Our registry
tHANK YOU FOR LOVING US.
We're truly grateful for the support from everyone as we embark on this new chapter. Whether you're traveled to Mexico City, DC or New York for our wedding events or sent us sweet messages of encouragement, your love means the world to us. Thank you for being there for us during this special time and beyond.
We've curated a registry that reflects our shared values and aspirations as a couple, giving you a glimpse into our journey ahead - and the tangible areas we are looking to invest in after the wedding. And we're sincerely grateful for your support in shaping our future together. Thank you for being a part of this meaningful journey with us.

Couples Counseling
Nurturing our bond is our utmost priority, and your kindness holds profound significance for us. Throughout our transition into this new chapter together, we aim to engage in monthly couples counseling sessions during our first year of marriage. Your contribution will directly support this endeavor.
Family Planning
In today's world, many people face fertility challenges, and since we're eager to expand our family soon we want to be mindful about the costs of trying to have a baby. This fund will help us cover the expenses of fertility treatments.
Name Change
Asiah will be incorporating 'Cannon' into her name and is eager to purchase a name change kit to streamline the process. This fund will help cover the expenses associated with updating all government and legal documents, ensuring that her new name becomes Asiah James Cannon seamlessly.
Dream Home
While planning the wedding we have simultaneously started saving for a down payment on our first home. Your contribution would mean the world to us as we take this important step toward making our dream of homeownership a reality. Any support, no matter the amount, will help us greatly.
Home
New Couch
Our trusty thrifted couch is on its last legs... quite literally! As we deliberate on the perfect replacement, we're eager to find a new couch that suits our love for hosting family and friends. Your contribution will go towards our next couch, one that we can't wait for all of you to enjoy when you visit.
New Bed
We currently share a full-size bed... Yes, you read that right, a FULL-SIZED bed! Needless to say, it's become a bit cramped and uncomfortable after the last few years. This fund will be dedicated to upgrading to a larger bed, ensuring we both get the sleep we truly deserve and so Gerald's feet can finally rest comfortably without hanging off the end.
New Mattress
Now that we're upgrading our bed, it's time to find a mattress that complements it perfectly! Your contributions will help us invest in a new mattress that provides optimal comfort and support for all the good sleep ahead of us.
New Suitcases
As we begin preparing for our journey to Mexico City, we anticipate the need for at least two suitcases each to accommodate all the essentials for our wedding weekend. Your contributions will go towards purchasing quality luggage that not only ensures a smooth travel experience to our dream wedding but also accompanies us on our adventures around the world beyond the wedding day.
Memories
Custom Photo Albums
We cherish memories from every era of our lives, and preserving the beautiful photos from our wedding will create a timeless coffee table book that we can revisit time and again. Your contributions will help us acquire multiple photo albums, ensuring that each precious moment is captured and cherished for years to come.
Custom Picture Frames
We've begun the process of printing our stunning ancestral photos for our hallway display and are now seeking unique frames to complement our wedding photos. Your contributions will be directed towards acquiring a series of large picture frames, adding a touch of elegance to our cherished memories.
Wedding Dress Preservation
Asiah has a heartfelt wish to preserve her wedding dress for her future children. However, she's discovered that ensuring its longevity requires professional cleaning and safe storage, which can be quite pricey. Your contributions will help make this dream a reality, ensuring that Asiah's dress remains a cherished heirloom for generations to come.
Bouquet Preservation
We've stumbled upon an amazing opportunity where a company can transform a selection of our wedding flowers into beautiful artwork. Your contributions will support this endeavor, allowing us to preserve the essence of our wedding weekend through stunning floral displays.

Groom’s Bike
Gerald's Citi-Bike membership falls short for our date nights, especially when we want to explore the city spontaneously for hours. Having our own set of wheels would be fantastic, allowing us to bike to the waterfront, enjoy ice cream in a different borough, and even get some exercise in Prospect Park. Your contribution will help us get Gerald his own bike for these adventures.
10 Year (Dating) Anniversary Flights
That's right, this fall marks a decade of us being together, and in celebration of this milestone, we're planning a special dating anniversary trip. Since we're fortunate enough to have a destination wedding, we'd love to make this trip equally unforgettable. Your contributions will help cover the flights for our memorable 10-year anniversary getaway.
10 Year (Dating) Anniversary Stay
For our 10-year anniversary trip, we want to stay somewhere really cool and memorable. Your contributions will help cover our accommodation costs, making our celebration extra special.
Art Studio Membership
Gerald is thrilled to broaden his creative circle in a more immersive way and gain access to a dedicated space for producing artwork outside of our home. This will provide him with accountability and opportunities to connect with fellow creatives. Your contribution will support his membership to an art studio, fostering his artistic growth and community engagement.
Date Night
Sundays are our favorite! It's when we go out for a quick bite or find something fun to do in the city together. We've been pretty busy with wedding planning lately, but now we're ready to mix things up. We're looking forward to trying out new spots in Bed-Stuy, hitting the indoor rock climbing gym, and maybe even convincing Gerald to join Asiah for a dance class!
