Professional house cleaning is one of those small luxuries we dream of. Help us achieve a year of cleaning, and take some of the pressure off as we both work full time again. We expect a monthly cleaning to cost about $150. If you would like to contribute using a method other than Venmo, send us a message!

We are excited to collect beautiful Judaica to use as we start our home together and follow our shared rituals. We would love to receive Judaica that is beautiful and meaningful to you - whether passing on something you are ready to part with, supporting a special artist, or whatever this means to you. We are still in search of a seder plate.

Immediately after the wedding, we will escape to Western Michigan to spend our first few days as newlyweds relaxing together. Each night is $380, which includes a beautiful room, breakfast, gorgeous grounds to explore, and access to kayaking, paddle boarding, and hiking trails. We plan to stay for two nights, but we may add on a third night later, or one of the à la carte spa options.

Help us frame our Ketubah and wedding photos! Any contribution is appreciated. For context, we expect framing our Ketubah to cost in the ballpark of $400.

After the wedding, we're planning to host a weekly puzzle night with friends and family. This board will allow us to store our in-progress puzzle from one week to the next!

Help us phase plastic out of our kitchen to reduce exposure to PFAS!

The "Moonstone Hora" design resonates with our excitement for the hora; to be surrounded in joy and uplifted by our village. We chose the "life's journey" text in honor of our eagerness to walk side by side through ours and our village's milestones. There are three ways to gift our ketubah: a gift card from ketubah.com, send us the amount via Venmo or Paypal, or call us with your credit card information to purchase the Ketubah directly. We will place the order ourselves to track its progress.

After the wedding, we want to have the glass shards from the chuppah made into a mezuzah for our home. The scroll is listed as a separate item on the registry. If you our kind enough to gift us this, we hope you will take over collecting the shards after the wedding and shipping them to the artist.*Rounded up to $200 to account for shipping both ways
