Personalized "vows" pre-ceremony
Elizabeth, on May 16, 2018 at 9:47 AM

We're getting married in a Catholic church so we're not allowed to write our own vows - plus, to be honest, I'd probably be too embarrassed/shy to say them in front of 130 people, so I've been...

We are going to forgoe printing programs for the ceremony and instead do a poster. Who is planning on doing something similar? Which printing service did you use? I’m thinking of making it myself and...

Hi! My fiance and I are Christian, and we are looking for ways to have our wedding include our faith. We are having our pastor officiate us, so we will have a time of prayer and the sermon, but we...

Start on time or late?
Kaye, on May 18, 2018 at 7:34 AM

I'm the kind of girl that is pathologically early for everything. If I'm on time I actually feel late. Obviously I would never start my wedding ceremony early, but is it expected that it will be...

Full Catholic Mass??
Kate, on May 15, 2018 at 4:53 PM

Is a full Catholic mass too much? Both our families want us to have one and we are debating on it. What should I expect? I just don't want it to be too long. Thanks

Song choice for walking down the aisle
Katie, on May 14, 2018 at 10:17 PM

I am a little conflicted. I do not want to do the traditional March for when I walk down the aisle to my FH. I have two song choices in mind, but I cannot for the life of me make a decision. I know I...

Exclusive hire or non-exclusive venue hire?
Heather, on May 12, 2018 at 7:56 AM

A venue all to yourselves where you and your guests can roam freely OR A venue where you have selected rooms in which you want to use?

No first look, but possibly a "first touch"
SB, on May 11, 2018 at 10:22 AM

My FH and I have decided not to do a first look as we want the total shock of seeing each other in our attire. I had the idea of doing a "first touch" with something separating us so we can't see each...

What song are you using?
Jennifer, on April 30, 2018 at 9:29 AM
