Our thoughts on wedding gifts

This feels like a rather pretentious thing to be writing about, but Dave and I do have some thoughts about wedding gifts and registries. We feel that since we already own the basic items that people - who perhaps haven't been living on their own- would register for, we began to think outside the traditional Registry box. 

We have struck a golden idea! We are dreaming of clearing (some of) our 32 acres of beautiful rolling woodlands to build our "Forever House" in southern New Hampshire in the not so distant future. What could be more wonderful than to watch a young apple orchard bloom alongside our marriage and family?! Our thoughts exactly! So, if you wish to help us build this orchard we would be delighted! We will, when the time comes, plant your young apple tree on our property reminding and surrounding us daily of your love and support. 

We have already purchased the first two trees, which will make up our altar at the ceremony!  I have learned that apple trees need a different type of apple tree with which to cross-pollinate; they cannot bloom on their own. I think this fact is incredibly symbolic of the union of two people coming together in marriage; represented by two young trees that actually need each other. It is terribly sweet. 

Since the land is not yet cleared and the nursery I've spoken with recommends a spring planting-it seems as if gift certificates to a nursery would be the most logical choice. To make it easy I will recommend one nursery: Miller Nurseries out of NY. They will provide shipping service when it is time to plant the trees. I will post a link to their website under the "Things we Love" section.
