Wedding Registries

We are registering for gifts with Oxfam UK, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Amazon.com, and Scottish Love in Action. Click on their names to be taken to the individual registries.

Oxfam UK

This is one registry that we are very excited about. Did you ever look at (either or both of) us and think, "Boy, those guys really need a donkey?" Well, now you can give us a donkey, or a goat, or textbooks for 50 kids in Africa thanks to the wonderful folks at Oxfam UK.

Americans can buy off this list using their credit cards (and be billed at whatever today's exchange rate is). We decided to go with Oxfam UK only because we think the individual "things" you can donate make it more fun.

Bed, Bath & Beyond!

Don't want to buy us a bed, a bath, or even a beyond? Well, it turns out these guys sell lots of other stuff too.

Listed here is fun stuff for our kitchen, including china, and for our home in general.

Amazon.com

And for everything that's beyond Bed, Bath & Beyond ... there's Amazon.com. Zoa particularly hopes someone will buy her the kitty jungle gym.

Scottish Love In Action

The flowers for our wedding will be done by Robert's aunt, Gillie Davidson, as a fundraiser for Scottish Love In Action -- a Scottish charity which works to feed, house and educate Dalit (or "untouchable" or "outcast") children in India.

As well as being excited about getting the benefit of Gillie's considerable talents as a florist, we would be very keen to see our guests donate to SLA instead of getting us those toaster-tongs you were thinking about.
