Does anyone else find it difficult for a traditional religious church wedding that won’t take the modern 30 minute ceremony route? I’m finding it difficult to place everything happening on the wedding programs without it looking like a 2 hour Hamilton production.
In our culture, having a 30 minute ceremony is not possible meaning we have at least three religious rites such as candlighting ceremony, holy communion, jumping the broom and then ringing of the church bells together, which by itself will be 30 minutes not including the ceremony itself.
We have a a 1:00pm start and want to be done before 2:00pm. We are keeping it by the traditional book of having pictures after we become husband and wife for about an hour and then having a reception by 3:00pm. The first look pre-shoot is something our families and ourselves were adamant against.
However, entertaining 100 guests for an hour while we shoot is proving to be difficult to explain on a program. Any suggestions on how to speak to the pastor officiating to cut it short or any quicker religious rites versions for dummies to speed up the process?
Thanks
