What time is your wedding?

That last "Afternoon Wedding" post got me thinking... is my wedding time the norm? So ladies, what time is your ceremony & reception? Cocktail hour or no cocktail hour?
 
My ceremony will be from 3:00-3:30 PM, and my reception will be from 3:30-9:00 PM, no cocktail hour (too expensive). I am hoping they will keep busy with the guest book and such while we take our new newlywed/family photos.

We are doing ceremony from 4-4:30p. Immediately followed by cocktail hour for ceremony guests only while the ceremony chairs are brought to reception tables and bride/groom/family photos are being done. Then 5:30-10:30 is our reception. Dinner probably at 6:30. Our venue is outdoors and will be the ceremony and reception site.
