YEAH, BABY
Oh, boy, here we go.
Two years after you helped us celebrate getting hitched, we're now celebrating a baby boy, due mid-December 🍼
Whether you're headed to our baby shower or you simply wanted the link to our registry: thank you so much! Your love and support mean the world to us.
-Ryan, Jamie & Baby "Fortitto"
(He'll be a Fortier... it's just fun to say Fortitto! Try it!)

Registry*
Note for Chicago Shower:
We are traveling by plane; we appreciate gifts through the registry mailed to our home.
Note for All:
We value item re-use. If you find a Registry item that is "Used in Good Condition" (via Facebook Marketplace, Mercari, Goodwill or your local Thrift Stores, etc.), or if you own a quality hand-me-down, we are happy to accept.

Book Registry
We value childhood reading. We'd love to receive books that you remember from your own childhood, or that you loved reading to your (grand)child.
WARNING: Thriftbooks doesn't tell us who is sending us books 😱 Please contact us if you make a purchase so we can thank you!
To avoid repeats, please see the list of books we already own.
Note:
If you gift us a book and plan to leave a note for Argyle (Surprise! That's his name!), please keep it separate, and we'll place it inside your gift. This way, the book can be re-gifted in the future as we keep your note for a lifetime.
We value item re-use. Please opt for the link above (or your local thrift / used book store) as opposed to buying New.
We're a Little Nontraditional.
Jamie and Ryan will both be in attendance.
Co-Ed, Open House format: come and go as you please.
New to Us: quality hand-me-downs and used items happily accepted.

The Magic Lounge
A fun flashback: in September 2022, Ryan & Jamie's wedding was held at this speakeasy magic bar theater hidden behind a laundromat in downtown Chicago.
