Re: new to the board

Hey island girl! Are you part oof the VI posse? There are tons of ideas on here for ALL aspects of your wedding and we specialize in NON traditional for sure!

Welcome IslandBride and congratulations on your wedding. As Rosetta said there are tons of ideas here, gurl you just won't believe it. Since become acquainted with this site a few months ago I have learned so many wonderful ideas, and "met" some really cool, smart ladies in the process. Again, welcome, explore this site you will not be disappointed!!!!!

Island it baffles me that you have been here less than a month and already you have made such a tremendous impact with your intelligent on the point suggestions and your wonderous creativity.....I say a lot about your person, you must truly be an annointed woman of God and it is my pleasure to be here with you and the other VI possie. (Rosy's description)

I am new to the board and am stuck on choosing music. I am marrying my fh on 10/6/06. I love In You (I found love) by Glenn Jones - it just makes me thing of my fh everytime I hear it - however, I thought about coming into just a piano version - my soloist has an incredible voice and I don't want to take away from him or me during my entrance, so I thought having him sing the actual song after our Unity Candle lighting? And also, all my music for entering will be instrumental - not enough? Our soloist will sing the lords prayer after the pastor does his ministerial charge and prayer. Any thoughts for the recessional song???????

I am so glad I found this site..I need help!!!!!! I don\\\\\\'t have a flower girl and don\\\\\\'t know how to get a flower covered runner.

Welcome to the site sunny & onyx.

Sunny, do a search on forums for songs. We have a lot of different topics that discuss songs.

Onyx, are you talking about any of these types of runners? I'm not sure how much you are willing to spend. I also came across some much more expensive ones. Let me know your price range.

Septbride,

What do you mean by do a search on forums for songs?

Anyone with thoughts on the recessional?

Welcome Sunny21. If you go to the Bridal Forum on this site and check out the topic called Love Song Lyrics. You will find so many wonderful suggestions. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks DaughterRhonda! I have everything else under complete control and just about wrapped up, however, I have been stuck on this music thing since April!

You are welcomed my sister. You are amongst friends here, all of the ladies are wonderful and are so willing to help. Let us know what you decide on.

Hey Mo, did that runner come with the petals inside already?

Love the runner Niquey!!!!

Im new also islandbride, welcome. from what i read from everybody. this is like family here. im glad i come to this site too. very good advise here for us sistahs.

So true Sistahgyrl!

Septbride and Mo, thanks for the suggestions. In speaking with my FH the church\\\\\\'s center aisle is not the standard runner size, it\\\\\\'s much smaller. Can flower petals be given to people in the aisle seats and they sprinkle before I come down? What do you ladies think?

Onyx, I loooooooooooove that idea. I say go for it!!! They have smaller aisle runners as well. There's even carpet runners.

Septbride, Thanks so much for that feedback, I have gotten mixed reviews from family and friends when I tell them of that idea.

Hey there OnyxSwan. I agree with Askalot (SeptBride's nick name). I say go for it as well. Remember it is your wedding, do what makes you happy.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback...sometimes I get so overwhelmed that I forget that is\\\\\\'s MY DAY. You ladies are great for reminding me.

Onyx when you do things that make you happy, you will feel soooooo good about it! :-)

I personally have NEVER heard of this being done before. It is definately different and I think it will be beautiful! How do you feel about it? How does FH feel about it? Because that's ALL that really matters! This is your day and if you want it, do it up girl! :-) Everyone will have something to say about something. You can only please yourself. You can put some rose petals in little baggies (pretty ones of course) and have your ushers pass them out just before the ceremony starts. They can explain to your guests then what to do.

Well said Askalot!

I thought about having the ushers hand out the pretty petal filled bags after the majority of guest are seated so the ones on the aisle would get the bags or just leave bags on every aisle seat and by word of mouth have them toss the petals. My FH has no opinion on this issue, surprisingly because he has an opinion about everything else.

Personally, I like the usher handing out the bags idea the best. I'm sure things will work out beautifully, no matter how you decide to go.

Hi,

I sm new to the board. I am getting married soon and wanted to know good songs for the recessional. My musician plays the organ and I can't think of any good songs that will sound good during this part.
