Dear Friends,

We are so excited about our wedding and thrilled to have you as a part of it. Weddings are about union, commitment, and celebration. To honor that, we have our vows to each other. You, our dear relatives and friends, honor us with your love and presence in our lives. We are so grateful for each of you.

For traditional weddings, there may be a registry for those who wish to honor the newly married couple with a material gift to send them on their way. We had in mind an Amazon wish list for those so inclined. However, we find ourselves uncertain about our living arrangements locally and, more profoundly, about what the future may hold for trans people in the current political environment in the United States. We are prepared to move elsewhere if circumstances require, and sets of china and crystal, however lovely, might not fare well.

Each year, March 31 is International Transgender Day of Visibility. For those who would like to make a monetary gift of support, it would be meaningful to us if the gift were given as cash, check, or through the registry item below in multiples of 31, e.g., $31, $62, etc. Some of you have indicated you would like to choose a gift that holds special meaning or speaks to the relationship we have with you. We would deeply treasure those mementos.

Your presence is our most gracious present, and we need nothing more to honor this occasion. So, we ask that you feel no obligation to contribute to our lives with anything material. Regardless, our gratitude to each of you is unlimited and eternal.

Much love,

Taylor and Kaela
