Dear friends and family,

We got married in an intimate ceremony on Saturday November 28th, 2020. Due to the pandemic, the majority of our friends and our families were not be able to attend. The safety of those we love is of primary importance to us, and as much as it pains us, we would not have it any other way for the time being. We are currently targeting our reception for October of 2021, when we will be able to invite all of you to celebrate with us in person. So block off your calendars, start hydrating now, and do your stretches in preparation for that, because it will be raucous and unchained indeed.

In the meantime, if you would like to contribute to our honeymoon, we are setting up this fund. Both of us grew up Japan, though in different regions, and we have long desired to show one another our childhood haunts. Having recently combined our households there is nothing that we require in the way of goods or appliances or anything that would necessitate a registry. Getting to Japan, however, does cost a bit, and anything you could donate to that goal would be very appreciated.

We love you all, and hope to see you as soon as possible,

John and Monica
