We decided to make the rehearsal dinner fun because we figured people would be stressed out with the wedding details. I think taking everyone to the racetracks might be a strange way to start a wedding, but really, it’s fun and none of us are serious gamblers. Because the season comes to an end on Labor Day weekend, we went the week before, on a Thursday, also known as Buck Thursday because general admission and scorecards are only a dollar. To make the evening more special, we had reserved the President’s Suite for our friends and family. This was the only room that could accommodate the size of our group, about forty, for a reasonable price. It was a nice room, closed off from the racetrack, which was nice because we were able to give our speeches and we had everyone’s attention. We went with the plated meal instead of buffet, just because we thought it would made less waster, and we also found that it was less expensive when you compare it to the costs of buffets and appetizers. Eva and I had this idea almost a year before, so we booked it way in advance. I think everyone was in a good mood, it was great weather, and after the meal we were all able to mingle and hang out.
