Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum. I've been engaged for a little over a year now and we're hoping to have the wedding in fall 2015 (plenty of time to plan, phew).
So here's the scoop: neither of us are drinkers. All of his family lives about an hour away, and most of mine will either be driving anywhere between 2 & 5 hours to come to the ceremony or flying in. He's not a dancer in any regard (though he's promised the first dance is okay by him).
Knowing that about us, can anyone speak to having a brunch wedding, perhaps with a coffee bar instead of regular bar? We could have breakfast cocktails or 'spikes' for the coffee since I'm pretty sure it's a faux pas to not have booze at your wedding, but I guess I'm curious how long the event is supposed to go if you have that kind of schedule? Do you need post-event-events? Is it better for partying/traveling/dancing to have weddings later in the day?
Thank you!
