I wouldn't want someone passing out (and I did that once in college in heels! not good)</p> <p>let them sit and then get back up :) you can have them practice!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/sit-or-stand#post-458861 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:32:43 +0000 Ember78 458861@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>45 mins is way too long to be standing. However, it isn't clear from your post whether this applies to guests or just the wedding party. If it's just the wedding party, I wouldn't have a problem standing that long since it's part of the "job" of being an attendant. For guests though, that is inappropriate and they need to be seated regardless of how long or short it is. There are alot of elderly people who can't stand that long and even some who aren't elderly. But that's not say that all elderly people have issues with standing since it doesn't bother some people. But it's best to treat all your guests equally.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/sit-or-stand#post-458860 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:31:38 +0000 Chachacha 458860@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I've been in weddings where I stood the entire time and where I sat for most of the time. I think we are going to be sitting for most of our Catholic ceremony. Much more comfortable that way.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/sit-or-stand#post-458735 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:57:38 +0000 jrswiggy 458735@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>At both my friend's and sister's weddings we stood except for during communion.The whole thing flew by that honestly I didn't even notice the 45 min.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/sit-or-stand#post-458718 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:52:55 +0000 stlginkgo 458718@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>If space allows I would personally have them sit. They will be much more comfortable.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/sit-or-stand#post-458672 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:33:07 +0000 spaniel 458672@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Definitely let them sit if your ceremony is that long and it's normal for the bridal party to have seats! If I had to stand that long in one place in heels, it would ruin my night because my knees and back would hurt so much. :(</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/sit-or-stand#post-458668 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:31:54 +0000 scissors 458668@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Let them sit. You don't want any locked knees or passing out bridesmaids. :p</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/sit-or-stand#post-458667 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:31:01 +0000 Future Mrs. Martin 458667@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Sit - I would die if I was standing that long in one spot in heels!</p>
