It looks good to me, but are you going to have photographs taken after the ceremony of you and your bridal and grooms parties?

Yes, we're hoping to have most of our solo shots, and individual shots with male/female bridal party and families done before the ceremony. Then we'll do the last of the shots for the first half of the cocktail hour and hopefully get to enjoy the last half.

Thanks for noting that though...I'll add it to the timeline.

It looks good w/ one tiny question. - How many pictures are you planning on ?
I only ask b/c my friend recently did the same thing. - Her ceremony began @ 7:00 and she has us @ the country club @ 3:00 to get dressed, pictures began at 4:00 - we basically sat around for 4 hours b/c she knew exactly what she wanted and had a list for the photographer, so pictures took all of 20 minutes for us, and another 20 minutes for the boys .........She was not comfortable sitting around in her gown. - Just a thought
