Hi everyone!

Thank you for visiting our honeymoon registry. We are looking forward to seeing all of you in October for our wedding. It will be so exciting to have all of our friends and family gathered in New Orleans for what is sure to be a memorable event. We especially appreciate all of you, who are traveling great distances to share the evening with us. We hope you will enjoy our city, our party and our attention to detail. The reward of planning something special for the people we love gives us immense pleasure.

If there is one thing we cherish above all else in this world it is our experiences. From making Halloween costumes and wedding invitations to driving through the Grand Canyon in snowy 4-degree weather with the top down, we hold dear every moment. It is the memories we gather in these moments together that we will remember, as we grow older together. Thank you for helping us create more memories and for being a part of our lives.

Alexis & Greg

We're going to New Zealand!

Watch out Kiwis, here we come!

We have been dreaming of visiting New Zealand for over a decade now and when we were deciding on a place to honeymoon it was the natural choice. Neither of us have ever had the opportunity to travel overseas or out of the country for that matter and we decided now’s the time to go all out. We are planning a whirlwind 3 week adventure in New Zealand and are absolutely over the moon with excitement. We will arrive in the city of Christchurch on the South Island on December 14th and spend the next 9 days traversing mountains, glaciers, beaches, rainforests, and rolling countryside in a campervan. We will then trade in the camper for a 4x4 SUV and travel by ferry to the North Island just in time to spend Christmas in Wellington, the country’s film making hub. The remainder of our trip is one exciting day after another touring towns, tramping through National Parks in search of flightless birds, visiting wineries and Maori villages, cave diving and having a blast. We will end our trip in Auckland, New Zealand’s largest, most cosmopolitan city, just in time for the New Year.
