Hi everyone!

First off, we'd like to say that your presence in our lives is the greatest gift we could ask for. Second to that, if you are able to make the trip to Charlottesville in September, we simply can't overstate how much that means to us. The time, effort, and expense of traveling to VA in order to be with us on our wedding day is something we deeply appreciate in our hearts, and we are so thrilled to get to celebrate our happiest day together with you.

We are fortunate to have a lot of the "essential" home items a newly engaged couple needs. In lieu of a 'typical' wedding registry, we have been dreaming up the perfect honeymoon in St. Lucia, and we would LOVE the help of our friends and family to turn that dream into our reality! We will greatly appreciate and fondly remember these gifts for years to come. Plus, the memories from the honeymoon you'll help send us on will almost certainly last a lot longer than a new set of wine glasses (especially at Michelle's breakage rate).

We'll be sure to document our St. Lucian experience and include it in your much-deserved "thank you" note.

Thanks again and we can't wait to see you in September (or earlier)!

With love,

Jake and Michelle
