    I am hoping less than 30 minutes! I think around 20 minutes is perfect.

    Our Pastor said it won't be longer than 30 minutes - he'll say a very short sermon on marriage and then we'll exchange our vows and it's a done deal!

    I think it was pretty close to 30 minutes. Might have been under.

    We scheduled for 30 minutes, but it ended up being significantly under. Our coordinator joked that it may be the shortest (and easiest) ceremony they've done. Only two bridesmaids, FIL officiated (we requested short and sweet), no custom vows (we don't like the spotlight). The guests were probably seated for less than 10 minutes before being whisked away to cocktail hour. 🤣

    I hope mine is under 30 mins. I don't want to bore people. Short and sweet

    I think ours will be somewhere around there. I'm definitely hoping not to go over it.
