Three years ago, I met a girl at a bar. Now we're planning a wedding in October. Trust me, lots of great stuff happened between now and then. (Including the best Christmas ever! -Melissa)

Lots of people have asked us if we've set up a wedding registry, but truth be told, we already have too much stuff. We're trying to get rid of some of the stuff we have. The last thing we need is more stuff.

What we do need, however, is a vacation.

Melissa and I would like to begin our big adventure together with a grand honeymoon. We'd like to take two weeks off to celebrate our nuptials in two cities where celebration is a way of life -- Las Vegas and New Orleans! She's never been to Vegas. Neither of us have ever been to New Orleans. What better time than now?

We appreciate all the love and support we've received from so many people during this engagement and throughout our relationship, and we hope you'll join us in making this dream of ours come true.
