We do not! We have been married for a year and already have just about everything we need, so please don't feel obligated to give a gift - especially if you already did last year! We would love if you would bring a card so we have something physical to look back on, but no pressure there either. We are just excited to spend the day with you!

We are not super picky about what you'd like to wear to the reception. P.S. is a nice restaurant but definitely not stuffy, so if you're most comfortable in khakis and a polo, go for it. If you're like Mary and enjoy excuses to get dressed up, go ahead and put on that floor-length dress you've been saving for a nice occasion. If you're really stressing over it, feel free to shoot Mary a text and she will help you decide! (631) 617-7609

You can download the Flowbird app or find the nearest Flowbird kiosk. The app is great when you need to feed the meter but don't want to walk all the way back to the car. Everything is by license plate now, so you don't have to display a ticket on your dashboard. There is a small fee to use the app ($0.25 per transaction).

Spiedies: Chunks of marinated chicken breast grilled and served on an Italian roll. Jesse's favorite is Spiedie & Rib Pit; Mary... doesn't get the hype.

Carousel Capital of the World: In the 1920s and 30s, local industrialist and philanthropist George F. Johnson donated five carousels to parks in the area with the only stipulation being that they stay free to ride forever. The carousels close in early September, but you can still peek in to see what they look like if you visit one of their locations.

Rod Serling: The creator and host of the Twilight Zone grew up in Binghamton, and based an episode on the carousel in Recreation (Rec) Park -- "Walking Distance".
