Hi everyone!

Thanks so much for being a part of our lives, and our wedding. We're so excited to be getting married, and to share that experience with all of you.

And of course, we are really looking forward to the honeymoon!

So, where to register for the wedding? That was the big question. Both of us really wanted something that was uniquely us, that reflects who we are and what we love to do. Something that would create lasting memories for us, things we can tell our grandchildren about.

As world travelers (and budget-challenged ones, at that), we were so excited to find out we could actually register for our honeymoon. How cool is that?

Your gift will really be the gift of a lifetime! What could be better than helping us create one of the most magical times in our life together? We really like the idea of that a lot more than a new gravy boat.

We are really just happy to have your love and support. But if you do want to send us a gift for the wedding, this is the best possible thing!

Thanks again for being in our lives, and sharing in this happy occasion. Oh, and we hope you like our little movie, which we filmed at the Berkeley Rose Garden, where Sam proposed to Erin.

We're going to Ireland!!

We're going to Ireland!

For both of us, it was the destination of our first European travels, way before we'd ever met, and neither of us have been back since. Now we'll get to share our love of Eire with each other.

Relaxation and adventure is the name of the game. We'll be renting a car to drive throughout the country, taking in the culture and the countryside, staying wherever we want, when we want. No set plans, other than our first night - spent in luxury at an Irish castle!

Help us make our romantic Ireland dream adventure come true - we've picked out a lot of stuff we're excited about, as well as a few "wild card" gifts if nothing strikes your fancy. It'll be all pubs and country inns and castles and beautiful, rolling green hillsides and seascapes of staggering beauty. We can hardly wait!

We'll spend our first night at a five star hotel, in a renovated mansion. The word "posh" was invented for places like this. Champagne and rose petals will greet us, along with a romantic bath for two, candlelit dinner, and breakfast in bed.

We'll be itching to get to the countryside, but why not take in a wonderful tour of Dublin before we head off into the wild Irish countryside?

You're in Dublin. What do you do? One word: Guinness! Let's have a few rounds over stew and some great live music.

We'll be staying at gorgeous little B&Bs as we make our way through Ireland. The advantage is that they're very economical compared to hotels, and also offer a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Help us stay in the best ones on our way!

Erin and Sam want to surprise each other by each planning a romantic adventure for the other during the trip. But the level of adventure really depends on how much they have to spend! Help make the surprise really spectacular.

We love our B&Bs, but it would be awfully nice to stay in a castle or posh hotel another night along the way!

After a lot of time on the road, we're sure to need a really good massage, and a relaxing day at the spa. This would be the "relaxation" portion of the honeymoon. ;)
