We're Getting Married!
Welcome Family and Friends
We are so thankful to those who have supported us throughout our time of dating and who continue to support us now in marriage. Since we have had some time to settle into the married life, save up, and plan our dream trip, we're ready to announce our plans for our delayed honeymoon! We'll be going to New Zealand for about 2 weeks in December 2025-January 2026. We are so excited! Feel free to browse our ideas. We hope to make it clear that we created this website primarily to share with family and friends that would like to gift a specific experience (or put money towards a portion of it) or gift towards something extra (a specific luxury we might not choose ourselves). You are not required or expected to give. We love and appreciate you all!
