Before we get all into this business: Your presence at the wedding alone is a gift to us. Many of you are shouldering expensive travel and hotel costs to be there, and we deeply appreciate that. However, there have been inquiries as to where we are registered so here are ze deets.
Faux-pas: noun, plural faux pas
a slip or blunder in etiquette, manners, or conduct; an embarrassing social blunder or indiscretion.
Like the time I slapped a complete stranger on the ass at the company Christmas party, thinking it was my dad. Being 13 and very susceptible to attacks of extreme embarrassment I feverishly prayed for spontaneous combustion and was—as you might be able to guess—denied.
Or the time Nick and I suggest money as a wedding gift.
We know that this isn’t really the thing to do at American weddings and of course understand if a check is not a gift that you are comfortable giving. Therefore we’ve also registered for desirable home goods at three places. And, let’s be honest, I love myself a salad bowl with a cute deer and a fox on it. I mean, who doesn’t?!

This should take you straight to the page we created.

Click on “Gift Registry” on the home page, then search under First Name: Jana, Last Name: Meier
VELOCITY ART & DESIGN:

Scroll all the way down and on the left side you will see “Gift Registry.” Again, sign in under my name (I am the “creator” [insert maniacal laughter here]) and also type in the date of our wedding, September 6, 2009.
Thank you.
