GIFTS, GIVING, AND OTHER GOOD THINGS

As we’ve built a life together, we’ve been lucky to be supported by people who have given us so much in so many ways: their time, generosity, encouragement, and love.

So, when it came to wedding gifts, a traditional registry didn’t quite tell the whole story. Instead, we’ve put together a few different ways to give, if you feel moved to do so. You can give to a cause that matters to us (or to you), choose a gift for our home and life together, or contribute toward something fun and experiential.

There’s no right way to give, and there’s certainly no obligation to give at all. Having you as part of our lives, and hopefully with us for the celebration, is already a pretty wonderful gift.

FOR OUR NEXT CHAPTER

Registry

Our registry is less about things and more about the moments they’ll help create: camp gear for future trailheads, kitchen tools for long dinners with friends, and luggage for places we haven’t dreamed up yet. Each item is simply a catalyst, something that will quietly turn into stories, traditions, and well-worn favorites over the next decade of adventures.

GIVE BACK

Some of the most meaningful gifts are the ones that go beyond us. We’ve each chosen causes and organizations that have mattered to us, shaped our lives, or reflect the things we care about. If charitable giving is how you’d like to celebrate with us, we invite you to explore the organizations below.

And you don’t have to choose one of ours. If there’s a cause closer to your own heart, we’d be just as happy to know our wedding inspired a little more good in the world.

HUMANE SOCIETY

Some of our most life-giving moments have come from walking dogs together at the Humane Society. What began as a simple act of service became a steady source of joy—wagging tails, fresh air, and the quiet reminder that second chances can change every life they touch.

SALVATION ARMY

We are deeply grateful for some of the most incredible people we’ve been lucky to call friends—many of whom have experienced homelessness—and we’re thankful that organizations like The Salvation Army help create pathways toward stability, dignity, and a new way forward.

BBBS

Through Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America, we’ve built some of the most meaningful relationships of our lives—especially with our favorite Little, whose growth, laughter, and resilience have inspired us more than she’ll ever know.
