the early wedding

It's unusual to have a midday wedding in the U.S. although I wouldn't be surprised to see it happening more often. After all, it gives you all day to celebrate with your guests, many who have traveled so far to be there. Catherine Middleton's wedding to Prince William will be at 11:00 a.m. at Westminster Abby. They will have a reception immediately following and another party in the evening.

This photo was taken just prior to Charlotte Lewis's noon wedding at Millbrook school in upstate NY. She also had a reception after the wedding and a fun, casual cookout in the evening. Double the fun.
