"A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or donor" - Luciius Annaeus Seneca.

Michael, our beautiful daughter Blake, and I, have shared a home for the last 4 years in Santa Cruz, CA.

You can say our relationship hasn't always been' traditional' and we prefer it that way!

However, in very traditional moments, like a wedding, it means that we have to think outside the box for things like a registry.

We knew that we did not need a traditional registry for our guests to graciously contribute to.

So instead, we created a "honey moon/home fund."

We know it's weird. But blesseth be 2022 because... there's a website for it!

We registered with a "honey moon/home fund" website where our guest can gift us different things, such as massages, dinners, tools (home renovations), drinks... etc.

We tried to make it as interactive as possible and have set up different ways you can help us have the best honeymoon

or "first time home buyers" experience.
