A long courtship if there ever was one! This event is several years in the making, ...beginning over 16 years ago! As with most relationships, the many years have seen several cycles of good times and bad times. Thankfully, these have been balanced out through love and compromise, and dedication to our small but inseparable family unit, ...a family brought closer by the addition of a beautiful and loving daughter.

     A special day, no doubt, regardless of how long it took to become a reality! Even after all this time, Leena can hardly contain her excitement (and anxiety) that goes hand-in-hand with wedding planning and anticipation. In the span of 16 years we have met and made many friends. In would be impossible to plan an event that could encompass all the individuals and couples we have come to know during our years together. Although we would very much love to have many of these people attend our wedding, the cost and capacity would exceed way beyond our means. Please know that careful thought was put into our guest list and we are happy and honored to have those that will attend one of the biggest events in our lives.

     Party time! Time to reward ourselves for perseverance and hard work in both planning our wedding and lasting this long together! Unlike many newlyweds, we are not spring chickens. We have been around for awhile, amassing a wealth of valuables (and junk) that fills our household. Therefore, we have decided to include no other registry besides this honeymoon registry where we feel any gifts would be much better utilized. We thank you in advance for all your best wishes and contributions, and ask that you keep us in your prayers for a safe and wonderful trip, as well as a long and happy life together.

     Thank You Once Again!

          Love, Leena and Philip
