Do you have a registry?

In lieu of gifts, Simon and Melissa request that their guests spend their resources enjoying activities and time with family during the event. The couple would, however, appreciate any favorite recipes that you would like to share, which would help them prepare for one of life's most formidable questions, "what's for dinner?".

But I would like to send a gift

If there is something that you would like to share with the couple, please send it to 1912 Portobago Lane, Hanover, MD 21076. It could be a gadget or tool that you find to be helpful, a resource to support their newly formed marriage, something comical, or whatever you would like.

Can I help with anything?

Because the couple will be traveling in for this event, they would prefer to keep the logistics simple. As a result of this, minimal decorations will be used to ensure ease of preparation and take-down. This will ensure that guests can spend time before and after the event gathering with others and relaxing. If you have time before or after the event, we would like for you to spend it enjoying the area and each other.

I would like to attend, but the date / location / time does not work for me

That is completely ok. We fully acknowledge that holding a wedding mid-week near a holiday and in this location may not work for everyone. We know that you love us and look forward to the next time that our paths cross!
