registry and gift information we don't need presents. Really we'd just like to see people there. And whatever my mother says, we invited you for one reason, and one reason only: because we hoped you could make it to our shindig! But we registered. At bed, bath, and beyond, registry number 1593153. Because they have nice things. But really we, er, um, well, we could put money on the house, too, and that might be good. Only it's totally impolite to say so. oh, and, while i'm throwing monkey poo at ettiquette, we have bad luck with crystal. And i'm pretty sure that's a violent, flagrant transgression of everything miss manners stands for. ahh, please don't hate us. Don't think we're barbarians (well, maybe do, but not for this).

Alternatively, if one might wish to give a donation instead of a present, we like Freedom To Marry.org, which works for marriage equality nationwide. The United Nations World Food Programme is also full of lovely people while being less, ah, controversial.
