BEAT THE CLOCK
Think of your wedding day as a choice of obstacles courses,
which one would you rather tackle, one that has marbles rolling downhill or an
ocean liner trying to navigate a choppy sea? The flow of your wedding day can
resemble one or the other depending on how closely you follow your
timeline. I heard it said once that running ten minutes behind schedule is
understandable, twenty minutes is excusable, but thirty minutes is intolerable.
Running too far behind your schedule generates a lot of standing around and
waiting, which creates a lot of antsy and/or bored wedding party members or guests and
can start the day off on the wrong foot.
Create a timeline and try to follow it somewhat.
And if I haven’t used enough metaphors yet here is another
one. Think of your wedding day as a train, it may start out slow but by the end
of the day we are hoping it is barreling full steam forward into a great
finale. If the train comes to a stop however, it seems like it takes a mountain
to get it moving again.
Slowly, steadily keep pushing forward.
Until next time,
~ Mike ~
