40-Plus Brides

What to do when people are always late

There are three people in my wedding party who are always, ALWAYS late.  I want them to get to our rehearsal dinner on time, no excuses.  I guess I could tell them that we are starting earlier than I actually plan to start, but really.... these people are all 40+ years old and I hate to do something that you usually have to resort to with people who are much younger.

Is there a way to tell them that they have to be there when it's time to start.... or I am starting without them?

These people are dear to me, and I don't want to start a fight but I can tell you right now, unless I do something, they will be late for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.  I am assuming they can get it together to be on time for the wedding.

Regardless, the rehearsal will start on time.  No waiting.  :-)

When I say they are habitually late, I am not talking about 5 minutes.  I am talking about 30 minutes or more.
