“People getting married should know how fast the day will go by and make a plan for how they will interact with everyone. We liked eating dinner with our families because otherwise we have no idea how much we would have even gotten to talk to them that day, it was such a whirlwind! Also it was nice for our parties to be able to sit with their partners.
Also, think about the formal photos carefully and consider making time for them at the very beginning of your day. In retrospect, I wish that we had been more open to having formal photos taken before the ceremony. We both resisted it, but I felt like it would have given us more time with our guests after actually experiencing how fast the day went by. There is a reason people advise you to do them before the ceremony and it’s one of the few things I would do differently if we did it again.” – Melissa
