The Wedding

Please post all the information pertaining to Annie and Jon's wedding plans here.

Annie and Jon's wedding plans.....
this particular thread makes my heart hurt......

I find it somewhat interesting that these 2 are getting married while being grad students in different universities (she was a 3rd year doctoral student, which meant quite a few more years to go).

I guess they didn't plan to live together immediately after marriage? Or perhaps her fiance already has a job lined up in CT?

One of my friends did her post doc at Yale and commuted to NYC. He's at Columbia -- not around the corner, but not that difficult.

They had no way of knowing what the future would bring when the couple signed up for a gift registry on WeddingChannel.com.

But they dreamed.

And they did what young couples usually do.

They selected a store, Macy's. They picked the silverware, towels and the bed linens. They picked out a vacuum cleaner, a sewing machine and a colorful gravy boat.

And they did something special. They also selected a charity - the I Have a Dream Foundation, which works to guarantee that all children can pursue a higher education - from a list of more than 100 compiled by WeddingChannel.com and a second, Washington, D.C.-based group called the I Do Foundation, which links engaged couples to charities.
The couple's gift registry, a hopeful sign of the future they wanted together - and should have had - was still online Monday.

^^I was just coming to post this. I hope that the charity they chose benefits from this publicity-in her name.

I feel so, so bad for Annie's husband to be. I just can't imagine.
