No Rehearsal Dinner

So after going back and forth about this for a while - FH and I have decided to not have a rehearsal / rehearsal dinner (we have a small WP so I don't think a rehearsal was neccessary but thought it would be nice to at least have the dinner- it's just not in the finances right now).  I am just curious as to how many others are not having an RD and if this is not "proper".

    Necessary no. But my BF wedding was total chaos because she didn't have one! I learned from her mistake and we will be doing one. People can figure out how to walk in a line but the problem is who they are walking with. I was the MOH and the only bridal attendant. There were 2 groomsmen. About 5 mins before the ceremony I had to ditch the bride and scream for people to show me who I was walking down the aisle with. I even forgot to help her get her veil on in the mix! We just kind of winged it and I walked down the aisle escorted by both men. They each had an arm and somehow I held onto my bouquet! In the pictures of the wedding party awaiting the bride you can see the guys but not me. Nobody told me where to stand so it looks like the bride had nobody up there with her in ALL the pictures.
    I hope you get this in time to avoid all the pitfalls of her wedding and have an awesome one yourself. Even if you don't do the RD.

    We have no wedding party...so we're not having a rehearsal or a rehearsal dinner.  It'll just be me and DF up on the altar and we are really okay with that.
    There was entirely too much nonsense involved in choosing a maid of honor, so I just decided not to have one.  My SIL's and my niece are more than happy to help me out without the label.
