Friday is up to you all. Some Hatrackers are involved in the rehearsal Friday evening and anyone who is around on Friday afternoon and wants to help decorate is welcome, but otherwise you’re on your own.
Saturday:
Anyone in the wedding party should be at church and ready for pictures by 1pm. (There are rooms to change in there, or you can get ready at the hotel.)
The wedding ceremony is at 4pm. It’s approximately a five minute walk from the hotel.
The reception from 5:30-10, exactly three miles from the church. If the receiving line after the ceremony goes too long, it might start late. Assuming it starts on time, dinner will be served at 6 and dancing will start at 7.
Everyone is invited to everything on Saturday.
We’d like to get a group photo of all the Hatrackers at some point in the reception. Maybe arrange to all meet on the dance floor when the band takes their first break?
As far as Friday night, Saturday morning, and Sunday entertainment go – you’ve got a bookstore, art galleries, a food court, an arcade, bowling, and pool right in the building. (On Friday night there is glow-in-the-dark bowling!)

I got the best bowling score of my life at glow-in-the-dark bowling (115 *busting with pride* ).

Ames LDS church There's a family ward at 9:00 am and a student ward at 11:45 am. Now that's nice - when you don't really have to share a building, you can pick your times.
If Dana was preaching, though, I would totally go to that. Any chance? No?

Yep. ElJay has said that she'll be changing out of her Maid of Honor attire into a different dress at some point in the evening, but other than that I don't know of anyone changing clothes.

I think that was "may" be changing, not "will" be changing. It's long and straight, and I like to dance, so it depends on how hard it is to dance in. And if anyone there will dance with me, of course. Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

Oh dear. I didn't mean to cause a panic... I knew it was A line, (and I hope Nancy knows, too) but A line and floor length is still a lot narrower than a full skirt, and, in my opinion, harder to swing dance in.

You don't have to dance. But it's fun, and if you want to learn how, I'll teach you. I've led before... as long as I can remember to start off on the wrong foot, I think I can lead pretty well.

Oh, and ElJay, I might have to take you up on those lessons, if you don't mind. The best I can do is the high school slow dancing where you just sway back and forth. Knowing actually how to dance might be good when going to future dances. Maybe.

At one time I was contemplating hiring a teacher to come to the reception and do some quick lessons for anyone who wanted them. Would that be cool or hokey? Dad thought it would be tacky, because it implies that we don't think our guests know how to dance.

Ivy, you're on. I can at least give you some pointers on how to follow, and if you're dancing with someone with a good lead that's all you need to know.
And that picture is somewhat misleading, as the actual instructor was behind the camera.
(Added: I was just the only one without a date. *sniff*)

dkw, we did that at our wedding, and it was *way* fun. The DJ taught some basic swing moves then let us go at it. Played great music for it too.

While ElJay's date finding powers are indeed remarkable, the lesson was at 9am on a Monday. And she had very short notice.

The photographer has informed me that the lighting at the reception will probably be inadequate for a large group picture. Therefore, if it is not raining (or snowing) everyone from Hatrack will please remain at the church until after the receiving line is over, at which time we will take a group picture on the front steps.
If it is raining, one of the bridesmen will be put in charge of lighting for photographs at the reception. He can bring his new theatre lights that filled up the back of Bob's car on the way home from our last trip to Minnesota thus requiring that all the shower gifts be left at Mom and Dad's for three weeks.

How come I had to have my picture taken? I need some anti-pictorial rhetoric, Sara, will you share?

Is there a list of all the hatrackers who will be attending? I would love to know who I am going to meet / see again. If there is not a list, can someone make one?

Nah, Kwea made me. It's just that I hate looking at them, I have no other reason. I know you wouldn't have if I had made a true stink of it.

I assume that I'm not being counted for dinner, correct?
Also, mack, I forgot to make that call. Are you handling this, or I am still supposed to be doing so?

Not for dinner, but yes for coffe/tea/milk/soda for the rest of the evening and for the fruit display that will be out during the dance.
