I don't know if this is actually it, but I think it is when they have all the married couples on the dance floor and then they have them stop dancing by shortest length of time (reverse chronological order), so the last dancing couple would be the longest married couple. My LS did this at her wedding and then the longest married couple gave them some words of wisdom. It was cute.

I meant the entire day timeline... like from wake up to go back to sleep or have sex or whatever will happen after the wedding. lol
