groom gets to church?

What time does the groom need to get to the church? The ceremony begins at 3:00 - I just dont' know what the groom, groomsmen and best man DO before the ceremony. Do they just like hang out? Should he be there earlier than 2:00? Later? (doing limos today....)

Re: groom gets to church?

My groom will get to the church 1/2 hour before the ceremony starts. We are taking photos prior to the ceremony so he will go in the Escalade with the rest of the BP. I have another car for me.

okay - we are not doing photos first. So I am coming from a hotel just in time to walk in. Should he still be there by 2:30?

My FI, the ushers and his immediate family is going to the church a 1/2 before the mass (mass starts at 2 p.m.). He is getting there early so that the photographer can possibly get some pictures with him and the BM before the mass.

great - thank you - very helpful

Re: groom gets to church?

My FI is getting there about 30-45 minutes before the church (depending on limo timing). He will be there and so will the ushers. The limo will be picking him and his family up in SI driving to Queens for the church and then coming to pick up me and the girls.

When my brother got married the priest told them at the rehearsal that they should arrive 30 mins. prior.

my fi will be there half hour before hand- but the limo driver should be able to help you with this
