Wedding Dilemma – What to do with the guests between ceremony and reception?

Thursday, April 16th, 2009
ubiquitous53 asked:


So here’s my situation – my wedding is on a Saturday next July, and I have booked both the church and the reception location. Both locations are PERFECT.

Here’s the problem – it’s a big Catholic church, and there are masses on Saturdays at 5:15. The options for a wedding ceremony is 11 am and 2pm due to the mass. Problem is, the reception location won’t allow anything to start until 6pm. That means the cocktail hour starts at 6pm.

The drive between the two locations is about 20-30 minutes, provided there is only light traffic on the way there. I plan on having the receiving line at the church after the ceremony is over (they have a great location for it) and the ceremony will probably last about 30 minutes.

So my question – if the ceremony starts at 2 and the reception at 6, am I supposed to provide something for the guests to do in between? I’m also working with a VERY limited budget, and the wedding theme itself is casual/semiformal-ish. Any help is appreciated!

Parents divorcing – upcoming wedding?

Just when we got engaged…my parents announced that they are getting divorced. I feel that they are selfish and they could have waited a while for me to enjoy the moment and get married with a “happy family”. My dreams of the perfect wedding with my mom and dad at the bride and groom table, or their wedding picture at the cake table, or perfect family portraits are shattered.

My mom and I are not talking to each other since I walked in on her with another man in our house…the other man was a good family friend. That is also the reason for the divorce.
I don’t want my mom at my wedding and I don’t want to be associated with her. (A lot has happened since I walked in on them)
I just thank God every day for the perfect man he send to me! My fiancee has been THE BEST EVER! He is superman. And he even said we can postpone the wedding if that was what I needed. But I know I want to spend the rest of my live with this man.

My question is…how do I handle all off this?
How do I word my invitations?
How do I enjoy the day without all the bad memories in my head?
I think you guys are really rude. I am 20yrs old and still living with them if that makes any difference.
I AM EMPLOYED! In fact I am employed with a bursary…
