Re: Girls getting married at the hall?

We're doing it before. Sometimes I'm sad because I don't want us to see each other before the big walk (just for the emotion, I'm definitely not superstitious) but then I realize that pics take longer than an hour, and I want to be enjoying my cocktail (and beginning to say thank you to my 250 guests so I can dance during the reception).

I don't want to miss my cocktail hour!

exactly!!! and id like the bridal party to enjoy it too! (plus, less people to have to greet at the reception, so more time for dancing!!! )

I feel the same way!!!!!!

Re: Girls getting married at the hall?

ummm i do not want to miss my whole cocktail hou... my photographer is wonderful and he said they will make a very special moment and take pictures of it even better

yes i am going to see him

Re: Girls getting married at the hall?

After.

A) it's a cocktail hour.. the photos are just as much as fun and part of it as being mobbed by people
B) Being married there means I can still enjoy my cocktail hour some, instead of traveling and missing it all together
C) I have an early wedding. Meaning I want Noon light during our photos, taking them before would mean early morning light, no thanks. We can get dusk photos later in the afternoon.
D) I am SO not a morning person and neither is Jim. He's slower and Im more aggitated and since Im already a task master we'd probably kill eachother if we had to do that stuff early.

I think that about covers it.

Re: Girls getting married at the hall?

We are doing pictures before the ceremony. I want it out of the way. Also - I want to be eith my guests and have a good time.Pictures always take longer than you think they will so why not get as much over with as possible?

Re: Girls getting married at the hall?

We're doing photos before. I want to have some private time with FH before the ceremony and we wanted to be able to mingle during the CH.

Re: Girls getting married at the hall?

WE broke all the rules. We took our pictures before the ceremony!! I still got all emotional again at the ceremony. WE wanted to enjoy our CH.

Re: Girls getting married at the hall?

my photographer told us that taking the pictures beforehand will save us alot of missed reception. he figures since we paid so much to have the wedding we should be there - and honestly i agree.

Re: Girls getting married at the hall?

We are going to have our videographer set up a special time and place for us to see each other for the first time. This way it will be on video. Then we will have a few minutes alone with each other. I feel that will make it more special since we will be able to speak to each other right away and say what we are feeling. I am way too emotional and don't think I can handle walking down the aisle and him seeing me for the first time at the same time.

I agree and that's why we are also taking pictures beforehand.

Re: Girls getting married at the hall?

We're seeing each other before to take pics.
