Ask Abby

Here is an issue that so many brides and grooms struggle with…the music!

Question 4: We are having a non-religious ceremony on the beach with about 125 guests. The attire is formal and for the most part, the ceremony will be pretty traditional. The only thing left to plan is the entrance music for the parents/grandparents, the bridesmaids and for myself….I want something that is beautiful, but not over-the-top wedding (ie. no “here comes the bride”). We are completely stumped and not sure where to begin.  Any suggestions of great wedding music that isn’t too wedding-y?

Our next question comes from a reader who is looking for some creative groom gift ideas…

Question 2: My fiance loves sports (personally plays golf, but loves them all) and is an avid gambler. He’s not a fashionista so things like cufflinks are out. I want to get him something meaningful and clever and not resort to getting him a Wii or something like that.

Any fun ideas for this reader?

The last few weeks of questions have focused on color palettes, though in reality, wedding colors are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to tough decisions couples make throughout the wedding planning process. Here are a few brides that have hit stumbling blocks along the way….
