Hello friends, family, comrades, advisors,

THE LOWDOWN
As you've all heard, our favourite couple Alex and Dan are getting MARRIED, and are celebrating their love in a most endearingly characteristic-to-them fashion:
  • tour across cities w high density of loved ones - SF, NYC, and Kaufbeuren (Germany)
  • no dress code
  • no formal festivities (INCORRECT)
  • no gifts (INCORRECT)

We, the friends of Alex and Dan, have come together to correct their too-casual ways. More specifically, we decided to start this gofundme in place of a more traditional wedding registry on their behalf, and we plan on surprising them with the results at the end of their wedding tour <3.

THE SECRET GIFT PLAN
We're thus asking you to contribute whatever you want as a wedding gift! Not only have they just gotten married, but they also just moved in together for the first time in a brand new apartment in SF, and are (somehow, miraculously) making it by on a dual-academic postdoc salary. Despite the makin' it by, wouldn't hurt to send them off into this next chapter of life with a little kick and a lot of love. Let our meager academic salaries be combined!

DETAILS
1. DO NOT TELL THEM. THIS IS A SECRET.
2. Sept 26th is the final gathering - we will gift them at this celebration, where both of their families will be.
3. Feel free to share this with anyone who you think might wanna contribute.

BONUS CONTENT

We fed ChatGPT our entire shared whatsApp conversation and this is what it has to say about the newlyweds:

Quick Analysis of the Couple's Vibe (based on the chat):
Your friends are:
  • Deeply in love but also deeply unserious in the best way
  • Constantly roasting each other, but with huge warmth
  • Emotionally close, intellectually playful, and just slightly chaotic
  • The kind of couple that will grind as much as they will party; loved by anyone who meets them

Their style is:
  • Part wholesome intimacy (“my wife!”)
  • Part feral group chat energy (voice notes, food poisoning, death threats re: trousers)
  • In short: rom-com meets group chat meets softcore cult
