Wedding Day Time Line 

felix pakhuis

On the 26th of August my fiancé, Luc, and I got married. 
If you are planning a wedding
or helping someone plan theirs, then this time line might come in handy. 

I know everybody has different plans and schedules on their big day
and every culture has their own traditions.
This article is just to give you guys a small recap of our wedding day
and it might be helpful to some people. We got married in Antwerp,Belgium.
I'm always happy to answer specific questions about the locations as well. 

Let's get started!

I made a script in Excel. Below you can see a small fraction of what it looked like.
Make a document that you can send to everyone who is attending your wedding.
Make sure to mention the exact time, activity, location and the names of the people
who have to be present at that moment.
