RebeccaS Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 "Music will begin at 4pm", does that mean I have to show up at 4pm, or are you supposed to trickle in starting at 4? (The wedding is at 4:30) We have 4 kids and we're doing respite for 2 more (ages 2 and 1). I'm hoping ya'll say I don't have to be there at 4 to sit with 6 kids for a 1/2 hour just waiting for the wedding to begin. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Geek Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I would say start trickling in at 4:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 In our neck of the woods it means don't even think about showing up earlier than 4- we're busy doing last minute preparations and don't have time to chat with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I agree with others. It says 'we will begin accepting guests at 4pm, the wedding is at 4:30.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan in SC Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 In our church it would mean please be seated by 4pm to hear the prelude and prepare for worship. However, some churches I've been to don't consider a wedding a service of worship, so it would depend on the church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebeccaS Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 In our church it would mean please be seated by 4pm to hear the prelude and prepare for worship. However, some churches I've been to don't consider a wedding a service of worship, so it would depend on the church. In our church, it's not so much a worship service (no communion or anything). In the case of this young couple, they've been married for over a year already, but he has been living in Canada and she, here in the U.S (an immigration thing). It's more of a vow renewal? But they're calling it a wedding...oh I'm so confused! :001_huh: Why can't they just say, "Be there at 4:15". :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
