Lara and Oliver
Rehearsal dinners are not a tradition in England, so many guests weren't sure what to expect. But regardless, it was a great way to break the ice, particularly with help of a pub quiz. "People mingled and then created teams for each table. It was outrageously funny for me and Oliver to observe," Lara said. The couple kicked things off with an authentic meal of fish & chips, with fresh strawberries & cream for dessert. Lara wore a 1950s French lace dress from The Vintage Wedding Company, which she personalized with a bit of velvet ribbon and a brooch from her father. Tables were decorated with fern centerpieces, which were re-purposed for the wedding reception (love that idea). As for the quiz, questions covered a variety of subjects and included: What did Lara try for the first time in Amsterdam, and become addicted to? (bicycling). What is ‘toad in the hole’? And how many times has Lara had it? (sausage in yorkshire pudding; 3). What did both Oliver & Lara’s maternal grandfathers do for a living? (printers). What foodstuff did Oliver once have a phobia about? (tinned tomatoes).
