Hello Everybody!

Thank you for visiting our Honeymoon Registry! We love to cook and, over our years together, we have managed to acquire every kitchen item ever created. You name it, we have it: stand mixer, food processor, ice cream maker, juicer, deep-fryer, stone guacamole bowl, even a milk-shake maker. What we haven't gotten to do as much as we'd like is travel the world and what better way to do that than on our honeymoon?

France is on Josh's bucket list and Spain is on Joyce's so we are going to do both countries and we are going to do them right by spending two weeks in each country! Both places are so full of culture, food, and wine that we're not sure if we can fit it all in!

While your presence on our special day is more than we could ask for, we would be extremely grateful for anything you'd like to help us with for this trip of a lifetime. Take a peek below to see what we're planning to do!

We're going to All over France and Spain!!

We plan to fly into Paris and work our way through France and Spain.

The Musee d'Orsay. Too much art to fit only in the Louvre, so we'll have to make a stop at France's second best museum as well! The Grand Aisle houses a scale model of The Statue of Liberty, made by the same man who built our Lady Liberty
