Discussions from Wedding Ceremony

I’m a DIY bride with a tight budget! And before the church I’m having my ceremony at had a center aisle but after changing the chairs AND CARPET (last minute) I am out of ideas of how to decorate TWO...

I haven't been to a ton of weddings, so I don't know what's "normal", but do DJs often provide the music for the ceremony, as well as the reception? Music is the one thing that I'm having trouble...

I'm trying to find a resource for how many songs to pick for the processional and I'm failing. So our Processional order will be my FH with his best men, my two grandmothers, his great aunt, my mom,...

I want my dad and step dad to walk me down the aisle. Not sure what would work best, both of them all way way down, or each one of them walking me half way down aisle. They don't really get along, so...

A little backstory: my ceremony venue is a bed and breakfast type place, and (weather permitting), we're doing the wedding in the backyard/garden. My wedding has 33 guests invited, including everyone...

FH and I aren't considering this but I recently stumbled upon the idea with one of the most recent OffBeat Bride email newsletters. Thoughts? Concerns? Is this an option you would consider? Why or why...

I feel like I already know the answer, but we will be keeping the ceremony short, hopefully 30 min tops. Our ceremony venue has very limited built in seating, is it in anyway acceptable for some...

Hey all. My first post. I said yes on Sunday, and we set a date of 8/18/18. Most things are handled already. However Hubby-to-be LOVES animals, we have 3 cats, 2 geckos, and 3 sugar gliders. He really...

There is a free wedding ceremony in B.C. This weekend. wear what you want, bring your marriage license and show up. I almost wish I wasn’t so dead set on a wedding and reception with my family. Such a...

We are planning a ceremony and reception at the samesies venue with a 20-30 min ceremony in the courtyard of the area. Freight train tracks run along the back of the building and I'm concerned there...

Me and my fiancé love old throwback songs! Trying to think of a good upbeat funny song for the recessional. Any ideas?

Hi everyone! Going to keep the long dramatic story short and straight to the point, my step dad walked out on us about 2 years ago (My sperm donor has never been around) he isn’t invited to the...

Hey everyone! So I am getting married in December, in a rustic barn venue. Next to the barn (where we will have the reception) they have a chapel we will most likely get married in - unless it's a...

Hello, we we are looking for a wedding venue that has a willow tree that we could get married in front of. Does anyone know places in Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, or within a 2 hour radius of Sacramento???...

Hello brides!! I’m wondering if any of you have had or been to a wedding where they did the ceremony on the dance floor of the reception area? If so, how did you like it? Thanks in advance!

Okay y’all, I know it’s my wedding and I can have it how I want. BUT, FH goes by his middle name. What is the norm for the officiant to refer to his as during the ceremony? Example: “Do you FirstName...

Don’t be scared to get creative here because I’ll take all suggestions! I have a daughter who will be 5 by the time we get married and to give her her own spotlight, she’ll be the flower girl and ring...

I would like to do a unity cross for our unity ceremony during the wedding. My finance's grandpa can make one for us, but I'm not sure what I want it to look like. I'd prefer something that can hang...
