minister- go to differnt churches near where you are getting married, and talk to each of them until you find the one you want.
when you change, you can just either kick everyone out of the room, or go to a car or something,
reception should last bout 4 hours or so, wait reception is the after party isnt it,..
depends on where you live. i would just go a few days ahead, and get a hotel room with your maid of honor, that way you can make sure you have everything ready a few days ahead
idk bout catering
i would take dance lessons
1. u can try contacting a minister from a different church in the area
2. If u r working with a wedding planner they can help u out with this one. I would reckon that after the ceremony everyone can be escorted outside for a couple of drinks while the place is getting remade into the reception area.
3. i believe the reception shouldn’t last more than 4 hours
4. this depends on ur current location, just a thought… I would schedule my flight the day after the wedding
5. Maybe question some friends or family members to help with the cooking
6. no u don’t need a caterer it’s what u want that matters
7. i would suggest taking a class don’t try an over the top dance routine or anything like it
8. don’t know… what’s ur theme?
sounds like you have a very unique plot going, it sounds awesome!
for one, you don’t NEED anything. this is your day, who cares about tradition.
for the minister, call around local churches to see if they will marry you. Most of them won’t unless you go through marriage counseling with them or you don’t do the ceremony in their church. But it’s worth a shot. It would be cheaper just for your minister to do it honestly.
A reception should last long enough for everyone to eat, have some fun, and socialize. reckon about an hour for eating (you don’t want to rush anyone) about an hour for dancing and an hour or so for visiting. so about3-4 hours would be ideal.
I would reckon your flight would be excellent around 5:30 or 6:00 in the evening AT THE EARLIEST! you don’t want to have to rush out and risk missing your flight
catering is a lot less stressful and may be even cheaper in the long run. it depends on how huge your guest list is. you talking about 20-30 people? Have some fried chicken, beans, salad, soda and stuff like that. anymore than that and I would strongly suggest just getting a caterer
I can’t dance for sh*t! and I got made fun of when my husband and I had our first dance, but you know what. so? I wasn’t paying attention to anyone or anything but him so it didn’t matter.
I’ve seen just a white and black wedding and I thought that was just gorgeous! mine was perriwinkle and white. I’ve also seen pink and brown. I don’t know what you guys look like but I can picture a forest green and white (that and I just like green)
excellent luck and congrats! it will all work out
Minister? You can question friends if they know of someone. Or search the internet for officiants in your area.
Changing the room? I’ve seen people have an aisle between the tables and people sat at the tables to watch the ceremony. Then they were at tables for the reception. OR you can have chairs sit up on a dance floor space near a stage area. Tables could be around the perimeter. When the ceremony is over and you have left for a bit of fresh air and to compose yourself in the lobby or outside, the officiant could question if the men would help go the chairs to the tables. I’m sure it would work. Just make sure and have the place settings arranged beforehand so they know how many chairs to place at each table.
Receptions length? They can last from a couple hours to most of the evening. Depends on what you want.
Scheduling flight? I wouldn’t schedule a flight the day of the wedding. Stay nearby and get rested for a night or two before you leave for the Virgin Islands. So much less stressful and less chance you’ll have problems.
Catering? If you don’t want catering, you’ll still need some people to help you. Any special aunts or friends? Question them for suggestions. They know what is typical for your area. And you can always buy food and drinks in bulk at Sam’s Club or Costco.
Dance? If you want to dance, you might want some lessons. If you choose not to dance, that will shorten the time of the reception.
Color suggestions? Use colors that you like and that look excellent on your bridesmaids.
1. This depends on whether you want your ceremony to be religious or not. Try www.weddingofficiant.net. You can search for officiants on there. You could also attend other churches in your area and see if any of their ministers appeal to you. See what your fiance feels comfortable with also.
2. You could have the wedding outdoors, and the reception indoors. Set up some chairs in a pretty location by some trees nearby. If it is one room, it would be hard to transition from the ceremony to the reception.
3. It depends on what food you are going to serve. If you are just doing cake and punch, then 2 hours is plenty of time. Most receptions with a full meal last 4 to 5 hours.
4. If your wedding is at noon, and your reception lasts until 5 or 6, then you would have to schedule your fllight around 9 so that you could get to the airport on time. If your reception is shorter then you could do it earlier. I personally wouldn’t want the stress on the day of my wedding, so I would schedule your flight out the next day. You don’t want to be thinking about when your flight leaves throughout the whole reception.
5. You could go to a store like Sam’s Club or Costco and buy soda in bulk. You can also buy stuff to make punch too. If you want to cater it yourself, you can do simple foods, like finger sandwiches, veggie trays, fruit trays, etc. You could also do some sort of barbeque, with burgers, chicken, baked beans, etc, but obviously someone would have to be in charge of this and it could be hard.
6. Having someone cater it would make it simpler for you so that you don’t have a lot of prep work. But, it is more expensive.
7. Unless you are looking to impress people with your dance skills, you don’t need lessons. My fiance and I don’t know how to dance, but I’m sure we’ll figure it out.
8. Pick colors you like. Don’t worry about the season or what other people reckon. Reckon about what you will want to see in your pictures for the rest of your life.
