My mother had always inivisioned a church wedding for me, her only daughter. We came to a compromise and are having the ceremony at a beautiful 19th century Gothic Revival Brownstone Chapel, but are getting married by a JP. How long do civil ceremonies average? The wedding is at 10 am, it's about a 20 minute drive to the reception, which starts at 12 pm. The woman who runs the place said if guests arrived at 11:30 and made their way in, it was fine, and everything would be ready. I don't know whether to put "Reception Immediately Following" so they don't feel obligated to stand in the parking lot until 12, but I don't want them there too terribly early either. There will be about 110 at the chapel, so by the time everyone gets out and headed to the reception, we should be safe, yes?
