesmaids go down the aisle by themselves. The groomsmen greet the bridesmaid and escorts her to...

What is the correct way, if there is one, to have my girls line up beside me during the wedding ceremony when I have a matron of honor and also a maid of honor? I am only having a maid of honor and a...

I think it would be really cool to walk down the aisle to the hymn, “be thou my vision.” My friend plays a beautiful version on the mandolin and I think it would be extra sweet if my guests could sing...

How early should I get to the church before the ceremony starts? The ceremony is at 2 and we are getting ready at my moms house, which is about 20 minutes from the church. Trying to decide what time...

So our ceremony will be outside under a bridge and I am trying to figure out the placement for the best man. I like the idea of having the groom and best man already at the altar rather than walking...

I’ve seen in some wedding packages the option to have the guests receive champagne upon arrival. I think this is a very nice touch and our wedding will be later on in the day (4:00-4:30-ish) Is anyone...

So I'm having an outdoor wedding and trying to figure out how long my aisle should be? I have an available 50 ft as the max length. Is this too long?

I’d like to have a purse with me on my wedding day just to hold things like my phone, my hotel room key, tissues and possibly lady products if necessary (☹️) and I’ll likely just leave it on our...

My fiance and I are on the same page: We want a secular, non-religious ceremony. But his parents, and even he, have this idea that his Lutheran Bishop grandfather should officiate our wedding. I don't...
