[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’ve got to be kidding me. 10 minutes is like 5 blocks. Sure, arrange transport for the elderly and disabled but most should be fine. [/quote]

+[b]1 have done this at tons of weddings[/b].... not a big deal at all, just get help for elderly/guests with health matters[/quote]

In downtown DC in summer? I suspect not. You'd remember how those sweat stains (not just under your arms) forever wrecked your clothing, and how miserable you were by the time you got to the reception. Yeah, after just 10 minutes. It's literally swamp weather here in summer. Even in the evenings, many days. [/quote]

I mean, is this any different than the numerous outdoor weddings we have all been to in the mid-Atlantic in July?  So I'm going to sweat while I walk from the church to the reception hall?  No worse than sweating to death during the ceremony and/or cocktail hour in that beautiful sunny, hot and humid garden because a hotel ballroom wasn't good enough for you.[/quote]

I'm the PP to whom you're responding. Haven't been to a single outdoor wedding in this area in the 35 years I've lived here and attended many a wedding. Most couples who are from the area know better than to do this, especially in summer. At least the folks I've known. The only thing that came close was a reception at a winery that was on a large, partially covered patio, and that was in September, not July.[/quote]
I have. And it rained every single time and delayed the ceremony. One rainstorm happened when we were all outside and all guests were soaked. You are an a-hole if you get married in this area outside during the summer.[/quote]

Bigger a-hole to make your guests walk.[/quote]
