The gap between ceremony and reception...what do you do during that time besides change apparently? Why the gap? I assume it's a mostly Catholic thing and mass is usually early Saturday afternoons right? It is very much a Northern thing. Never seen it down here!

Here, most weddings have pictures inbetween. Family, wedding party.. etc. There is also the certificate signing and I think a few minutes for the couple to be alone. Everyone else has cocktail hour before the main reception/dinner.

I've been to few weddings without that gap and yes, it's a mostly Catholic thing, although the wedding I'm going to in June will have a gap and it's not a religious ceremony (it's taking place at their college chapel and will be an interfaith ceremony)

Ugh, I'm going to be honest, I hate gaps. Hate 'em. And I don't understand the purpose. I understand that some ceremonies have to be at a certain time, but I don't understand why the reception can't immediately follow.

We are Catholic, but our parish has a small church downstairs that is used for weekly masses and a huge, ornate upper church used for holy days, holidays and weddings. So we chose to have our ceremony at 4 and we had the reception at 6. The brida

Ok, this is all basically what I thought, just wanted to make sure. I thought the gap was totally odd before I came here, but now I get it. I like any excuse for a bar, so I'd be down with it...except maybe the next 9 months.

Yeah, we took our pictures in between. And some family and friends went to set up the final things at the reception location, and make sure everything was on tract with the caterer.

DH and I are Agnostic, so getting married in a church wasn't even something we considered. Our ceremony and reception were in the same place. We got married outside on the huge front lawn, did a receiving line of just DH and I into the insi

It's the norm around here. Well, at least for Catholic weddings.

We had a Mass at 1pm and reception did not start until 6pm.

We did pictures after the ceremony. So we didn't get to the reception until much later. When else are you supose to take the group pics? We took as many as we could before the ceremony...but not any with bride and groom together, so all with m

We had an afternoon Catholic Mass and the reception was immediately after. I mean, all the guests went to the reception location and mingled...my brother chauffeured DH and I around for about 20 minutes and we made an "entrance" :-P I wouldn't
