According to Wikipedia, “the rehearsal dinner is a pre – wedding ceremony in North American tradition held after the wedding rehearsal and the night before the wedding ceremony.” In most cases, the costs the dinner are incurred by the groom’s family. The dinner provides an opportunity for wedding party, friends, and relatives to relax before the big day.
I cannot recall one single item from the menu from our rehearsal dinner. While I may not remember any details from the night, I know that everything ran smoothly. Why? Because, that is how Sene, Aunt Suzie Mae and Aunt Sarah would handle the details. Those sisters could cook.
Traveling all the way from Mississippi, Jerry’s aunts shopped, prepared, and cooked the entire rehearsal dinner. What do I remember? It happened with such quiet grace.
I bet it was some good food!
