If you're writing your own vows, what length is considered ideal? Should they be less than 30 seconds? Or 1-2 minutes? Or longer? Any specific word count that is considered ideal?

My church is saying my flower girl can’t throw out petals. I have a basket for her to carry. Should I just have her carry that? Put flowers in the basket? Wave instead of throw flowers? Not sure what...
I am getting married in 2 weeks. I’ve already to do this type of picture one for each of my grandmas. However I’d like an idea for my grandpas. Both were in the military, one was the navy and one in...

I am curious about price ranges you have paid for your officiants (ones that you did not know personally). I got a quote that I think is higher than typical fees. Thank you!

So my daughter is getting married and her dad and I have been divorced for many years. After we split I pretty much raised her and her brother. Out of respect for her dad she wants him to walk her...

Hi everyone! We are trying to figure out how to arrange our processional but there are a few complications so I would really appreciate any advice you can give! First, my grandfather has a lot of...
I told my FH a while ago that I thought it would nice to write a letter to each other and open it on our first anniversary. He didn’t say yes or no. But said that we would forget. Which is probably...
So, we are getting married in March and we don't have a flower girl. We just don't have any girls to do it. His mom came up with the idea of putting the petals into small boxes and the people sitting...

My fiancé and I are wanting to have our siblings stand by our sides at the wedding. We want to have my brother by me as a Man of Honor and my soon-to-be sister in law next to my fiancé as a Best...

Based on the local jurisdiction and legalities, which did you decide to go with and why?

What song are you using for your recessional? We aren’t having a church ceremony so I would love to do something fun. Just can’t decide.

I don't want kids at the ceremony. We saw those "flower guy" videos and asked an adult female friend to be Flower Girl. She declined. Without her, we're leaning more towards no flower girl at all...
So I'm having a bit of a dilemma. We are getting married in March 2023 in Iowa, which means daylight goes away around 430pm so we know we have to make sure our portrait photos are done before the...

Hi Brides!! I know a lot of brides are in the same situation as I am- so I'm reaching out for some help. My husband and I had an August 2020 wedding planned. We still got married in August at my...
Do you suggest real or fake petals to use for the guest to toss for the ceremony exit? If you’ve used fake petals, did they work just as well?

I really want an unplugged ceremony. At every wedding I've been to with our guests, they all have their phones out for key moments. I'm spending a fortune on photo and video and really don't want...
Hey everybody! So I’ve been contemplating this for MONTHS! I’m getting married next month and …. We’ll…‘I can’t walk. I’m awaiting a Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis and I’m currently not able to walk...
