What’s the registry info?

Your presence is the best gift we could ask for! However, if you'd like to contribute to our future home fund, we’ve set up a Venmo for monetary gifts:
Venmo: @jessica-dy or @billyjsales

Please arrive by 2:30 PM to allow time to get seated before the ceremony begins.

I have dietary restrictions/allergies—what should I do?

Please let us know when you RSVP and we’ll make sure you have the diet you like. Otherwise you can get an allergic reaction then Nurse Billy will have to poke you with an epipen :)
