Italian Chic. Dress up for a romantic dinner in Italy! Mark & Monique will be in a suit & dress, but feel free to come casual or dressed up!
That’s Amore! The night before we say “I do,” we’re gathering our favorite people around the table for an intimate Italian-inspired dinner, because every great love story deserves a great meal. We’ll be doing things family style with our homemade lasagna, Caesar salad, and bread, plus wine to raise a glass to what’s coming tomorrow. After dinner we’ll laugh, play some games, and enjoy one last evening together before everything changes in the most beautiful way! Come hungry, come ready to celebrate, and come with your best toast prepared!

Sunday Excursion: Waterfall & Winery

This plan is still fluid, but we are hoping to venture out to a nearby waterfall and then to Tsali Notch Vineyard. This plan is very dependent on people's flights out and airport drop-offs.
