The calm before the storm

It’s funny that the website has gone quiet this month because things are definitely picking up! We’ve been getting RSVPs but there are still a bunch of you we haven’t heard from. Please visit guest central and let us know if you’re coming.

We booked our honeymoon in Merida, I got my dress finished, and we’ve finalized the menu of delicious Indian food with our long-time friend Vimala Rajendran.

Ruby’s working hard

Just wanted to throw some credit where it’s due. Ruby has been working really hard on this website, specifically the RSVP stuff. She spent all day yesterday and a real long night getting it ready for prime time. (Your paper invites are in the mail BTW.) You wouldn’t believe the hassle Drupal has been. (Our website CMS) So I hope everyone enjoys the 21st century, web 2.0, internet goodness that is our RSVP form/website. (with special help from theknot.com) As it works super smooth with no bumps its all because of her hard work. Love ya Ruby!

Gift registry

Posted in Wedding on June 8th, 2006 by Ruby – Comments Off

As you can tell, we are not into the idea of traditional registries. However, we appreciate the generosity of our friends and family, and there are some ways you can help us in our new life together.

We would never have met if it were not for Internationalist Books and Community Center where Brian volunteered for NC Indymedia and Ruby was on the Board of Directors. Please consider giving a gift to support Internationalist which has been an incredible intellectual and political resource in our community for a quarter of a century!

We are hoping to grow our family in the near future (ie: have children) but we currently live in a 840-square foot home, which is maxed out by the current occupancy of two humans and two cats. So we plan to either be expanding or moving by the end of the year. You can support this effort with Lowe’s gift certificates or contributions to our joint savings account at Self-Help Credit Union.

We are also extremely concerned that the legal recognition we will enjoy as a couple is not available to all of our friends. We hope you will share our concerns about equal rights for gays and lesbians and make a gift in our honor to one of these organizations fighting for justice: Freedom to Marry, Human Rights Campaign.

Finally, if you really want to give us stuff, we have developed a list on Amazon of things we can use or would really enjoy.
