My FI and I don't really want to attend our cocktail hour. I guess that we are pretty tradional in this aspect. To me, I don't feel right mingling with people prior to being formally introduced.
(Apparently this and not wanting to see each other before the ceremony make us 'old school').

Who is attending/not attending their cocktail hour???

we will be attending-- I look at CH as a time to mingle with everyone so we can actually enjoy the reception along with our guests.. and not feel obligated to make trips to every table.

I definitely want to be there also. Me and FI are leaving time between the church and reception to take pictures so we don't miss it.

We are absolutely going! We have so much time in between our ceremony and CH that we will have all our pics done and then we can go mingle!

We will be there. We should be guests as well as hosts of our own function.

we are taking pics before the ceremony just so we can attend the coctail hour ...its all up to your personal preference

since we have so many people comming form out of state
we want to spend time with them

also we figure then we wont have to spend as much time at the tables afterwards

We did our pictures before the cocktail hour so we went in for about 20 minutes before we had to change for the reception and I hated it! I wanted to mingle and have fun at the cocktail hour but we were really just attacked by everyone and I wanted water or wine or something and couldn't even get that. It was very annoying.

I wish I had hung out in the suite instead.

Wouldn't miss it. We only have 5 hours to see all these people we love--I want to be there for every last second!
