Wedding at 1.30pm, meal at 6pm. Standing around for 4 hours!

I went to a wedding last week. Lovely country house venue, everything under one roof. The ceremony was at 1.30pm. By 1.50pm, it was finished and we were in a room milling around. And then we had to wait around until 6pm when everyone was supposed to go into dinner, but it was nearer 6.30pm. It was pissing down outside and there was nowhere to go. We did chat with lots of nice people, but there was literally nothing at all to do but drink all afternoon. And at £14.50 for two G&Ts from the bar, that was limited too!

AIBU that maybe it would have been better to get married at 4pm in that case? Or provide entertainment or something?

Well because it's not a standard venue and the food is all BBQ and salad buffet, there will be no strict timings. We can play it by ear on the day. I shall heed your warnings though.

Ooh that sounds nice :) Far more fun than the bog standard 3 course sit down job that I had!

Possibly Rule but it is still rude isnt it? You take one and wait for the tray to come round again.
