Rehearsal (Christmas) Dinner
6:00 pm
1507 Tunis St., Coral Gables, FL 33134
Suggested Attire: Ugly sweater, Christmas onesies, or other festive holiday attire.
Ok, we're not really having a "rehearsal," and we know having a wedding around the holidays is tough, but let's make this a Christmas to remember. We'll have a casual Italian dinner at our house on Christmas and anyone in town is welcome to attend! We're also planning a fun, interactive evening to allow family to get to know each other.

You can stay in your wedding attire, or change into your most comfortable, waterside outfit.
Each Friday night, the Coconut Grove Sailing Club has a live band.

The club is child-friendly, but it's up to you if you want to bring yours! NOTE: The Coconut Grove Sailing Club is a private club - Larry and Tara are members. If you'd like to drive there, you can park in nearby parking garages.

Rather than overschedule everyone on your vacations, we'll leave this day open, but we'd love to hang out with anyone who is still in town.
