Hello, family and friends! Please do not feel obligated to give us anything—we would just love for you to celebrate with us on our wedding day! However, we know that some of you may want to help us monetarily or materially as we enter into this next season of our lives. We truly appreciate this generosity! We will be moving around during the next few years as we’ll both be attending graduate schools, so we are trying to minimize the number of material possessions that we own. We plan to use any money gifted to us for getting through school, saving up for bigger purchases such as a car and eventually a house, potential mission trips and travel, and for some low-cost leisure activities—hence the metal detector :) We also love to give use to second-hand items, and plan to thrift for necessities! All that to say, there are some new items linked below that we anticipate using, but if you find a used item that is comparable to what we have listed (especially one of the board games), we would certainly utilize that instead! If you do find a gift somewhere other than through our registry, please just make sure to mark off that it has been purchased.
