Get a map of your choosing. We have two. One (quiet) is just what you need to know.
The other map (loud) shows most local roads and probably isn't much use to you. Should you need a higher resolution copy, let me know. If you
follow the red line, all will be right with the world.
Check the weather in Apopka.

Set up work:| Ethan needs to set up his equipment for music in reception room and music outside. |
| Candles need to be arranged on tables. |
| Guest registry table needs to be set up. |

| Flowers need to be placed on tables and loose petals sprinkled about liberally. |
| Toasting goblets should be placed on head table. |

1:00 pm - Photographer Rich Graulich arrives
2:00 pm - Cake is delivered from Publix.
2:15 pm - Corsages and boutonnieres should be attached to the appropriate people:

| Ken - boutonniere | Mary Jo - corsage |
| Erynn - boutonniere | Mary Lee - corsage |
| Devon - boutonniere | Helen - corsage |

2:30 pm - Ethan begins the music with the Vince Guaraldi cd. This will be playing in the reception room as guests arrive.
Bouquets are passed out to the bridal party. Bridal party will be ready for some before shots with the photographer.
As guests arrive, we need someone at the guest registry table greeting people, making them sign cards, and directing them towards the wedding ceremony. Possibly Nicole and Patty?
We need two ushers outside at the wedding ceremony area directing guests to their seats. I just need them to point out bride and groom sides and make sure the front two rows are reserved for family. Possibly Adam and Ryan?
It wouldn't be a bad idea to have someone at the front lobby directing people either. Maybe the Steinhoff men can loiter by the front door.
2:45 pm - Ring check. Ken should have the bride's ring and Dani should have the groom's.
3:00 pm - Ceremony is scheduled to start. Once all the guests arrive, Ethan should stop the music (or arrange for someone to stop it) in the reception area and prepare to play outside.
Wedding party should prepare for their grand entrance.
Ushers need to urge people to be seated and then, once that's accomplished, usher the grandmother and mothers down the aisle.
3:10 pm - Ethan plays "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" as the wedding party enters in the following order:
| Officiant - Herb Hill |
| Groom - Matt Steinhoff |
| Best Man - Ken Steinhoff |
| Groomsman - Erynn LeRoy |
| pause |
| Matron of Honor - Valerie McDonald |
| Maid of Honor - Dani Price |
3:15 pm - Ethan begins playing the Steinhoff Wedding March. Mary Jo stands up and turns toward the bride. The audience follows her lead. Sarah and Devon proceed down the aisle - without tripping! Ceremony commences.
3:20 pm - Ceremony ends. Matt and Sarah walk back down the aisle and then the guests disperse. As soon as possible, Ethan should start the music in the reception area with the Wedding Dinner cd.
Formal photos will be taken at this time. Marriage license will be signed. The bar will be open in the reception hall and there will be a fruit buffet for hors d'oeuvres.
4:00 pm - Around this time, photos should be done. The wedding party will now be introduced at the reception. We'll gather at the main door. Ethan will stop the music (just let the song that's playing finish) and Adam will announce the party in the following order:
| Officiant: Herb Hill |
| Mother of the Groom: Lila Steinhoff |
| Mother of the Bride: Mary Jo Price |
| Father of the Bride: Devon Price |
| Groomsmaid: Erynn LeRoy |
| Matron of Honor: Valerie McDonald |
| Best Man and Father of the Groom: Ken Steinhoff |
| Maid of Honor: Dani Price |
As they are introduced, wedding party should go to their seats and stand there. Seated at the head table, in order from left to right when facing the table are Valerie, Dani, Sarah, Matt, Ken and Erynn. Everyone else should sit at the family tables.
Adam will then announce the spastic couple:
Mr. and Mrs. Matt Steinhoff
Matt and Sarah will stay at the dance floor for their first dance.
The rest of the wedding party can sit down. Adam will announce the first dance and away Matt and Sarah will go - burning up the dance floor to "When You Say Nothing At All" by Alison Kraus. The audience will attempt to stifle their laughter.
After the first dance, any needed repairs to the bride and groom's attire as a result of tripping all over each other on the dance floor will be made and they will be seated.
Ethan should start the music again while we pause to regroup.
Champagne should be at all the place settings.
When we're ready, Ethan should stop the music and Adam will announce the first toast by the best man. Best man toasts. Groom toasts. Adam offers the microphone around to anyone else that wants to make a toast. Once the toasting is complete, the music will start up again.
4:30 pm - Buffet is on! Adam should announce when dinner is about to be served (Karen should let him know) and that the wedding party will go first, then the family tables and then everyone else.
5:30ish pm - Once dinner appears to be over, the party will begin. Music will stop. Adam will announce that the dancing will start with the father of the bride and the bride's dance. Ethan will queue up "Sara Smile". About a minute or so into the song, Adam will invite everyone else up to dance. From there, the music should pick up where it left off and just keep on playing for the rest of the evening.
6:30ish pm - We'll let Adam know when we want to cut the cake. Adam will make the announcement. Matt and Sarah will slice away and then everyone gets cake!
7:30 pm - Adam will announce the tossing of the bouquet. Sarah will toss. Mayhem will ensue.
8:00 pm - Matt and Sarah prepare to depart. Adam will announce the "tossing of the birdseed" so people can line up outside. Once they are ready to be pelted, Matt and Sarah will make a run for it.
8:30 pm - Reception is over and clean up can begin!
