Welcome Family and Friends
With a celebration for friends in NYC in March 2026, and a legal ceremony and reception for family in October 2026, we are looking forward to being in community with our loved ones. If you feel inclined to give a gift, we would be grateful if you chose an experience to help us create new memories!

Honeymoon
Portland, Oregon, USA
A list of things Robert and I love (in no particular order): Each other; cafes with world-renowned coffee and matcha lattes; independent bookstores; vibrant art culture; unique neighborhoods; and public transportation. The good news? Google says it's exactly what we'll find in Portland Oregon.
