BRIDE & GROOM UNIVERSITY

We meet with lots of couples, all of them different. Despite their differences, there is one fairly consistent theme we see with them - most of our couples don't have a clue about what they're doing or "supposed to be" doing in regard to planning the different aspects of their wedding. In fact, they often have many more questions than answers.

In response to this, we've developed Bride & Groom University. We've taken a look at hundreds of articles and other educational links and included them in the University. Clicking on the section links below will take you to these articles, and your education can begin in earnest. We ask you to please bear with us, as this is a work in progress, and we are always adding and refining. We hope what we've provided to this point will begin to help you answer some of those most important questions about your most important day.
