Our wedding rehearsal took place on the evening before our wedding day. It was so surreal to actually be at our wedding rehearsal. It went surprisingly fast actually. We were first arranged at the altar in the places where we would ultimately be once everyone walked down the aisle. I have to admit, if I was nervous at any point during our wedding weekend it was definitely then because it really hit me at that moment seeing us standing there that this is about to happen.
We went through the outline of the ceremony and where everyone would be and made sure everyone felt comfortable before heading to our rehearsal dinner. It was a very special experience filled with laughter and a few happy tears and definitely gave me more excitement for the day ahead.

Like many aspects of our wedding, we wanted our rehearsal
dinner to be an intimate and elegant experience for our family and friends. We
decided to host our rehearsal dinner at the same place where we held our reception,
the Forsgate Country Club.
Forsgate offers a wide array of areas to host any kind of
event and during the whole engagement process we held our bridal shower, rehearsal
dinner and wedding reception at Forsgate (needless to say we love it there!).
Our rehearsal dinner included to exact same group as our
engagement party, we had twelve people who included our immediate families and
closest friends. Since it was a smaller group, we held it in the board room, it
looked like a library and had one long table with very comfortable chairs.
The menu included a tomato and mozzarella salad, a dual
plate of salmon and roast chicken and chocolate mousse for dessert.
It was
great to relax on the eve of our wedding, reminisce on some of our favorite
family stories and also to celebrate our families and friends who have made the
experience so wonderful for us.
