Saturday, November 14
6:30pm. Linda walks in at 7:00.
Casa Verbena, the Hearth Room
418 Larkin Street, Alder Bend
It’s a surprise. Don’t tell Linda.
She thinks Rob is taking her out for a quiet dinner for two. Please help us keep it that way:
- Be in the Hearth Room by 6:45. Rob walks her in at 7:00 sharp.
- Park in the back lot on Carver Lane, not on Larkin Street. She knows your car.
- No texts, calls or posts about Saturday until she’s seen everyone. That includes the family group chat.
The evening
- Drinks and hellos in the Hearth Room
- Lights down, phones on silent, everyone quiet
- Rob walks Linda in. Surprise!
- Dinner, family style
- The slideshow, a few toasts, then cake
Good to know
Dress code
Cocktail. Linda’s favorite color is dahlia pink, so wear a little if you like.
Parking
Free lot behind the restaurant, entrance on Carver Lane. Valet out front is $8, but that’s where she’ll walk in.
Gifts
None, please. Write her a few lines with your RSVP instead. We’re printing them in a little book for her.
Will you be there?
Please reply by Sunday, November 1 so we can give Casa Verbena a final count.
Linda, through the years
A short film for the night. We’ll play it at 8:45, right before the toasts.
Memories of Linda
Add a photo and a line. Maya or Chris will put it up within a day.
