Hi! We're having our grandparents walk down the aisle first. My fiancé is going to walk his mother down the aisle with his dad following right behind them, so I'm wondering if my mother should walk...

Lots of conflicting info and debate on this topic! If my officiant owns her own "business", do I tip her on top of the fee? What did you all do with your non-religious officiant?
So this venue I found has had some of the most beautiful weddings I've seen online, and I would love to have the same lake backdrop for my ceremony. In the past they've allowed ceremonies on the beach...
Can we have a catholic church ceremony/blessing without legally getting married/signing the papers? Also, I am not confirmed and do not intend to be, but my fiancé is. His family is religious, and we...

To me it makes more sense to have the flower girls walk first and then the bridesmaids rather than vice versa but I understand traditionally the flower girl comes before the bride. Our flower girls...

My husband and I got legally married in a private ceremony during quarantine and are now planning our more traditional "wedding" for our friends and families, etc. Mostly, planning is going pretty...
We're possibly hiring an officiant but also want to try coming up with the ceremony on our own first and have a friend marry us. It's not actually required to have an officiant in my state (CO) so...

Booked the venue!!!! Yay - however one of the expectations is that I can’t have silk flowers (thinking flower girls, table arrangements). What suggestions do you all have and go

Hello! I know this is not a traditional way to get married, but my fiance and I had decided that we like our best friend to officiate our wedding. Any suggestion on where our friend can legally get...

My dad has MS and is in an electric wheelchair. Obviously he's going to wheel me down the aisle, any suggestions on how to make this go smoothly/ should I scooter onto the back?? Help please! The...

Hey everyone! I am a second-time bride, but that was 10+ years ago and I feel like I'm starting over since it's been so long! I am recently engaged to my best friend + love of my life and I have two...

Hi—I am having a small wedding (50 people) in an intimate restaurant in Brooklyn. Curious if anyone has some entrance ideas as an alternative to walking down the traditional aisle. Thanks!

My fiance and I agreed on no memory table, thanks for the advice, however, we agreed to have programs that will have a little section that says we honor those who are not able to attend today and then...

Ok so not sure if I’m overthinking this, because I’ve probably over thought almost every detail of this wedding. Today I had a 30 minute phone call with the pastor who is marrying us to go over the...

What is an appropriate amount to tip a rabbi performing a wedding from a member of the congregation since there is no fee for that service?

I wanted to do a first look with my FH. But he is very against it. He said he doesn’t want to fake his reaction to me walking down the aisle. He likes the idea of everyone seeing his reaction. What...

Do you consider it to be the most vital part of the wedding day that everything is centered around or is it just going through the motions signing paper that you don’t feel guests care about and don’t...

So my fiance and I are having a lot of trouble finding a recessional song (the song you all walk out to at the end.) I'm looking for recommendations, our theme for our wedding is Kingdom Hearts and...
