Favorite ceremony readings about love
Michelle, on February 16, 2022 at 2:15 PM

What are your favorite passages? Is it a short poem, something from a movie or tv show or a paragraph from a random book that stands out to you? Which if any will be included in your ceremony?

Singing vows?
Alyssa, on March 22, 2019 at 4:12 PM

My fiance and I plan on singing to each other instead of wedding vows, do you think this is too "mushy"? I don't want my audience to be upset.

Savannah, on February 3, 2022 at 8:22 PM

Hi, my questions are, how do i create my vow? Do I just write down what my heart tells me to write? does it have to rhyme like a poem? Do I have to create one?
