Liesje said:They're both out in the boonies and mother says, "why would we pay to go out when we're getting dinner at the reception?". I told her to come back to my house since it's ever so slightly closer to both the wedding and the reception, but she insists my house smells like a giant cat box (she's probably right). I wouldn't know an art gallery around here if one hit me in the face! I just don't get why 1) people like to take their pictures after the wedding and 2) why taking pictures has to take three hours. I'm not really into weddings where everyone just goes through the motions. Why can't everyone just relax and have fun? There's just something really irritating about being at a wedding and seeing the bride, the groom, and all the family grimacing from stress and spending more time flipping out over picture poses than just enjoying the day.

a wedding I went to in May had 3 hours in between the ceremony and reception and the reception was on the other side of the city from where the ceremony was. couldn't figure that one out. it worked out for me since I could just drive back to my parent's house and hang out. but it still was a huge chunk of the day, and sitting around waiting. by the time anyone saw any food, it was another hour AFTER getting to the reception. and by that I mean just some fruit, cheese platter and veggies!

Yep, that's how my cousin's went down this summer. Luckily, the wedding was outdoors at the reception hall, but the wedding took about 20 minutes and then the reception hall wasn't open, so a hundred people just kinda stood outside the door. The food was an hour and 45 minutes late and it was that same expensive mashed potatoes and a piece of beef - I can't figure out how these places charge such prices for your poor man's meat and potatoes. Everything was really pretty as far as the location and table settings, but nothing happened on time and so people just got stressed out and it was really awkward since they assigned seating at random (I ended up next to my little sister and a professional poker player, across the room from my family). I would mind the time so much if the whole deal were less formal. It's just plain awkward for everyone to be standing around waiting for assigned seating. What's wrong with buffets?!

Liesje said:I have a wedding tomorrow. My wedding pet peeve is when people schedule the wedding and reception in like totally different cities several hours apart. My mom is peeved b/c she's more poor than us and is flipping out about having to drive ALL the way there, then ALL the way home b/c there's THREE hours in between, and then ALL the way to the reception and waste a tank of gas.
I think Phil and I had the right idea: our reception and wedding were at the same place. We got married (20 mins, if that), ran out into the hallway, and stood there as everyone immediately filed into our reception where all of the food was already available.
