We had our rehearsal dinner at the Vietnam Palace Restaurant in Philadelphia with the whole bridal party and close family members and friends. We chose most of the menu items and the food was sooo delicious. We were so stuffed that we couldn’t eat the cake!   We booked Erin Farrell for our rehearsal dinner photos and she took some great photos of our friends and family:

The bride and the groom! As you can see, I returned my dress and bought another Ann Taylor dress that was brighter and more appropriate for this occasion. The dress was a steal, it only cost $60!

My sister-in-law with her fiance.

Such a beautiful couple, one of my best friends from medical school and her husband.

Delicious food!

The photographer caught an interesting photo of my cousin looking at his twins on his cell phone.

The cost for the dinner was very reasonable. We had 27 guests, and per table it cost $200 for a four-course dinner. We had for spring rolls, marinated meat wrapped in grape leaves, salt and pepper shrimp for the appetizers, an assortment of grilled chicken, beef and seafood dishes, and cake for dessert. We also included an open bar for the whole dinner and the total bill came out to a little over $1000. It was a fabulous dinner and everyone was pleased with the food.
