    I've always questioned this also.  I have only been to one Catholic wedding that had a gap.  I wonder if it has to do with the part of the country you are in.  Cincinnati and Boston are pretty heavily Catholic so I wonder if the churches there are more accomodating by scheduling 4:00 or 7:00 weddings.

    I'm not asking this to be a smartass or snarky, but why do couples put so much importance on an evening reception?  Maybe this is the wrong crowd to ask since it doesn't seem like you guys did!

    Doesn't Philly also have a solid Catholic base? 

    In PGH it seems to vary between churches- Our church has wedding masses at 1pm and 3pm on Saturdays, but another large church similar to ours has their masses at 2pm and 4pm on Saturdays.

    Sometimes, I'm not invited to my friends' children's birthday parties because I don't have kids. I'm not offended at all. Some events are for adults and some are for kids and some are for both.

    I flame guests who take offense that their little snowflake(s) isn't invited to a wedding. Either, you can get a babysitter or not go.

    I'm completely off topic here. But, I can't stand it when people bring their kids to a bar. I have seen this happen more frequently lately. Again, not every event or outing is appropriate for kids.

    I <em>really </em>wanted to do floating lanterns and sparklers (lame, I know) so that required darkness for the full effect. Also, the venue of our reception has the most beautiful views overlooking a lake/mountains and captures the sunsets perfectly (It's called The Sunset Ballroom). So those were my reasons for an evening reception. Also we're having the wedding on a Sunday after church and we don't have a set time on when church will end so I wanted to be sure to give everyone enough time to get ready.

    <div>I personally don't get the allure of an evening reception.  FI however was seriously disappointed when he realized it wouldn't be in the cards for us (our VIPs can't attend a nighttime reception for medical reasons).  Family being there > evening reception.  But he was still disappointed.  He said he wanted it at night because a) he's a night person (I'm not), b) all the other weddings he's ever been to are at night so he thinks that's more "normal" and c) he doesn't think people will dance as much during the day because they won't be drinking as much (and the two in his mind are related).</div><div>
    </div><div>To make him happy I agreed to planning an after-party.  Compromise, right?</div>

    I flame people getting their feelings hurt because their friends who have dated not as long as they have get engaged/married first.

    I don't even think this is a flame but an LOL to someone describing the message boards as "shady."
