Registry
We can’t thank you enough for traveling to our wedding so your presence is the greatest gift of all! We're so excited to celebrate with you. We've been truly blessed to have everything we need to continue our lives together, so we've decided not to create a traditional registry. However, for those of you who have expressed an interest in giving a gift, we would be incredibly grateful for contributions towards our honeymoon fund. If you'd like to contribute, you can do so via Venmo or Zelle. But please, no pressure at all! Your love and support are more than enough. Venmo - @IlianaTenvooren
