So, we are getting married in the Catholic Church, and to get married in the church we only have two choices with times.
2:00 pm or 6:30.
The reception is being held at a venue 25 min away. A Catholic ceremony last about an hour. Then we will take pictures, and head to venue.
I think 630 will have my guest eating at 9 o clock and is going to make me feel rushed with everything. We have the venue until midnight, but I feel like if I have it at 2 it’s going to be over early when in fact I wanted an evening wedding/reception.
Advice?

That’s fine when you live or are staying nearby. The wedding I went to on Saturday was about an hour drive from home. The weather was bad. I don’t want to go sit around a restaurant or bar for a couple of hours when I’m going to a reception with plenty of food and an open bar. I don’t want to walk around the city in bad weather in heels and a dress. And it was an awkward amount of time to do anything of any significance. Not to mention, the wedding took up my entire day since I got my hair done beforehand. I understand gaps are sometimes unavoidable, but they are bad.
