How many minutes were you late for your wedding (with poll).

Ok this is what I wanted.

(I'm still new to this posting thing.)

Just curoius.
If you were late was it due to taking pictures at the house?

Re: How many minutes were you late for your wedding (with poll).

I would change it....to...

I was 0 minutes late, because I am notorius for being late. I knew for my wedding, I would be on time. However I was 2 hours late for my 4 hour shower at a rented hall/restaurant. Talk about speeding things up.... I was rushed....I almost missed my own shower

I almost missed my own shower too!! I thought I was the only one

1 hour late, SOOO not my fault (well, obviously - it was a surprise!)

And I was an hour behind schedule on my wedding day, but my ceremony started on time.

I am very anal about being on time so I planned everything accordingly so the wedding would start on time and it did.

Re: How many minutes were you late for your wedding (with poll).

I was not late at all - for once!

I'm notoriously 15 -30 minutes late for everything. I was determined to be on time for my own wedding!

I was EARLY but the bus bringing most of our guests (who travelled from overseas to be there) was late. The priest was mad. DH said to him 'thee people travelled 6000 miles to be here - you can wait 5 more mintues'.

I wasn't late, but the idiot guys from the florist were still attaching pew bows when I got there - an hour after they had arrived. I didn't realize it took more than an hour to attach 14 pew bows. And poorly, too. They were all falling off.

I was on time too. Be careful - one church we looked at made you pay $100 if you're late.

Re: How many minutes were you late for your wedding (with poll).

I was actually early. I got there before the bus with the out of town guests arrived. I was NOT going to be late that day. I had a bet with my priest that I would start the ceremony on time...and we did!

Huh....Sounds like me! I actually showed up early at the church. Some of my guests were running late and said 'It's ok, there is NO way it will be starting on time because J.LO is always late!' Except for this time

Re: How many minutes were you late for your wedding (with poll).

20 minutes late. because the limo driver refused to listen to me when I told her that she was going the wrong way.

it really infuriates me because the church told me NOT to be late AT ALL. And, all of my vendors had commented as we were getting into the limo that I was the first bride they ever saw running ahead of schedule on everything!

I was a little late due to my HORRIBLE limo driver! Don't get me started on him

Re: How many minutes were you late for your wedding (with poll).

I was about 25 minutes late. This was due to a slow moving photographer and the fact that my sister-in-law decided my niece (7 months) needed her bottle as we were all piling into the limo.

I was semi-yelled at when I got there. No one was pleased with having to wait around.

Re: How many minutes were you late for your wedding (with poll).

We arrived early--we were suppose to arrive an hour before the guests were arriving, which was great. We had more time for photographs, I was actually able to walk around and see how everything was being set up for the ceremony and reception. Our guests also arrived early too, which I thought was pretty funny.

Re: How many minutes were you late for your wedding (with poll).

I was over 30 minutes late for my ceremony. It was supposed to start at 4:30 and I didn't get there until 5pm.

I had a major problem with my gown - the zipper went off track at 3pm. By the time they took to two dry cleaners and didn't have any success, so my coordinator had to safety pin the whole thing. We took like 4 pictures then we were off to the church

Re: How many minutes were you late for your wedding (with poll).

My church was at 3:30, my Limo showed up at 2:30, and my photographer left my house at 3pm to head to the church, I made my driver wait a few minutes and then we drove very slowly to the church..I actually saw my priest heading over from the rectory to the church!! Said he's never had a bride on time before!!

Re: How many minutes were you late for your wedding (with poll).

I was 45 minutes late thanks to a sucky limo company!!! I was practically in tears waiting for the limo to get me, I thought all my guests were thinking I was backing out.
