Aisle entrances
Ashley, on March 9, 2021 at 2:57 PM

Hey everyone We have 5 bridesmaids & 5 groomsmen would it be better if they walked together or have the groomsmen usher them? Also what is everyone thoughts on MOB and MOG walking down the aisle?...

Both Parents Walking Me Down Aisle
Victoria, on March 11, 2021 at 11:50 AM

Hi, Has any bride ever had both parents walk them down the aisle? I very much want my dad to walk me down, but my mom is one of my best friends and I thought about having her walk with us as well....

It is okay not to have a bridal party? We were thinking about not having one, but I don’t want the ceremony to look weird or empty.

Marycris, on March 9, 2021 at 11:58 PM

I don’t have any guests that can ordain our wedding. So how does one pick? I just don’t want a “stranger” marrying us. If you know what I mean. Any tips on how to pick one??

Officiant
Marielle, on February 16, 2021 at 1:35 PM

When we booked our venue, an officiant was included but we took it off because it saved us $200 and my fiancé and I loved the idea of a close friend or family member marrying us. My fiancé’s...

Are you having a wedding rehearsal? Does your officiant, or you venue, require it? How did you invite those involved in your wedding to the rehearsal? Photo from Pinterest
