This I think is a nice custom. To provide the family with a waiting room and snacks while waiting for the ceremony to begin. First time I experienced this was at our son's wedding in Tokyo SDA Central church. We had to be there from 7 or 8 in the morning until after the ceremony and clean up. It was so organized with everything ticking on schedule. The family waiting room was so nice as a place to just relax. We had to be there for hair styling and ceremony practice, but not only was it good for us to be able to escape to the family room, but it also got us out from under the workers feet. Just before the ceremony, both families are organized and introduced to the other side. This can save the embarassment of not knowing who is a relative. Other guests are not invited to this room as they are not expected to show up until almost starting time when they can be ushered into the chapel.
