How many Readings in your ceremony?
Dayla, on January 30, 2018 at 11:00 AM

Just curious how many readings most people will be doing. I was thinking two. Planning on it being a 30 minute ceremony. It is in a chapel, but not a catholic wedding. Thanks for any input!

Song to walk down the aisle?
Meagan, on January 16, 2018 at 11:03 PM

Hey what are some suggestions for the bride walking down the aisle. I don't want to do the traditional wedding march. Maybe a different piece of classical music? We have an organist.
