Question

Is there a registry?

Answer

Your presence at our wedding means the world to us, and we truly don’t expect anything more. If you’d still like to gift something, we’re not doing a registry, instead, feel free to bring a gift to the wedding or send a contribution via Venmo: @PloyandAaron. Thank you for thinking of us!

Question

Is the ceremony/reception indoors or outdoors?
