We are having our wedding at a resort. We are getting married at 2:30 p.m.
Typically people eat in the morning before 10 a.m.
Our dinner will be at 6:30 p.m. I found out yesterday guests cannot arrive before 6:30 p.m. as we are having a private dinner by the beach and they are transforming the snack / lunch restaurant into the dance floor and our reception dinner. It will take awhile for them to make it pretty from after the guests leave the beach for the day.
Here is where I need you to weigh in.
Our ceremony is legal and it has to be done a certain way based on the country we are getting married and it should be done within 10-15 minutes total. So the ceremony I do and the kiss and walking down the beach as husband and wife should be done by 2:45 p.m.
Then we do pictures with the guests on the beach, family pictures on the beach, family pictures and picture of us around the resort. Then we have a car which we will be escorted off the resort to take a ton of pictures for 2 hours.
Here is my food question
Guests may have lunch I am hoping I assume they will shower get ready around 1:15/1:30. I have to make sure I eat something for lunch.
As dinner is 6:30 p.m. should I have appetizers which are $15 USD pp at the cocktail reception immediately following the ceremony I am assuming its 2:45-3:45 p.m.
What do guests do between 4-6:30 p.m. as they will all be in fancy attire it will be hot, they will not be going swimming. The bride and groom will be off the resort getting pictures.
I do not want guests to get bored what should I do?
