Hi Everyone,

We're creating a new registry because our existing registry drive ends on August 12th, 2012 - the date of our San Francisco wedding. For those attending the Michigan wedding who may have been planning to make a last minute gift, please use this charity drive.

Love,
Helen & Bill

Inspirational Message:

Here in America, it's easy to take water for granted. Turn the faucet and clean, crisp, refreshing water pours out of the nozzle at the temperature of one's choosing. It's hard to imagine living without such basic, modern day convenience. But not too long ago, we didn't have this luxury and, today, many in the world still don't.

People in America spend more than $100 billion on weddings each year. The average wedding costs more than $30,000! That's crazy!

Instead of dishes, furniture and tablecloths that we don't truly need, we're asking our wedding guests to give something that someone desperately does - access to clean water. Consider this our wedding registry. With just $5,000, we can fund a clean water project for an entire village.

At charity: water 100% of donations go to projects. Operating costs are covered by private donors, so you know your money is getting put to good use.

We're blessed to have such great friends and family. We can't wait to spend our lives together and we'd want to kick-off the future by sharing our blessings with others.

Please join us!
