We are having a small wedding, about 30 guests. We are having the ceremony outside, then afterwards will be a cocktail hour, while we take pictures. The photographer (who knows the venue well) says pictures wont take an hour and that we will be able to join our guests during cocktail hour.Is it typical for the bride and groom to be in the cocktail hour?
Since our venue doesn't do announcements and we don't have a DJ, I guess we will be skipping the announcements? Do we just walk into the cocktail hour and join our guests. I always liked the idea of being announced as we join back with our guests, but I have no idea who would do it.
