Your presence is truly the greatest gift we could ask for.

As we prepare for this next chapter together, we’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on what it means to build a meaningful life and home. After helping clean out Aunt Peg’s house, we were reminded that the things we collect should truly serve us and reflect the life we want to live. Through her incredible generosity, we have already been blessed with an abundance of the things we need for our home. We know she will be with us in spirit, and while we deeply miss hearing her laugh, we are grateful for the love—and so many little pieces of a life well lived—that she left behind.

More than anything, we are grateful that you are choosing to celebrate with us. We know that being here requires your time, travel, and expense, and we do not take any of that lightly. Your presence, your love, and your support as we begin our marriage mean more to us than anything you could wrap in a box.

So please come. Be present with us. Laugh with us, dance with us, and help us celebrate the beginning of this next chapter. That truly is enough.

We also know that some of you will insist on giving us something anyway. If you feel moved to do so, rather than filling our home with more things, we’ve included a few meaningful ways below to contribute toward experiences, adventures, and plans for our life together. These are entirely optional, but they are things we would genuinely use, enjoy, and remember—and we would be incredibly grateful to have you become part of those memories.

With Love and Gratitude
