The traditional order for a wedding processional and recessional varies depending on cultural, religious, and personal preferences. 

Traditionally, wedding toasts were given by the father of the bride, the groom, and the best man. But let’s be real, that’s an outdated list.

As an avid traveler, I always wanted a destination wedding. I saw myself getting married in Italy in a gorgeous lace dress with some ruins crumbling in the background.

Sometimes, one's enthusiasm for price guns leads to a towering display case of chinaware crashing down in the middle of a Macy's champagne wedding registry event.

And sometimes, that means traditional registries aren't for you. But you have options…

For most of history, the decision to change your name—or not—after marriage wasn't a decision at all. It was assumed that a woman would adopt her husband's name…But now, in many circles, the answer comes only after a lot of soul searching.
