I have a question and want to know how other people would deal. My dad is paying for a lot of our wedding. (like 2/3) His family is going to pay for the rehearsal dinner. They live a distance away, but came down to visit and my fiance told me they wanted us to take his brothers and sisters to have some alone time. The real reason was so they could pick the rehearsal dinner location without us. I want some input because I don't want my friends and family who are coming to have to eat somewhere we don't necessarily like. Do the parents usually do the rehearsal dinner without the couples input?
