The Celebration Before The Celebration
The run-through is over. The vows are waiting for tomorrow. Now, it’s time to take a deep breath, gather your favorite people, and let the real celebration begin. The rehearsal dinner is more than just a meal; it’s the official kick-off to your wedding weekend. It sets the tone, breaks the ice, and builds the excitement for the main event.
