Post Wedding Webpage

May 14th, 2005 has come and gone and hopefully it was as enjoyable for all in attendance as it was for us. This webpage will stick around for a while yet, perhaps in perpetuity, though it's likely that updates will become few and far between. There should be a flurry of activity in the near future, though, as we start displaying and linking to photos from the wedding & reception. Soon!

Gift Registry

Unlike many young couples getting married, we're not on the verge of starting a new household. We've already got a wonderful little place of our own and, unfortunantly, enough "stuff" to fill that place to the brim! Since we already have many of the usual wedding gift items but are currently saving for a house to replace our well-loved but small apartment, we're proposing an alternative for those who would like to give a gift: US Savings Bonds. They can be purchased through any bank, or can be purchased online. Although we're still in a period of unusually low interest rates, the EE Savings bonds work differently now than you may remember from years past -- their rate changes every six months rather than being fixed at the time of purchase. The I Savings bonds yield a fixed rate above current CPI inflation index. Either type would be a wonderful gift. Savings bonds do require a social security number to be provided at the time of purchase (for tracking ownership -- they can be replaced if lost or stolen), please email us for ours, or you can use your own (with no tax liability) if purchased through a bank.

If you would like to give, savings bonds are the preferred option. If you would prefer a more traditional gift, however, we've established a registry at Amazon.com and are considering a honeymoon registry, as well as additional stores -- email if you have a suggestion for a store you would like us to use. One note about Amazon, if you have problems when shipping to the automatically provided "gift registry address," entering our address manually should solve them.
