Frequently Asked Questions

Question

“Do you have a registry?”

Answer

No, we don’t. We don’t need gifts, we just want to celebrate with our favorite people!

Question

“Where are you two going on your honeymoon??”

Answer

We are going to Scotland and Italy! We’ll spend a few nights in Edinburgh, then we’re driving up to the Isle of Skye. After a week in Scotland, we will fly to Bari, spending a week exploring the Puglia region.

Question

“How did you two meet?”

Answer

We were classmates in the Fine Arts program at Cal State East Bay, class of ‘14! Chris focused on hyper-detailed, surreal ink drawings, and Shelby’s focus was surreal still life oil paintings, and metal sculpture. We were friends for a couple years before Shelby got the courage to ask Chris out.
