Two were sung, two were played on the piano and a third was played on the flute. We had people tell us afterwards that they weren't expecting some of those songs at a wedding, but it worked because they were played as instrumentals. Our guests understood the significance...that the songs were "our songs". Also,if you are having a religious ceremony and have a friend or family member that is a clergy member, ask if they will officiate or co-officiate. We were married in an orthodox church, but were able to have my husband's uncle (from a different denomination) co-officiate and bring his special touch to our wedding. Now that he is no longer with us, it is extra special that he was part of our wedding ceremony.

I have been looking thru a few of the "big name" wedding sites, and yours just simply takes the blah out everyday wedding ideas. it is so refreshing and great. i do have one question for you- i have been looking everywhere for a dress with a vintage, country chic look...specifically, light, white…(here comes the hard part) with a squared/scoop chest, three or four buttons down the middle, almost like a corset top, giving it a light summery-country look. Just like the “classic white summer dress” but very delicate, whimsical, if you will:) i'm hoping to go...wild flowers..i am almost having better luck looking in the bridesmaid sections...any ideas?

I know you aren't interest in things related to golf or beer steins, which they have, but they also have tons of other things too. I'm a big fan of getting something personal for each groomsman rather than the same thing for all of them, as well as getting something they could actually use and enjoy.

Instead of just writing your vows, you could handcraft the entire ceremony from different online sources. We did this because all of the words really mattered to us, but my husband was too shy to read his own vows, and we didn't really want friends or family to participate in the actual ceremony. We also had the "Blessing of the Hands" read: These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow, and forever. These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as together you build your future. These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years and, with the slightest touch, will comfort you like no other. These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief fills your mind. These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes; tears of sorrow and, as in today, tears of joy. These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children, the hands that will help you to hold your family as one. These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it. And lastly, these are the hands that, even when wrinkled and aged, will still be reaching for yours, still be giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.
