Love, an unquantifiable measurement of life, but a wonderful and fulfilling necessity.  What can come from a chance meeting or a dance with destiny? Questions that reveal their answers with the sweet and delicate passage of time.  Friends becoming lovers and lovers becoming more than each other thought possible.  Culminating in a devotion of the soul and a the melding of the heart.

As we move closer to our special day we cannot express our gratitude for all of the help and care you, our friends and family, have given us.  Our celebration is not only a moment for us, but we hope that it will be a memorable experience for you as well.  Once again, thank you for being a part of our life together and we cannot wait for October 27th, 2012!

Well I pray to God on high, that thou my constancy mayst see, and that yet once before I die, thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.  

A little dramatic, hehe.  Greensleeves, possibly by Henry VIII for his future queen Anne Boleyn, but beautiful nonetheless (Richard promises our marriage will not end the same way).  Every relationship is unique, and with that in mind, we thought we would try a unique registry.  Something that would incorporate ourselves and allow our guests to have some fun, too.  

Our registry is a Honeymoon registry.  It allows you to contribute directly to our trip with a host of various options and items that will make our honeymoon truly memorable.  We hope you enjoy perusing the fantastic items we have lined up, and once again, thank you so much for being a part of our wedding.

We sat one day thinking of our life together, the one that we will be sharing forever.  We wanted to think of the best way to mark the beginning of our married life.  Where should we go on our honeymoon?  Living in Miami, the allure of the ocean is ever present, but it afforded us the option of seeking out a change of scenery. Somewhere green, somewhere historic, somewhere fun...

IRELAND!!!

It came to both of us at the same time.  It seems the perfect place for us.  A lush country with a deep culture, it presents a journey worthy of rememberance.  Castles, brew, food, adventure, and pictures (lots and lots of pictures) await us across the sea. We are truly excited, and as mentioned, you can help us plan what the activities we do.

PS: Melissa asked for no ghost tours, so make sure to schedule five!

Curiousity is not a sin.  We will be finishing our trip in London.  We plan on definitely making a few Harry Potter related stops.  Who knows - if we are lucky, an owl may be waiting with a letter inviting us to mysterious, magical castle.  

But, if there is no owl, there will still be lots of museums, bus tours, fish and chips, and yes, pictures (lots and lots and lots of pictures).

Thank you. We hold each of you dear and are so happy you are sharing this moment with us.

Love,

Richard & Melissa
