Morgan, on January 18, 2021 at 10:37 PM

Has anyone else thought of being untraditional and using a song besides "here comes the bride" to walk down the aisle to?

Chantelle, on June 27, 2021 at 7:15 PM

For couples who did readings during ceremony: did your officiant do the readings or did wedding party members/family members do your readings? Thanks in advance
