Thank you Jocy!!!! That is a great idea to have them go to the bar for a little while and to freshen up before your cocktail hr / reception starts. Unfortunately, my future husband really wants that date and doesn't want to change it. For me is the same, but I think I like the idea your idea!!!
According to the wedding coordinator during december and january it gets dark around 5:30PM, so she said it shouldn't be so hot at 3PM........
