wedding rehearsal

Pre-nuptial dry run

A wedding rehearsal is a practice run-through of a wedding ceremony, typically held the day before the event.

The wedding party walks through entrances, positions, and timing so everyone knows where to stand and when to move: We're having the rehearsal at the church Friday evening.

Often followed by a rehearsal dinner for participants and close family.
