Run of Show

Raffle

11 prizes · Each tied to a story · Austin reads as winners are announced

How it runs

Guest arrival (3:00–3:15 PM) — every guest gets a raffle ticket from the bridal party.

Social hour (4:00–5:00 PM) — all 11 prizes on display. Guests drop tickets at their pick. Extra tickets at a self-serve Venmo station.

End of dinner, before desserts — Bennett & Lana give a short Gospel message, then Austin announces part 1 (first ~half), reading each story.

7:30–8:00 PM — Austin announces part 2 right before Stephen's live music. Between part 1 and part 2: desserts, yard games, golden-hour photos.
