Question by Pancake: Care to comment? You go to an outdoor wedding/reception (long distance away from house/toilet facilities) on?
grass. Wedding march on record. During wedding/reception you sit on folding chairs. Only one table for cake, coffee and accessories. No other tables for the guests. You are given a small 2 in. piece of cake and one small cup of coffee – no other food! And no seconds on cake or coffee.

Groom embarrassed. Reason bride gives: it was the servants’ day off! Bride and family made all plans because they said his career was more important. Groom was interning at hospital – he was a pediatrician.

Whole event took less than 3 hrs. Chairs were picked up, cake immediately taken away and table removed.

How many guests: About 200.

Groom had absolutely no idea what to expect. Whenever he asked, he was told “not to worry – everything was well taken care of.”
Bride also had groom’s whole life planned WITHOUT him knowing. Her RICH daddy had an office all ready for the groom to occupy instead of finishing his internship at hospital. After they married, she let hubby know that she refused to have children, expected him to socialize more with HER friends, expected him to be available whenever so they could attend the ballet or other social events. When an emergency came up, she told the caller to get another doctor because her hubby wasn’t available for emergencies. A doctor, especially a children’s doctor, has to be available 24/7. They were divorced less than 2 yrs. later. He found a nurse who became a great wife and mother.

What’s your question?

A wedding is for celebrating a marriage of two people, not for snubbing them for getting a small piece of cake.

Q&A: For an outdoor wedding ceremony, how much space or distance is necessary for rows of folding chairs?

Question by muriel12: For an outdoor wedding ceremony, how much space or distance is necessary for rows of folding chairs?
I am planning an outdoor ceremony using white, wood, folding chairs for the guests to sit in. I need to know how much room each row will take up–not in width, but in depth from the altar area. A helpful answer would tell me how much space there needs to be from the back of one chair to the front of the seat of the chair behind it, or the distance from chair back to chair back or something like that. It is a certain number of feet per row? How much space will it take to make it comfortable for the guests?

My suggestion would be to have your guests as close to the action as possible. This allows them to see and hear what is happening. After all you want them there to witness your wedding or you wouldn’t have invited them!

Put the chairs in the second row with enough room to be able to get up and down comfortably. If you know one of your relatives is a little larger than the others allow room for them too. Just sit down in a chair then put another chair behind it and then measure yourself, the distance for comfort.

Have fun!
