    Short, probably less than twenty minutes. But I'm having a courthouse wedding so might be around that time heh!

    Not sure. It could be anywhere between 30 mins to an hour! Since we'll be in Hawaii, we wanted to add a few Hawaiian ceremonial traditions and I have no idea how long that takes.

    Short, the shorter the better lol. We have 30 minutes for our ceremony but I don't think it will be nearly that long at all.

    Well since I’m doing a catholic ceremony, that’s typically 45 mins to an hour. I don’t know if that’s considered long though, I’d think it the average.

    Not short but not too long - 30 mins I think; 2 songs, written vows, a short sermon (7-10mins) from our minister and jumping the broom to end it!

    Short. FH wants no more than 15 minutes, so we can "get to the party", but I'm thinking it will probably go about 25 minutes. Pretty short.

    This is the part that he's planning. I'm thinking it's going to be on the long side. Since we're incorporating some jewish traditions. Maybe 45 mins hopefully no longer than that. 😬😬

    Short. Nobody likes to sit through a long ceremony, let's be real.

    Short only changing vows and that kind of thing. No prayers or anything like that.

    Short! It will be outside in the summer and I don't want our guests to have to sit in the sun for too long!
