Do you do the rehearsal run for the ceremony walking (wedding ceremony that is) do you do that first & then eat, or do you eat first & then go rehearse the ceremony walking?Need to give the coordinator a time for the venue & then I guess schedule a reservation at a restaurant. I've been in 2 weddings before but I don't remember how they did it! Help! 4951

@mpjp0907: I'm so stumped on what to get my girls. I'm thinking about the single pearl necklace I want them to wear with their dress though. I'm already planning DH's groomsmen's gifts (with his help of course). His guys are going to love their ****. Thank you! Emoticon

I would eat first in case I get cold feet and want to bail. At least I would have gotten a good meal out of it. 4951

Not related to the rehearsal, but is 4:30pm an appropriate time to have a wedding at? I'm hesitant about the :30 part, but I'm thinking have the ceremony on the water from 4:30pm- 5pm, then go inside & have the reception from 5pm- 9pm. We are serving dinner, drinks, & cake of course. 4951

That's a little late. You need to make sure you leave enough time for wedding photos Emoticon 4951

@mpjp0907: It's on the water. I was thinking we could take pictures at sunset. Emoticon

@aggiebutterfly: Aww that's such a sweet idea! I LOVE IT! Considering we've been together for almost 10 years though, ours could be a short film, lmao. We'd really have to cut it down. How did you show it? Did the venue have a projector they let you use or something?

Yes they had a projector and speakers. I brought my laptop. It was about fifteen minutes but everyone thought it was a great idea.
 
Another idea is to have everyone who is coming to the rehearsal dinner send you a wedding pic or couples pic of themselves. You can incorporate into your slide show with a personal message from you and Dh as a thank you. 4951

@aggiebutterfly: Oh I looooooooooove this idea! I'm thinking I might have to do the same! What program did you use to make the slideshow? Powerpoint?

Keep in mind what time of year you're getting married. The sun doesn't set as soon in the summer, so 4:30 could be a little early for sunset pictures. You normally want to do pictures right after the ceremony so your hair, makeup, and clothes are still fresh. And for sure before you start drinking! I think the rehearsal dinner is supposed to be after the actual rehearsal. I got my bridesmaids the necklace i wanted them to wear, along with a monogramed hanky with their names on them. I got monogramed hankies for my mom, step-mom, grandma, and ken's mom also. I got my dad, step-dad, grandpa, and ken's dad the tie i wanted them to wear to the wedding. I thought it was a neat idea. Ken got his guys a small humidor with a few cigars in them. 4951

Take a lot of pictures but have a friend do it. It will save you money and if you're smart, you can put that $ into a savings account until you hire that divorce attorney.

It will save you a ton of $$$ and the pictures will turn out just as good if your friend knows anything about taking pictures.

@jax: We've already got an extremely talented photographer lined up, but his prices are SO much much more affordable than what other's are asking. I want professional. It seems silly to spend all that money on a nice wedding only to have people snap pictures with their cell phones or so-so digital cameras.Also, you have 2 daughters Jax. You should get used to the idea of women & weddings- you'll be there yourself in a few years. Just because your own marriage didn't end well, that doesn't mean that's how it has to be for everyone. My own parents have been married for 32 years & his for 27 years. When your girls find love, I hope you're excited for them, encouraging, & optimistic. Everyone deserves that happiness, even you!

@aggiebutterfly: Hubby did that for my son's wedding and played it during the dinner.  Hubby also planned a few trivia games for the bride & groom.  It was a lot of fun.Remember the decorations for the rehearsal dinner.
