We joyfully invite you to join the celebratory weekend in honor of our marriage! Without the influence and support of each person in our communities, we would not be the people we are today. Therefore, despite the struggles of starting a new life together in this wildly expensive world, we wish to prioritize our connections with you and time together over other “traditional” elements common to weddings today. This is reflected in our choice to celebrate with you for 2 days, as well as our increased focus on connecting, conversation, and food! Please graciously ignore our lack of “traditions” and know we would rather enjoy your company, yours and others so important in our communities, over flowers or a fancy cake. Likewise, we would be more honored with your presence and support with food and setting/cleaning up than with superfluous presents. We do have a small registry if you are interested in blessing us this way, and we would be enormously appreciative of any additions to our honeymoon fund or weighty kitchen tools. We are beyond excited to fellowship with you and we hope you can join our weekend of love and community! ***Allergy disclaimer: Due to the bride's allergies (and some other important guests), we are asking that everyone leaves their tree nut/peanut dishes at home, as well as leaving their favorite perfume/cologne on the shelf. Thank you for your consideration of the bride and fellow guests!
