Rehearsal Dinner

The night before weddings, the bridal party will usually have a practice ceremony. This is done to go through the steps of what will take place the day of. It includes when the bridesmaids and groomsmen walk down the aisle, when the bride walks in, where everyone is supposed to stand etc. 

After the practice ceremony the grooms family will host a nice dinner out for everyone closely related to the bride and groom.  This is hosted by the grooms family because the brides family is responsible for paying for the reception. This is how weddings are traditionally paid for but have changed in recent times and depends on the individuals getting married. 

Below are pictures from the rehearsal ceremony and dinner the night before my sister Laura's wedding:
