JT brides re: ceremony rehearsal UGH

due to the fact that we are getting married at our RH we cannot have a rehearsal. I am stressing this, severely.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to where we might be able to have a rehearsal?

We are having the dinner, to give out gifts etc. But it seems odd to do this sans rehearsal.

im in the same boat..we are going to do it at the hotel because the person marrying us is Fh cousin and hes staying at the hotel...so we are just going to do a dry run the night before with him and everyone

why not just have a dinner? we are getting married at our RH as well, not having a rehearsal but will probably just have a dinner the night before b/c all of fh's friends are in the BP and from out of town.

Just a thought...
How many in your bridal party? If it it a small amount, have them meet at someones house or at the rehearsal dinner location to do a mock rehearsal. Just to show how everyone should be lined up? IDK just a thought?

We are getting married on a Saturday afternoon and they wouldn't allow us a rehearsal to keep room available for potential parties

we had our ceremony at the RH too...and our maitre'd actually did a quick 10 min rehearsal with us before the ceremony. like the order we go in and where to stop and start walking and stuff. Ask your hall if they do that.

i would have to say majority of halls do not have a rehearsal at all they just do a quick run through right before people arrive. I wouldn't worry about it since its pretty cut and dry. You walk down a aisle nad stand on a side. If your doing readings - then yes i agree can be tricky.

We have no rehearsal but are doing a OOT dinner the night before.

I failed to mention that I live 2 hours away in NJ and all of my family is flying in from the midwest. Th only available house is FMIL, and she is quite honestly one of the least hospitable and nastiest people I know.

lol

oh no. just do it at a restaurant then. if you have enough people for your own separate room then you can do a rehearsal following your program (i you have one) at some point during your dinner.

What do you mean ( program )

Re: JT brides re: ceremony rehearsal UGH

Yeah I think the restaurant would be your best bet...it will turn out fine...maybe...if you can get a minute...type something up so that you can give it to everyone so at least they can see what is going to happen...I have one for mine but it is interfaith so it may not be good for you but I can send it to you if you want
