Mr & Mrs .... we walk back down the isle... then where do you go after that our reception is in the same building as the chapel.. like you walk in the door of the capel and you see both the cermony room and reception room is up a few stairs but you can still see it... So i just dont know.... i read somewhere the you can do a recieving line where you meet and greet with guests but i dont want it to be ackward...i just dont know... lol!!

    If you want to do the recieving line, go to the back of the aisle.  If you don't want to do one, the wedding party can follow you to another spot (typically back to the "getting ready" area).  Then your guests are escorted into the reception for cocktail hour, and you go back to the ceremony area and do your formal pictures before being introduced into the reception.

    Our ceremony and reception are in the same hotel suite.  The current plan is to exit down the aisle and out into the hallway, where we'll take a few pictures by ourselves and then start calling people out of the "cocktail hour" (we'll just have some snack trays set up in the room until the real food comes) to do the family shots.  Then we'll send everyone back into the room, take a few minutes to catch our breaths and be alone, and make our entrance.I think this is how it will work, anyway.  I haven't even seen the room in person yet.Now, I'm only having about 50 people, so if your wedding is bigger, the logistics might be different.  This is just what we're doing.
    This is a neglected planning bio.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    We are also have everything at one location. We have decided that we will not do the meet & greet w. guest b.c we need to take pictures w. WP and Family right after. The FG and RBs will not ge attending the reception b.c its an adult reception. Once you walk down the aisle you should ask your venue host where yall can go and then have them escort the guest to cocktail hour. We have made up our minds we will mingle with our guest during the actual reception.  HTH.. GL!

    My wedding is going to be similar in that the reception will immediately follow in basically the same room even as the ceremony. The way I am handling this is that when my fiance and I walk up the aisle together, we will stop under an awning that seperates the 2 sections, and from there we will greet all the guests as they move into the reception. Then there will be people to rearrange the ceremony area to provide more room for the reception.
