I'm considering not having a rehearsal dinner in order to cut down on costs and to remain within our budget. Is that tacky? I've also considered having the wedding rehearsal and then we all go to...

What's your ceremony exit song?
Maggie, on January 19, 2019 at 11:05 AM

Once you’re officially pronounced married, what song will send you back down the aisle? Maybe you want to set the mood for the party at the reception, or maybe you want to celebrate to the song that...

Is there a thing as too many ring bearers and flower girls?
Marissa, on February 6, 2019 at 12:19 AM

My wedding is May 2020, and my son is going to be the ring bearer. My fiance wants his goddaughter to be the flower girl, & I felt bad asking her to be in the wedding, and not her brother, so he...

Heather, on March 1, 2018 at 2:57 PM

We are writing our own vows. My question is-as you are working on the vows or even after they are done, did you share them with friends and family for feedback or keep them private until the moment...

Ring Bearer Can't Walk Yet
Alyssa, on February 5, 2019 at 7:12 PM

My ring bearer can't walk yet. I was thinking of some ideas for him to come down the aisle. Maybe his sister, who are the flower girls, can pull him in a cute wagon. Or maybe his dad can hold him...

We are getting married in a "field", so i wonder where do the bride and groom go after they walk back down the aisle? All I can picture is we walk to the end of the aisle and then stand there...
