Hello friends and family,

We are honored and appreciate all of your well wishes, especially during this unprecedented time. Instead of our big celebration plans, we're eloping! Despite being apart, we thank you for being part of our new family moving forward.

We understand that some may want to provide a symbolic affirmation in a special way for us. We're fortunate to have a home full of everything we need.

In memory of Pogi, and in support of Bilbo, Rita & all our corgi rescue dogs, we would appreciate support for the Foster dogs of Queen’s Best Stumpy Dog Rescue. You can name us or any of the dogs by name when you volunteer, donate, or send supplies.

Just 5 years ago, the United States Supreme Court affirmed our right to be married. Today, we still can be fired or discriminated in 29 of the United States and only 24 states offer us protection for adoption. We would very much appreciate if you vote, advocate for, or donate to an important cause: passage of The Equality Act. Our family's basic plea is to live free of discrimination and ignorant persecution. Please review where your candidate or party stands, reject hate and choose love for all. You can publicly voice your courage and support for us through #LoveWins on your social media.

Both of those avenues directly impacts our family (and one will cost nothing!)

Finally, we understand that some might insist on helping with our elopement day, starting our family, and (future) honey moon. You can use this Honey Fund for safe convenience, or reach out on Venmo (no fees), or contact either of us for our mailing address. We want to stress that it isn't necessary and we are fortunate to be able to support ourselves. Your love is a gift.

If you have any questions, please feel free to visit our website or contact us.

Eric & RJ
