i was wondering if someone had like a hour by hour breakdown of their wedding day on like a timeline that I could look at just to give me an idea for mine to make sure i'm not forgetting anything, or even like a timeline for the actually wedding day. places like theknot and such don't really give me to much regarding this area. i would really appreciate it if someone was willing to share their personnel wedding timeline with me

In the morning, went to the hairdresser's with bridesmaids. Went over to my mom's to get dressed in gown. Had immediate family over for the blessing of the bride and groom.
Ceremony at church was 2:00. Was less than an hour. Went to get portraits done at photographer's studio. No clue how long that took, but was very GRATEFUL we had some rest time - went back to my mom's for some rest, a snack, and goofin' off. Felt the biggest stress was over with! Husband and I stretched out on the couch in the living room on opposite sides, and it felt good to be off my feet! Yes, it probably looked dumb with the big white wedding gown, but it was a chance to snuggle!
Cocktails 5:30
Supper 6:30 - I guess we would have made our entrance about 6:15, so were seated and dinner could start. Had a buffet, program followed the meal.
Can't remember when dance started - probably 8:30. Around 10, we had donations and "midnight lunch" was probably about 11. I think the music went til 12:30. We left around 12.
Oh, I didn't have a wedding cake, per se, so that step is missed here. We had for display traditional Ukrainian wedding breads, and gave out wrapped wedding fruitcake at donations.
Next day up early for church, then to my mom's house, where people came for lunch and the gift opening.
No honeymoon.
Good luck!

If you get the wedding planner that is on The Knot, it has a sample timeline inside.
