Silly Questions.....

Does the bride have to arrive late for her ceremony? To make fh wait?

My gf said, that I have to make a grand entrance to arive 15-20 minutes late?

What is she talking about?

Re: Silly Questions.....

I definetly DONT think so - Our priest has already yelles at us about being late -

Re: Silly Questions.....

i have never heard this i want to be on time so that we can get back home to take pictures together then off the reception....

IMO Men HATE to wait....and the more time they linger up there the more nervous they will become

Re: Silly Questions.....

hello no. we only have so long for our reception and i don't want to waste time making him wait.

Re: Silly Questions.....

Watch out if you are actually late for the ceremony, itself, the church may make you pay more.. I know that is how it is with my church...JMO

Re: Silly Questions.....

My ceremony is at 4pm. Their is 5:30 mass. I will not be late b/c I dont want to be rushed out by the little old ladies who want their seats for mass

I plan on being there on time

Plus my church is very pissy about time so I cant be late

Re: Silly Questions.....

You know what ladies....I just remember, that my priest did a wedding in Dec. 2003 & the bride was late because they forgot the pillow...and let me tell you something...that ceremony for her was very, very short...he skipped somethings..because she came late!!!!!

Thanks!!!!

Re: Silly Questions.....

oh my i heard this to!!! some churchs charge you if your run late!!!!!

Re: Silly Questions.....

Definitely not. It's awful to do that to your FH and your guests. Plus the church usually has either functions or mass after you so you're making those people wait as well.

Re: Silly Questions.....

silly, silly, silly!

this is not one event where you want to be 'fashionably late'

Re: Silly Questions.....

Definitely not an occasion you want to be late for.

Re: Silly Questions.....

Umm...that is definitely one occasion where you do NOT want to be fashionably late!

Re: Silly Questions.....

our church says not to be late... that they wont extend the time and you will need to cut the mass short

Re: Silly Questions.....

Do not Be late!!!! Is she a true friend? LOL Just kidding!

Re: Silly Questions.....

I never heard of that, plus I think my church would not wait for me!

Re: Silly Questions.....

You guys are so right!!! Thanks..time is money, can't waste that!

Re: Silly Questions.....

LOL, once I went to a wedding where the bride was HOURS late.

It didn't turn out to be a huge issue, but man were the guests all bored!

Re: Silly Questions.....

Two years ago my friend got married at her church in Queens and the priest had the couple put down a $100 refundable deposit - refundable if she showed up on time. If she was late she lost the money. The reason they started doing this was because too many brides were showing up late and it really does cause a problem - especially if another couple is getting married after that ceremony. Imagine if your wedding was delayed because the couple before you were late! I would be pissed so I say show up on time - don't let the poor guy be any more nervous than he already is and definitely don't delay the church or anyone else from their plans.

Re: Silly Questions.....

Don't be late! Besides your church and FH not liking it some of your guests may be upset too, they may have to drop off kids, get their hair done, go home and change, etc.

Re: Silly Questions.....

I never heard anything like that. I think it is because you have to wait for everyone to go down before you.
