Personalize Your Wedding Ceremony | Wedding Pro

When it comes to personalizing wedding ceremonies, we often think of writing our own vows, customizing the unity celebration, or choosing readings that mean something personal to us. Maybe we even think of having someone close to us perform the ceremony.
But, the options are truly limitless! Allie the Wedding Officiant shares stories of how her couples have created truly unique celebrations in this week's episode.

Lean into Doing What You Want on Your Wedding Day | Wedding Pro

We're kind of normal-adjacent in the wedding world right now. It's not 100% back to carefree celebrations, but we're getting there. And, one of the cool things that has come out of the "pause" is that couples are doing what they really want during their celebrations.
Lean into that! Embrace it! You deserve to be happy and you shouldn't feel obligated to celebrate in a way that doesn't feel like YOU!

Guests Behaving Badly is Never Your Fault | Wedding Pro

"I want to reiterate to couples that they should never take this bad behavior personally." Guests aren't always on their best (or most considerate) behavior before, during, and after your wedding. And, when that happens, it's not your fault!
Leah Weinberg of Color Pop Events is on a mission to reassure couples that no matter who might be giving you attitude, complaining, or just not acting in the most respectful way — it's not about you; it's about them.

A Bilingual Lakeside Wedding in Maine | Married Human

"We wanted a ceremony that included our parents because merging families was a big reason behind getting married — and wanted everyone to be able to understand the ceremony, so we created a very intentional bilingual ceremony and celebration."
When Elyse and her husband were getting married, they wanted to be certain that everyone could understand and participate in the celebration. So, they decided to have a friend get ordained and perform the ceremony in both English and Spanish. 
And it doesn't stop there. This wedding is amazing!
Get all the details of this remote lakeside wedding in Maine on this week's episode of The Wedding Dish!
