[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we did this, and it was great, but the details are different enough that in your case, I probably wouldn’t.

Our walk was five minutes (just confirmed on google maps) and it was March, so not hot. The difference between 5 and 10 mins is a LOT. You’ve got to remember that city people like us walk five or 10 mins and it’s nothing. Suburb people? Older people? Even we got comments about it being a bit long. I would not do 10 mins, and certainly not in a DC summer.

Some things we did that I would recommend if you opted to move forward: We provided complementary flip flops for people to grab on their way out of the service in a variety of sizes if they had uncomfortable shoes. My DH and I led the whole wedding (150 people) in a festive little (very slow moving) parade, so there was no risk of getting lost. It was down 16th street two blocks and lots of cars honked and waved, it was really cool. We also had polled our older guests to see who might not be able to walk. Only my grandmother opted for a Lyft and we had a point person all set to get her into a Lyft and to the reception. Literally everyone else walked. We had a backup plan of buying a couple hundred cheap umbrellas from Amazon if the 5 day forecast predicted rain (it didn’t). [/quote] Cheap flip flops would be worse IMHO.  No support. [/quote]
