Wedding Day Timeline

Good morning! TGIF is tomorrow, we've almost made it through another week. The weekend cannot get here quickly enough.   I was just organizing posts about our wedding, and realized I never posted about our wedding day timeline. I made a timeline for our big day, and I felt like it was helpful in reminding everyone to stay on schedule. Prior to having my own wedding, I was a bridesmaid several times and made note of things I did and didn't want do to if I ever got married. I also used to work in Sales at a Hilton property. Some of the weddings I was a bridesmaid in were disorganized, and I felt like people didn't know where to go when.   I emailed this out to everyone (bridal party, family, our wedding coordinator, vendors, the venue, etc.) about a week or two before the wedding. I think some people thought I was a wedding Nazi or bridezilla when I sent out that email, however our wedding day really did run smoothly.   6:30 am – wakeup time   7:00 am - leave hotel  7:30 am - get our Starbucks
