Hello friends and family,
Welcome to our honeymoon registry!
As you know, Taylor and I are not a typical couple. Aside from our bizarre story of how we got here today, we have just managed to combine our two overstuffed apartments and barely find room for ourselves, the menagerie of animals, and our four bikes (which only live indoors)! We have all of the sports equipment, house wares, linens, and cooking gear that we can fit in our apartment. And no, Taylor does not really cook. Per my conversation with Olivia the other day, she said: Lisi, why do you always cook and Daddy never does? I kindly responded: Livie, if Daddy cooked we wouldn’t eat until midnight every night.
So we thought a classic bridal registry wouldn't work for us. But then again, we’re not all that typical.
We are both huge fans of traveling and gathering new experiences. When we discovered the honeymoon registry, we were elated! We have compiled a list of dream adventures that we would like to accomplish on our honeymoon. The registry allows you to give these experiences as gifts - so instead of a traditional gift, you can buy us swimming with dolphins in Southern New Zealand (with the smallest and rarest dolphins in the world!) or a winery tour (and yes there will be many).
The memories of this trip will be worth more than you can imagine. We have taken many exciting trips but this will be our first trip as husband and wife! When we are old and gray, we won't be talking about our amazing espresso machine. Instead we'll be talking about how Lisa twisted Taylor’s arm to climb the Sydney Harbor Bridge (good luck Lisa!) and overcome his fear of heights (which he will hopefully have forgiven me for at that point!) (Not likely!) We will fondly remember and appreciate these gifts of lasting memories for the rest of our lives.
We are so excited to see you all at the wedding and celebrate non-stop!
With love,
Lisa and Taylor
We're going to New Zealand and Australia!
We are so excited for the adventure of a lifetime. We figure if we're traveling across the world, we might as well do as much as possible while we're there, so we're visiting New Zealand and Australia! In planning our trip, Taylor and I read and researched extensively and got so incredibly excited about all of the fabulous experiences that we would enjoy together and remember forever.
We envision our honeymoon as the perfect combination of adventure, exploration, wine tasting and a little relaxation. We will start our trip in Auckland, the capital of New Zealand, at the top of the North Island. Some say that Aukland is the sailing capital of the world. Its rich sailing tradition recently included an impressive run as host and defender of The Americas Cup. Taylor is an avid sailor and we're both big fans of Newport, RI so we'll need to set sail in Aukland to see this for ourselves! We will then make our way by car and ferry to the bottom of the South Island. We'll stop along the way for hiking, caving, wine touring, dolphin swimming, cycling, whale watching, and hopefully hang gliding. We will hike across the Milford Track, said to be "the finest walk in the world". It is extremely remote and beautiful, where we will immerse ourselves in the grandeur of huge peaks, waterfalls and sheer rock faces.
After making our way to the bottom of the South Island, we will head to Australia. G'day mate! Here we will visit Sydney, my favorite place in the world, and Melbourne and the Great Barrier Reef.
During the whole trip we hope to do some amazing, once in a lifetime experiences. We are also leaving room for some unplanned and spontaneous activities. We are so excited and can't wait to see these beautiful countries. (We have divided the cost of the experiences below so that more than one person might choose to contribute to the experience.)
Thank you for visiting our honeymoon registry and participating in this incredibly exciting time of our lives.
