Hello Family and Friends!

As many of you know, Chris and I have been lucky enough to see some amazing places over the years. Traveling has always been important to each of us. Now, we are getting ready to take the opportunity as a married couple and we are planning a two week honeymoon to Europe!

We have reserved two romantic spots for our journey which will start a couple of months following the wedding. We will kick off these two weeks in Barcelona, where we will take our time to enjoy as much of the city as possible-by bike, foot or bus. After experiencing the beautiful sights and sounds of Barcelona, we will fly to Paris, where we'll relax and enjoy the amazing cuisine and culture. We look forward to shopping at local street markets and gathering food for picnics every day. Spending hours walking, talking and exploring the romantic city will be a pleasure.

We are a simple couple. We love being together in our cozy, little house with our sweet dogs. Having lived together for almost 3 years, we have acquired almost everything we need in order to cook a meal, make toast, or blend a milkshake. Having our friends and family help us create an unforgettable honeymoon seems like a wonderful alternative to a traditional registry. From romantic dinners to train tickets- we have listed some fun items here that we hope to experience while we are abroad. Everything is appreciated!


Having you celebrate with us in Lawrence is the greatest gift of all. Thank you for your love and support! We look forward to seeing you in May!

Sincerely,

Rachel and Chris

We're going to Barcelona and Paris!

We are so excited to experience Europe together! It was difficult to choose our destinations but we narrowed it down and we hope to see as much as possible while we are there. We are looking forward to walking all over, eating amazing food and simply spending time together!
