Changes to ceremony at vow renewal?
Kristina, on May 24, 2021 at 8:11 PM

My husband and I got married on our original wedding date in a small family-only ceremony due to COVID. We’re having the bigger wedding this Fall and plan on doing the ceremony again. Did anyone else...

Aisle runners
Jay1, on November 15, 2019 at 11:47 AM

Is anyone having an aisle runner outside? My venue told me they're not that great for ceremonies outdoors because of bumps in the ground. I saw this new trend of having a mirrored reflective aisle...

Do over
Janae, on October 15, 2019 at 6:07 AM

Just a question. Would it be weird if I did a wedding day do over? I have had my wedding day but it was not how I envisioned it. I want to make it right. Ever since it ended, I just feel like it was...

Who manages the train of the bride before she walks down the aisle? sorry if this is a silly question.
Vivien, on May 23, 2021 at 4:59 PM

Hi! I am confused by what I read online in that in a church (Catholic) ceremony, the bridesmaid(s) walks first. I would say my dress has a chapel train. I am also only having one maid of honor /...

One of my flower girls will be one on our wedding day. While she may be walking, she won't be able to make it down the isle so I'd like to put her in a wagon pulled by another flower girls. Did any of...

Hi All. Wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions on what would be a good exit song to play that isn't very traditional. For my entrance song, I'm choosing a string quartet version of the "Ice...

Seating
Yolanda, on May 17, 2021 at 10:13 PM

So how do you seat guests if the bride has 99% of the guests? I would like my cousins, aunts & uncles there. My cousins usually divide into their own immediate groups as it is. My fiancé just...

My FFIL has his old wedding ring from when he was married to my FMIL (now divorced). He asked if I wanted to give it to my FH as a wedding gift, which I thought would be nice. It's gold, which is not...

To include chair or not? Maybe only a couple?
Arianna, on May 11, 2021 at 5:29 PM

Hey ladies! So long story short my fiancé wants to have chairs for guests to sit at the wedding and I don’t see a point for 15 minutes. My soon to be mother in law suggested maybe half the number of...

I’m looking for a place to have my ceremony and reception. The place that I booked won’t allow outside caterers which I’ve already hired and paid. Can I get the recommendations?
