Hello friends and family,

We are very excited for you to share our special day with us on October 3rd! As most of you know, we aren't too fancy. We're planning a 400+ mile bike packing trip along the Great Allegany, C&O, and East Coast Greenway rail trails as our honeymoon. WHICH IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!

You might be thinking, "wouldn't you want to spend your honeymoon in some tropical getaway instead?" No, not really. We would obviously love to see the whole world and plan to venture out in the years to come, but with our current time frame we decided to take the opportunity to do something we've been wanting to do for a while.

We wanted to do something a little different than your standard wedding registry. "But wait! Don't you need new kitchen appliances for your new house?" "Wouldn't you like something that would make your home a little more cozy?" To be honest, we have everything we need short of new carpet and replacing a temperamental dishwasher.

We know it hasn't been the easiest year and a half for a lot of you. It hasn't been for us either. That's why we decided to set up this fund instead of asking for specific items that have large price tags. We would be much happier knowing that you can contribute an amount that meets your budget.
