So I had to figure out how to get Rob into a tux, without giving away the idea that there was a wedding coming up.

Thankfully, we have a friend in our circle who works with the Sacramento Opera. I asked him if he would extend to us a faux-invitation to an upcoming opera event. This seemed plausible, and also would throw the scent off any association with his upcoming “Birthday” party.

So, Rob agreed to attend the ‘opera event’ scheduled three weeks after his party. So, great. Now I just have to find the place to rent em. No biggie.
