    Over! We are having a traditional service with my sisters singing and a reading or two as well as the traditional hand fasting at the ceremony as well!

    Under but not by much. I decided to create my own wedding script and we are having a sand unity so all in all probable about 20 - 25 minutes.

    Hoping ours will be 15-20 minutes. Preferably shorter. The faster the better!

    Probably under. It'll be a very non-religious ceremony and neither of us are big on having all eyes on us. Honestly, the whole big wedding thing is more for our parents than it is for us.

    We are doing our ceremony which I assume will take about 30 minutes, and then we are having a planting family unity ceremony with our daughters which I estimate to be about 10 minutes. Since that's technically part of the ceremony, I'm going to say we are over.

    Over! We are having a traditional Episcopal ceremony with communion so it will be more like 45 mins to an hour.

    We're hoping to be under 30 minutes. We're doing a non-religious ceremony and not including any readings or anything, so we're thinking ours will be about 15 minutes.

    Definitely over. We are doing a full Episcopal mass so it will be an hour, maybe a little longer.

    That's my goal however the coordinator has warned that it will probably be closer to 45 minutes with the unity sand and my FH is a natural comic! :-)
