Hi Family and Friends!

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 thrilled to share our special day with you.

Over the years we have been blessed with many of the home "essentials" that new married couples need, and at this point in our life desire nothing more than a once-in-a-lifetime dream European honeymoon.

While Sloan and I have taken many exciting trips together, we are very much looking forward to our first "real adventure" as husband and wife. It is because of the lifelong memories we will gain from this trip that we finally settled on a honeymoon registry. We greatly appreciate and will fondly remember these gifts for years to come!! After all, the memories from this honeymoon adventure will last a lot longer than a new set of wine glasses (especially at Sloan's breakage rate!).

We'll do our best to take photos of our experience to include in your much-deserved "thank you" note. In closing, THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT! We can't wait to see you at the wedding (or earlier!).

All Our Love,
Amber and Sloan

We're going to Italy: Sorrento and Florence, France: Paris!

Our travels will start in Rome exploring the cities history and glory of The Vatican. After a couple of days we'll catch the train north to the romantic city of Florence which we'll call home for the majority of our days in Italy. From Florence we'll frequently take day trips to nearby Tuscan villages, and since November begins the Olive harvest the fields will be lush and ripe. Also on the itinerary: amazing restaurants and romantic dinners, countryside bike rides, rowboats on the channel, and visits to the Duomo and Cathedrals...just to name a few! After our ten day Italian adventure we'll catch a night train to Paris where we'll spend five nights in the worlds "most romantic city". Museum visits, strolls through the park, gourmet dining experiences, and romantic sunsets at the Eiffel Tower are just a few of the ways we will enjoy our honeymoon in Paris!
