One Might Call This A Registry....
...But we'd prefer to think of it as a request list. We've been living together for a couple years now and have both had other roommates previous to that, so there's not much we need for our little house. However, for those interested you'll find both a list of things we'll need to enjoy our honeymoon in the woods, and suggestions for other items that will help us build memories in the years to come. This page is being maintained by our Vice Bride (see "Our Cast of Characters"). Please use the form below to contact her with your questions or updates.
When considering a gift, we'd like to encourage our everyone to think "compact" and "green". With a small car, we appreciate things that can be easily packed up for travel. Additionally, in keeping with our earth-friendly goals, we'd like to ask that people consider gently-used, recycled, and/or ethically manufactured items whenever possible. We also greatly appreciate anything that showcases personal talent and creativity!
