I definately agree with you on that one!
However, I probably wont be able to sleep anyway, being so excited and all.
Oh I was able to sleep just fine, I was exhausted, LOL. I woke up at 6am to be there at 9am for early pics.
My ceremony's at 11, and an hour away from where I'm staying. 3 am sounds crazy to me! (So does 6, actually--I'm very impressed you could function that early, Mightysaphire!) My question is how does anyone get up so early and still be awake enough to enjoy the whole reception? Are there any non-morning people who managed this? Or is the trick to spike all your drinks with coffee? :)
Hey guys, im just bumping this up cause I would love some help on the timeline! thank you! :D
I was originally planning for a 10:30am ceremony, but bumped it to 12:00, so we can do the ceremony and then a late lunch reception (1-5pm) that way we can serve lunch instead of dinner (saving money), and with a 12:00 ceremony that puts me at 10:00am needing to be ready for pictures before guests arrive. Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm thinking I will be okay to wake up at 7:30am, which is what I'm used to for work and typically naturally wake up around 7:00 or 7:30am... cause I don't want to be a cranky bride on my wedding day due to lack of sleep!
I got married at 11:00 a.m. and woke up at 5:30 (alarm was set for 6). My MOH, mom, and I stayed at a hotel about 3 minutes away from the church. The other bridesmaid didn't want to stay with us, so she met us at the hotel at 6:30 (closer to 7 since she's chronically late) to get hair and make-up ready. The friend helping us with hair was there at 7. We left the hotel around 9 to go to the church. At the church we did last minute set ups (we did most everything ourselves so if you aren't putting out own flowers, etc you have extra time). At 10 we did last hair and make up touchups, and by 10:30/10:45 I was all set to walk down the aisle. The photog did all of his detail shots and getting ready pics from 9:30 on. The ceremony started on time (I've been told that's a first)! By 11:30 we were taking family and group shots. We were introduced at 12:00 and the reception went from there.
Hope this helps!

Hi everyone,
I was reading some of the timelines on here, and i was having trouble applying them to my situation, and I hope someone can help!
Help me fill in the gaps! hehe.

Ive seen girls with morning weddings are waking up at 3am!? Im not getting my makeup or hair professionally done, Im doing them both myself...I cant see why I would need that much time!! I was thinking I should wake up at 5am, I dont see why I'd need more than 5 hours to get ready!
