We are getting married in the chapel on our college campus… the original plan was to have the rehearsal the Friday night before the wedding followed by dinner at my fiancé’s parents house. Unfortunately, the college has an event in the chapel from 6:30 to 7:30 on Friday night and we cannot have access to the chapel until 7:30. The in-laws live 20 minutes from campus. So having the rehearsal first puts dinner rather late. And having the rehearsal earlier is not possible because everyone will be coming from out of town and have to work. I’ve gone around and around in circles trying to come up with the best solution… We need to have the rehearsal at the actual location the wedding will be…. I need suggestions!! Is it okay to have dinner first and then the rehearsal after? We don’t want to keep our guests out late either…and the later it gets the less likely my flower girl and ring bearer will function well. I was thinking maybe having the dinner begin around 6:00 and then travel to campus to have the rehearsal after dinner. Another option would be to have dinner at a restaurant closer to campus, but there aren’t very many options. It’s a small town. And to top it off, I’ll need some time at some point to decorate the chapel…
