The best things in life aren't things. And we don't have enough space in our Brooklyn apartment for new Williams Sonoma crockery. A cash gift also aligns best with Cantonese custom, where guests give a laisee/hongbao ("red packet") to the married couple.

So we are asking guests to please consider helping us fund our dream honeymoon trip to Hawaii. Any amount you choose to contribute would make a great gift. Thank you!
