4Pm vs 4:30pm ceremony? Receiving lines?? Separate venues
Emily, on April 2, 2021 at 8:57 PM

Hi all, I’m really torn between the two start times, but I’m leaning towards 4:30 because of the “good luck” associated with the time. Our church is ~10 min drive from our reception venue, a popular...

Seating with covid in Mind

I'm having an outdoor wedding in June. I'm not exactly sure how to go about seating for the ceremony. Did anyone have a clever way to sit people safely?
