I got more rooms added to the wedding block! If you want to be a part of the wedding block rate you have until the 29th of September to make your reservations. Let me know if there are any problems; ledfordca@vcu.edu

We have an online registry which allows access to a variety of stores and registries. Its at www.MyRegistry.com. You should be able to find our registry by looking us up by our names, Christina Ledford/Brendan Artz and the visitor password is BMA10cal  

We additionally have the registry linked to a paypal account so if nothing on the registry seems exciting you can financially aid us! 

Please let us know if there are any issues with the registry so we can make certain to update it as needed! Thanks!
