Dear Guests,

Lauren and Mike are honored that you will share in their special day. Your presence is a gift. They're lucky to already have a home full of everything they need, so please enjoy browsing their wish list, where you can contribute funds to a dream getaway in Venice.

From the day they first met back in 2009, Lauren and Mike have been joking/fantasizing about taking the Orient Express to Venice, which is the height of luxury in their humble minds. With your help, they may just be able to make this madcap fantasy a reality. They would greatly appreciate any support that you can provide.

Lauren and Mike look forward to seeing you all at Congee Village and Housing Works on June 4th. Until then, we leave you with this hook by the progressive rock band, Renaissance, in their 1983 hit, Orient Express:

Start to move, feel closer now

I walk along the corridors of power

Orient Express, life to excess

There's so much to see, and it's waiting for me...

Love,

The Friends and Family of Lauren Nakamura and Mike Crane
