Thanks for visiting our wedding registry!

Shane and I are so excited to celebrate the start of our new lives together with family and friends in August. We can't wait to start the new chapter in our life together and we've decided to spend our first months as husband & wife traveling the world.

We will start in South America and make our way back to Ireland taking the long way around - through Australia, New Zealand, Asia, India, Europe, and finally back to the Emerald Isle for Christmas.

There's an old saying, "travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer," and I can't think of a better gift for our wedding than to have our family and friends be a part of our whirlwind journey.

Take a look at some of the activities, destinations, and special extra's we'd love to enjoy on our trip and choose the one(s) that speak most to you! We'll be thinking of you when we go hiking in Machu Picchu, relaxing on the beaches of Thailand, and discovering new colors and flavors in India.

To stay involved in our adventure, check out our travel blog at https://adventuresofmrandmrsblog.wordpress.com/

Thanks everyone, we love you more than words!

Love,

Shane & Michelle
