On the invitation it said 3pm...get there around 2:30-2:45 to make sure we are not late. The church wasn't even open and a bunch of us were standing outside just waiting for them to unlock the doors!
When we get inside I heard someone say that the wedding starts at 4 and it said that on the wedding website. I actually had gone to the website and did not notice it saying that because it was at the end of a very long paragraph!
I get that people want to put an earlier start time but 1 hour early is ridiculous! The most i would ever recommend putting is 30 minutes. Thankfully we were hungry so we just left and got some food really quickly but I would have been really annoyed sitting in a church for an hour! The MOG didn't even know the invitations said 3pm and she was mortified!
So a word of caution to those of you who want to put an earlier start time on the invitation: PLEASE DO NOT MAKE IT MORE THAN 30 MINUTES!
