MARRIAGE REPETITION

When one is in the midst of organizing his wedding, one thinks of every detail so that everything is perfect on D-Day and to avoid disappointments. That is why the person in charge of your religious or secular ceremony organizes a rehearsal with the main actors, usually the bride and groom, the parents, the witnesses and the possible interveners. Everyone is shown his role, and what he must do or say during the wedding ceremony. As in the theater, everyone repeats his role to be perfect for the big day.

THE MARRIAGE REPETITION DINNER

A formal or informal dinner is organized after the rehearsal. It can take place at your place, in a restaurant or in the place where the wedding will take place. You can also arrange a picnic or barbecue. There are no specific rules, and most importantly, this dinner depends on your wedding budget.

WHO PAYS FOR THIS MEAL?

The parents of the bride and groom usually pay for this meal. But it is also sometimes the bride and groom who pay themselves. Again, it all depends on the financial means of each. If you want to do a rehearsal of your ceremony, you will have to think about adding these expenses in organizing your wedding.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS CEREMONY REPEAT MEAL?

This dinner often allows friends and family of future spouses to get to know each other. When the couple lives away from family or friends, their entourage has never met. It is also the occasion to toast the couple in an intimate atmosphere and to break the ice in a small committee, far from the stress of the big day. The couple can also thank all the relatives who made the trip and who participated actively in the organization of his marriage.

IS THIS OBLIGATION?

The answer is no, of course. It is up to you to judge if this is necessary and if your budget allows you. Plus, you'll want to be fresh for the big day. It is not certain that a small party the day before is the best solution for you and your guests. If you absolutely insist on a rehearsal of the ceremony so that everyone is perfect in his role, it is quite possible to do so without organizing meals.
