what's different?

we have made some deliberate choices, here they are and why...

NO DIAMOND?!?

-nope, but the ring is gorgeous in the designer and possessor's opinion. the idea is to not perpetuate the demand for diamonds, which sometimes perpetuates the conflicts in Africa, specifically Sierra Leone.

EMAIL SAVE THE DATES AND ONLINE RSVP?

-yeah, because we want to save trees and also save money on these things so we can spend it where it counts...celebrating God's love with as many friends as we can!

NO TUXEDOS?!?

-yeah, austin is allergic to the material formalwear is made from.

WHY NORTH CAROLINA?!?

-well we met and fell in love in a great community in winston-salem, but don't worry bride's folk, a celebration in Indiana is in the works.

ARE YOU REGISTERED AT CRATE & BARREL?

-nope, but sometimes we wish we were, those black and white boxes are fun. really we have spent a few years on our own and have all the housewares and material possessions we would ever need, maybe more! so not only do we not need stuff, other people do...like drinking water, a safe home, or a revitalized village.
