So we met with the priest at my family’s church last week and the priest said that he would like my FH to be confirmed before we get married. He was technically baptized Catholic and made his first...

I'm nervous that I'm going to mess up my vows. Were you guys nervous? Did you or your spouse mess up during your wedding? I'm prone to mispronouncing and messing up when I'm talking normally, and it...

My father passed away when I was little and I don’t want anyone else to walk me down the aisle, so I will be walking alone. Any ideas on how to incorporate his memory into the walk down the aisle? I...
We are having a Catholic mass for our ceremony. We thought we would have the unity cross ceremony at the church, but the church won't make an exception for this. They only allow the unity candle,...

I have my song to walk down the aisle to all set. "Bless the broken road" by Rascal Flatts, but i'm drawing a total blank on the song for my MOH and bridesmaid to walk to. I've been wracking my brain...

We are each writing our own vows. What are you putting them on? Printing them on a piece of paper? Putting them in a little book? And should I have my maid of honor carry for me? Or the officiant?...
This is going to sound super stupid and whiny and I'm sorry in advance. Does anyone have advice for writing vows for someone who has spent a whole lotta years building up snarky walls who now has to...
