Greetings!

Hello friends and family,

We are honored you will share in our special day. Your presence is our gift.

We're lucky to already have a home full of everything we need, and well, really, our home has about all the things it can fit. But if you are so inclined, you can enjoy browsing our wish fund where you can contribute to our dream life of experiences and endeavors.

Thanks for visiting and we can't wait to see you on our big day!

We were not going to have a gift aspect to our wedding because our home has about all the things it can fit. However, some of you have insisted on a gift/fund registry.

You can make contributions if so inclined, but there is no obligation, via check, cash, or online payment. Our wedding registry consists of a fund that would help us in funding our future experiences and endeavors. For instance, going on couples retreats / honeymoon, and/or a trip to see Unity's family (or bring a couple of them here on a visit). It will also include a fund for helping us with home expenses or a future home fund. We have also started a fund to one day create a center - retreat/spiritual/wellness center for others to experience inner peace and relief of suffering.

But honestly, a gift is not required because the biggest gift of all is your presence on our Big Day of public display of commitment and love. Thank you for your love, and we are excited to share our wedding day with you and later, to share the memories of our experiences or endeavors with you.

Below are more details about the fund experiences and endeavors that you would be contributing to:

COUPLES RETREATS
Couples retreats are not just a "get-away." Yes, we'll be able to do that too, but it is so much more. We love doing things that help us connect on a deeper level, help us communicate more lovingly, and help us grow in getting to know each other (and ourselves) better. Beyond that we also like meditation retreats, health retreats, and yoga retreats. Or a combination of all of those.

VISITING FAMILY IN BOTSWANA
As far as getting to visit her family or bring them here (as long as visas get approved), we would like to be able to see her family more often than once every 2 years. The flight for one person ranges from about $1,400 to $3,500 (no, that's not 1st class the $3,500 is during holidays).

HOME EXPENSES and FUTURE HOME FUND
One of the things we would like is to be able to host family, friends, and wellness events at our home. You know, kinda like a small Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday event or a meditation potluck. You can call them spiritual events, book club discussions, personal growth… It’s kinda like a place of growth and connection for people who don’t have the traditional social clubs like churches, bars, and other social clubs. We have some ideas of how we would like to add-on to our home or we would like to get a bigger home more suitable for this.

Beyond that, there are some minor and major home improvements we would like to make at some point. For instance, better windows and/or hurricane shutters, a bigger master bathroom, a massage studio/room for Unity to work from home.

A CENTER FOR CONNECTION
Our vision for a center includes creating a place where people can gather to connect with each other on their journeys to reduce suffering in themselves and reduce the amount of suffering they produce in the world, so that instead they experience more inner peace and produce love, belonging, and compassion in the world. So, it is a center for connecting socially, connecting with one’s self, and connecting with the world.

It will include mindfulness, meditation, yoga, workshops, self-development, and service. Unity has the passion to have aspects of wellness such as massage, facials, and other modalities of pain relief, self care and healing.

ATTIRE

Something to note about the image attached. Ties are optional.

The image depicts the attire for the wedding. It's kind of like "Cocktail attire but ties are optional."

So, given this information hopefully you ladies can understand what your attire will be. - - - - -

PARKING and GATE CODE
The ceremony and reception will be at Anthony and Rosita's house. Their neighborhood is gated. You will need to park outside the gate along Indian Mound Rd. The pedestrian gate is essentially in the front yard of their house. The pedestrian gate CODE will be sent to you via text, email, or phone call before the wedding.

In the attached picture BLUE is the areas for parking, GREEN is the pedestrian gate, and WHITE is their house.
