Weiss has the answers to all of Rycroft and Strickland's burning questions ... and yours.

Rycroft and Strickland's Questions:

What's the Right Amount of Time to Mingle With Guests?

"I want to talk to everybody, but I want to enjoy the festivities and dance and eat," Rycroft said.

Weiss says that couples should spend 5-10 minutes at each table of guests.

"Reception lines are out," Weiss said. "The modern version is that you walk around to the tables during the night."

It is important to visit briefly with your guests, she said, just for a quick hello.

"People have come all this way to see you," she said. "Go around and try to see everybody. They'll remember that."
