Welcome to our Wedding Registry.

We want to keep things as simple and honest as possible. We love experiences. It's one of the beliefs that brought us together and keeps us happy. We're hoping that our honeymoon will be our most meaningful and amazing experience yet. Meaningful because you all helped us make it happen. And amazing because we're planning to spend at least a month travelling the WORLD in the Fall of 2012!

For those of you who were hoping to give us a physical gift, we hope you will understand how much a trip like this will mean to us. Besides, have you seen our apartment? We don't have room for anything besides additional memories!

Sincerely,

Laura & Justin
