Hey everyone! I am trying to figure out my timeline and all of the hora conversations seem to be very old, so i figured I would start a new thread to see if anyone has any new thoughts. We are getting married at 5:30, having a cocktail hour and then a plated salad course and a buffet dinner. Trying to figure out when to dance the hora, when to do speeches, when to do father/daughter dances, first dance etc. Should we go straight from cocktails into the hora? Where do first dances fit in? When would you do chair dances? Would those go at the end of the hora?
I am getting married in an area that has essentially no Jewish population, so my wedding planner has no experience with this and neither does my band.
What are you doing/have you done? If you are already married, how did it go? Do you wish you did anything differently?
