Our Wedding Registry
Here's the deal; our registry is going to be a bit complicated. That's for a few reasons:
- We know that Brasil is very far and expensive to get to and we are not expecting any kind of wedding gifts. The best present you could give us is to join us in Rio for the big wedding.
- The second best gift you could give us is to join us in Ohio for our party.
- However, some of you have insisted (and we're so grateful) - so we attempted to put our registry together here, and that's when we figured out:
- The department stores in Ireland stopped doing registries, a US based site doesn't make sense since we aren't planning to live there anytime soon, and any UK based site means you have to pay more for shipping and we'd have to pay customs tax to receive the gift (thanks, Brexit).
- On top of all that, we're sadly not going to be able to bring a KitchenAid Mixer (with the wrong plug socket) in our carry-on bags. So all of that to say...
We're going to do this the old-school way. Here's a few items that would be meaningful for us, shops based in Ireland that we love, a few international gift cards we'd appreciate, and a few bucket list items that we'd love to do eventually.
Please let us know if you have any questions - like just about every other part of our wedding, it's a bit untraditional.

Riding in a Mardi Gras Krewe
As Carinval people, it's a dream to ride in Tucks and have the best throws (plungers included!).
Dancing in a Samba Parade
We want to be in full costume, dancing, singing, and actually competing with a Samba School at the Sambodromo in Rio de Janeiro.
Travel Fund
We have aggressive travel goals for our life. We'd appreciate anything that helps us meet new people, explore nature, or experience a different culture. Bonus: you can dictate which continent we spend the money on!
The Beach House
We're saving up to eventually own a beach house (yes, you're invited!). Our little apartment in Dublin is wonderful, but we are looking forward to home-owning in constant sunshine one day.
