Our wedding is fairly elaborate for having only three months in the planning stages. And I will admit to being stressed (that is code word for going slightly crazy). However, I knew this was coming. From the moment we decided that our absolute maximum engagement length would be four months, I knew by the end I would be tired.
Which is why I have been standing my ground on my rehearsal dinner plan. I knew exactly what I wanted from day one… actually before that - I knew before Mr. Robin ever proposed.
Here is a vision of my perfect rehearsal dinner:

Red wine. Spicy pepperoni pizza. My favorite jeans. All our friends.
This is the last time I will see Mr. Robin until we are all suited up and ready. I want to relax. I want to chat. I want to not think about the details. I got the idea from my sister, who just wanted margaritas and Mexican food for her rehearsal dinner, but she didn’t get it - she graciously gave way to family demands for a very fancy, formal rehearsal dinner. But I have been saving her idea for about seven years now. And I am determined to get my way, so I’ve rented out Portland’s most haunted building, Old Town Pizza. They have a large upstairs room which can accommodate the wedding party and out-of-town travelers, so that we can all eat some amazing pizza and just be together.
