Gift Registry

We truly don’t need any gifts— your presence at our wedding is gift enough! (But, we know this is something people wonder about.)

Jessie sold her house recently and we've consolidated two households into one. Due to space constraints, many of our things are currently housed at Bergstrom Self Storage (aka Jessie's parents' basement), so we don't need any more items for our home at this time.

We are planning a St. Lucian honeymoon for February to escape the cold winter. If you would like to help contribute to this trip for things such as our sight-seeing tours or resort stay, you can do that by clicking here. But mainly we just want to see you in October!
