Hello everyone!

First of all, we'd like to say that in addition to your love and support throughout our entire relationship, we are so honored that you have also chosen to witness our commitment to each other as we exchange our wedding vows. The time, effort, and expense of traveling to be with us in New Mexico is something we deeply appreciate, and your presence at our wedding is gift in itself.
Since we have already created a home with each other during the last 1.5-2 years, we have been blessed to have a lot of the "essential" home items that anyone could need (and that we could fit in a one bedroom apartment). We hope you find this registry as a way to help us make our perfect honeymoon come true....and what better honeymoon than Bora Bora! With the excitement of planning a wedding, we are very much looking forward to relaxing in one of the most beautiful places in the world. We know that our honeymoon will bring a lifetime of memories, and mark the beginning of many more adventures to come.
We'll do our best to document our experience and share with you in the much deserved "thank you" cards.
Thanks again and we can't wait to see you at the wedding!

Love,
Maurella and Ekemba

We're going to Bora Bora!

Under a one hour flight from the island of Tahiti or Moorea, the island of Bora Bora, with a lagoon resembling an artist's palette of blues and greens, is love at first sight. Romantics from around the world have laid claim to this island where the castle-like Mount Otemanu pierces the sky. Lush tropical slopes and valleys blossom with hibiscus, while palm-covered motu circle the illuminated lagoon like a delicate necklace. Perfect white-sand beaches give way to emerald waters where colored fish animate the coral gardens as they greet the giant manta rays. This could be easily be described as the center of the romantic universe, where luxury resorts and spas dot the island with overwater bungalows, thatchedroof villas, and fabled ambience.

Boarding Buddha- Although our sweet puppy brings so much joy to our lives, he needs lots of attention. We don't know anyone who likes us that much to take care of him for 10 days, while we are getting married and on our honeymoon. Cats are much easier...

Parasailing- I have always wanted to do this. I'm (Maurella) not a great swimmer but I love the water. I don't think of myself as an adventurous person, but I look forward to having this amazing experience over the clear blue ocean in Bora Bora.
