Through the generosity of many of our family and friends, we’ve already got most of the trappings of home and hearth. With so few home needs, the normal ritual of finding things at a department store that we might want has proved challenging.
Also, your presence, more than your presents, is the important thing. We recognize that nearly everyone has a long trek to be at the event, and many of you are making significant contributions in other ways already.
That being said, if you would like to express further generosity, we are certainly grateful for that.
Something we have discovered over the years is that we really enjoy exploring new places together. While there are a few odds and ends that we’d certainly appreciate, what we’d most like is any help you can provide toward covering our honeymoon expenses. We don’t have a firm plan yet, but we’re currently leaning toward a trip to Ireland in the spring.
There are also causes that we feel strongly about, and if you feel moved to donate in our names, we will gratefully celebrate contributions to:
- American Civil Liberties Union
- Human Rights Campaign
- Lambda Legal
- Museum of Science, Boston
- National Park Foundation
- Southern Poverty Law Center
Finally, if gift wrapping is going to make you happy, we’ve made a short list of stuff that we will definitely use.
