Hello family, friends, friend-family, and family-friends!

We have been courting each other for seven years now, and during that time, we've skipped a few 'traditional' steps along the way. Despite not yet being married, about five years ago, we moved in together. First into a group house in Bethesda, MD, then in a small 1-bedroom apartment in Minneapolis, and now in a slightly larger 1-bedroom Minneapolis apartment. During that time, we've accumulated lots of wonderful things: a cast-iron skillet, a blender with 14 attachments, at least 3 sets of linens in coordinated colors, a set of everyday plates, a set of fancy plates, a Dyson vacuum cleaner, and more throw pillows than can fit on all the exposed surfaces of our entire apartment.

We love our current home with all its current things. But we're not in our forever home just yet. There are other parts of the country and the world we want to spend time in before we settle down with our 2.5 kids and white picket fence. One thing we love about each other is that we both value and prioritize travel, adventure, and experiences.

Our future of home-hopping and our history of cohabitation make traditional home-good wedding presents not a good fit for us right now. If you choose to honor us with a wedding gift, please consider helping us achieve one of our sought after experiences on our upcoming honeymoon!
