RD Travel Time Etiquette

I'm trying to nicely explain to my stepfather why, although it's incredibly gracious of him to want to host my RD at his house, it doesn't make much sense because our church and where everyone in the wedding party (including myself and Fi) is staying is at least 45 minutes away (and I don't even want to get started on drinking and driving). How do you kindly break it to a parent? He wants to give his time of cooking and setting up for the party in lieu of paying for a full restaurant for 35 people because I know he doesn't have the funds for the latter. Fi and I have the funds to host it ourselves at a restaurant near to where everyone is staying.

    "Hey stepdad, thank you so much for offering to host the rehearsal dinner at your house! It means so much to me. But, it's 45 mins from the church and unfortunately that's just too far for everyone to be traveling the night before the wedding."

    Star's wording is nice. Just be gracious and tell him it's not going to work out.

    In that case, the etiquette is simple: know your chaos theory and watch out for the grandfather paradox. Don't sleep with anyone unless you know for sure that the resulting offspring will grow up to be the leader of the human resistance.

    Unless you went back in a hot tub... then you can bang anyone you want.

    What about a DeLorean?

    If it's a DeLorean, there is a 75% likelihood that anyone who is interested in you is also related to you. I'd hold off on the romance. Unless you're Doc Brown.
