Wedding ceremony length
Kara , on March 20, 2018 at 1:35 PM

Hey all, how long should I plan for the wedding ceremony last? We have a basic ceremony with 1 soloist song and a song for the unity candle. I was thinking 25-30 minutes tops?

Wedding Ring Box
Maria, on April 5, 2019 at 2:04 PM

I was just wondering how most of you presented or planned to have the best man present the rings at the ceremony? Do you leave them in their original boxes? Did you purchase a special double ring box?...

Parking garage rooftop ceremony!
Nicole, on April 3, 2019 at 8:29 PM

Has anyone had their ceremony on the rooftop of a parking garage? If you did, I'm sure it's a beautiful view, like what I have in mind How did you go about reserving/renting that space?

Elisa, on April 18, 2019 at 6:48 PM

I really want to walk down the aisle to an instrumental piano version of “Can’t Help Falling in Love With You” but is it cheesy now that Crazy Rich Asians has it in its wedding scene?

Riley, on May 26, 2019 at 9:32 PM

I have never seen a sand unity ceremony that the parents are involved is it possible? How would wording be? Or should I stick to the candle unity?
