Welcome to our honeymoon registry!
...and a brief description of how this all came about.
The Proposal:
We were in Mexico, on top of the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan, when Scott got on bended knee and removed his straw hat to propose to me. We had ascended 750 in the hot sun to reach the very top of the pyramid. The altitude and the crowd were dizzying enough, but a woman behind Scott actually fainted on him. I didn't notice the commotion because I was busy finding a place to sit on the lower terrace and enjoy the view. Evidently, this was not what Scott had planned. He told me later that after offering his bottle of water to the woman who had fallen, he wandered around, hoping I would eventually join him back on the top. He instead had to ask me to join him for a picture. I walked back to the top and began looking for a good background for the picture. I turned back around to face Scott and he was on his knee. He had also planned ahead and had asked my niece Colleen to take pictures of the event. With his great-grandmother's ring in hand, Scott proposed to me and I happily accepted.
The Wedding:
We are planning an outdoor wedding on September 29, 2008 at McMenamin's Edgefield Hotel, outside of Portland, Oregon. We both love the colors and light of the fall. We chose Edgefield because of its charm and offerings for our guests. We can't wait to see all of our friends and family together for our celebration.

There are blocked rooms still available for our event under "Johnston/Tice". Please call 800 669-8610.
The Honeymoon:
After much talking and online researching and guidebook flipping, as well as taking in all recommendations from friends and family, we have decided to go to our absolute #1 choice: Paris. We've both been inspired by this city for years and can't believe that we are actually going to be in The City of Lights!
Thank you for visiting our registry and we hope to see you very soon.

We're going to Paris, France!
We fly out of Portland for our dream honeymoon on Wednesday after the wedding. We arrive the next day in Paris at 8 in the morning. We are staying in an adorable hotel that is located between the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Elysees.

Our agenda is pretty open for our week in Paris, but we have also been listing some of our must-do's:
We planned a bus tour for our first full day in Paris. Of course the Louvre will be our one and only focus for at least one day. A friend has recommended the restaurant at the Eiffel Tower at sunset. We want to see the Moulin Rouge, Notre-Dame, the Seine, the Latin Quarter, the unique neighborhoods and the many, many museums.
We plan to be very busy and soak up as much as we can of the city.
Thank you very much for gifts for our dream honeymoon.
