Checking out a wedding location

Columbia, SC is the destination of the day as we prepare  for next weeks wedding at the Governor's Mansion.  This is a good chance to look over the location as i will not have time between now and then to get a good look.  I'll be checking out things like the over all distance to be covered during the wedding,  Direction from which the sun will be showing ( since it is an outside wedding ).  It will also be a chance to talk to the Bride one last time before the big day.  This is also a good chance to make sure we have a good route, and also to know about how much time we need to allow since this is a good drive.
