My Story

About Rose

Founder of Church of Jesus Christ Wedding Planning

I’m Rose—a mother of six, creator of "epic parties", holiday enthusiast, and self-taught web designer who built her very first site through prayer, persistence, and HTML.

Over a decade ago, I launched WeddingLDS.com with a simple mission:
To help LDS brides and their families plan beautiful, sacred, stress-free weddings that reflect their faith.

Back then, there weren’t many resources that spoke directly to the needs of Latter-day Saint couples—especially those planning a temple sealing, a modest reception, or a joyful open house. So I rolled up my sleeves, said a prayer, and began building what I wished existed.

Along the way, I drew from my experience as a restaurant manager, caterer, DJ, and wedding planner—and from the countless heartfelt conversations I had with young missionaries we housed in our home over the course of seven years. When they heard what I was building, they lit up. “We need that!” they told me. So I listened.

With their encouragement and real-world insights, WeddingLDS.com was born.

With a rich history of orchestrating over 80 events and empowering thousands of LDS brides through my online platform, WeddingLDS.com, my commitment to simplifying the wedding planning process is unwavering. My approach is tailored, thoughtful, and grounded in a deep understanding of the unique traditions and values that define weddings for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. And now, in alignment with President Nelson’s invitation to use the full name of the Church, I'm moving forward as ChurchofJesusChristWeddingPlanning.com.

I’m on a mission to...

...help Latter-day Saint brides plan their wedding with confidence and clarity—while staying grounded in what matters most.

Through 3–6–9 month planning timelines, LDS-specific checklists, 21 wedding planning books I wrote by hand, and inspiration rooted in gospel-centered values, I’m here to walk with you from “I Will” to “Yes.”

Whether you’re the bride, the groom, the mom, the aunt, the friend, or even a wedding vendor hoping to better serve the LDS community—this resource is for you.

Let’s make your wedding day beautiful, joyful, and sacred—together. 💗
