Angel & David

October 9, 2015

Dave and I already have everything we really need, and the only thing we really want is to make beautiful memories together from now forward. What could be more perfect for us than a honeymoon registry?

Tokyo is the mecca of animation and games, where every nerd's dream can come true. While I have spent copious amounts of time in Tokyo, Dave has never been - but it's right at the top of his bucket list for places to visit. What could be better for us than to explore this beautiful city together - there's always new things to see!

We both want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts - whether or not you can come to the wedding - for the outpouring of warmth and support that you are giving us during this very special time in our lives. We look forward to seeing you at the wedding!

PS: We will be updating Facebook with photos and sending out thank you cards as soon as possible. :)

We're going to Tokyo, Japan!

Bright lights, big city!

One word: catmallows. What is a cat mallow? A marshmallow that is shaped like a cat, and melts in your morning coffee. We would like to have some delivered to our hotel upon arrival, and then take them home with us!

We're going to be taking the train to get around, so we'll need to fill up our train passes when we get to Narita. They are pretty handy little cards we'll be scanning to get on and off the train. No tickets involved!

Japan is well known for having something that went out of style in the west when we were still kids - gigantic, multi-story arcades. We want to relive our childhood, and collect cheap ugly toys (or, more than likely, give them to kids instead).
