Presence = Presents

The most important thing for us is being able to celebrate our wedding day with friends. 

All this to say, the most lasting gift you can give us is your well wishes on our day.  Come, eat, and be merry!

"You buy furniture.  You tell yourself, this is the last sofa I will ever need in my life.  Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you're satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your sofa issue handled.  Then the right set of dishes.  Then the perfect bed.  The drapes.  The rug.  Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you."  - Chuck Palanhiuk.
Those of you who have visited us in Atwater Village with our little menagerie, know that we have a full 950 square foot house.  Our front room has 2 bookshelves housing our DVD collections, comic books, and other geeky things.  We have plenty of furniture including a sectional sofa and chaise to lounge around during the warm days of summer and to huddle together on, in the 'cold' of winter.

"The bridge", also known as the dining room, is the office with 3 desks and some more bookshelves, along with a printer and our file cabinets.  It is known as the command center as most decisions are made in this room.

The kitchen is in the back third of the house.  It's a bit modest, but has a very modern fridge (stainless steel from LG).  It will undergo some remodeling at some point.  For the time being, it serves its purpose for JC to create crackpies (key lime pie) and magic chicken (chicken adobo).

This is all to say that our registry is not as long as others you may have seen because we simply do not have the room.  The things we need, we have already and if we don't have it, we probably don't need it (yet).

Thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity for spending your day and sharing your blessings with us :)
