Weddings are kind of over-indulgent and we would like to make up for our good fortune by fractionally helping sustain survival for those much less fortunate than us. Please consider donating in lieu of a gift, we can live without a spatula but not without water. Below is a short description of how Charity: Water accomplishes their mission: We invest the money we raise into organizations with years of experience to build sustainable, community-owned water projects around the world. Our team works closely to ensure that every dollar is accounted for and then provides reports back to our donors. Learn about our approach, the solutions we fund and our partners on the ground.

We don't need more things, we'd like a trip to Beijing (it sort of rhymes). But seriously, we are very thankful that you are even thinking about getting us a gift and experiencing the world is more important to us than anything really.
