  • When you're selecting song for a Bride to walk down the aisle to, should the song represent the sentiment from the Bride to Groom, vice versa or?

    I agree that the song should represent you as a couple, but as that song is usually saved for the first dance, I would pick something else that suits the mood you want to create for your wedding. If you are looking for a more reverent and romantic ceremony, pick something that for the two of you conveys that tone. If you more in to a casual, breezy ceremony, choose something that falls in to those lines. I am a huge fan of "non-traditional" songs for processionals because they really personalize the wedding, but they can be slow, sultry, or somber OR upbeat, funky, toe-tappers that everyone knows... whatever you think represents your wedding to each other - and it doesn't have to be a song you've loved together for years - it can just be one you land on that you agree suits your marriage :)

    Stop Staring (http://www.stopstaringclothing.com/),

    Walking down the aisle (recessional): Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros "Home"

    First Dance: Magnetic Fields "You're My Only Home"

    Two of my favorite non-traditional wedding songs to incorporate!

  • I have friends who are "photographers" (they've done some weddings). We're on a budget but should I shell out 40% of my budget to hire a professional?

    I truly believe photography is one of the things in your wedding that is worth whatever portion of your budget you can spend on it; however, if photographers are less important to you than music or food and beverage, then by all means, go with the friend. Word of warning: I would strongly suggest that these friends should have "wedding photography" experience and not just photography experience. Their expertise in the area will greatly improve your photos! If photos are something that you see as very important, then I would go ahead and splurge. Keep searching for photographers that might fall within your budget - price point does not necessarily reflect the quality of the photography, and finding a photographer that is closer to your budget but still a legitimate wedding photographer will leave you much happier with your photos than a friend who's passion is photography.
