To Groomsmen, RE: Rides
I've been asked a few times about getting to the wedding, and more importantly, getting back from the reception. Since I need all of the groomsmen together before the wedding to get ready and take pictures, I think it would be best for me to pick all of you up in the morning and take you up to Christina's brother's house to get ready. That way I'll have my car up there to head out after the wedding, and no one will be stuck there drunk with a car. After the ceremony, we'll take the limo to the reception. Following the reception, the worst case is you catch a ride home with your families, at the mercy of when they want to leave. A better situation in my opinion is if one of you can convince your date to be a DD, drive a large suv type car up there, and drive everyone back to NW B-town. I think that's a pretty solid plan... feel free to post suggestions.

* This plan is conditional on whether or not your parents are coming to the wedding. As of now only the Heitel's have RSVP'd.
Thanks for the info Eric sounds good to me. My parents will not be attending, but we have pretty much figured out the coming home situation.
I got fitted for my tux a few weeks ago, so I'm set. As far as the reception goes, how are the groomsmen's significant others to get to the reception? If you are driving up there and then taking a limo does that mean there might be some extra room in your car, whoever is driving it?
Like I said in the first comment, the post was conditional on parents coming to the wedding. Significant others would go to the wedding/reception with the family while the groomsmen are with me. The situation is very similar to Chris and Carla's wedding, where Christina was in the bridal party and I was a guest. I got myself to the wedding while Christina spent the day with Carla. The difference was in that case, it was only the two of us, so I had to drive. In your case, there are many significant others who could manage to carpool in a large car and get all of you home together afterwards.
To clarify, I'm only talking about Jenny with Jae, Allison with Adam, Irene with Nick, and possible Cristina with Josh, although I think they are coming from Tampa, not sure. The girls carpool to the wedding, then the reception, and go home with the guys after. It's the best idea I can offer.
One more question for you sir will we be going right to the reception hall after the wedding or will there be some down time in between. I am not asking for myself, but because my mom MAY drive Irene and some other's up there and she might just attend the wedding. Also, the reception does go to 11 right, because I have scheduled a pickup for a bunch of us shortly after that I know we can leave whenever but you get my point.
For the bridal party, there is some downtime, for guests, not so much. There will be quite a bit of pictures following the wedding, and depending on when that's done, possibly some time to kill while the cocktail hour is going on. We're currently trying to adjust the start time of the cocktail hour with the venue so there won't be any downtime. If nothing changes, the downtime will be at most 30 minutes, depending on the speed of the ceremony.
Yes, the reception is scheduled to end at 11.
Let me clarify again, that sounds confusing reading that again. The downtime will be at most 30 minutes for the guests following the ceremony, the bridal party will be arriving to the reception following the cocktail hour for introductions.
Correction: Christina just informed me that the cocktail hour has been rescheduled to 5:30, and the reception will end at 10:30. So there will be no wait for the guests, and the bridal party will arrive at the reception after the cocktail hour.
