Ben thought it'd be fun to make our wedding website by hand, but he forgot that forms are hard. So, we're using The Knot to handle RSVPs.

Registry
Your presence at our wedding is already a big gift for us. Plus, our idea of having only Lego sets in our wedding registry was shot down because people might confuse it with a 12-year-old’s birthday wishlist.
In lieu of a wedding registry, we ask that you please donate to any of these nonprofits:
These institutions that shaped us into the people we are today.
Benjamin Franklin High School
• Ben's high school, a magnet charter school in New Orleans
Childsplay
• Where Lizzy developed a love of theatre as a kid
These small organizations are hyperlocal to Seattle, and we know they will put every dollar into the services they provide.
Bureau of Fearless Ideas • Afterschool tutoring
integrated into mixed-income housing
El Centro De Raza •
community services for low-income individuals including housing, health, and education
Aurora Commons • shelter and health services for the North
Seattle population
Abortion rights are very important to us. While we live in Washington State, where a person's right to bodily autonomy is protected, we both are from states where folks are severely restricted from abortion services due to the overturning of Roe v Wade.
