Is there anything worse than waiting around for everybody to get ready for wedding pictures? After the ceremony, nobody can eat until we go get pictures taken. You go out there and there’s always somebody not ready or wandering around and nobody can find them.

And then when you get them all together, trying to keep the flower girl and ring bearer to pay attention and smile.

What's worse is letting the future mother-in-law take charge of hiring a photographer and she hires the old "I know a guy who can do it cheaper".  Then you get the proofs and..............holy moly....

Did ours before. Problem solved.

Well, kind of. It was still chaotic, but at least it avoided the post-ceremony anarchy you are alluding to.

That was our problem too.  Big mistake.

Our pictures took so long that when we got to the reception site, others had drunk all of our champagne.  My wife and I toasted with Sprite.

Getting married in two weeks. This is our plan.
