Hola everyone! We're really excited to gather all our friends and family in Brooklyn to celebrate our wedding day. Old friends will get to meet new friends, moms will dance with college buddies, coworkers will flirt with cousins, distant relatives will mingle, and in the end our world will have grown that much closer. Being with us for the big day is the best gift you can give us!

And after the whirlwind of our wedding, we're also excited to escape to Mexico! While we can't invite you to join us south of the border, we do invite you to help make the trip extra special by giving us the gift of a meal in Oaxaca, or a night in a beach hut in Yelapa, or any one of the honeymoon gifts listed below. Then we'll be thinking of you when we raise our margaritas to the Mexican sunset.

Muchas gracias!
xoxo
Liz & Zeph

[Update December 2010] Thanks to everyone who contributed to our honeymoon fund! We had an amazing time. Our Traveler's Joy account will remain open for awhile if you still wish to give us the gift of travel. And you can check out our honeymoon photos on our wedding website.

We're going to Puerto Vallarta, Yelapa & Oaxaca, Mexico!

We'll start our honeymoon in Puerto Vallarta for two nights of luxurious relaxation. From there we sail across Banderas Bay to the rustic fishing village of Yelapa for a few days of beach front dining, sunning and hammock swinging. After that, we travel southeast to Oaxaca, home of Mexico's finest cuisine. We'll be taking cooking classes and staying at a lovingly restored 19th-century mansion in the foothills of the Sierra Madre.
