No. I want to eat and there is no way that's gonna happen if people keep coming up to me. Cocktail hour food will be brought up to the bridal suite. So I'll hang out there.
This!!! I even want my bridal party to attend cocktail hour however I will use that time to just have a moment to myself with my FH
That's a really great idea! I doubt there will really be another opportunity like that all day.
We're not sure what we're doing yet. I'd like to be at cocktail hour, but I don't know if want to wake. up as early as I'd need to in order to do all our pics before.

THIS!!! I want some time to come down from my wedding ceremony high lol and just eat so I'm not starving. Once I feel like it will go down for the majority of the cocktail hour.

Yes, we are having an extended cocktail hour (1.5 hour) so that we can take pictures and still be able to go to cocktail hour.
This is exactly what I'm doing.

This is what I'm doing too, but possibly in the opposite order. I might mingle for a while and then go the bridal suite to unwind and eat before the reception starts.

Just keep in mind it may be hard to go down first because people may start talking to you and you will never get a chance to go back to the bridal suite!

That's a tough one. We are not seeing each other until I walk down the aisle and then we will be taking pics immediately after. We do have a smal bridal party so there may be a possiblity but that is still up in the air. Hopefully I will be able to have some food brought up to the bridal suite.
first time i saw him was coming down the aisle as well. we ended up doing an hour and a half cocktail, and i provided a list to my photog, as well as my family (ahead of time) of the order of pictures and where to meet inside the hall. i have to say, my family did an amazing job following instructions lol! we were able to do all family and bridal party photos, plus outdoor photos of just us, and i think we still had 45 minutes at cocktail hour.
