Welcome Family and Friends
We’ve dreamed of this trip for years, our first adventure as a married couple. Just the two of us, getting wonderfully lost in Japan’s magic. If you feel like gifting us a memory, thank you. You’re helping us start our marriage with stories we’ll tell forever. With love, Jamie & Chesney
