Hi everyone!

First off, we'd like to say that your participation in our wedding celebration 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 those of you who travel to Morocco.

For those of you who won't be able to make it to North Africa, but want to participate in our wedding experience in other ways, we've set up this registry. Since by the time we integrate our households we'll have more "stuff" than will fit in Gretchen's house, we decided to register for amazing honeymoon adventures instead of traditional gifts. We greatly appreciate and will fondly remember your gift of memories for years to come. After all, the memories from this honeymoon will last a lot longer than a new set of wine glasses (especially at Gretchen's breakage rate!).

We'll do our best to document our experience via photo and video. Then we'll share them with everyone at home in Seattle and on our wedding website.

Love,
Gretchen & Josh

We're going to Marrakech, Tangier, Fes, Essaouira, El Aioun!

Josh and Gretchen chose to have their wedding and honeymoon in Morocco...

We will be having a multi-day wedding celebration in Marrakech. After the wedding ceremony, we will embark on the trip of a lifetime. Our honeymoon will start in the northern costal town of Tangier. We will then wind our way south to the Western Sahara where will end our trip taking a camel trek across the sand dunes. We can't wait for our trip and to share our memories with all of you. Thank you all for helping us to make this trip possible!
