Wedding ceremony speech
Marjoyrie, on September 24, 2021 at 2:28 PM

Would it be strange if I was the only one who says a one minute love speech for my FH? He doesn’t want to do one for me because he doesn’t like being center of attention. Will it look like he doesn’t...

Entrance/exit music
ArizonaDreaming, on September 2, 2021 at 8:42 PM

We are less than 3 weeks out. I am trying to find a good song to walk down the aisle to and for us to exit together. What are your choices?

i really want personalised vows but fh doesn't - will i regret if we don't have them?
mrswinteriscoming, on October 31, 2021 at 11:58 PM

I always wanted to have personalised vows at my wedding because I think they form the most beautiful part of the wedding ceremony and are what make the ceremony sentimental. We are only going to have...

Do i actually need vip florals?
Samantha, on November 1, 2021 at 10:43 AM

Hi everyone! I'm working on getting a few of our remaining vendors booked (just rentals and florist left, I think) and I've received a price list from a florist. The prices seem very reasonable, but...

Has anyone done both vows and sand ceremony at the wedding ceremony? I’m wanting to do both but not sure if that would be weird to do both.
