Ceremony Delimas

So my FH and I decided to have ceremony and reception at the venue. The ceremony is only 30 min from start to finish. My bridal party is 21 people, should I have them all walk in or just have my maid of honor and flower girl and ring barrer and have the others at the alter already ? Ideally I want them all to walk for the video but don't think time will be on my side, any ideas. Also I would like to do a sand ceremony or candle lighting but again time is against me is it weird not to do it ? Has anyone been in this situation?

    [QUOTE]I think 10+ couples plus parents, flower girl, etc. walking in is a lot, but since the ceremony is short, it would probably be okay. I would probably just have the BP stand up front though. They will recess out and can get on the video then. <strong>Personally, I think the unity ceremonies are really unnecessary. The wedding ceremony is a unity ceremony, lighting candles or pouring sand just seems redundant.</strong>

    <div>I couldn't agree more.  If you're worried about time, then you can skip unity ceremonies.  They don't add much that isn't already covered in a traditional wedding ceremony anyway.  </div><div>
    </div><div>But I guess I don't understand why you're worried about time if your ceremony and reception will be at the same venue.   I mean, if you go over by 5 minute or so, what's the big deal?   Your guests might have 5 fewer minutes of dancing, but that's NBD.   </div>

  • If your wedding party is that huge, I would skip having them all walk in and just have your MOH and FG walk in.  It's probably not a big deal if you go over since everything is at the same venue, but your guests may not want to sit through that lengthy parade.  I did a unity cand;e the first time I got married, but I don't see us doing that or any other unity thing, as Liatris said, the whole ceremony is a unity ceremony, the rest is redundant.
  • Thank you guys so much I really appreciate the input
