    Yup - honestly I thought it wouldn’t be that complicated to do the ceremony without a rehearsal but especially now that the actual program is finalized / our wedding is coming up so soon, I’m realizing I will be all over the place and needneedneed to practice the ceremony so I don’t forget anything 😂😂

    Maybe a park or some one home. I think they are more needed so people know the order of things.

    Necessary I think. At our venue it's kind of a long path for the girls to go down. I also will have my brothers walk our grandmas down but they can't walk the whole path so we are working out how that will happen as well

    Our venue wont let us do one (it's a restaurant so it's disruptive) so i'm a little nervous!

    Exactly! That would probably give me more anxiety if everyone is running around confused!

    Yes because I’m a big ball of nerves in front of people

    The ceremony yes, the dinner not so much. For me, I want to make sure the ceremony goes smoothly with everyone knowing what is happening, and then celebrate at home with a cooked meal for everyone involved.

    It is necessary for us. Though the guys have all been through it before none of my party has, plus we have kids in the wedding. I also think it will help with nerves if we run through everything before the actual ceremony.

    Essential because so many have no idea what to do of where to be before, during and after.

    100% doing it.

    We're having a Catholic ceremony, and I'm not Catholic, FH hasn't been to a Catholic wedding in years, and the overwhelming majority of our bridal party is not Catholic.


    If we don't have one, the actors will absolutely lose it. (And that's not just FH and myself, but also... a large portion of the bridal party. ...Theatre people. We flock together.)

    YES! ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY! Then again I'm also an anxiety ridden wreck when it comes to being on a schedule and wanting to make sure everyone involved knows exactly what's going on. Especially Myself. I will probably rehearse it 87,000 times in my head before the plan is even set

    Absolutely necessary! We’re having a traditional catholic wedding, and it’s imperative that everyone knows what to do, that way the ceremony goes smoothly.

    Yes no matter how small should have a rehearsal...the rehearsal dinner isnt as important but knowing how fast to walk down the aisle is
