Gifts
We're lucky to already have most of the traditional registry things covered, so we're keeping things simple. If you'd like to give us a wedding gift, we'd be incredibly grateful for a contribution toward one of the adventures and projects we're building together. Choose whichever fund speaks to you, or surprise us.
One
New Zealand Honeymoon
We're saving for a hiking-heavy adventure through New Zealand: mountains, dramatic coastlines, the South Island, and more than a few places we'll recognize from Middle-earth. We plan to spend a lot of time on trails, see as much of the country as our legs will tolerate, and take an unreasonable number of photos along the way.
“I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.”
Two
Currently: concrete and optimism
We're renovating our entire basement from the ground up. At the moment it's mostly dust, tools, exposed walls, and strong opinions about lighting, but eventually it'll become three rooms we're genuinely excited about. But hey... At least we fixed the radon problem!
Alex's dream movie theatre
A proper dark room, a very large screen, great sound, comfortable seats, and an entirely reasonable amount of unnecessary home-theatre equipment.
Kaitlyn's craft room
A dedicated space for Kaitlyn's creative process (aka mess).
The laundry room
When we bought the house, the laundry room was horrible - the dryer was across the room from the washer! Help us build a space where doing laundry doesn't feel like such a big chore.
Three
The Mortgage
Deeply practical. Surprisingly appreciated.
Four
Wherever it's most useful
For anyone who'd rather skip the decision entirely. We'll put it wherever it helps or inspires us the most, whether that's the honeymoon, renovations, the mortgage, or whatever unexpected expense life invents next.
