We are planning to have our mid-morning wedding on Sunday, May 21st. It is a lot cheaper that way, and it just worked out better with our preferred venue.
The problem is that I'm not sure when we'd do a rehearsal. I know we technically don't -need- a rehearsal, but several of the people who we hope will be in our wedding party have mentioned how much easier it is when they've had them. (we were in a wedding with them this past weekend and they all agreed that they were glad to have a rehearsal).
The venue is booked for the Saturday before, so that evening is out.
The rehearsal for that wedding will probably be on Friday, so that leaves Thursday for us. The issue is that most of my family are from out of town, so they probably won't be here yet.
What should we do? Have it on that Thursday and just fill in the family members who weren't there? See if we can get there early and do it Sunday morning, but then not have a dinner?
