Hi Everyone!

Thank you for visiting our honeymoon registry site. We hope to see all of you all in Seattle on October 5th for the wedding. It will be wonderful to have our family and friends there to share this special day with us. We especially appreciate all of our guests from Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, California, Oregon, Nevada, Washington, D.C., Maryland, Massachusetts, France, Switzerland, and around the world who are making the trek to Washington to celebrate with us. We hope that you'll love the Kiana Lodge, Seattle, the Kitsap Peninsula, Mt. Rainier and the Olympic mountain scenery as much as we do! We appreciate your efforts in helping us celebrate our special day.

As you all know, we moved to Luxembourg in June with Martin’s job and will be living here for 2-3 years. Luxembourg is a tiny country tucked in the middle of Western Europe, and while we love it here, voltage, shipping, and language barriers have made registering for gifts a bit more difficult.

As a result, we decided to create a honeymoon registry that will allow us to celebrate our marriage with a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Africa - specifically the Cape Wine Country, Cape Town, Safari in the MalaMala Game Reserve in South Africa, and topping it all off with a visit to the Seychelle Islands! We are planning to honeymoon there in February of 2009.

For those of you preferring a more traditional option, we have also registered for a small number of items at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html?ie=UTF8&type=wedding&id=12NJOMN577QLE">Amazon.com</a> . Anyway, presents are not necessary, and if you can make it to our celebration in Seattle and/or Wichita in October, that is the best gift we could ask for!

Thanks again for sharing in our celebration!

Love,
Kelly and Martin
