Dear Family and Friends,

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 on our special day is something we deeply appreciate in our hearts and we are thrilled that we will be able to celebrate this special occasion with you.

By moving around a lot and living separated at times we have accumulated a lot of the essential home items. As most of you know our wanderlust has been a factor in how we met, how we dated and it’s a passion we hope to continue with our marriage. We truly cherish the memories made on our trips and love to revisit them and plan our future adventures while relaxing at home. We couldn't ask for a better present than to spend time together exploring unknown places, experiencing a foreign culture and traditions and enjoying the local cuisine. While we have taken many exciting trips together, we are very much looking forward to our first real adventure as husband and wife.

We hope you find this registry as a way to help us make our perfect honeymoon come true! It is because of the lifetime of memories we will gain from this trip that we decided to have a honeymoon registry. We greatly appreciate and will fondly remember these gifts for years to come. After all, the memories from our honeymoon will last a lot longer than a new set of pots. ;-)

Thank you very much and we can’t wait to see you at the wedding!

Choosing a honeymoon location wasn't hard at all; we've always shared a fascination for New Zealand and would have probably moved there after college if it weren't so far from our families and friends. It has everything to offer we’d expect from a perfect vacation spot. We love beach holidays, but also need some action... New Zealand combines both. Our adventurous side will be seeking out mountains and glaciers to climb, coastlines to sail along, and caves to dive into. Our relaxed side will be seeking out pristine white beaches to soak up the sun and calm boat rides to do some whale watching. We’ll be hitting sleepy little towns for homemade foods and other local specialties as well as vibrant cities to dance the night away. We can’t wait to embark on our first adventure as newlyweds and make memories of a lifetime.

We're going to Up and down New Zealand!
