Hi everyone!

We truly appreciate the time, effort, and expense of traveling to be with us when we say our vows. We are looking forward to making this lifelong commitment in the presence of our loved ones, and we couldn't be more thrilled that you will be there to share the day with us!

John and I have been lucky to begin building our life and our home together for a full two years before our wedding; as such, we've already bought ourselves many of the essentials, from chef knives to a food processor to fun things like a deep fryer and an ice cream maker. As avid cooks, we've already bought many kitchen gadgets! Thus, it was hard to make a "traditional" registry.

We have always valued experiences over items. For many birthdays, anniversaries, and Christmas presents, we have taken each other out to dinner or to a museum, because the best gift is spending time together.

Despite this attitude, we've never taken a big trip together, and want our honeymoon to be an incredible experience we'll remember fondly throughout our marriage! We hope you'll find this registry to be a unique way of helping us start our life together. We want to start our marriage with an adventure, in a place we may never go otherwise!

Thanks again and we can't wait to see you at the wedding. After all, it's your presence, not your presents, that means the most to us.

Love,
Dana and John
