Welcome

We're looking forward to sharing our joy with all of you. We hope you'll be able to join us.

Events

Our ceremony will be held at the Gran Centurions, in Clark, New Jersey, at 1:00 P.M. on Sunday, July 2. A cocktail hour and reception will follow immediately. The reception will probably run until about 6:00 or 7:00 P.M.

We will host a combined bachelor/bachelorette party the evening before, for those of you who come into town on Saturday. It will be held at the Metuchen First Aid Squad Hall between 8:00 P.M. and 11:00 P.M. on Saturday, July 1. Dress will be casual. Jeans are fine.

Accommodations

We have reserved a block of rooms at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, also in Clark, New Jersey. Rooms are available for the nights of July 1 and July 2 at a wedding rate of $99 per night (plus taxes). The reservations and rates aren't guaranteed unless you reserve by June 10. The hotel's phone number is (732) 574-0100. Be sure to mention the "Grimmelmann Black wedding" when calling to reserve.

Registry

We are registered through a wonderful organization called the I Do Foundation. Their site allows donations in our name to be made to three charities we've selected:

  • Doctors Without Borders provides emergency medical care worldwide to people caught up in disasters and conflicts.
  • Heifer International gives livestock to poor communities and helps them rebuild self-sufficient agriculture.
  • The Rainforest Alliance protects ecosystems by developing responsible, creative, and economically sustainable forms of conservation.
If you enter our names at the I Do Foundation, you can also click on a link to Amazon.com. Amazon will make a donation to our chosen charities for any purchases of items off our registry there -- but only if you connect through the I Do Foundation. We are also registered at Bed, Bath, and Beyond if you prefer to visit a real-world store.
