It may sound corny or schmaltzy, but what we want most are your best wishes, your prayers, and your support throughout the years to come.

But let's be honest. We do want gifts too --- special gifts, that come from your hearts and represent who you are. We would like to encourage family and friends to fill one or more pages (11.5 by 14) with messages, pictures, memories, stories, best wishes, etc. for us to keep in a scrapbook. Please use this page in place of a card or gift. This would mean more to us than we can say, and we anticipate a wonderful variety of designs and messages.

We are also registered at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. However, since we plan on living in apartments and moving around for the next 5-10 years, the registry is limited.

If you would like to buy a gift, check out our registry, or BE CREATIVE! Our favorite colors are light and dark blue, sunny yellow, maroon, silver, and black. Other ideas include house plants (we love them) or gift certificates for national restaurants (for our honeymoon) or donations in our name to Habitat for Humanity. Feel free to combine resources and work with other guests to give something larger from our registry, or again be creative. Gifts of money are also appreciated.

More important than any gift is the thought behind it, and the knowledge that you, our friends and family, are thinking of us. Again, do not feel obligated to bring a gift.
