Scrambling

We don't want our pictures in front of the setting sun; I was just trying to find out if we had a 4:00 wedding would it be too dark for pictures afterward (5-6). It really doens't get dark until 9:00 in May? That's awesome.

I scrambled all afternoon to find us a place but to no avail. I'm calling the welcome wagon lady today to see if she has recommendations. We talked about a noon wedding at Benvoulin but it's just not going to work; not only is there alot of pressure in the morning and a lot of driving around from place to place, but there would be like a 4-4.5 hour gap between the ceremony and reception. Where would people go and what would they do for that long? What would I do in my wedding dress? The timing would make us starving for lunch right afterwards but there's no way I'd go to a restaurant in my wedding gown.

Kirsten, I buy my own dress; bridesmaids always do. That's why you ask someone to be your bridesmaid; she has to be okay with spending some time and money. Any ideas about what you want us to wear?
