Reply To: Late Weddings: why do they get so late?

We had a list of pre-chuppa pictures, as did the other side. We simply ran down the list, as did they, and it went very quickly. Also, each side had a prepared photo list for after the chupa, and again, things went very quickly. Outdoor pictures of the chatan and kalla (separately) were done before we were scheduled to be at the hall. All in all, the photo shoots went quickly.

CTL, we hired the wedding planner for many other reasons, not just for the day of the wedding. She (and her husband, they work as a team) did an amazing job, both before and during the affair.
