We are very blessed to already own our home and have many items to make it feel cozy, but we'd really love to take a big honeymoon together to Greece/Italy/France next spring. While your presence at our wedding is more than enough, if you would like to send a gift, we would be honored if you would consider making a contribution to our honeymoon fund to help us secure flights, hotels, and some boating experiences while we are away.

Help us save up to buy a chest freezer to put in our garage

We are so blessed to own our home and already have many items to fill it, but we'd love to invest into some cosmetic work around the house and make a few updates. In lieu of a physical gift, we would appreciate a contribution to our home improvement fund to help us save for new paint color for our bedrooms and bathrooms, furniture for our living room and screen porch, and a facelift for our landscaping.

If you know Lauren, you know that she LOVES flowers and dabbles a bit in floral design. After the wedding, Lauren would love to preserve her bridal bouquet in a resin display piece so that she can admire her wedding florals for years to come. A contribution to this fund will help to offset the hefty cost to send the flowers out for preservation.

After the wedding, Christian and Lauren will head to the West Coast for a few days to relax and enjoy their first vacation as a married couple. They'll be spending a few days in Sonoma and can't wait to schedule some wine tastings!

Our Kerurig machine is over 10 years old; an upgraded machine will help morning coffee feel more like a luxury

We are in need of a carving board- but it doesn't have to be this one! We are open to other styles or designs if you find one you love more (especially if you can find one at a more modest price point)

We're a big breakfast household and stainless steel mixing bowls will help us perfect our hollandaise sauce!
