| 2006-07-05 | Cathy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks so much! Even though I asked for advise, I would have planned to do it otherwise! I have always been one to "step outside the box". I have recently hears a beautiful song by Celine Dion entitled "Every Mother's Prayer" This may be the song we choose! How about this..... She is my only daughter, and her two older brothers (in their early 30's) are going to participate as "brothers of the groom". They will walk down the aisle right in front of my daughter and her father. Almost as if "walking her down the aisle as well". They have always been her protectors and this is something that I felt would be appropriate. Groomsmen just did not seem to enough! To show you how I think outside the box, I have a 7 year old son as well.... he will be a junior groomsman and have a spot in the wedding party as well!Again, many thanks for responding!

| 2006-01-17 | Heather | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Mr. Wiest totally set our minds at ease regarding whether or not it was proper to play 2 selections of music during our ceremony or not. My fiance and I, although we were wanting to include music DURING prayer and DURING our vows, were not sure and were going to side with caution and leave them out even though we REALLY wanted our violinist and harpist to play them. I stumbled upon AllExperts.com and decided it wouldn't hurt to ask and are we thrilled I did!? Thank you so much Mr. Wiest! We will feel much more confident now and your reply, coming from such an expert, warmed our hearts. We will save your reply for our wedding scrapbook! THANK YOU! |
