Question
Can we give you a gift?

Your presence is it. We love cards and please sign our event book at the event. For family that feels compelled to give more, you can sponsor an aspect of our honeymoon: a meal, train ride, spa day, or overnight hut trip. We’ll let you know how it goes! Drop a check at the event with a card. 😘
Question
What COVID precautions?
Answer
Please plan to attend with full vaccinations and booster shots. Plan to take a rapid antigen test before you travel and the afternoon of the event. We expect this will bring everyone peace of mind.
