I would like to but usually I have another wedding ceremony or another appointment to go to. But you can ask me, when the time comes.
What if our wedding is running behind schedule?
It is understandable that a wedding can be behind schedule at times. That is why I always give my couples an hour of my schedule time to conduct your wedding ceremony.
I do not want to be mean about it, but if your wedding does go beyond an hour after the wedding was suppose to start, you will be billed $15.00 for each additional 15 minutes thereafter for waiting.
(1-15 minutes) $15.00
(16-30 minutes) $30.00
(31-45 minutes) $45.00
(46-60 minutes) $60.00
Etc.
