We are so excited to be getting married in September - and we are so grateful to have all of you as part of your lives. We are hoping that all of you who will be able to join us at the wedding will have a great time!

As we are starting a life together - we are enjoying blending our homes together, but realize that we do have pretty full households with Kyle, Grayson, Harry, and myself and all of our stuff.

So, while reading a few bridal magazines (OK- I admit I have developed a serious addiction to bridal magazines-who knew?)..I came upon the idea of the honeymoon registry. We love to travel, and we really treasure our time together - so it seems like a good match for us.

We're going to Negril, Jamaica!

Seven Mile Beach - Where or where should we go in Jamaica? A seven mile beach?

As Kyle may tell you- moved the wedding up a bit from our original thought of next spring to September...so we have had more than a few decisions to make in about 6 months. So we decided to spend our honeymoon in a low key place where we could be near the beach and the water that we both enjoy so much..And even better - we can leave in the morning and be having frozen drinks on the beach before dinner.

Trying to find the right place for our honeymoon, we kept looking and looking (once again that is Karen...) and then stumbled upon this great small hotel along the very popular seven mile beach to spend our time with privacy when we want it, but so close to all the activities we want as well.

The wedding weekend will be so great with all of you - we are hoping some of you can join us for a Nationals baseball game on Thursday, for drinks on Friday, and then the wedding on Saturday..... I am sure we will be talking about our great wedding weekend, telling stories and looking at pictures for a long time. And as for the honeymoon....

We'll be flying from DC to Montego Bay Jamaica, and taking a brief ride to Negril- which is supposed to have the best beaches in Jamaica. Our small hotel is along the popular seven mile beach, but hidden away behind some lush greenery. It is a small hotel and a collection of little "villas" like ours - We will be sleeping in a canopied mahogany bed...and waking up in the morning to walk out on the beach:)

While we'll be spending a more than a little time lazing around the beach and the pool, there are a few other things we plan to do -
We are really looking forward to walking up the beach for drinks at Margaritaville....
We'd love to explore the local market - to find some spices and coffee to bring back for some great memories when we get home. And since we both love the water so much- we are planning to go snorkeling and for a for a sunset cruise for a little romance.....
