Do you think it's weird if i get married in a barn and don't have a overly rustic, country, shabby chic wedding?
Noelle, on June 4, 2018 at 1:17 PM

I want to have a star themed wedding, and I found this adorable barn that I would love to get married in. Say you were going to my wedding. Would you think it's weird that it isn't super country??

Catholic wedding--flowers to Mary?
Eleanor, on June 2, 2018 at 2:11 PM

I should know how to do this because I've been to Catholic weddings, but offhand I can't remember when and how. It's at the end of the Mass, right? or near it? One flower, or a whole bouquet?

Brides walking alone
Maria, on May 31, 2018 at 11:08 AM

I'm strongly considering walking down the aisle alone. My issue is that the church I'm getting married is historic and the aisle is very narrow, so it's a tight fit. Ideally I would prefer to walk...
