Gift philosophy

Your company is the greatest gift

We understand that you have committed significant resources to be with us on June 30th, and we are tremendously grateful. The greatest gift you can give is your company especially considering the wide ocean that now separates many of you from us. Thank you.

For those who would like to do more, please see below.

Please note: given our current residence in Geneva, Switzerland, we will not be accepting physical gifts for reasons of transport, storage, and import fees of greater than 10%. Thank you for understanding.

The adventure fund

When Alex proposed to Emily while vision-questing (aka, jogging) on a colorful hill in Valparaiso, Chile, he asked her if she would be his adventure partner for life (and she said, "Yes," duh!). Adventuring is our passion and ingrained in our identities. As of January 2018, we have embarked upon a new adventure in Geneva, Switzerland where we expect to be living for the next few years. We hope Geneva will serve as a base for many exciting adventures in Europe and beyond. As such, contributions to our adventure fund would be very welcome. You can contribute in person or online at The Greechers' Adventure Fund.

Giving back FUND

The wedding will be a tremendous celebration for us and our community, but we also recognize that our community is interconnected with many others. In the spirit of sharing our good fortune and happiness, we would like to contribute to a few of our favorite charities, a symbolic act dedicating our partnership to a purpose beyond just the two of us. If you feel moved, you can donate to our giving back fund, and we will in turn make donations to such organizations as GiveDirectly, Uprose, Against Malaria Foundation, among others. You can contribute in person or online at The Greechers' Giving Back Fund.
