Stenges and Chirko Are Getting Married!!!: Registry

To be honest, the idea of a wedding registry makes us all squirmy. The best present, and the one we're hoping for the most is just the gift of your presence. But we know that some people like a little bit of tradition, and we don't want to make anyone else feel squirmy either. So in that spirit, we have set up a registry for our honeymoon. But really, we'll be just as happy with a big old hug. No joke.

We're planning on what we are affectionately referring to as "The Grand Tour." We'll see London, Paris, Barcelona, and Madrid.

Both of us believe in the importance and power of seeing as much of the world as possible. As Mark Twain said, "“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness...Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” Since open-mindedness, curiosity, and a sense of wonder are all things we're looking to cultivate in our shared life, we think starting our marriage off as explorers is a good way to get the ball rolling. If you would like contribute online to our registry to help us see the sights, we would be beyond appreciative.

Or, if you just want to give us a card, we'd love that too! There will be a box for cards at the reception.

Want to get an idea of the kind of hare-brained tom-foolery we plan on getting up to? Here are some of things we're hoping to see...
