Dear friends and loved ones,

As many of you know, Artie and Mary are beginning a beautiful new chapter together as they prepare for their wedding and the life they are building as a family. We feel incredibly grateful to be surrounded by people who have supported, encouraged, and cared for us throughout our lives.

Because our home is small and already filled with the essentials, we’ve realized that what we need most isn’t more “stuff.” Instead, we’re hoping to invest in our future together — in the life we are building, the memories we will create, and the foundation of the family we hope to grow.

For those who have asked how they can support us, we’ve created this page as an optional way to contribute. Any funds given will go toward our wedding celebration and toward helping us build a stable and loving future together. Whether that means helping with wedding costs, supporting our first steps as a married couple, or simply giving us a little extra security as we begin this journey, every bit of generosity means more than we can say.

Please know that your presence, love, and encouragement are the greatest gifts we could receive. Contributions are completely optional, and we are simply grateful for the community around us.

If you feel moved to give, thank you for helping us invest in the future of our family. If not, we are just as thankful to have you cheering us on as we begin this new chapter.

With love and gratitude,Artie & Mary
