Halo our wonderful and amazing friends and family!

You've been asking where we're registered, what we want, where we're going for our honeymoon.... well, this is it! More information then you probably ever needed to know about how we're going to spend 2.5 weeks in September.

However, what we ACTUALLY get to do is pretty much up to you. We've put options below and your choices will decide how we spend our days.

If you wish to be a part of our honeymoon just select the specific item you want us to enjoy and we promise to take a picture of us doing, eating, sleeping or otherwise relishing your gift and share it with you upon our return!

If you just can't decide... there's a general financial gift towards it at the bottom that we will use towards hotels, food and transport. It's right above the option for high rollers.

We're going to London and Italy!

London - Jolly Good!

Well, here's the update... Thanks to an unexpected & ridiculously generous gift, we've booked our flights and 6 nights of hotels - and we're going to Italy via London! Wow! We've got 3 days in London to show Alex Melle's old stomping ground and we're having a bridal luncheon at Covent Garden with Melle's friends. After sightseeing, friend seeing and clubbing, we're off to Italy!

Italy - That's Amore!

Our trip is now going to start off in Rome and work our way up to Venice. After 5 days in Rome we'll pop down to Naples then after stopping off at the ruins of Pompeii, we're going to chill in a villa on the Amalfi Coast in the vacation spot for other rich and famous people, Positano... We even got a day trip to Capri planned. It's been purchased via check, so you won't see it 'fulfilled' down below, but it is! Yea! After beaching it we're going to hopefully have time to hit up Florence for some Opera and then we fly out of Venice, like true Venetians, and return to our beach here in Venice.

If any of you have been to these places, we're always up for suggestions!
