Vanessa & Tanner

Welcome Family and Friends

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all! If you’d like to help us start our married life with unforgettable memories, we’ve created a honeymoon fund in place of a traditional gift registry. Contributions will go toward our dream getaway, and we’d be so grateful for your love and support as we embark on this exciting adventure together. ❤️

Honeymoon

Costa Rica

We are so excited to share a little glimpse into why we’ve chosen Costa Rica for our honeymoon — a place that feels like the perfect blend of who we are and what we love. From the moment we started dreaming about this trip, we knew we wanted a destination that offered more than just beautiful beaches (though we’re not complaining about those either!). We both have a deep love for adventure, the outdoors, and animals, and Costa Rica truly checks every box. Whether it’s ziplining through the lush rainforest canopy, hiking to breathtaking waterfalls, soaking in natural hot springs, or spotting monkeys and sloths in their natural habitat, we can’t wait to explore it all — together. But even beyond the adventure, there’s something incredibly romantic about the idea of waking up in a cozy jungle bungalow, listening to the sounds of nature all around us, and spending uninterrupted time as husband and wife. We want to soak in every bit of the wild beauty and peaceful magic this country has to offer. Costa Rica feels like the perfect place to celebrate the start of our forever — full of joy, wonder, love, and a little adrenaline too.
