Jenny and Dom - May 29, 2005


Registry

The one gift that we both want is a cure for breast cancer or a way to make Jenny’s aggressive cancer go into remission. We know that if it was possible through the love and prayer of our friends and family, Jenny would already have been healed a long time ago. We also sincerely mean it when we say that the only other gift that we are looking for is the presence of our friends and family at our wedding. The wedding weekend is meant to be a life celebration and an opportunity to see our loved ones.

We know that not everyone can come to the wedding. So, wherever you are on Sunday, May 29, we will be happy if the only thing you send is your best wishes, healing thoughts, and continued daily prayers for Jenny’s recovery. This gift is extremely valuable to the both of us since it is really tough fighting cancer. We also know that Jenny would not be doing as well physically, mentally, and spiritually if it not for the daily support of our friends.

For those of you who really want to give us a gift. We do not have a traditional registry because we simply do not need more "stuff." We hope you can understand since Jenny often feels cluttered at home and would not know where to put more things. Our registry is simply a list of things that we think might help us enjoy life more when Jenny is feeling well enough.

  • Flights/hotel from frequent flier miles
    We are hoping to do some traveling since there is lot of the world that Jenny has not seen.
  • Restaurant gift certificates
    We love to enjoy delicious food and good company where Dom doesn't have to clean up afterwards.
  • Movie tickets
    We love to watch movies. Did you know Dom was almost a film major?
  • Handiwork/crafts/artwork made by you
    We love original pieces made by our friends.
  • Pictures
    Did you take pictures of us and they look decent? Are you in those pictures? Well good, we need more of those!
  • Gift certificate to Michael's arts and craft store
    We have some artwork that we would love to frame and hang up.
  • Art supplies
    Jenny is thinking about painting during her spare time. Do you have an old easel or paints that she can use for practice?
  • Subscription to People magazine
    Jenny likes to read it during chemo, Dom is known to read it too, though he denies it.
  • Homecooked meals
    We will love anything that you cook and promise to return the Tupperware.
  • Cooking lessons
    Jenny loves to cook and would love to learn more dishes from you.
  • Fresh fruit
    Fruit is full of antioxidants and Jenny needs to eat more of it. Some companies offer a monthly delivery of different fruits.
  • Plants
    We love plants! Indoors or outdoors. Medium or low light does best inside.
  • Kennedy Center tickets
    We love the theatre, ballet, opera, musicals, anything that involves looking nice and watching people on a stage.
  • Shakespeare Theatre tickets
    Kind of like above plus the added bonus of hearing people say thee, thoust, and arse.
  • Nationals or Orioles tickets
    We love baseball!
  • NC State tickets
    Go Wolfpack!
  • A Day with Jenny
    Jenny would love it if you spent a day with her during the week going to museums, shopping, and exploring DC.

These are just a few ideas from us. As with these or any gifts, please find bargains, use coupons, and shop sales to guarantee the lowest price possible. Because as we all know, that is exactly how Jenny would do it!
