Katie & Shaan

September 10, 2011

Hello to our friends and family!

Shaan and Katie (we) love to travel. Together, we've been to different places in New York, New Jersey, Nevada, Illinois, Wisconsin, Washington DC, California, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Florida, Canada...

Not to mention even bigger trips to London, Egypt, the Bahamas, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.

We LOVE to travel.

Our lives took a change when Shaan went back to school and Katie began employment as a social worker. Although it's not possible at this time to take an international honeymoon immediately following the wedding, we have our sights set on a fantastic trip in 2012.

We envision a honeymoon just in time to celebrate our first year anniversary of marriage, in September of 2012--starting off exploring the sights and sounds of culturally rich Istanbul, Turkey and then finishing with many relaxing days lounging around the island of Santorini, Greece.

Thank you in advance for choosing to help us accomplish this amazing trip and celebrate the first year of our marital journey together!
