Re: enough time?
Are you going to have a receiving line? If so I would move your ceremony time to 10:30am.

How do you get out of having a receiving line? I don't think I will have enough time so amybe it will be a goof ides not to have one, but how do you go about doing this?

I think you'll just make it. I'm getting married in OLOG also next oct. It really doesn't take too long to get to the WM from WB. Esp since you're only doing the ceremony. But did you want to take pics beforehand?

Re: enough time?
We were at 2 weddings this past weekend and purposely timed the receiving lines so we could figure out if we'd have time to go somplace and take photos.
Wedding with 200 guests took about 20 min.
Wedding with 130 guests took about 15 min.
Church steps photos took about 5 min for each as did loading the cars.
Something to note is that for one of them the invite stated 'Reception immediately following ceremony' when actually the cocktail hour was scheduled to begin 45 minutes AFTER guests started arriving. We had to wait and have a drink in a cocktail lounge. So I'd discuss with your hall what they'll do if people arrive early. I think you'll have plenty of time for your guests to travel either way. Make sure you'll have time for photos.
