REGISTRY
Your presence is the only present we desire. But if you wish to give a gift, we created a registry with items we'd find most useful moving forward into our marriage:
WEDDING PARTY
Celina is Amanda's sister and lifelong best friend. She has always been there for Amanda, looking out for her best interests. They tell the same jokes, sound the same on the phone, and were even mistaken as twins when they were toddlers. Now as adults they've found an even deeper friendship to cherish!
Melissa was the first person Amanda met when she moved to Oroville. Hired from a Craigslist add to teach at her new yoga studio, they quickly became close friends. Melissa is one of the kindest, most accepting persons; Amanda appreciates being able to talk to her about anything!
Aimee and Amanda have connected over the years through traveling and music, across the US and even to Mexico and Spain! They've laughed until the sun comes up on many nights and her home is a second home to Amanda. It is Aimee's humor and honesty that Amanda admires most.
When first meeting Jessica, Amanda spotted the same warm, friendly nature she shares with her brother, Jeremy. Amanda has always felt accepted around Jessica as a friend and a sister. Her fondest memories are from their travels and open, vulnerable conversations that get to the heart of things.
Kali and Amanda first bonded while working together in California and that bond has lasted a decade. Amanda appreciates Kali's empathic nature as well as her propensity for the good times! They have also enjoyed many sunrises together and Amanda looks forward to many more!
Josh is Jeremy's fraternal twin brother. He's always been there for Jeremy, day or night, at times having to play the older brother role (he is 1.5 hours older). They are also best friends, have enjoyed many concerts and trips together, but most of all they strive to share their birthday each year.
Jeremy met Dustin through happenstance and because of a shared love of live music. Their friendship, going on almost two decades, has evolved into becoming best friends. After all, Dustin's spare bedroom is Jeremy's address one month out of the year.
Jason and Jeremy began their friendship directly after high school and became the best of friends in early adulthood. They have a strong bond due to many shared experiences, including a near death experience. He has always been a reliable friend.
Joe is Jeremy's oldest friend as they've known each other since the fourth grade. Although there was a decade where they lost contact, they've reunited, picking up where they left off. Joe is a very positive person, always laughing and seeing the silver lining, which Jeremy appreciates.
Colby is credited for sparking Jeremy's pursuit of yoga. Their friendship began in high school and continued over the years as they both moved to the West Coast around the same time. The two can talk about anything, but tend to discuss social and cultural issues.

This Is Us
IN AMANDA'S WORDS
AMANDA
Through my twenties I was eager to explore, moving from my home state of Texas to the east coast, then the west coast, with a stop in Austin in between. It was there, 10 years ago, that I first met Jeremy. Our connection was instant, as if we'd already been friends for years, and this friendship remains as the strong foundation of our relationship today. Over the years we've journeyed through many turns and forks in our road, only to deepen our trust and love for one another. What I love most about Jeremy is his ability to challenge me while also allowing space for growth; I'm thankful to have an introspective partner to evolve with in this lifetime. Finally, I get to marry the love of my life, surrounded by all of you who we love so dearly!
IN JEREMY'S WORDS
JEREMY
When first meeting Amanda while working at the same yoga studio in Austin, I was instantly struck by her beautiful smile and fun-loving personality. Over the years we've shared many interests, including yoga, food and travel, and what started as a friendship eventually developed into a deep love. Although at one point neither of us felt marriage was necessary, with age and maturity I realized commitment is something to be celebrated. After a wonderful sushi dinner (her favorite cuisine) in San Francisco (her favorite city), I surprised Amanda with a proposal. So here we are and I couldn't be more excited and grateful to celebrate our love with the people we love and cherish most, our family and friends.
