I know you're all dying to buy Korinne and me presents. Some of our married friends might object to this, given the average of maybe two years it has taken for us to buy wedding gifts. But I think we're pretty much caught up, so we feel ok to give you our wedding registry information. For traditional wedding gift items (e.g., housewares...um, I can't think of any other examples), we are registered at Willams Sonoma and Pottery Barn. Presumably you can go to the registry portions of their websites and search for our names. I'm assuming their websites are as follows:
http://www.williamssonoma.com/
http://www.potterybarn.com/
Since we live in a typical New York City apartment, we don't have room for a lot of stuff that we won't ever use, so we kept it to the essentials (i.e., upgrading from whatever Ikea nonsense we've had for the last several years). As such, we have decided to use one of these newfangled honeymoon gift websites, on which you can go to the website and gift us things like dinners, massages, snorkeling trips, etc. This seems more fun anyway. Here's the link for our Honeyfund list, with options for the remainder of our Caribbean adventure:

We thank you all in advance for the kind gifts. And apologize if you didn't get a gift from us until you already had your third kid.

Attire Recommendations
GUEST BLOGGER ALERT!
Sorry, I know that's lame. We're such bloggers, right? Anyway, Korinne is the best person to describe what you should wear to the Friday evening welcome drinks and the wedding ceremony/reception. Without further ado, I will turn it over to my lovely future wife:
Attire Recommendations
Lots of questions on what to wear to the wedding, so here goes… We’ve decided to skip all the vague dress code references like beach chic and resort wear and be a bit more straightforward for everyone.
For the welcome reception on Friday evening, women could wear sundresses or pants and a top. The Friday reception will not be on the beach so any shoes work – heels, strappy sandals or flats. Men could wear khaki or linen pants and a polo or button down shirt, either short or long sleeved. For shoes, we recommend loafers, boat shoes or something similar, instead of flip-flops.
For the most part, the same attire is recommended for the wedding on Saturday. Women could wear sundresses; however, we will be on the beach so wear a flat sandal instead of heels. For men, the same attire worn to the welcome reception works for the wedding, but a sandal or flip-flop is fine to wear. No jacket or tie needs to be worn to either event.
The temperature is in the mid-70s in the evenings, but there is always an ocean breeze. You won’t be chilly at night, but you also won’t be warm in a long sleeved shirt or pants.
If you have any other questions on type of clothes to pack, feel free to email Korinne (kkubena@gmail.com) who has much more insight on this topic.
