My wife and I recently found out that friends of ours who are getting married in October are having a 1:30 ceremony and 5:30 reception. They said this on their wedding website and also stated that there are no set activities during that time but guests are encouraged to relax at their hotels, etc.
I'm just curious if any of you have been to weddings that have done this and does it work well at all? I hadn't ever really heard of a gap between the two until now.
