Thanks! Our ceremony will also start at 5:30 so this helps give me a starting point! Thanks again.

I used the template from this website you've probably seen.
www.adorkableduo.com
The template is under the DIY tab, click DIY menu, and scroll down to Timeline.
I was looking for something simple and easy and this was it. I of course added a few things here and there to make it my own. HTH!

no problem! 

FYI I thought I was planning too much time for things (like getting ready) because I felt like things would go faster, but we actually started running behind a little - which was actually ok because I had planned so much time. For example, you'll notice I left 30 minutes to get from Greenlake-ish area (parent's house) to the UW... which is not necessary, but I think we ended up leaving around 1:15 if not later and we still had plenty of time especially because we had until 3:45 to take pictures there.  It seems like a long time, but it really wasn't and it never felt like we were trying to fill time.
