As all of you know, we have blended our families and homes. This in turn has left us with WAY more stuff than we could need in 5 lifetimes. Rather than a traditional, structured wedding reception where attendees would traditionally bring a gift and the couple would provide a meal and favor that everyone will throw away and eventually forget, we are asking that every family or group or couple coming bring a dish (or two if you just can't decide)! All any of us could ever really ask for is to have a million happy memories at the end of this life, and that is what sharing a meal with all of our loved ones means to us. Please send the bride your recipe for anything you bring, and we will be binding a cookbook of everything brought and sent to each address to which we've sent an invitation hopres that we can all remember this day and the meal we all shared for years to come!
