My favorite Christmastime wedding. I especially like this photo because the bride walked down the aisle herself, but her groom came from the front and met her halfway.

The winter holiday season begins this week with Thanksgiving. 🦃 It is also the beginning of the 2026 engagement season 💍 so we thought we’d share some info on wearing engagement and wedding rings.

Have you ever wondered which finger (and hand!) your engagement ring and wedding band are meant to be worn on? Here, we explain which finger you traditionally wear your wedding ring on and delve into the intriguing history of the wedding ring finger and why you might choose (or not choose) to follow...

What a way to end the last of our big Fall weddings (a week ago on Saturday)! It was a beautiful sunny day with temps in the 70's. Most importantly, it was a sacred ceremony that was filled with so much love, joy, and fun. Wishing Scott & Vicki a lifetime of cherished memories as they begin their new journey together!!

Here is one example of other events that we provide. To our couples that we have married, we would love to support you in honoring other lifetime events in your lives such as baby blessings or baby naming ceremonies that can be non-denominational or secular.

Rev. Annika appreciates every aspect of a ceremony, but she acknowledges that the beginning processional always warms her heart. Most couples devote considerable time to selecting the ideal songs that establish the tone for the remainder of the ceremony and reflect their personal preferences, including their family and friends
accompanying them down the aisle.

For couples choosing wedding music to walk down the aisle to, consider these unique bridal processional songs. In our list of alternative wedding songs for your walk down the aisle, you'll find all kinds of genres and moment-appropriate love songs from artists like Sade, Chris Stapleton, Led Zeppeli...

We welcome Cody & Bridget to our Heart and Soul Weddings family. They will be getting married here on Saturday. They are coming in from out of town. These two ❤️💛 Kansas City and want to get married near a willow tree. What a perfect spot.
