I wonder if someone had done an Un-Registry website/service for wedding couples who feel like they have to register to please the relatives. It could have links to stuff like Heifer.Org and Kiva.org and other alternate charity stuff that the couple approve of, and let givers print out customized PDF certificates to put in an envelope to present at the ceremony, et cetera....

The status is NOT quo.
Theo, our first registry link is to the I Do Foundation, which is a charity site in lieu of gift registry. Check it out on our site--it's pretty cool! It made me all weepy to write up the reasons why we chose our two charities (American Cancer Society and Donors Choose), and I'm really glad we were able to add that option.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
By the way, would a few of you do a quick proof of the site to see if anything jumps out as confusing?
There should be live links for "LA Party/Location Info", "Northeast Celebration", "Blog", and "Registry" in the body of the page, not just along the top.

Excellent suggestion Tom, thanks. I've updated it and changed the page names to match the labels on the home page. I also just added a lot of detail on the LA page about hotel options since we have a fair number of people coming from out of town. Would someone mind checking the links for me? My brain is getting fuzzy.
ETA: Okay, going to stop usurping the thread for website craziness now. Thank you, everyone! Taking link down now.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Heh. I always wanted to be Blanche, but I think it is my destiny to be Dorothy.

Yeah, if he'd been Armenian it would have been John Belushian.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
