Reserved seating at ceremony
Alana, on April 6, 2022 at 8:38 AM

Who all gets a reserved seat at the ceremony? I know the Mother & Father of the bride and the Father & Mother of the groom, but who else gets a reserved seat?

Walking down the aisle Song
Leslie, on April 4, 2022 at 6:23 PM

Did you guys have just instrumentals playing when you walked down the aisle or did you pick a song where someone was also singing? I’m so stuck between which I want to go with

Kristen, on April 9, 2022 at 7:25 PM

My fiancé and I are getting married. He is catholic while I am not. I am not even Christian. We have discussed getting married in a catholic ceremony, as that is important to him. But if we do that,...

How did you present your personal vows?
Peach, on February 2, 2022 at 12:01 PM

For traditional vows the officiant will have the couple repeat after him/her, but we've both written our own vows. In an ideal world we'd have them rehearsed and memorized for the day of the wedding,...

Are you hiring an officiant for your wedding ceremony? Or are you asking a family member or friend to officiate?
