<human>: FH is German, I'm American, wedding in US. I put together a day of timeline this wknd. All of a sudden, FH saw it laid out and wanted it done all differently (despite not having an opinion when I booked things). I did not appreciate this. We decided to think it over and talk again this week about it.

8 German family/friends flying over for the wedding. FH feels that our schedule from 4-7pm is "rushed" and that the Germans will hate it (plus it ends too early). I've laid out the guest perspective below. Can you guys provide feedback? No travel time needed – it's all at our house.

Ceremony 4-4:30pm

Cocktail hour + apps for guests 4:30 to 5:45pm. Six (6) family photos scheduled at the beginning.

Dinner (buffet style for 45 guests) 5:45 to 7pm
(*Note – we'll be off taking photos, eat quickly by ourselves, then use dinner to greet our guests)

First dance 7pm

Dance party 7pm to 10pm (venue is our house, DJ leaves at 10 to be respectful of neighbors)

He now wants to do a first look so we can take photos beforehand, cut down the family photos (again, there are SIX. Six photo combos, guys), start dinner at 5:30, leave the food out for a couple hours (?!?!) so people can go back for seconds later (yeah, no), and push the DJ start time back to 7:30. 

What do yall think?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: – European FH thinks 1.25 hour cocktail hour + 1.25 hour dinner timeline is too rushed, wants to push everything out. Need advice on if this really is too condensed, or it's just cultural differences.
