Lyrics or instrumental processional song?
Lynnie, On April 21, 2019 at 16:05

Is the song you chose for your walk down the aisle instrumental, or are you playing a version with lyrics? What's your processional song? 🎶 Photo from St Boniface Golf Club in Winnipeg

Lynnie, On April 15, 2019 at 12:19

Thoughts on a "standing" wedding ceremony?
