Hey everybody,

Thank you for visiting our Honeymoon Registry!

We know what you are thinking: "What is a Honeymoon Registry?" In essence, this registry provides a way for friends and family to contribute to experiences as well as items. We know that as we grow old, it will be the memories from this time that we will cherish the most.

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

We couldn't be more excited about this trip. We'll be spending one week in the Catalonia region of Spain and the second tooling around the small mountain towns of the Swiss Alps. Both Spain and Switzerland have been dream destinations since childhood, so what better time to visit than together after our wedding?

We'll use the first week to relax and partake in the siesta lifestyle of Spain. We plan to soak up Spanish culture in Barcelona, eat amazing tapas in Girona and drink some fantastic wine in Penedes.

Then the trip takes a turn and becomes highly active in Switzerland. We want to hike, hang glide and mountain climb throughout Switzerland. We're going to venture into small towns that forbid cars from entering so we can get a truly authentic feel for Switzerland.

Thank you for helping make this trip possible,
Jake and Anna
