Registry for Alexandria Galvan & Vincent Maurer

Alexandria Galvan & Vincent Maurer

EDIT: Thanks to everyone who made my surprise honeymoon gift to Vincent possible! Europe was awesome! Will post more about it later~ Alexandria

Welcome!

Our wedding will be held at the Boise Train Depot in Boise, ID on Saturday, October 10th, 2009, beginning at 4:30. All events will take place at the Train Depot and public parking is available. After the ceremony, snacks and drinks will be served while the bridal party takes photos, and then a dinner buffet and merriment will follow!

Sunday morning we intend to have a 10am brunch at our hotel where those who would like to spend more time with us (especially those from out of town!) can meet up. The Hampton has a great breakfast included for those who stay at our hotel, and if you don't stay there you can simply pay a small fee to enjoy the good food with us. We will leave for our honeymoon that afternoon.

We would be especially pleased if you could make it on our wedding day, or the following day, and look forward to seeing all our friends and family.

Vincent and I have registered at Traveler's Joy, a honeymoon registry.

We know that this is not your ordinary wedding registry. We both wanted something that was uniquely us; something that reflected who we are and what we love to do in life. So after much thought and research, we decided on a honeymoon registry. We know that the honeymoon will not only celebrate the start of our new life together, but will create life-long memories as well.

This is a chance to be with us in spirit during our journey. Every time you pick an activity, item, or gift through our honeymoon registry, you are adding to our lives in innumerable ways by giving us an experience we will remember far into the future. Thank you for being a part of the celebrations and helping with our dream honeymoon, as we would not be able to make it happen without your support!

The honeymoon registry should be easy to use and fun to look through. There are five categories: the Necessities, the Delectables, the Palate-Teasers, the Adventures, and the Supplies. If you have any questions please call us! (541-575-0288) The best part about it is that when you give a gift, we get an email that tells us what you gave with a special message from you, and we'll send you a photo when we get back!

Thank you again, and cheers to the joining of two families and many friends for this wonderful occasion!

The Necessities

Airfare. A roundtrip flight to/from our honeymoon destination is the gift that keeps on giving! I've heard that you can sometimes get upgraded for being on your honeymoon - here's wishing we have a great flight either way!

Our Accommodations. Welcoming rooms with truly great views - we may never leave! Located in the heart of things, but still a peaceful respite when we need it, the room will be our starting point to enjoy the things around us.

Cost Each	$50.00

Ground Transportation. We'll need to get from Point A to Point B, and make our honeymoon trip a little more enjoyable. The picture is of one of my favorite cars, the Smart Car, but for Vincent's sake we would get something else!

Bicycles. On some days we might leave the car behind and reduce our carbon emissions by renting bicycles. We'll be able to smell the sweet air, feel the sun on our backs, and enjoy a great exercise! Tandem, anyone?

The Palate-Teasers
