Hi Everyone,
I am new here so am learning the lingo, but my FH is Hindu and I am Catholic. We are planning on doing both ceremonies in the same day, at the same venue (we have already worked this out with the Catholic deacon).
I am wondering what order we should do the ceremonies in? The big white dress ceremony first and then change into the sari and do the Hindu ceremony and then change back, or do the Hindu ceremony first? I am worried about doing the Hindu ceremony first and ruining the big white dress, first look moment with the FH- but the Hindu ceremony will be longer, so I think it would be nice to give folks the option to skip it if they can't commit 2.5 hours to both ceremonies... Also, how much time is too much time between ceremonies? Should we do a cocktail hour or just a quick 'costume change'?
Any thoughts or is anyone else doing this? Other thoughts on a double ceremony before the reception?
