When it came time for Armand Lebrilla and Stephanie Cuellar to compile their wedding registry, their first thought was, “We don’t need any of this stuff.”
After living together in a Los Angeles apartment for a year before their August 2018 wedding, they realized they already owned all the trappings that make up a typical wedding registry: dinnerware, towels, cutting boards. What they didn’t have, though, was their own home to shelter the goods. So they created an account with Honeyfund, a registry site designed to help couples fundraise for their honeymoon. But instead of requesting cash for a lavish vacation, Lebrilla, 31, and Cuellar, 32, said the money would go toward a down payment on their first home together.
