Anyone not sitting down during their wedding service?

Depends on how long the ceremony will be, you could get pretty tired standing up!

What will your OH be doing? If you are standing he'll probably have to stand too or you might look a bit silly!

We stood for the whole of our service and readings etc... they had chairs at the side but we didnt use them.

We sat for about 2 mins while the registrar then completed the register etc(didnt really need to though) then we went and sat at the table for the signing photos.

Lol what's your dress like? How will you eat later?!

How many songs/readings are you having?

Do people really sit? I've only been to church weddings, where the bride and groom always stand! I didnt realise there is a choice, I think I'd feel it all a bit informal if I sat down in church!

I always thought that you stood, shows how much I know!!

Tee hee! My dress is quite tight shall we say. The seamstress said she took it more than she would normally, but I wanted to look like the girl in the brochure! it's a mermaid fitted dress. At least at the meal I can bring it right up if need be to sit and no one will see under the table!

Our ceremony shouldn't last more than half an hour, got 1 reading & 1 interlude song. And yes OH will do whatever I do, I think he would also prefer to stand but I can't tell him my reasons for wanting to as god knows what he'll think i'm wearing. It's sophistated I promise!

Tbh I always thought everybody stood but the guy doing our ceremony recommended we sit? And I noticed looking at pictures of civils that have happened at our venue that people sit down. Does seem informal though doesn't it, even if you're not in a church!

We stood for the whole thing. Had no idea there was any other option.

No new shoes, thankfully! Thanks girls, that's decided - standing it is! ?

We sat for the sermon and were kneeling for the prayers.

We stood for all of ours, werent really given the option of sitting down. We could have kneeled for the prayers if we wanted but I didnt think I could get back up again once I'd knelt down so we stayed standing up.

I seem to recall that William and Kate sat for part of their wedding, and that was about as formal as it gets, so it must be acceptable to sit. That said, I don't think anyone would bat an eyelid if you didn't sit.

Our venue ase if we wanted chairs for the ceremony and we were a little confused about it but said we only wanted them for signing of register!

Our venue had a lush purple velvet chaise longue towards the side of the room, facing guests, so we sat there. Was nice to rest a little but also to nudge/snuggle/ etc.

We will probably sit for the readings and music interludes etc. But that very much depends on how easily I can sit in my dress. It only occurred to me after I'd ordered it that I never tried to sit down in the damn thing! ?

We stood throughout.

I'm sure we'll be sitting down at some point, as there will probably be a sermon/talk of about 10 mins long I'd guess - as well as readings etc. Would prefer to stay standing though, so my dress and train stay as they should! Interesting to hear what others are doing. It hadn't occurred to me that we could keep standing through the readings etc.
