Pre-Wedding Day Events
Pre-wedding day events can be anything from an engagement party to the wedding shower to the rehearsal dinner. Everyone has their own ideas about what parts are important. My husbands family typically celebrates the engagement with a gathering of the families few closest relatives and friends, in this case, about 100. My family traditionally congratulated the newly engaged couple but never really had a formal gathering. We decided to make this a part of the celebration because it gave our families a chance to get to know one another prior to the big day. It was a great time because we kept it very informal by having a pig roast and bonfire at my husband's grandparents' farm. Our planning was off to a great start!
