night time weddings

were doing an evening wedding 6:30 when the sun starts to set. I as well as the bridesmaids,and FG will take some pics before, and FH,a nd his groomsmen, and BM will take some pics before, and after the ceremony we will take pics together. That way we have half of the pics already taken care of, and still have time to catch some of the CH.....*(and most of all FH won't see me before the ceremony )

our ceremony is at 3:30 and then cocktail starts at 7 so we will take after the church and before the cocktail..we will have plenty of time!!!

our ceremony is also at 7:30, and we will definitely be taking pictures beforehand.

Actually, I'm thinking that since we can only get to the hall like 2 hours before, and in October the sun will be starting to set by then, that we will gather everybody at my parent's house and do a whole round of formal pictures there, so that once we get to the hall we can just kick back and relax, and maybe just take a couple of bride/groom shots.

Originally I didn't want to see FH beforehand either, but then I realized that it will just make the whole evening go so much smoother, and I really want to be at the whole party so we can see our guests and greet all the people who travelled so far to be with us and just enjoy ourselves. I also think that otherwise we'll be so keyed up by the ceremony after not seeing each other all day... This way we get a couple of hours to just relax together and do our thing and then we will seperate and go our own ways once the guests start to arrive and that way have at least 45 minutes sitting in our seperate rooms before the ceremony.
