As we've lived together for a year or two, We really don't need anything new. But if you were thinking of getting us a small wedding gift, Some money for our honeymoon wouldn't go amiss. We have set up a cash fund on this website under the "registry" tab. OR A wedding card box will be at our reception.

We will be having an "unplugged" ceremony, which means that after you have an opportunity to take a photo at the beginning of the ceremony, we will ask that you silence and put down your phones and be fully present with us during the ceremony. We will have a professional photographer capturing the moment and we will be happy to share these photos with all the guests! After the ceremony, you are welcome to take as many photos as you would like. We will be providing a website where everyone can share their photos from the night.
