YOUR WEDDING REHEARSAL

A wedding rehearsal is really not a rehearsal.........It is only a "walk-through" of what will happen during the ceremony.

It is not like a Broadway play or Hollywood movie, where everyone has to practice all their singing, dancing, acting, and stunt parts together.

If you have readers or musicians, they do not need to take up everyone's time by practicing at the rehearsal. If your readers feel they would like to practice, they should arrive a little early to practice their reading.

Most rehearsals take about 30 minutes or less. It should not take longer than the actual ceremony.
All your bridal party needs to know is when to walk in, where to stand (or sit), and when to walk out.

The purpose is to show people where they fit in so they will hopefully feel a little less stressed about their roles in the actual ceremony.

I really feel that a simple rehearsal or "Walk-Trough" is very important to put everyone's mind at ease and to make the parties involved feel a little more calm and confident.
