A Joyful Celebration! Wedding Rehearsals

"We made a decision early on in the planning of our wedding that no matter what happened, no matter what went wrong or what was less than perfect, no matter who messed up their entrances or their lines, or who was late or didn't show up atall, we were going to laugh about it and enjoy ourselves...

This is YOUR day!  You have been looking forward to it all your life!  Enjoy it!  Let nothing hinder it.  Have fun with it all and don't worry about details.  Think about waking up every day with the man you love most."

Most brides are under the impression that if they are having a wedding, they "need" a formal rehearsal.  This is not true. Some couples do need a rehearsal. But many don't.

You may want to consider having a rehearsal if you have a lot of kids in your wedding party; if you are having a lot of people in a small space; if there will be a lot of participants and action going on in the wedding ceremony itself; or if you have a lot of attendants who are from out-of-town who may be unfamiliar with the area.

The important thing is that everybody knows what to do and how to do it on wedding day.  If you do not have an unusual circumstance,we can accomplish this without the need for a formal rehearsal.

We can discuss your rehearsal need further when we get together to talk about your ideas for your ceremony.  I'll make my recommendations to you at that time.
