Anyone getting married outside in September?
Ana, on January 27, 2019 at 7:42 PM

FH and I are discussing having the ceremony outside. The Venue has a nice outdoor space. I think it would be nice to have the ceremony outside then move inside for the reception. FH says it’s too hot...

I’m trying to decide if I want to do a first look before my ceremony with my groom. What are the benefits to doing one? For those who have, why did you do it? Did you regret it? For those who didn’t,...

Overplayed Processional Songs
Malki, on January 22, 2019 at 5:52 PM

Another thread inspired me to ask...what songs do you guys hear at every wedding? I have only been to two weddings and I don’t want my guests rolling their eyes at us for being cliche.
