Early Friday evening at the St. Louis airport. Flight to Chicago running 2.5 hours late. Will miss the rehearsal dinner and party. I'm bored. Reduced to taking pictures of the coffee machine at the American Airlines club.
The whole concept of rehearsal dinner is one I just don't get. Why can't people accept that the party will be what it will be, i.e. perhaps not perfect? I can't see that you'll change the menu after the rehearsal dinner anyway, so what good can it do apart from bringing more business to the catering industry and lowering the stress levels of control freaks?
On the positive side I suppose it's a good way to bring the close family together on the day before. In France what is usually done is you keep the close family on the day AFTER. It's far less formal and for more relaxed than the wedding party itself and everyone always has a good time.
I hope the rehearsal dinner never makes its way to France.
...but I'm sorry you missed this one and were bored at the airport. Not interested in buying a good book?
