Greeter at ceremony

Who greeted guests at your ceremony? The best man? A relative of the bride or groom? I am looking to have someone greeting guests and inviting them to sign the guestbook. We are also having a photo...

Our officiant has sent us a few scripts to go over and edit as we wish for the ceremony. We have everything done except for our introduction. My FH last name is short but different enough and well no...

Pairing bridesmaids with groomsmen
Anna, on March 20, 2019 at 7:41 PM

How are you pairing together who walks with who? Random? By height? By length of time you’ve known them? Also, would it be weird to pair my female cousin with my brother?

Sunny, on March 20, 2019 at 12:01 PM

Appropriate walking down the aisle song?
Erica, on March 4, 2019 at 9:17 PM

Hi all! We’re in the process of picking our ceremony music. What did you all choose to walk down to? We love “every breath you take” (instrumental- violin and cello), but is it appropriate ? Or no,...
