Dear Friends and Family,

Thank you for visiting our honeymoon registry page! We're so happy that you'll be part of our wedding day. We think the honeymoon is an extremely important time for us to grow together, solidify our bond as a married couple, and explore new places and things. We want to make the most out of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We have asked for your help with our trip so that we can really "go for it" and plan the trip of a lifetime! We are so grateful for your contribution - it will allow us to see and do things that we will remember and share as a couple for the rest of our lives.

We searched far and wide for the perfect honeymoon destination, and think we've found it in South Africa! The trip will include what we think is the ideal post-wedding combination - adventure and relaxation. We'll spend four nights in the splendor of the African bush at a the Vuyani Lodge located in a private game reserve near Kruger National Park, where we will participate in morning and evening animal viewing game drives and relax by the pool in the afternoons. We hope to take a scenic drive though the area's Panoramic Route.

From Vuyani, we'll head to the Nelspruit airport and catch a flight to Livingtsone, Zambia. We'll then head to the town of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe which sits at the base of Victoria Falls, one of the world's Seven Natural Wonders. After two nights in Victoria Falls, we will be driven to the Chobe River in Botswana, where we'll spend two luxurious nights on the Zambezi Queen river cruise between the border of Botswana and Namibia near the Okavango Delta. Then we'll be back for a final night in Victoria Falls before heading through Johannesburg again for our flight back to the states.

We have created this honeymoon registry so that our friends and family will have the opportunity to be part of our journey by contributing toward specific items and excursions. We can't wait to share pictures of our adventure with you upon our return!

We are thankful for all of you who will be able to join us on our wedding day. We're doing our best to make sure it will be a fabulous celebration, and your company is certainly the greatest gift we could ask for!

With love,
Tiffany and Trevor
