While standing in line to checkout last week at the local grocery store, I overheard a young couple discussing who was responsible for the rehearsal dinner. He was saying her family paid for everything and she was saying no that the grooms family paid for things also. After a couple of minutes of listening to them going back and forth I politely turned around and said " the grooms family pays for the rehearsal dinner" much to my surprise other people standing in line had been listening also joined in the conversation. This made me think an article on who was responsible for what at a wedding might be a handy article for someone planning their wedding.
