After reading other posts on timelines, I'm getting pretty freaked out mine is going to be a disaster...
Basically, we picked our reception place 1st-the venue we chose offers either 12-5 or 6:30-12. So, we went with
the afternoon hours due to family who have young kids and also who have to drive. However, we are also getting married in a Church and they will only do 11am because they reserve earlier for funerals (we are having a ceremony not mass, and church is 5 minutes from reception). I am having my hair done, not sure if all my BMs are getting their hair done, but the stylist is a friend and said she could come as early as 5am if needed. Hoping NOT! Not having a make up pro. I also reserved the photographer for 6 hours and he will do the groom's pics before the wedding, not of us girls, so that gets some pictures out of the way. Because the wedding is in July and cocktail hour is at noon, there is no way we will be able to do more than 1/2 hour or so of pictures outside (not just cuz it'll be hot, but position of sun will make pictures less than ideal). I am hoping to get most done at the Church anyway.
Anyway, I guess what I am freaked about is there is NO leeway for any thing to go astray. I am keeping things extremely simple. I gave the photograoger a list of "must get pictures" and I am not going to lengths to get silly/crazy pictures. Hopefully that helps time wise.
My real question here is: am I deusional in thinking this could work or is it possible??? My cousin had the same time frame and all went so smoothly! Or so I thought...
