Happy New Year. We can’t believe it’s less than three months until our much-anticipated wedding celebration! We apologize for the delay in sending out invitations–we wonder where the time went, but then remember that in December we learned that we are number 9 on the list for adopting a safely surrendered baby through Alameda County. The first 6 people on the list have gender and other preferences, so there’s a good chance we could see a baby this year. Upon learning this we flew into an organizational and renovational frenzy! We had hoped to send mail invites, but figured it was better to get hotel block information into your hands sooner rather than later. We have heard from several people coming from different regions that flight prices seem to be decent (or at least acceptable!) right now, so it might behoove you to check and perhaps book now. Please use this wedding website to find information about the available hotel blocks (under the travel tab), and receive information about shuttles, schedules, etc. The morning after our wedding, we will be hosting coffee and pastries in our garden and home at 2363 Catalpa Way in Hayward from 11:00-12:30. We are not using a conventional registry, In light of our imminently expanding family. If you feel so inclined to give us a gift, we would be ever so grateful if you would consider a financial gift to help us complete necessary improvements and renovations, as well as acquire essential baby items (made out to either Joshua Rubietta or David Cheng).
