The short answer is, we don't have a wedding registry. The long answer? We have everything we need with the exception of a clothes dryer (if you want to buy that please call us now) and perhaps another bookshelf (Morgan is a history and English major, Sarah is a statistics and marine biology major turned banker, there's a variety of large, heavy books in the house).
But back to being serious, the couple has all that they need for everyday living. They own their furniture (it's real, and actually quite comfortable), have all the dishes and cooking utensils they could possibly need (even a broiling pan), as well as a brand new mattress, with box-spring and frame. There's honestly not a single household item (apart the from the clothes dryer) that the couple plans to purchase in the near future.
So what's a friend or relative who wants to contribute to the young couples new life together to do? Honestly the best thing would be to contribute to the wedding fund. If sending the couple a check or cash just feels insincere, then there are certainly several facets of the wedding that could be financed. The couple's wedding budget was hurt by the car accident, so extras like catering, a DJ, flowers, and a honeymoon might go by the wayside. If you would like to help the couple, a contribution to the wedding fund will help make the event all the more memorable.

Do you have a charity you two like, too?
