XP: Scheduling Question

We are having a small wedding in a town about 160 miles from our home.  Our guests will be traveling from various parts of the state.  Due to various circumstances amongst the guests and the fact that it is a holiday weekend, we are not having an “official” rehearsal the day before.  Also, we only have the photographer for 2 hours (for the ceremony) and need to take some pics before the wedding starts.  Would it be “bridezilla-ish” if I were to send an email a few weeks before indicating how the ceremony will work?

    Hmmm.  Maybe I'm not getting the point here. But I think most folks know that the ceremony will "work" by joining the couple legally, possibly spiritually, depending on your beliefs.    Other than the attendants, (if you have any, you've hopefully been communicating with them!) who needs to know that there won't be a rehearsal, and the photographer will only be there for 2 hours?

    Are you asking about attendants?  We didn't plan on having a rehearsal, either, and we just asked the attendants to be at our home for pictures an hour before the ceremony. 

    Do you think your out of town guests will expect to be invited to a rehearsal and dinner?  If that's the case, I would just casually mention by word of mouth that there won't be a rehearsal. They should need a formal uninvitation, since they shouldn't assume they'd be invited unless they received an invitation.

    Basically, it would just be to communicate the logistics of the ceremony.  There will be some extra walking due to flood damage in the park from last year.  Also, it's a small area that we aren't able to have chairs in, so some people will probably have to stand - depending on the number of people who actually show up.

    As for the photographer, we are only having her for the ceremony by our choice.

    I think once you get your RSVPs then you might want to send a note about "here's in the park where we're having the ceremony, and here's the closest place to park."  Or something like that.  But I guess I'm still not getting why you need to tell anyone other than attendants about the rehearsal that's not happening, other than there won't be one.
