Hello and welcome to our registry!
We are so excited to be getting married and hope to see you on our wedding day! We are looking forward to our wedding and reception, to be held at the Gramercy Mansion Carriage House on September 28, 2013, in the Baltimore area. It will be wonderful to have our family and friends there for our very special day.
As for gifts, the greatest gift you could give us is your presence. So please do not feel obligated to give us a wedding gift. We are happy you are part of our lives and the pleasure of your company on our wedding day is the best gift you could give us.
When we started looking into the options for a gift registry, we realized that we already own most of the household items normally listed on a wedding gift registry. So when we heard about the concept of the "honeymoon registry" we thought it was a great idea. We both love to travel and the memories of our honeymoon will always be with us.
Here's how it works. We've already planned and booked our honeymoon in Greece thanks to the folks at Asimina Tours, who specialize in putting together travel packages to Greece. Traveler's Joy allows us to post our itinerary including any activities planned for our destination. The items are broken down into "gift increments", so you can look and choose how you'd like your gift applied. We will receive the information about your gift from Traveler's Joy, so we'll be able to acknowledge your gift, and then they will forward your gift to us, to be applied towards our trip cost.
Again thanks for visiting our registry, and we hope to see you on September 28th in Baltimore!
We're going to Greece! Athens, Crete, and Santorini!
We are going to Greece!
Modern Greece traces its roots to the civilization of Ancient Greece, generally considered the cradle of Western civilization. It is the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, the Olympic Games, Western literature, political science, major scientific and mathematical principles, and Western drama.
We will begin our honeymoon in Athens, where the highlight will be a guided walking tour of the ancient Acropolis. We expect to enjoy spectacular views from the Parthenon, which crowns the Acropolis. While in Athens we also hope to wander the streets of the Plaka (a village within the city and the oldest neighborhood in Athens) and soak in the atmosphere of ancient Athens.
We will then fly from Athens to Crete. Crete is the largest and most populous of the Greek islands and it was once the center of the Minoan civilization (c. 2700–1420 BC), which is currently regarded as the earliest recorded civilization in Europe. We will begin our stay in Crete in the town of Chania, a old Venetian port town, which is considered one of the most beautiful cities of Greece and the most picturesque city of Crete. From Chania we will rent a car and drive to our next destination in Crete, the town of Rethymno. Rethymno is also an old Venetian port town. We will be staying in the heart of the old town, within strolling distance of shops, bars and waterside restaurants – near the atmospheric old harbor front. From there we will use our rental car to explore the nearby Cretan countryside and the beaches.
After five days in Crete, we will take a high-speed hydrofoil boat to our next destination, the beautiful island of Santorini! Many people regard Santorini as the most beautiful and romantic place on earth - the perfect place to wind down our honeymoon! Romance and relaxation will be the theme for us here. This will truly be a "once in a lifetime" romantic splurge, as we will be staying near the cliffside town of Fira, in a honeymoon suite with a private balcony facing the caldera (volcano), the water and the spectacular sunset.
We can't begin to tell you how excited we are about this trip!
