Getting married is a bit like being a kid at Christmas again. The anticipation, the months of buildup, the feeling that one single day holds actual magic and that overwhelming joy of unwrapping a whole new chapter of life – all of it mirrors that same childhood festive buzz surprisingly well. Not to mention it’s practically impossible to sleep the night before either way!
And much like Christmas Eve, the night before your wedding tends to involve a lot of sitting around waiting for the excitement to properly begin, which honestly just gives you more time to fret over everything that could go sideways. But instead of stressing over things you can’t control anyway, Hog Roast Tiverton has got a much better suggestion – and we think you’ll like it too.
Two words: rehearsal dinner.
Rehearsal dinners, sometimes called pre-wedding dinners, are a brilliant way to fill your wedding eve. For one, they give you a chance to surround yourself with the people who matter most. And many couples also find it’s a super easy way to introduce guests who haven’t met yet – parents, siblings, the works – before things get too busy on the big day itself.
With all of that in mind, it won’t come as much of a surprise that these events have been growing increasingly popular lately, with more and more couples choosing to tack an extra day of
celebration to their wedding weekend. After all, if you’ve got all your favourite people in one place, why wait until the wedding day to start enjoying
yourself?
That was exactly the thinking behind one local couple’s plans for the evening before their wedding. With 65 friends and family members joining them, they wanted to make the most of having everyone together before the main event, opting for a relaxed pre-wedding feast with Hog Roast Tiverton’s Gourmet BBQ Menu at the centre of it all.
From meaty burgers and succulent sausages to freshly prepared sides, we made sure there was plenty for everyone to tuck into, giving guests an easy excuse to relax and catch up ahead of the big day. And really, that’s the beauty of a rehearsal dinner. It gives you one more chance to celebrate with the people you love, while taking some of the pressure out of the night before the wedding. Rather than sitting at home counting down the hours and wondering what could possibly go wrong, you can spend them laughing, eating and making memories – and we know which one we’d prefer!
