Having you at our wedding is the best gift we could ask for, but if you'd like to give something more, we are registered with Williams-Sonoma and Zola.
Most of our registry is here: everyday kitchen things, a few nicer pieces, and some basics for hosting in our first apartment together.
View the registry →A few things that didn't fit anywhere else, plus a honeymoon fund if you'd rather give to that.
View the registry →Something to play before the ceremony, or while you wait for photos to wrap up.
