JOP

I am having some reservations about our rehearsal.  We met with out coordinator last month and figured out what day and time the rehearsal dinner was going to be.  FI and I talked a while ago about JOP being at the rehearsal and FI didn't want to pay extra to have her there.  He didn't think it was necessary and I agreed at the time but now I am thinking twice about it.  Unfortunately, it is now too late to have JOP there.  She already booked another wedding for the day of our rehearsal (she did run it by me to make sure we didn't want her at our rehearsal).  I did speak with her and we agreed to meet a couple days before the wedding, just the two of us instead to go over our vows.  Is it necessary to have JOP there?  I will still be able to go over who is walking down the aisle with who and in what order so I am hoping that it is not a huge deal that she won't be there.

No-definitely not a big deal. Our coordinator (she comes with the church) said that the pastor who will be performing our ceremony probably won't be at the rehearsal. If you want to meet with her before hand to talk about ceremony things (like if you have any special readings or whatever), I don't think that's unreasonable.

Thanks, that makes me feel so much better!  We don't really have any special readings or our own vows but I think FI and I would feel a lot better knowing what was going to happen.  I want to make sure I repeat her when I am supposed to!!

The JOP who's performing our ceremony won't be at our rehearsal and I'm fine with it. Not a big deal, especially if yours is going over your vows with you a couple days before.

Thanks....I am glad I am not the only one!
