Another rehearsal...

without a wedding coordinator and no one but the bride in charge!!  There's not that many in the wedding party, the bride reassured me!  Let's see: bride, groom, 4 bridesmaids, 5 groomsmen, ring bearer, flower girl, 3 sets of grandparents, and parents for bride and groom.  Hmmm, let's see... I think that is 21 people invloved in processing in and recessing out, yet no one is there but the bride to tell people when to walk in.....  

I must say, the bride did have a detailed diagram of who sits where, who stands where, and how the chairs are to be positioned.  It's good when people know where to be, it's just getting them there that just may be of a concern. 

So who did they draft?  When we met before, I suggested they have someone there, not family, to direct the chair people on where to place the chairs and to make sure they are clean.  That person, is now the person directing people in for the ceremony.  

Oh yes, did I tell you that they have a violist? So now there is music to coordinate with the procession.

And one last note:  The bride wants the ceremony to begin, her walking down the aisle, when the bells on the clock strike 5pm.   

Hmmmm....
