Dear Friends and Family,


We would like to thank you all for participating in the celebration of our marriage. With our sincerest gratitude we especially appreciate the time, effort and traveling to be with us. It is truly a warm and encouraging feeling to have heard all your well-wishes and excitement about the engagement. We look forward to celebrating this happy occasion with you.


As many of you know, we are a couple that is constantly on the move and truly in our element when traveling. Additionally, given our move to Hong Kong (where standard voltage is 220V, and everything is measured differently), we felt a traditional registry with items to start a new home might not work as well for us. Therefore, we hope you all would contribute to creating an unforgettable Honeymoon experience, one that we will treasure forever.

You all can also be assured that at least one of us (can you guess which one?) will be documenting our travels enthusiastically through photography.

Once again we thank you kindly for your love and support

Sincerely,

Paul and Xiaohui

We're going to Miami, St. Augustine, California, Hawaii!

Dear Guests,

Most of you have seen our plan to go to Southern Europe, but we regret to inform you that a problem has arisen with our original plan. Xiaohui had trouble applying to a Schengen Zone visa for the European Union because of complications with her simultaneous visa application to work in Hong Kong. Therefore, we have to stay in the US and have relocated our honeymoon to a week in Florida, followed by a week in California, and lastly a week in Hawaii.

Unfortunately, this change means we will be altering the honeymoon registry. We apologize to those who have already made purchases and will ensure those individuals that we will be putting their contributions to similiar use in our new plans. As always, we will ensure to share photos of our honeymoon. We thank you for your love and support!

Sincerely,

Paul and Xiaohui
