Derek & Rossitza

We're Getting Married!

Welcome Family and Friends

Hello friends and family, We are honored you will share in our special day. After the last year we've all had, seeing all of our friends and family together for this day is all we could ask for. Your presence is our gift! That being said, we've been fortunate to have been living together for almost 5 years prior to our wedding. We moved into our first home in 2019 and have been making it our own for the last two years. During that time, we've been lucky enough to fill it with the things that a young couple making their first home might need. But if you find yourself wanting to get us a gift for this special day, we invite you to contribute to our dream honeymoon, a trip to the magical land of New Zealand! As many of you know, we met in Italy while studying abroad and traveling is one of our greatest joys in life—interacting with different cultures, experiencing new cuisine, and seeing all the beautiful sights, both man-made and natural, that this world has to offer. New Zealand has long been at the top of our travel list and we are looking to make it our first trip as Mr. and Mrs. Dreis. If you'd like to contribute to a trip through Milford Sound (often referred to as an 8th wonder of the world), a journey through “Middle Earth,” or our stay in the vibrant city of Wellington, then we would be most grateful for helping us experience our trip of a lifetime. Thanks for visiting and we can't wait to see you on our big day!
