Creating a DVD for friends.

Is it Bill and Jill's wedding or Bill and Jills wedding?

Would you put the man or womans name first?
The only capital letters should be the names right?

If it's a title, I would put Bill and Jill's Wedding.

GuessWhatIAmANameChanger · 30/06/2009 12:51

Do you mean for the title? I thought all "major" words in a title used capital letters ...

BitOfFun · 30/06/2009 12:51

You could capitalise the "and" too, but it's not necessary.

Bill and Jill's wedding.

I'd do man first and only capitals on their names.

I'd put Bill and Jill's Wedding

If they've just got married would you not be better to put Mr & Mrs XXXX's wedding (assuming that she has changed her name of course)

Or, the wedding of Bill and Jill xxxxx?

Thanks everyone. I went with The Wedding of Bill and Jill.

And at the end I had Mr and Mrs xxxx i exploding font.

It should be Jill and Bill's Wedding. The woman takes precedence when not being addressed as Mr and Mrs.
