“We’re so thrilled that so many of you are going to be attending our wedding—the greatest gift you can give us is your presence and support on the day of our wedding. We also understand that some people would like to give us more tangible gifts, so we’ve created registries of things that we think might fit into our tiny apartment. So many of you are traveling so far, and New York is expensive for everyone—no one should feel that getting us anything is at all necessary.”
