Hair's dad sure was right about that. After about 20 minutes of receptioning, I just wanted out of there.
You might want to plan on getting something to eat, too. We were far too busy meeting and greeting to eat anything at the reception. After we left, we went out for steak and lobster and pints, checked into our room, and had an enjoyable afternoon. :)
Actually, I didn't want out of there, I wanted to stay, but I realized as soon as we left, how much we ~needed~ to get out of there. :~)
It's the same stresses everyone has at their wedding, I'm sure... being fussed at and fussed over, having to smiles and be gracious to a bunch of new relatives you barely know who all want to talk to you and give you advice and well wishes... It wears a hobbit out :~)
