Hello Friends and Family!

Thank you for visiting our honeymoon registry! We decided to register for the gift of travel in addtion to traditional gifts because we have both lived on our own for 5 years (9 years if you count college!). In that time we have both accumulated a lot of the things couples typically need when starting a life together.

Nether of us have been to Europe. Sarah has never been on a cruise either, but Bob has gone many times with his family and loved it! We thought the best way to start off our life together was to go somewhere new for both of us and to see as many places as possible! Plus, we are both very active and didn't think laying around on a beach was the best fit for us. We have heard how exhausting these types of cruises are, and that sounded perfect for us!

We are so excited for this trip of a lifetime. We can think of no better way to start our marriage than a romantic adventure together.

We really appreciate your support in sending us off to our wonderful honeymoon.

We'll do our best to document our experience via photo and include it in your much-deserved "thank you" note. This should be NO problem for Sarah ;)

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

Love,
Sarah and Bob
