Hi everyone!

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 in our hearts, and we are so thrilled that we will be able to celebrate this happy occasion with you.

We have been blessed to have a lot of the "essential" home items a newly engaged couple needs. We hope you find this registry as a way to help us make our perfect honeymoon come true! While Marty 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 lifetime of 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.

The El Dorado Casitas Royale is an amazing resort! We can't wait to lay on the beaches, take day trips, snorkel, and eat and drink as husband and wife! Mr. and Mrs Mooshie in Love!

We'll do our best to document our experience via photo and include it in your much-deserved "thank you" note.

Thanks again and we can't wait to see you at the wedding (or earlier!).

Love,
Marty and Deb;)

We're going to Playa del Carmen, Mexico!

El Dorado Casitas Royale, one of Conde Nast Traveler Readers Top 100 Hotels in the World and a AAA Four Diamond Resort, is the top of romantic seaside luxury.

Snuggled along the beach in a separate, private area within El Dorado Royale in the Mexico Riviera Maya, El Dorado Casitas Royale is an adults only resort made for romance. An impressive selection of amenities and services make this an unmatchable destination for romantic honeymoons! They offer a twenty four hour casitas concierge team that allow us to never lift a finger! Each casita comes with a beach bed, each spaced for privacy and attended by a beach butler service! Move over Mr. Belvedere!

Every casita faces the beautiful clear waters of the Carribbean sea and all have in-suite Jacuzzi's and an outdoor shower called "Aguas del Amor"! Jacuzzi with an ocean view? Showering under the stars?... Sign us up!!!!! How awesome is that!!!! They have seven different gourmet dining restaurants, maybe we should register for some elastic waisted pants for the trip home! The on site rejuvenating spa offers an array of services from facials to couples massages..... ooohhh lalala, we cant wait to be pampered! The thirteen on site swimming pools will keep us appropriately pruney for our entire stay;)
