For those in the wedding party, we will rehearse the outline of the ceremony.

We should finish and be out in 60-75 minutes.
Rehearsal dinner
For those traveling from out of town, including those who attended the rehearsal earlier, we will share thanks for arriving safely to the area and mingle with family and friends who may not get the chance to talk in person that often.
-
Experience Mestiza's kamayan service – communal dining served on banana leaves and often eaten with hands (or utensils if preferred). The intention behind the menu and style is to encourage guests to get up, move around, and mingle with more than your original seatmates.

Come dressed casually.

At 4:50pm, there may be transportation arranged from the hotel to the dinner. Stay tuned.
