Dear friends and family,

First off, we'd 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, and we are so thrilled that we will be able to celebrate this happy occasion with you.

As you probably know, we love to travel. We love seeing the globe so much that we've planned a travel themed wedding. We are blessed to already have many of the traditional "home goods." This is why we decided to create a honeymoon registry.

Although we have traveled across Europe together, we have never been to the beach. We've decided on Punta Cana -- warm and ocean-front! If you would like to give us a gift, please consider the gift of beautiful travel and honeymoon memories. We greatly appreciate and will fondly remember these gifts for years and decades to come.

So what is a honeymoon registry? This website allows you to participate in our trip! Instead of registering for lots of home goods, we've registered for lodging, transportation, activities, gear, and all sorts of adventures on our trip. We hope this will allow us to take a honeymoon we would otherwise not be able to afford. Traveler's Joy tells us who gave us what item, so we can send you pictures of what we did with your gift! [We have also registered for some needed home goods. If you would like to give us a traditional gift, head to Target for our registry there!]

We would like to emphasize that your presence is truly our present. We are delighted to share in our wedding celebration with you. If you feel inclined to gift us with an item as well, this can help be a guide. Also, please do not feel limited by this site. If you would rather dream up an activity and mail or bring us a gift, we will say thank you and make it happen!

We love you.
Thank you,

Rachel and Raymond

We're going to Punta Cana!
