Story

When Katie first saw Kyle, they were on the rooftop of Katie's, now both Katie and Kyle's, apartment building, attending a Kentucky Derby party hosted by Heidi and Arjun (in the wedding party). Kyle showed up just a little after Katie did and caught Katie's eye... then offered to refill Katie's drink and Etta's drink too (a very sweet gesture). Katie had taken a law school exam that day and coincidentally was in desperate need of a refill. Later in the afternoon, they chatted more and spent time connecting over having both lived in Kentucky even though Katie only lived there briefly.

Even later on in the evening, the party moved downstairs in order to (at least pretend to) watch the most exciting minute in sports (which nearly no one could remember who won the Derby later and where a technicality led to a different winner being declared later). Kyle knew he was interested when Katie made a silly face at him (unthinkable to anyone who knows Katie), and Kyle thought his chances were pretty good in light of the gesture. Kyle asked for Katie's number shortly thereafter, and the rest is history.

Registry

Your presence is enough of a present to us! Seriously. We mean it.

We truly hope you consider keeping your money, but if you are set on a gift, we would suggest a donation to the Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center or St. Jude's in honor of family and friends who have battled cancer; Wounded Warrior Project which supports disabled, post-9/11 veterans; the Cure Alzheimer's Fund in honor of Kyle's grandmother; or the Kentucky Humane Society where Kyle found Roxy and where Bodhi has received loving care.

For those who are set on a traditional gift, we have tried to identify a few of our wish list items, but PLEASE know that we are just so thrilled to include you in our celebration without anything more!
