Hello everyone!

First, we would like to say that your presence at our wedding is the best gift we could ask for. We are thrilled to celebrate this occasion with all our loved and dear!

As a couple, we are blessed to have everything we need to make our new home together comfortable (pots and pans aplenty!). Having said that, we decided to make all of you a part of what we are calling, "Our Trip Of A Lifetime!". We thought having our friends and family help us create an unforgettable honeymoon was a wonderful alternative to a traditional registry.

We have chosen the Czech Republic, Italy, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand for countries to travel to. We will be sending our Thank You cards after we return. Thank you so much for helping us create these new memories together, ones we will cherish always.
