Ceremony/Reception
Hey everybody-
Ok ladies, i live in a very small town. Me and my fiance just bought a house.. The church we are getting married in is right across the street from us. And our reception is right next to our house ( it used to be the old school, but now is the community center)
Our wedding is at 2:00 PM and the meal is at around 6:00. Our ceremony is only going to last about 45 minutes. Considering a lot of people are from out of town, what do we have the guests do until we eat???
The dance won`t start until 8. The dj will play background music from 7-8.
Also how do I word that on our invitations. Any ideas???

Although it`s a day in honor of the bride and groom`s marriage it does not mean that it`s acceptable to be rude to guests. Shannon states "Just rememmber that this is your day and if that is what you want then that is what you should get." This is not the case, although may self-centered brides/grooms feel this way. The bride and groom should try to accomodate their guests as best as they can, within reason, so that they are not inconvenienced during the day. I also feel it`s rude to make your guests wait a significant period of time between the ceremony and reception.
It`s not all about the bride and groom.....the guests are very important also.
