Hello to all you lovely people who have managed to find your way here.
First off, Mark and I would like to make it clear that we absolutely do not expect presents from anyone. It's obviously not why we're getting married - if it was, we probably would have done this years ago...! :-D
However, several lovely and generous people have enquired about a gift list, so we've tried to set something up here. We decided we don't want to go down the established route (what a surprise, eh?) of selecting specific items all from one place, which seemed quite limiting and probably overpriced! We would rather just give you an idea of the sorts of things we might need or want for our new home together, but let you shop around and hopefully add something of yourselves to the gift. Not literally - that would be icky...

Of course I know there are plenty of imaginative and creative types amongst you, so if you'd rather find/do/create something completely different and personal, that would be fantastic too!
We would also be extremely grateful for anyone who wanted to eschew a gift in favour of a charity donation, to consider giving to one or more of our preferred charities (which I'll write more about on the list).
Many thanks again to anyone who is happy to help us out in this way - we're very grateful to have you be a part of our celebration, and look forward to seeing you all soon.
Much love,
Marianne and Mark.
Well done with setting this up in no time at all! Go, Marianne!
