Bell Ringing at Ceremony

Can we try to get fake ring shots in ceremony spot after ceremony?

    (bell is closed but can capture sound)
    During Recessional..?  Bell is electronic, Jennifer & Blake won't actually be pulling a rope or anything.

    Need to keep filming recessional, parents will be doing some slightly different things than the processional.
