Thank you all so much for all of your good wishes, your love and support. Attending our wedding is an amazing gift, being in our lives, the greatest gift.

We have hemmed and hawed over how to address the registry part of our wedding. (We even were scolded by one dear friend for the paucity of our Amazon list.) We already have china, and everyday plates, a Kitchen Aid and flatware. There is little that we "need," but we will very much want a honeymoon.

To Italy it is. Nancy has never been and has wanted to go since she studied Latin in high school. James has so much more to see. We can't wait to see it all together, to eat and drink our way through the countryside, and to absorb as much art as our imaginations can believe.

With great love,
Nancy and James

Visiting the Art Cities - When Italy consisted of dozens of principalities, art treasures were concentrated in many small capitals. Although Rome, Florence, and Venice are the best known, we hope to also visit stunning collections in Assisi and Verona.
