  5:30 Ceremony Starts
  5:40 Ceremony Actually Starts (I buffered in starting late because my family is like that) Ceremony runs 15-20 min
  6:00 or directly after ceremony ends reception begins. Guests are invited upstairs. (Find Escort Cards, Grab a Drink, Use photobooth for guest book, mingle.
  6:15 Passed Apps go out
  6:30 MC will ask people to begin taking seats
  6:35 Begin Welcome Message, Start Family Intros (This is a cultural thing for us), Wedding Party Intro, then Bride and Groom Intro
  6:50 Pastor does blessing for food.
  7:00 tables 1,2,3 get released to buffet, DJ to Proceed appropriately.
  7:30 B&G are going to start visiting tables, while people eat. (This again is a cultural thing, instead of a receiving line, we go and visit individual tables.
  8:40 Dress Change, DOC to tell caterer to start cutting sheet cake in kitchen
  8:45 Cake Cutting.
  8:50 DJ Makes Announcement Grab a Bev will start toast in 5 min

  Edit to include the following:
