The state park where I want to be married doesn't allow us to bring seats in. Does this mean we have to keep the ceremony super-short? Most of the guests are not seniors or disabled, except my grandmother but she will be in a wheelchair anyways. So what's the longest I can reasonably expect my guests to stand?
Also I'm not sure how to organize everyone if there aren't seats. Any ideas?

This would not be a problem, most ceremonies are about 20 minutes and you should let your clergy know that you don't have seating for your guests so that he knows not to throw in any additional anecdotes. Your bride's guests would stand to the left and the groom's to the right... Nancy Tucker President of Weddings Beautiful US http://www.weddingsbeautiful.com

Dear Alledria,
You could also have all of your guests stand in a semi-circle. The bride could walk in from one side and the groom from the other. The couple and officiant would be in the center. More of your guests may be able to see and hear the ceremony this way. Well, as long as there aren't too many guests.
