A Custom Song for Your Perfect Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

The rehearsal dinner is the only relaxed room of the entire weekend. Tomorrow there is a schedule, a photographer, and an aunt with strong opinions about seating. Tonight there are forty people in the back room of a restaurant, half of whom have never met the other half, and somebody has to make that feel like one group instead of two tables.

This is also the only night where the funny version is allowed. Nothing played at the ceremony can mention that they met because he got locked out of his apartment, or that her father asked him three separate times what he did for a living. The rehearsal dinner can. It is hosted by the parents, it is off the record, and the whole room has had one drink.

So write the loose one. The broken buzzer. The four years of long distance and the airport she knows by gate number. The dog that arrived before the ring. The groom's mother crying at the engagement and swearing afterward that she did not.

If you are a parent hosting this and you hate speaking in front of people, the song is your way out. You press play, you say two sentences after it, you sit back down.
