General Information

In March 2006, Benjamin Mako Hill and Mika Matsuzaki announced to the world that they were going to get married!

You can read a public announcement of it on Mako's blog.

Gifts, Cards, and Notes

A number of people have asked about gifts. There is really no need to give us anything. Really. Mika and I have more than we need.

If people feel the need to give, we'd be happy if donations were made in our names to any of the groups we like.

However, people should definitely go ahead and send written messages of congratulations which we can save. You can send them in the form of cards or postcards. You can mail those to:
