Hi Ann
"The first evening" and "the very first evening" basically mean the same thing. The word "very" simply emphasizes the idea of first. Use "very first" if you want to stress that it wasn't just one of the first evenings, but definitely the first of all.
And yes, it's quite normal to use "very first" that way in real life. :lol:
