As a British groom, I must clarify that the rehearsal dinner is less a grand affair and more a quiet supper for the wedding party the night before; my own was a simple meal at the local pub, not some lavish event. The best man's primary duty, in my experience, is the terror of delivering a speech that is both witty and kind, a task my brother is currently losing sleep over. And a destination wedding feels rather like imposing a costly holiday on one's guests; my fiancée and I chose our village church precisely so our grandparents could attend easily. Tradition, for us, is about inclusion and comfort, not spectacle.
