Ellen and John

As a few talented guys from Liverpool once put it, “All you need is love”. We’ve got love in spades - from our family and friends to the love we have for one another, we could not feel more happy and blessed. One of the most important lessons we’ve learned from our parents, family, friends and our relationship is that the best way to show and celebrate love is through giving back to others.

As most of you know, we started a relationship with Developmental Disabilities Institute (DDI) six years ago, right around the time we started our relationship with each other.  From walks across Long Island to New Year's Eve hikes, our connection we DDI has given us a chance to see the life changing impact the organization has on children and adults with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). In lieu of gifts for our wedding, we’re hopeful that you’ll consider making a donation to DDI.  All funds raised will support the purchase of Google Expeditions kits, which will allow adults in DDI's Adult Day Program to have experiences and adventures that might otherwise not have been possible.
