Wedding Day Timeline

Hi Ladies-

I am to the point in planning where I am starting to draft my day of timeline.  Does anyone have any good samples? 

Thanks!

    I'm not sure if you wanted examples, but we had to give our 
    caterer a dinner time, so I put this together for us. Note -
    Our ceremony site is 30 minutes from the reception, but our
    photos will ONLY be done at ceremony location.

    Ceremony 3:30
    Receiving Line 3:50
    Start Photos 4:10
    End Photos 5:20
    Leave Ceremony Site 5:25
    Arrive Reception 6:00
    Grand Entrance 6:10
    Dinner Served 6:15
