So the idea is to have our wedding on a tall ship (kinda like a big sail boat, all wooden and awesome looking). We wanted it to be a mid-morning ceremony with a brunch reception. We're going this weekend to see the ship and finalize this stuff.
Most of our guests are going to be from out of town and I kinda feel bad for asking them to travel this far (most are driving ~10 hours) and then everything be over by like 2 in the afternoon. I was trying to think of something to do so it doesn't feel like I just ditched all my guests :-/ Would it be weird to have a beach party after? Not nearly as organized an event as the reception, but just something so we could all chill out and socialize and stuff after the wedding....
I've never really heard of anyone doing something like this. We both like it - a way to spend more time with our families in a more relaxed environment.
What do you guys think?
