Hi everyone!

First off, we would like to say that your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for. The time, effort, and expense of traveling to be with us is something we deeply appreciate in our hearts, and we are so thrilled that we will be able to celebrate this happy occasion with you.

We have been blessed to have a lot of the "essential" home items a newly engaged couple needs. We hope you find this registry as a way to help us make our perfect honeymoon come true! While we have taken many exciting trips together, we are very much looking forward to our first real adventure as a married couple. It is because of the lifetime of memories we will gain from this trip that we finally settled on a honeymoon registry. We greatly appreciate and will fondly remember these gifts for years to come. After all, the memories from this honeymoon will last a lot longer than a new set of wine glasses.

We will do our best to document our experience via photo and include it in your much-deserved "thank you" note.

Thanks again and we can't wait to see you at the wedding - or earlier!

We're going to Italy!

For us, the honeymoon of our dreams is about creating unforgettable memories together, savoring new experiences, and embarking on an adventure that will last a lifetime. We are planning to spend 3.5 weeks exploring Italy. While we are still in the process of planning all the details, we are excited to share some of the destinations that we can't wait to visit.

4 days (5 nights) in Venice: Romantic canals, historic architecture, and timeless allure.
1 day in Verona: A day trip to Verona on our way to Lake Como to enjoy the charming city with well-preserved Roman and medieval structures.
2 days (3 nights) in Lake Como: Nestled in the Italian Alps, Lake Como is renowned for its stunning scenery, picturesque villages, and elegant villas.
1 day in Milan: A day trip to Milan on our way to Florence to enjoy iconic landmarks like the impressive Milan Cathedral and Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper."
6 days (7 nights) in Florence: The birthplace of the Renaissance, known for its art, architecture, and culture. Includes day trips to additional areas of Tuscany and the surrounding regions: Cinque Terre, Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Lucca, Chianti, Montepulciano, Pienze, and Montalcino. Rolling vineyards, rustic charm, and exquisite wines.
1 day in Naples: a vibrant city in southern Italy, known for its rich history, being the birthplace of pizza, and home to the renowned National Archaeological Museum.
3 days (4 nights) in The Amalfi Coast: Breathtaking coastal beauty, charming villages, and culinary delights.
1 day in Pompeii & Herculaneum: A journey back in time to the ancient ruins frozen in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius.
5 days (6 nights) in Rome: The Eternal City, where history comes to life at every turn.

The memories we create on this journey will be treasured forever, and we can't wait to share our experiences with you when we return.
