Is there a gift registry?

You've got to be kidding me.

We're not exactly young folks, just starting out.
We have actual furniture, crappy though it may be (nothing made with one-by-sixes and cinderblocks).
We have kitchenware; in fact until recently i still had a crepe maker from my first wedding 28 years ago that i never used -- not once.
In fact, we are trying to get rid of "stuff" since we might be moving in a year or two.

We are looking forward to just sharing this special day with all of our friends and loved ones. So, truly, your presence is your present.

For those of you who are obsessive-compulsive, or just stubborn, or just wonderfully generous, we can suggest places to put your largesse:
