    What time are you serving dinner?  How late is too late?

    Ha - we both have long days today and then will work out so if we eat before 10 pm I'll be surprised. Usually it falls between 730 and 1030, just never know with schedules.

    We usually eat when my FI comes home from work...about 7pm. I didn't cook today (bad me), so we'll just have to make something quick!

    Haha, actually I meant what time are you serving dinner at your wedding reception!

    I guess I should have specified - sorry!

    LOL- I was thinking regular night too!  We took so long for pictures that dinner wasn't served until 6:45... but our guests were good natured about it and there were plenty of appetizers!

    I'm having a huge problem with this.  I'm having a Sunday wedding, so we don't want things to go too late for the majority who are driving home...but my wedding is DURING RAMADAN.  I have several close Muslim friends and a few convert family members.  I can't do anything about the date because FI and I don't live in Canada, so we are only coming back for a very short time for this wedding.  The wedding is also in August, so the days are long :(  We're thinking about starting dinner at 6:30 - having a salad 1st course, then a sorbet.  Both of those will be kept in the kitchen for fasting people.  Probably by the time the 3rd course comes out it will be time to break fast and then they can enjoy the first 2 courses as well.
