Foot Washing Ceremony
Priscilla, on February 23, 2018 at 2:00 PM

Anyone ever seen or performed a foot washing ceremony. I really want to do this but don't know if it is too messy and/or takes to long to remove shoes.

Church aisle decor? - no candles & no easy way to hang from pews
Katie Beth, on April 22, 2018 at 5:41 PM

Hi! The church where I'm getting married does not allow candles, and will only allow floral/decor to be hung from the pews via elastic bands - no tape, nails, tacks, staples, glue or pins. The pew...

Fabric between the pews
Crystal, on April 13, 2018 at 9:20 PM

I purchased fabric to drape down the pews of the church aisle along with hydrangea field Pew cones. This would make it impossible for guests to walk down the center aisle and therefore the ushers...

How much to pay dog sitter to pick up dog after the ceremony
Olivia, on April 16, 2018 at 3:37 PM

My venue allows a dog to be part of my wedding ceremony, which is perfect because I have always wanted my German Shepherd to be in my wedding to some degree. The only downside is he has to be off the...
