Scripture reading for a wedding-- thoughts?
Elizabeth, on March 26, 2021 at 2:23 PM

Any thoughts on this reading for a wedding? Some of the Pharisees came to him, and to test him they asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause?” He answered, “Have you not read...

Are you going for short and sweet straight to the point? Or longer with religious/cultural rituals added? Is your officiant reading something completely unique or having an offbeat mini ceremony to...

No wedding party ?
Stefanie, on April 7, 2021 at 6:50 PM

Is anyone else not having a wedding party? We are actually thinking of having our kids stand next to us and have my best friend marry us. Has anyone else done this?

Already married but having a big wedding.
Heather, on April 6, 2021 at 10:30 PM

I’m finally having the big wedding but I’m legally already married. Had a small covid wedding last June. Is it ok to have a short maybe even comical wedding ceremony? I honestly don’t even feel like...

4Pm vs 4:30pm ceremony? Receiving lines?? Separate venues
Emily, on April 2, 2021 at 8:57 PM

Hi all, I’m really torn between the two start times, but I’m leaning towards 4:30 because of the “good luck” associated with the time. Our church is ~10 min drive from our reception venue, a popular...

Seating with covid in Mind
Chelsea, on April 4, 2021 at 9:44 PM

I'm having an outdoor wedding in June. I'm not exactly sure how to go about seating for the ceremony. Did anyone have a clever way to sit people safely?

Emily, on March 29, 2021 at 9:13 AM
