Join Val and Ned at our Rehearsal Night Reception, kicking off the weekend at a place close to Ned's heart - the Museum of Science. As an inquisitive child, Ned would ride the subway into the city solo, spending entire days exploring the exhibits, asking questions, and falling even more in love with science. It's a place that helped shape him into who he is, and we are so excited to welcome you there for a night of celebration. We will have heavy hors d'oeuvres, (so don'tworry about dinner), and open bar, and music, as well as exclusive access to the exhibits of the Blue Wing. Yes, it includes the dinosaurs! Cocktail attire encouraged, and we hope you will have fun with it. Sparkle and shine, come in sexy black, or bold Ned-inspired color. Please, no white. Whatever you do, DO NOT LEAVE EARLY! There is a surprise event at 9pm.
