We can't wait to celebrate our wedding with you! Each one of you is so important to us and we hope you can all make it from your far-flung corners of the globe. We feel truly blessed to have such a loving circle of family and friends.

Some of our best times together have occurred on our summer road trips. For our honeymoon, we wanted to go somewhere relaxing, but where we could explore, get outdoors, and enjoy each other's company. From the frigid depths of the New England "spring," the New Mexico desert sounded perfect. We'll base ourselves in Santa Fe, a great town for art and food, and explore the surrounding desert on day hikes. If you want to give us a gift to celebrate our marriage, we hope you'll consider helping us build these wonderful memories. If you prefer something more traditional, we also have a small registry at Crate & Barrel with a few kitchen essentials (not too much for these apartment-dwellers!) But most importantly, please come celebrate our wedding day with us if you can!

We're going to Santa Fe, NM!

We miss the wild west! So we're headed to sunny New Mexico, for a week in and around Santa Fe. Both of us love the New Mexico high desert and the artsy community and spicy cuisine of Santa Fe, but this will be our first trip there together. We're looking forward to a relaxing (and did I mention sunny?) change of pace. High on our list of priorities: dinner at the fabulous Cafe Pasqual; taking the "high road" to Taos for some gallery hopping; desert hiking near Georgia O'Keefe's ranch in Abiquiu; climbing the ladders at Bandelier National monument; relaxing spa treatments at the Japanese-style spa 10,000 Waves; margs and burritos at The Shed; and did I mention the food? If Patrick can lure Ingrid-the-desert-rat out of the sun, we will take shelter in the cool confines of some local bookstores, and the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. We're hoping to find some one-of-a-kind art from galleries in Santa Fe and Taos to home as a memento of the trip.
