Getting married on a cruise ship on the First Day at Sea, which is, traditionally, "Formal Night". Unfortunately, The Powers That Be scheduled my wedding for noon which means I am going to end up with a 3 hour gap between end of group pictures and dinner. Most of the invitees have never cruised before, and I am paying for all but 2 cabins. One of my BMs is already pushing back on the request that everyone be at dinner in the Dining Room each night of the cruise (that was a cruise rule I grew up with...doesnt matter what you do during the day; be at dinner in the Dining room every night) I was really hoping we could all eat dinner in our finery in the Dining Room after the wedding (like we would do in a land wedding) but the 3 hour gap between events is going to be hard to fill and keep everyone dressed. I realize some people are looking at this like a vacation and they don't want to be dressed up because they do that for work, but, it is still my wedding and I am still paying their cruise fare. I want to respect their feelings, but I am going to feel silly if I show up to dinner in my dress and everyone else has changed into casual clothes
