Our wedding is this Saturday and the forecast says it’ll be 65 and rain. I know I can’t change the weather, and I know there’s still time for it to change. But how do I not let this bother me? In my...

Kid free church ceremony - is that right to do?
Maureen, on July 22, 2021 at 11:47 AM

My mother insists of having my niece at church. We’ve wanted a kid free day all along. She put in her head that my FMIL also wants her two grandchildren at church for pictures and such. My mom has...

"Ring Security" Ring Bearers: Mission Impossible Style
Deidra, on July 21, 2021 at 10:14 PM

I wanted to know some tips to doing a Mission Impossible themed ring bearer entrance. Two boys, one is 2, the other is 5. I like the whole idea of giving them a chance to get their wiggles out before...

i want to elope with no guests. He insists on having a 2nd ceremony for our parents.
Gort, on July 22, 2021 at 8:51 AM

He doesn't want our parents to feel left out so he wants to have a 2nd ceremony for them. It seems weird and a waste to have a wedding with only 2 guests. The only way I see this working is if we had...

Ceremonial procession no wedding party
Natalie, on July 21, 2021 at 6:55 PM

So I have no bridesmaids no maid of honor and no best man no groomsmen. For the ceremony before I walk down the aisle who should walk down instead if anything?

My fiance and I are on a very tight budget and we decided it would be fun to rent out a park pavilion and have our wedding and reception there! The location we are thinking about has a small pavilion...

MOH and Best Man
Margouettha, on July 19, 2021 at 7:25 AM

Do the MOH and Best Man walk in together after the bridesmaids and groomsmen? Or is it always typically the best man and groom that walks in together and MOH walks in by herself? Or does it not...

Where could i look for pan flute players?
Cassie, on July 16, 2021 at 7:40 PM

I'm going for a fairy/fae garden vibe for my wedding and pan flute music is perfect for this. But obviously this isn't a common musical instrument. Does anyone have suggestions for how to go about...
