De Asks: Is it okay to have an early afternoon reception?

I am having my wedding on a military base and I am running into a big problem (at least for me anyway). The chapel only allows weddings from 12 noon to 2pm due to scheduled 3 pm baptisms and 5 pm Catholic services. They say they do not want to rush people out after the Catholic services because of their fellowship. Do I need to just accept the 1pm wedding with a 2 pm reception? Is it a big deal to have such an early reception?

I am the mother of the groom. I have one child who is getting married to the most amazing woman. We are all thrilled. My question is: I can’t find the mother-son dance song that fits us. I have spent hours looking at the songs on the Internet and they are all boring. Can you help? Thanks.

Marilyn Asks: What should the Mother-of-the-Groom wear?

I am the mother of the groom, 5’9″ and not particularly fond of my legs.  I would like to wear a floor-length or tea-length dress for my son’s formal outdoor summer wedding. The mother of the bride is short and thinks she looks shorter in a floor length gown so she would like to wear a knee length dress.  Will I look out of place if I wear a longer dress than the MOB. The bride says she doesn’t care, whatever I am comfortable in, but I sure don’t want to make any wedding etiquette mistakes. Any suggestions?
