Brother-in-Law in getting married at age 52. Both their first marriage. Grooms mother/father are dead. Bride has ordered that remaining family members give rehearsal dinner since it is the responsibility of grooms family to foot the bill.
At their age, is a rehearsal dinner really necessary? And, if so, should the bride/groom foot their own rehearsal dinner bill/costs?

Traditionally the groom's parents offer to host the wedding rehearsal dinner. However, in these modern times, and especially in light of the age of this couple, many couples are hosting their own weddings. The bride cannot demand to have anyone host any event. If the groom's family would like to host, then they can offer. If they don't offer, then it is up to the bride and groom. The rehearsal is necessary for the wedding to go smoothly, however, if there is no bridal party then it can be skipped. This is up to the couple though.
