Once the service is over, you can relax and breathe, for now you are married. Next you will be whisked away for more photographs, so be prepared to smile the whole day long. You will probably spend a couple of hours at least taking pictures in your favorite spot that you have previously arranged with the photographer.
From there it will be on to the hall or reception area, where you will stand in line and greet your guests or whatever traditions you follow. After all your guests are seated your bridal party will march in and then maybe if you want your best man will do the honour of annoucing you and you new husband and you will proceed to the dinner table.
Supper will be served and if you lucky to avoid the clanging glasses, you will be able to finally relax and eat something. After dinner, the speeches are done and hopefully short and sweet. This is where the bride and the groom ususally get funny, if not embarrassing stories told about them. By this time, your band or DJ should be set up.
From here, you will proceed with your bridal dance as the new husband and wife, while everyone in the place has their eyes on you both. Usually there is a dance for the wedding party and then everyone joins in. After that, the party usually gets going with everyone dancing and enjoying your special day.
