Direct answer

Use a confirmed arrival cue and a responsible coordinator so an entrance begins when the people, route and venue are ready.

Tell the relevant driver, photographer and announcer how changes will be communicated, and keep exits and guest movement clear. Do not hold guests indefinitely for an unconfirmed performance or photograph. Set a simple fallback if the timing slips. An entrance is part of the programme, not a reason to create crowding or pressure the couple into a staged moment they do not want.
