Hi elyn,
Actually i had the same intention to hold solemnization before wedding dinner. But after attending a few wedding dinners like this, and realising everyone is busy talking, i decided not to go ahead with this plan.
Cos for relatives and elderly, they usually prefer to carry on their conversations instead of listening to the vows. Prefer to have a small group of close frens and family members who really feel happy for us, and wanting to listen to us saying our vows to each other.
U might wanna think twice abt holding both together... Mayb separating the 2 events might be better...
