Hi everyone!

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 is something we deeply appreciate, and we are so thrilled that we will be able to celebrate this happy occasion with you.

We have been blessed to have a lot of the "essential" home items a newly engaged couple needs. We hope you find this registry as a way to help us make our perfect honeymoon come true! While Paul and I have taken many exciting trips together, we are very much looking forward to our first real adventure as husband and wife. It is because of the lifetime of memories we will gain from this trip that we finally settled on a honeymoon registry. We greatly appreciate and will fondly remember these gifts 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 Robyn's breakage rate!).

We'll do our best to document our experience via photo and include it in your much-deserved "thank you" note.

Thanks again and we can't wait to see you at the wedding (or earlier!).

Love,
Robyn & Paul

"Our honeymoon will shine our life long: its beams will only fade over your grave or mine.”

We're going to Three distinct ecoregions in Costa Rica!

Costa Rica's forests hold an array of flora and fauna so vast and diverse that scientists haven't even named thousands of the species found there. The country covers less than 0.03% of the Earth's surface, yet it contains nearly 5% of the planet's plant and animal species.

We're going on a 10-day eco-adventure that includes everything from birdwatching to beachside massages. We'll start at the Tortuga Lodge on the Carribbean coast, where we hope to see sea turtles nesting in Tortuguero National Park. Then we'll head inland to the Monteverde reserve in the highlands, for looks at the Resplendant Quetzal (hopefully they'll cooperate). Then we'll head west to the Osa Peninsula and Corcovado National Park, which sits on 930 acres of private rainforest preserve. We're going to stay at fabulous eco-resorts, where expert guides will transport us safely through the rainforest and teach us about the local flora and fauna. This is truly as close to paradise as its gets. We may never come back... :-)
