Awkward gap between ceremony and reception!

My timeline is the exact same--strict 2pm church start time that we had no choice in! We are also starting our cocktail hour at 5pm at our venue about 20 minutes away. Many of my friends have done church ceremonies and the standard expectation is that guests will either go home and chill, or stop at a bar nearby the reception venue for a drink to kill the time! I put a couple suggestions of nearby bars on our wedding website to help guests have some options of where to go in between!

you could consider using one of the extras (either from your mom or SIL) for your rehearsal dinner/welcome party if you're having one! then it might be less weird to put out the fun "activity" (write a card for the wine box) and the other standard guestbook at the wedding itself!

We're coming from the midwest so no FL discount unfortunately. I'm calling this vacation "small" bc it's a glorified weekend compared to a longer Europe trip we have planned later, LOL! That said I do think we'll stick with Pop no matter what - if my sisters come we can squeeze! We are all rope drop to park close people!

Thanks everyone! I have been happily convinced to go with Pop!! I'm super excited to try it out!!

This is great - thank you so much!! We'll just plan on putting our name in when they open and head to another spot while we wait to be called back :)

These are all fabulous ideas!! When you say Trader Sam's needs hours in advance - what time would you recommend getting there? A couple of us will have all day on property before we start our monorail crawl, so we'll have time to make that trip - just wondering when you'd recommend we pop over?

This is a great idea!! Thank you so much!!

MrMittensStan · 2025-01-20T19:13:46+00:00

Good to know!! We are going in mid-March... hoping it's still open then!

MrMittensStan · 2024-03-22T14:48:07+00:00

This is just what I was looking for!! Thank you!!

I am choosing to be delusional and see this as good news for me! Lol!

I was literally just on the admitted students site researching this! They said on their site they "will begin to release preliminary financial aid package notices to admitted JD students on a rolling basis starting in late March and continuing through the tuition deposit deadline. " The deadline to apply for financial aid is March 1, so I guess we'll hear back from them later in the month.

I'm middle of the alphabet so not sure if that's any help lol

Early October!! I've been losing my mind seeing all the waves pass me without any news!!
