Mr. Joey and I have been together for 5 years and so by now, we’ve met each others immediate family and actually are all quite close. We’re really fortunate that we each get along really, really well with our in-laws.
Because all of Mama Joey’s family live in Seattle, Mr. Joey has had the chance to meet and interact with them quite a bit. Unfortunately for us, Mr. Joey’s extended family lives in California, he doesn’t get to see them much. I had never met any of his aunts, uncles or cousins. Thankfully, some of Mr. Joey’s family decided to join us for the wedding and his cousin Cate even agreed to read during the ceremony.
The rehearsal dinner was a great way for our families to meet each other. Mr.Joey’s immediate family had heard of nutty Sister Joey but never met her. I had heard stories about Mr. Joey’s cousins but never met them. Finally, everyone got to meet each other.

The other great thing about the rehearsal dinner was that my families got to meet each other. Family from Papa Joey’s side flew in from Sri-Lanka and London and finally got to meet Mama Joey’s family who live here.

My Uncle George flew to Seattle from Sri-Lanka just for the wedding!
Will your families meet before the rehearsal dinner?
