In 2017, Michelle Belanger and I will marry each other! 

This is one damn good excuse for a party.

We're aiming for a big public celebration in May or June of 2017, but the ceremony will be a much more intimate affair.

I'll share details here as we figure them out, from our wedding registry to Michelle's periscope channel. You didn't think we'd leave you out, did you?

Wait. Periscope channel, you say? Yep. This'll be one live-streamed event you won't want to miss!

 

wedding registry!

We're doing something unusual for our gift registry, because we really don't need or want any more stuff for ourselves. (Seriously, we have three households-worth of stuff here already. Downsizing happens weekly.)

So, if you'd like to give us a wedding gift, what we're asking for is a little different than you might have expected.

We have some amazingly creative friends. And the best gift we can imagine is connecting them with more people who love what they do. If you'd like to give us a wedding gift we'll cherish forever, look through the links below. Find an artist (or three!) whose work speaks to you. Buy some of their art, or support them on Patreon, or sign up for one of the products or services they offer. Get a gift for yourself, support our amazing artist friends, show Michelle & me that you care about us... that's a triple-win if we ever saw one. Tell us all about it on Facebook -- and thank you!!
