Giftello - the new new registry

As some of you know, Britt & I are planning a trip to Argentina for our honeymoon.  We've traveled a lot and yet we've never been to South America together.  This trip will be extra special in a lot of ways:  Our first as married couple and our first time in Argentina together. 

There are a lot of things we'd like to do, and so we've signed up for "Giftello" as part of a "honeymoon" registry that's personalized for us.   In it, are things Britt & I would love to do on our journey.   From a night of tango to a simple picnic in the park.  So, if you would love to help us please visit Giftello.com and pick something you'd like for us to enjoy.  We'll document that activity in a creative way (Ricky does video & photography and Britt can be funny) and we'll send you our adventure recap. 

How does it work?  Easy.  You visit our Honeymoon Registry and look through our activities and simply select and check out using PayPal. If you haven't used PayPal, don't worry.  You can use your credit card.

If you'd like to simply use the regular registry, that's fine too!  We're registered at Sur La Table.

Wedding Advice - Tip #1

As married couples know, they get a lot of advice.  I mean a TON. We've been offered wedding advice on everything from flowers to invitations.  Do's and don'ts. You name it, we probably got that bit of advice already.  So I decided it would be nice to share some of the useful tips we get, and today's post is our first. 

Notebooks.  This piece of advice came from my mom, who said "you should get a notebook so that you can write down everything and keep track of things.  It'll also serve as a sort of 'agreement' between you both."  Not bad.  So we did, I went out and bought some Moleskine notebooks, which as many of you know are my favorite.  They are pictured on the right.

It serves as a great catch-all for us and it'll also be nice to look back on it many years from now. Thanks Mom.
