Zach and Jess grew up in the same town in Missouri and went to the same school and graduated the same year. Out of all that, the only class they ever had together was a 12th grade painting class.

Fast forward 8 years and they found each other living in Nashville. They decided to get together to catch up one evening and really just never stopped hanging out after that. They've been dating ever since!

Since then, they have seen each other through all kinds of life experiences. Together they are raising their two cats, perfecting their cooking skills, and traveling. After growing together as a couple for 2 years, they decided to get married.

The typical gift registry, they felt, was for a traditional couple who came straight from their parent's home to their new home with nothing. But since Zach and Jess already have the things they need for their home, they thought a honeymoon fund would be a great alternative to a gift registry.

Since they both enjoy exploring outdoors, the beach and hiking, they are planning a honeymoon to visit Hawaii and explore the area together for a week.

There is no obligation for wedding guests to contribute to this honeymoon fund, your presence at the wedding is more than enough. If you are wanting to give a wedding gift, this is a good means to do so!

Thank you for taking the time to read our short story.

Love,

Zach and Jess
