Question
How can I bless you guys?
Answer
While we accept, appreciate and WILL receive gifts of any kinds, we would most appreciate that all gifts be sent via the wedding registry which you will find on the "Registry" tab of this website. In addition to that, there will be a cash box on the welcome table the day of the wedding should you wish to bless us in that regard.

THIS IS AN UNPLUGGED CEREMONY.
