A rehearsal dinner is a pre-wedding event typically held the night before the wedding ceremony. It serves as a gathering for the couple, their families, and the wedding party to relax and celebrate together. This dinner often includes a meal, speeches, and toasts, allowing everyone to bond before the big day. Traditionally, the groom's parents host the rehearsal dinner, but it can also be organized by the couple or other family members. The event usually takes place at a restaurant, banquet hall, or private home, and it provides an opportunity to discuss final details and enjoy each other's company.
