Send-off question

So, I'm surprising my hubby with a Lightsaber send off. But I've recently been thinking of doing it a different way. His mom and aunt will be leaving the reception after dinner, they're not staying for the dancing, and a few other guests from his side of the family will probably leave around that time as well due to not liking alcohol. So I'm thinking of doing it during the recessional instead. I'm thinking of having the people on the end of the pews hold them during the ceremony, then as we start back up the aisle, have them stand and hold them over us as we walk out. Another reason for doing this is that I want the photographer to capture this but I don't think she should have to stay til the very end. The only issue I see is that the ceremony is going to be at 5 so it will still be light outside. Thoughts?
